5. 5-12 volt trigger (Item D, Fig 4): The built-in 5-12V trigger input allows your screen to synchronize its drop & rise with the projector’s power cycle. The screen deploys when the projector powers up and will retract when the projector powers down. The 5-12 volt RJ45 cable connects to your projector’s trigger output via a separate cable that may or may not be provided by the manufacturer of the projector. The trigger feature will not work without an output cable from the projector, but it can be tested by connecting the Red (+) and Green (-) cable to a 9-volt battery.
