Professional 12V trigger to IR blaster modules. Designed for AV installers and home theater enthusiasts.
Simple. Reliable. Bulletproof.
The TriggerLink Base is a plug-and-play 12V trigger to IR blaster that lets your modern AV processor control legacy IR-only equipment automatically. When your processor powers on and sends a 12V trigger signal, TriggerLink learns and fires the exact IR power-on command to your amplifier, receiver, or any IR-controlled device. No apps. No WiFi. No programming. Just connect and go.
Features
- 12V trigger input with optical isolation
- IR learn mode — learns any IR power command
- IR blaster output via 3.5mm jack
- Feedback sense input for power-state verification
- Three 3.5mm jacks total (trigger in, IR out, feedback in)
- Side-firing status LED — Kingbright WP710A10SRD, right-angle 3mm through panel
- Compact Hammond RL6175BK enclosure (92 × 38 × 31mm)
- No WiFi or app required
- Designed for AV installers

Full trigger automation. Two devices. Three zones. One button.
The TriggerLink Pro is a full-featured trigger automation controller that bridges two independent IR-controlled devices and up to three 12V-triggered amplifiers into a single automatic power sequence. When your source processor fires its 12V trigger, TriggerLink Pro walks through every connected device one at a time — waiting the configured per-device delay (2, 3, or 5 seconds — set via DIP switch) between each — so each amplifier and IR device powers on cleanly without overlapping inrush current. Three 12V trigger outputs fire in turn, followed by two independently-programmed IR commands to your legacy devices. Two feedback sense inputs — one per IR device — confirm each device actually powered on, with real-time blue Sense LEDs showing device status at a glance. On shutdown, the sequence runs in reverse so devices power down in the opposite order they came up.
Features
- 3× 12V trigger outputs, fired sequentially one device at a time
- 2× independently-programmed IR bug outputs — control two IR devices
- 2× feedback sense inputs (one per IR device) for power-state verification
- 8 front panel LEDs grouped by function (Power, Sense, Learn, Trigger) — vertical PCB LEDs with Bivar 8-element light-pipe strip for a clean, flush front face
- Configurable per-device delay via DIP switch: 2, 3, or 5 seconds between each device
- Reverse power-off sequence — devices shut down in opposite order
- Single Learn button cycles 4 EEPROM slots (Dev 1 ON/OFF, Dev 2 ON/OFF)
- Real-time auto-sensing — blue Sense LEDs mirror live device power state
- Supports NEC, Sony SIRC, RC5, RC6, Samsung, and Panasonic IR protocols
- EEPROM-stored IR codes survive power loss
- USB-C for firmware updates and debug
