jimswinder Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I have 3 CTB16 Input Connectors connected to 3 PC boards...and NO triggers (Buttons) actually connected to them yet...but when I Enable my shows, my Status window keeps saying that a Start-up Trigger Detected, and it actually starts playing the show associated with one of the triggers...even though the button had not been pushed and is not even connected to the Input Connector! I have used these in years past with no issues... Running 3.10.14 Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Slade Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Check which input number you are using. I had mine set on #1 and it was doing the same thing. Its now set to #2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimswinder Posted November 30, 2013 Author Share Posted November 30, 2013 No Edit button?!?!? Oh..and the status window displays the Startup trigger detected every five seconds...like a button IS being pushed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimswinder Posted November 30, 2013 Author Share Posted November 30, 2013 Thanks Slade...that appears to be it... Even though I KNEW Input 1 did not work (only 2 and 3), for some reason I thought it still recognized pin 2 as input 1... I HATE not being able to remember year to year how these things work!!!! Hmmm..maybe write it down Jim!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Slade Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 No Problem! I said the same thing! - This all worked last year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHolmes Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Hello. So I am having a funky issue where my input header, on a 1602W, is constantly telling me its active.I have my header on unit 2 and it shows all three inputs as active. PLUS on my other three units, it shows input 3 as active (even though I have no headers there). Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimswinder Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 16 out of my 19 controllers have no headers and all of those show that they have triggers...i was going to report it as a possible bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Remember that inputs can be active high or active low. If set for one of those (active high I think), it will show a trigger with nothing connected. Normal condition. If someone wants the technical answer, I can give it....

JHolmes Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 You mean normally closed or normally open?How do I successfully test my trigger then ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Yes, normally open or normally closed. You can read and set trigger types in the hardware utility. I don't have it in front of me here at work, but it's easy to do in the HU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHolmes Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Got it Now for my next problem Im trying to wire a doorbell to trigger my show but I can't get it to work at all!How hard can it be? It's two wires! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Fischer Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 No Edit button?!?!?No, no edit button. It annoys me to know end, as I frequently type up a reply then want to add one more tidbit, or fix a typo. But apparently the moderators and a vocal minority of users like it that way because it "makes people think before they post". Apparently.One of the reasons I stuck to FB groups much of the year rather than any forum... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
