Custom Installation 

 

 

The “12 Volt Remote Trigger” can turn the MOON W5.3 Stereo Power Amplifier on or off by a hard wired remote connected 
to its input.  When correctly installed, the system allows the use of both the trigger and the push button to turn the W5.3 on 
or off.   
 
Please note that the main rocker power

 

switch must be left on at all times to allow for the use of the 12 Volt trigger.   

 
When the W5.3

 is powered off, it can be powered on by either the trigger or the push button.  When the W5.3

 is powered 

on, it can be powered off by the trigger. It can also be powered off by the push button, but only if the trigger isn’t in «on» 
mode. 

 

 

 

The 12 Volt Trigger input is on a 3.5 mm microphone jack (mono) loacted on the back panel of the MOON W5.3.  With 
simple direct logic applied, 0V turns the unit off, and 12V turns the unit on. Input impedance is 1000 ohms and the current 
required will be approximately 12 mA.  
 
Remember, the main rocker power switch must be left in the “on” position at all times to make use of the trigger possible. 
 
 
Recommendations 

 

If you are a professional custom installer, please take the time to carefully read this manual prior to starting any installations 
involving the MOON W5.3 Stereo Power Amplifier. Pay particular attention to the “Installation Tips”

 

section on page 7. If 

you intend to mount the W5.3 in an in-wall cabinet or other closed environment, remember that you have to ventilate the 
amplifier properly to prevent overheating.
