    The BLUE wire and the GREEN wire

    I was asking myself the exact same question.
    Ok just completed my test on the scope.

    The GREEN wire is +5V triggered when an alert begins and it stays +5V until the alert completes. (ie this is *NOT* directly related to the firing of the laser diode)
    The BLUE wire is GROUND triggered and will ground when the alert begins and will stay grounded until the alert completes.

    So is the green wire the relay and the blue the mute? They both turn "on" and "off" at the same time?

    A nice-to-have would be an output that activates based on actual jamming instead of the duration of the alert. Maybe a setting in a future firmware update.

    Does the LED indicate when jamming starts and stops? Like on the LI, where the LED flashes during jamming and steady when not, even when the audio alert is still playing.

    Inquiring minds of jammer auto-kill developers want to know.

    The LED starts and stops like you want IF you have it in PRO mode.

    We will have to ask about that in a future update.

    '' The BLUE wire is GROUND triggered and will ground when the alert begins and will stay grounded until the alert completes. ''
    Question :

    During an attack , if one of the button is pressed (thus returning to park status) does the ground
    is cut off ? This a small detail i cannot test at the moment .
    I plan to use this wire for a brake light kill relay.

    I know that on the Li , the ground stays triggered even when the switch is set to detect only.

    Thanks.

    The ground stays triggered as long as it is receiving a signal and then stops approximately 5 seconds after the head has received it's last pulse. (ie I stopped the gun and 5 seconds later it goes back to non-grounded / 0v depending on which wire you are using)

    Do the wires trigger when the parking mode senses an object also or only when in the defense mode (jamming)?

    I thought there was a setting to enable/disable either the relay or mute output when jamming, but looking on the update site I didn't see any setting to that effect. Maybe I'm imagining things?

    Nice to know about the LED in Pro mode. I assume the auxiliary LED does this as well as the one in the control unit?

    That sounds like the way to interface an ALP my auto-kill. I already have an LI compatible LED sense input, and a mute sense input. By using both, it can determine when jamming starts and stops, without falsely triggering due to parking mode signals, etc.

    ^ First of all... you're imaging things... seriously though yes the LED works the same as the control unit. It's for a stealth install when you don't want the control module visible.

    Updates : triggering a relay under an alert with the Green\Blue wires .

    Got an email from the support ALP :

    '' sorry, relays are not yet supported. We constantly work on new updates and functionality extensions, as you probably are aware of. Stay tuned for our newsletters, latest news are usually updated monthly.

    Have a great day!
    Your ALPriority Support team ''.

    I tested with amperemeter : green\blue pushed 45milliwatts.
    The smallest relay i tested , 3.5 volts coil , cannot be triggered ,
    it draws 50 milliwatts.

    I ordered a SSR solid state relay , 3 to 32 volts coil , i will test and report ,
    it could work since it is supposed to use very little amperage.

    Under alert , the polarity of green\blue is reversed , it is different from the Li which connects to ground
    under alert \black wire\ .

    Update :

    i recieved the SSR , solid state relay , rated to trigger from 3 to 32 volts .

    Verdict : not enough juice to trigger.

    One thing i realise with those SSR : with proper voltage it triggers only AC apparatus !
