Inputs
In order for the picoBoo to be able to read your trigger properly you must set the contact type. If your trigger is
normally-open then you can skip this step as it's the default setting. If it's normally-closed then you must program the
picoBoo accordingly. If you are unsure of your trigger's contact-type use the test below to find out.
Determining your Trigger's Contact-Type
Connect your trigger/sensor using the diagrams below. Power up the picoBoo, if it's a motion sensor wait a few
minutes for it to warm up. Trip your sensor/trigger as you watch the yellow input light on the picoBoo, if the yellow
light turns ON it's a N.O. contact, if it turns off it's N.C., if it does nothing there is a wiring problem.
Setting the input type to Normally Closed (N.C.) or Normally Open (N.O.)
1. Power down the picoBoo
2. Hold the "1" AND "2" buttons to set to N.C. or just "1" to set to N.O.
3. Power up the picoBoo while holding the button(s)
4. When the red light flashes twice you can let go of the buttons.
Terminal Block Outputs
The outputs are simple contact closures, which can be wired N.O. or N.C. The outputs do not supply voltage, if you
would like them to you must wire voltage into one of the terminals. If you plan to use 120 volts then it is your
responsibility to take the appropriate safety precautions with wiring. Each relay can handle 10 amps @ 125 volts.
Controlling Solenoids or Large Relays
Solenoids and Large Relays create a lot of interference, this can wreak havoc to nearby electronic devices. If you
notice the sound is stopping unexpectedly when controlling one of these devices this is most likely your problem. The
solution depends on whether you are using AC or DC solenoids.

AC Solenoids
A high voltage capacitor must be installed to absorb the feedback. The best place to install it is as close as possible
to the solenoid, if that's not possible then across the terminal block may work as well.
Radio Shack part numbers: 272-1053 or 272-1051
Common Contact Types
- Pressure Pad
- Push Button
NO
- Cheap Motion Sensor
- Alarm-quality PIR
NC
Motion Sensor
DC Solenoids
A diode must be installed across the solenoid. Note the orientation of the diode, using the line on the one side as a
guide. Locate the diode as close to the solenoid as possible. A standard 1N4001 – 1N4004 diode will work fine,
available for less than a dollar at your local Radio Shack.
Radio Shack part number: 276-1103 or 276-1102
Setting Write-Protect
Once the picoBoo is programmed to your liking you can write-protect it to make sure the "REC" button is not
accidentally pressed thus changing or deleting your program. The write-protect setting toggles on and off, change it
by powering down your picoBoo for a few seconds then powering it back up holding only the "2" button.
Troubleshooting
- "REC" light keeps flashing when powered up
- Motion sensor won't trigger scare
- Scare loops after about 2 minutes
- Can't record animation
- Sound cuts out sometimes
Problem
- The motion sensor is warming up, wait 2 minutes
- Input is set to normally-closed when it should be normally-open,
read "Inputs"
- Input is set to normally-open when it should be normally-closed,
read "Inputs"
- picoBoo is write-protected
- Audio source still connected to Line-In, remove it
- Put diodes/caps on your solenoids, read above
