• These values were recorded under controlled conditions and are for reference only. Actual sound pressure will depend on the surrounding environment.

Signal Input

• There are two kinds of signal inputs, bit input and binary input. The difference in a signal input is explained below.

Bit Input

• The short-circuiting of the signal lines CH1 through CH4 to the common line will playback MP3 data.
• Signal lines CH1 to CH4 corresponds to message Numbers 1 to 4, respectively.
• A maximum of 4 message channels can be played back. (When the sound reduction function is active, a maximum of 3 message channels can be played back)
• When two or more inputs are simultaneously entered, the input is chosen in accordance to priority, in which the higher number is of higher priority.
• In the memory playback mode, the memory saves the input based on the priority of the higher number.
• When the sound reduction function is activated, the CH4 signal line turns into the sound reduction signal line.
• Refer to pg 14 “7-2. Sound Reduction Function”.

The order of input priority is from right to left: CH4 > CH3 > CH2 > CH1

Refer to the corresponding playback mode for a detailed explanation of the time chart.

Binary Input

• The short-circuiting of the signal lines CH1 through CH4 to the common line will playback MP3 data.
• About the relation between message No. to reproduce and CH signal line input, refer to pg. 25 “10. Binary Input Table”
• A maximum of 15 message channels can be played back. (When the sound reduction function is active, a maximum of 7 message channels can be played back)
• When the sound reduction function is activated, the CH4 signal line turns into the sound reduction signal line.
• Refer to pg. 14 “7-2. Sound Reduction Function”
• Refer to the corresponding playback mode for a detailed explanation of the time chart.

Playback Mode

• The operation for reproducing MP3 data with this product can be chosen from four playback modes of “Normal Playback”, “Input Priority Playback”, “Hold Playback”, and “Memory Playback”.
• Normal Playback Mode MP3 data is reproduced in correspondence to an input. When an input is a one shot, the corresponding message number is reproduced once, and playback is repeated when the input is maintained.
• Any channel input is ignored during MP3 data playback.
• Input Priority Playback Mode
• During an MP3 message playback, the message will stop when a different channel input is entered and the message will continue after the previous channel’s message has ended.
• Even if an input is held, playback is only played once.

Hold Playback Mode

• The message will only play back while the input is held on. Playback will stop once the input is removed.
• While the input is held on, the message playback will be repeated.
• The higher channel input takes the highest priority.
• Playback was stopped and the wavy line means the message No. corresponding to the input channel was played.

Memory Playback Mode

• During playback, when a channel input is entered, the message number corresponding to the input is put into memory. When the previous message playback is terminated, the message number entered afterward into the memory will be played next. After two channel inputs, any other input is ignored until the memory space is available.
• While the input is held on, the message playback will only be played once.

SD Card Operation

• SD cards can be used and the MP3 data and the memory inside the main unit can be used to control the operation modes.
• The following is necessary for rewriting MP3 data.

• When using the PATLITE Playlist Editor, even when the text file is registered, sometimes the MP3 file is not
• registered, therefore will not playback.
  • (Refer to the PATLITE Playlist Editor Help Menu in the software)

Operating Mode Configuration File

• The file for choosing the operational mode can be created and it can be changed into arbitrary operational modes just by rewriting.
• Please refer back to pg. 15 “8-1. Operation Modes”
• The operating mode configuration file can be created by using the file name of a text file as indicated below

Example 1)

• MODE-C.txt — Configuration file is set for the bit input hold playback mode (sound reduction function is deactivated)

Example 2)

• MODE-H05.txt — Configuration file is set for the binary input memory playback mode (sound reduction function is activated for a -5 dB reduction)
• Since the sound pressure changes with the surrounding environment, there is no guarantee the change in the sound reduction value will make any noticeable difference.
• The file names can use both capital and small letters.
• The contents of text file is Unnecessary because text file for setting is used the File Name only.

MP3 Data

• There are two ways to rewrite MP3 data. Please refer to the following considerations when selecting the creation method for data.

1. When using the application software
   • Uses the application software to create a playlist file, then creates a playlist file to run with the MP3 data.
2. When not using the application software

• A file can be created out of the MP3 data without the application software. A maximum of 15 selections can be set up.
• Please refer to the following table for the difference between the two methods when considering whether the application software will be used.
• Table1 Comparison Chart for the PATLITE Playlist Editor vs. MP3 Data application
