8-1-1 Signal Input
There are two kinds of signal inputs, bit input and binary input.
The difference in a signal input is explained below.
(1) 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 topriority, 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 soundreduction signal line.
Refer to pg 14 “7-2. Sound Reduction Function”.
The order of input priority is from right to left:[Time Chart]

CH4 > CH3 > CH2 > CH1

operational mode with a half-widthalphabetic character. The range is fromA through H.
Refer to pg. 15 “8-1. Operation Modes”

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 soundreduction 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.

8-2-2MP3 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 setup.
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

Item

When to use it

Every MP3 data message is played
Individual MP3 data settings are madeWhen not to use it

A maximum of 16 selections can be
set up (It is combined freely and can Only one selection can be set up
playback in order)
The volume, interval and number of Setup is not possible
times repeated can be designated.

Refer to the following diagram and examples on how to create the MP3 data file003.mp3
Enter the message number in three digits from the range of 001 to 015
Example 1)003.mp3 -- MP3 data which can be assigned to message No.3
Example 2)013.mp3 -- MP3 data which can be assigned to message No.13* The file names can use both capital and small letters.

8-2-3File Arrangement

Refer to pg. 21 “8-2-1 Operating Mode Configuration File” and pg. 22 “8-2-2
MP3 Data”
Data rewriting preparation is completed by sorting and arranging files in the SD card.
Moreover, the operational mode configuration files and MP3 data files can be individually rewritten. In that case, pleasearrange only one file to rewrite among the following data.
When using either the application software with the file, or not using it, if in the case it is intermingled, the file using theapplication will take priority when read.
(1) When application software is used:

DATA

001.mp3

playlist.slp

MODE-00.txt* Please do not change the MP3 data file name when setting it up from the application software.
(2) When application software is not used:

Rewriting procedure for setting MP3 data and Operation Mode

(1) Place the product into its standby condition (having no playback or signal inputs).
(2) Insert the SD card with the rewritten and saved data into the SD card slot.
Refer to pg. 21 “8-2. SD Card Operation” for rewriting and saving the data.
(3) Rewriting will start when the SD card is inserted into the SD card slot.
- When rewriting starts, a short beep sound will be heard to indicate rewriting has started.  When a long beepsound is heard, it indicates the rewriting sequence is complete and the SD Card can be removed from the slot,
and when there is an error, the alarm will sound in combination with the contents of the error.
(Refer to pg. 25 “9. Error Table”)- The data rewriting procedure should take a maximum of 60 seconds.
- If the power is turned off, or the SD card is extracted during data rewriting, the rewriting procedure will not becompleted. In this case, please start over to rewrite again.
- When rewriting, all previous saved MP3 data will be erased.
(4) After the MP3 data rewrite sequence has been completed, check that the data has been rewritten properly.
- When MP3 data playback is not normal
Please create data after formatting the SD card for FAT16.
Please check whether any ID tags are attached. A tag may cause playback malfunctions.
Depending on the MP3 player, there is that the ID tag is added automatically.

PleaseThe optional SDV-2GP type should be used for the SD card.  The use of other SD Cards is not guaranteed by
PATLITE.
Format the SD card using the FAT16 protocol. The SD card cannot be recognized if it is formatted in any form
other than FAT16.

Note[Formatting the SD card]
Please open the “My Computer” file in the personal computer, right-click the drive containing the SD card, andchoose “format.” The type of format used should be either FAT or FAT16.
* Caution: The execution of a format will eliminate all the data in the SD Card.

When the slide switch is in the positionindicated in the drawing to the right, it is in
the protect condition. Move the swith in the
direction of the arrows to change from “Protect”
to “Release”

9. Error Table
When an error has occurred, an alarm will sound.  Refer to the following table for troubleshooting and its
solution.
- The type of alarm changes in conjunction with the type of error.
* The alarm sound is not audible if the volume is not at a nominal level.
* Even after the items below do not solve the problem, refer to the last page for assistance from yourPATLITE Sales Representative.
