Message sequences are

number of plays and

Standard Operation: A momentary contact closure at a start
input causes the device to play one sequence of the message
corresponding to that input. A sequence is specified by the
number of message plays and the amount of delay between
each message, as selected by the dip switches. If a contact is
maintained active, the system will continuously play that
sequence repeatedly until the input is released at which time the
system will finish the current playback sequence and then stop.
If multiple inputs are held active the system will play one
sequence of the first message and then cycle through any other
active messages sequentially, based on the order which they
were activated. The message corresponding to the lower input
number will have priority should multiple inputs be activated at
exactly the same time.
If a momentary contact closure is provided, for the same or any
other message, while a sequence is playing and it is released
prior to the ending of the current message play, it will be
ignored.
Play one sequence per closure: If an activation input is
maintained, the system will only play the message sequence
one time. The MacFi-mp will wait for the input to go inactive for
100ms before it will recognize that input for subsequent
message activations. Other play activations will be serviced
normally, even with another input held active indefinitely.
This mode supports message queuing. Message queuing allows
the user to input multiple, momentary activation’s to the MacFi-
mp, causing each of the messages to be played in the order
they were received. The queue length is 16 sequences
maximum, including the message which is playing. A single
