Specifications

UP NORMAL Record mode enabled. See Section 4.2.2 for details.

DN PRIORITY Record mode enabled. See Section 4.2.3 for details.

RELAY MODE: Switch #4 selects the operation of the PLAY RELAY, as follows:

UP PLAY relay stays CLOSED while message is playing.

DN PLAY relay generates 500ms "EOM" pulse when message stops playing.

PLAY MODE: Switches #5 and #6 select the playback mode of "message sequences". A "message sequence"

equals the message audio times the number of plays as selected by CONFIG Switches #1 & #2. #5

UP UP Standard operation See text below for details.

UP DN Play one sequence per closure See text below for details.

DN UP Play while active See text below for details.

DN DN Re-trigger See text below for details.

Standard operation: A momentary contact closure causes the system to play one sequence of the message

selected. If the contact closure is maintained, the system will continuously play that sequence 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 (maintained closures) the system will play one sequence of the first message, then

cycle through the other messages sequentially, based on the order in which they were activated. This is known as

"message stacking". (Lower message #s will have priority should multiple inputs be activated at exactly the same

time.) Momentary closures will be ignored while any message is playing via a maintained closure.

Play one sequence per closure: If a message input is maintained, the system will only play the message sequence

one time. The system will wait for the input to go inactive for 100ms before it will recognize that input for another

trigger. Other play activations will be serviced normally, even with another input held active indefinitely.

This mode supports "message cueuing". Message cueuing allows the user to input multiple momentary activations

to DigiStor II, causing each message to play in the order it was triggered. The queue length is a maximum of 16

messages. A single message can be queued to play more than once. A STOP command will stop the message

that is currently playing, and when released, the next message in the queue will begin playing. If multiple inputs are

held active (maintained closures), the system will play each message sequence once then stop.

Play while active: Upon receiving a maintained input signal, the message will continue to play for the duration the

input is held active. If the input signal is removed prior to the end of the message sequence, the system will

immediately abort the playback sequence. If the input is sustained after the current playing sequence has

completed, another sequence will begin. If multiple inputs are maintained active, the system will only play the

active message and then repeat. (This mode does not support message queuing.)

Re-trigger: This mode allows playing messages to be interrupted by another incoming message, or another

triggering of the same message. If a message is currently playing and another message trigger is received, the

currently playing message will be terminated and the new message will begin playback. A maintained input will

only play the sequence one time and then stop. If multiple inputs are activated at the same time, only the lower

numbered message will play. (This mode does not support message queuing.)

PLAY NEXT: Switch #7 enables the Play Next sequential playback mode. If Play Next is ENABLED, only the

Message #8 input is active. Successive momentary closures will play active messages in sequence, from lowest to

highest, then repeat. (This mode can be used with the tele-coupler module for automatic 'rotation' of messages.)

UP Play Next mode is disabled.

DN Play Next mode is ENABLED.

NOTE: CONFIG switches will NOT affect operation when messages are played using the local START/STOP

button. CONFIG switches affect play mode only when message playback is triggered via the Remote connector

(P1).

MEMORY PROTECT: Switch #8 allows the user to "lock out" the record mode so that messages cannot be

recorded, erased, or changed.
