Memory card:
Select a quality SD card. Insert the card into its slot to the stopper without forcing it. To
remove it, press gently on the card.
USB To Host connector:
To this port you can connect a USB device, stick, hard disk...
Note: If a SD card and a USB stick are both connected, the SD card will be given priority and the USB stick
will not be used.
Generally, new SD cards or USB sticks are formatted in "FAT" or "FAT32".
If you must format a card or a stick, select the FAT or FAT32 format depending on memory size. (FAT32
above 512Mb)
Other types of formatting do not work.
The new hard disks are not formatted. You must create a partition and format the disk before any usage.
Select FAT32 format. Other types of formatting do not work.
Some utility programs are available
to carry out this operation from your computer (including some freeware).
To this port, it is also possible to connect a standard computer keyboard to use it like a remote control to
open files or trigger some actions. See related chapter.
Power supply unit:
We recommend to use the PSU supplied with the player. If you want to power your
player from another power supply unit or from a battery, it must be in 12V DC although the player can
operate between 10V & 15V. The power consumed depends on the power level of the amplifier.
Connect the power supply to either one of the sockets convenient to you. The second socket is
connected in parallel enabling powering of another device.
USB port:
When you connect a USB cable between the EventPlayer and a computer, the player goes to
USB mode. Then, the computer loads up the standard "Mass Storage" driver to display content of the
memory card. You can then use a file manager such as Windows Explorer to copy, move, rename &
delete files.
Volume control:
Turn the DATA button to change the volume. It is also possible to configure the two
buttons "1" and "2" to control the volume. See the chapter "menu & configuration". In this case, press the
buttons 1 (volume -) and 2 () to change the volume.
Caution! The volume can also be changed through the serial link, Ethernet & the file name.
RS232 Serial link:
The EventPlayer can be operated through a PLC, a computer or a remote control
using the serial link. The player receives information on its Rx input and sends information on the Tx
output. A specific protocol is provided in this manual.
Dry contact inputs:
you can connect push buttons, presence, light and smoke detectors, heat sensors,
pressure probes… to the relays to trigger the player if a specific event occurs. See the usage description
in this manual. Briefly make contact between one of the 8 inputs marked from 1 to 8 and the ground G. You
can also combine the 8 inputs to obtain up to 255 possibilities. In this case, it is recommended to use a
diodes or external control electronics. For more details, see annex.
Outputs on optocoupler:
Connect relays, LED, an electronic controller, PLC, wireless remote contact…
in order to operate these elements through the player. See the description for usage in this manual.
