5. Playing - Remote Contact
Remote Control playback is achieved through the remote control connections located on the endplate of the
M2 unit. Please reference Section 2.2 of this manual for additional information on available connections.
Playback of message will include selected repeat and delay parameters.
Step 1 - Verify the installed PCMCIA FLASH memory card has all the M2 configuration files as
well as 1.MPG.
Step 2 - Make all desired power, audio out, configuration switch and I/O connections to the unit
and power up. Unit will initiate self test and default to play mode.
Step 3 - Provide a momentary signal between Remote Control Start 1 input and the Common
input. M2 should play message 1.MPG. Message LED will remain ON during playback.
Step 4 - Provide a momentary signal to the Remote Control Stop and the Common input to stop
playback and return to idle mode
- or -
allow message to play to end at which point,
system will return to idle mode.
This process is valid for any Start input which has a corresponding .MPG file on the memory card. M2 will
ignore an input which does not have a corresponding .MPG file. Play relay contact will be active for the
duration of play sequence. When playing multiple messages through queued messages or via maintained
start activations, the system will drop the play relay for approximately 100mS between sequences.
