Message Programming & Operation:
All messages that are available for the Multi-Messager USB to play are stored on an industry standard USB flash
drive. Messages must be labeled correctly so they will automatically be placed into virtual message “slots” on the
unit. There are two different type of message slots:
1. Triggered Message Slots – These messages reside in slots 1 to 8 of the USB flash drive and are activated
instantly when the corresponding contact closure is activated.
2. Timed Message Slots – These messages reside in slots 9 – 99 of the USB flash drive and are activated by a
built-in timer circuit.
Messages are placed onto the USB flash drive using a standard computer and dragging and dropping new audio
from the computer to the USB flash drive.
Messages MUST be labeled in the following manner: “slot position_number”.mp3
For example, if you wanted a file named “sound_effect.mp3” put into slot eight, then it would need to renamed
as file “8.mp3”.
A typical list of messages on the USB flash drive would look like this:
1.mp3
2.mp3
8.mp3
10.mp3
36.mp3
The above list would allow messages 1.mp3, 2.mp3 & 8.mp3 to be triggered by the contact closures while 10.mp3
and 36.mp3 would be played on a time interval. The time interval would be set with the DIP switches on the
bottom of the unit.
If the USB drive ever needs to be erased completely, it can be formatted using your computer. Drives smaller than
512MB can be formatted using FAT, and drives 512MB or larger can use FAT32.
