PA system or a 600 ohm line. The VAE-80 is two Midian products, the PARTI-1 and the AE-1 combined to make a single product. The PARTI-1 interface is used to program the functionality of the VAE-80. The AE-1 module inside the VAE-80 will never need to be programmed. - Page 3 After entering the parameters, save the file by going to File - Save As. Enter the file name in the File Name block and click Save. Saving the file will allow for quick and easy reprogramming of units. Push the power button on the KL-4F and within 15 seconds select Program Unit or Read Unit in the software.
- Page 4 General Settings -> Radio Keyup Delay - The system will wait this amount of time after asserting the PTT output before transmitting a voice prompt or announcement over the radio. The amount of time needed will depend on the radio system. If CTCSS or DCS is being used, this delay should account for the time needed to decode such signals.
- Page 5 General Settings -> Telephone Number of Rings - Specifies the number of rings before the system answers a telephone call. If for example 2 rings are specified, the system will answer at the beginning of the 2nd ring. Answer Delay Time - After answering a telephone call, the system will wait this amount of time before playing the 'Enter Command' prompt (or Greeting Message).
- Page 6 General Settings -> Multicast Impolite Multicast - Enabling impolite multicast tells the system it is allowed to keyup even if the radio channel is busy. When it is time to broadcast an announcement and the radio channel is busy, the system will first wait for the Multicast Busy Lockout Delay time to expire.
- Page 7 As soon as transmission over radio can begin, the announcement will be broadcast over the PA and transmitted over the radio at exactly the same time. If the Multicast Sync Window Delay time expires, the announcement will be broadcast over the PA even if transmission over the radio cannot begin. In that case, transmission over radio may begin at a later time or not at all depending upon the Impolite Multicast and Multicast Busy Lockout Delay settings.
- Page 8 Outputs PTT 1 Out - Specify the polarity which will cause the radio connected to the system to keyup. For most radios this is Low. Announcement Settings Pre-recorded Message 1-8 - This is the message that will be broadcast for this announcement. To upload a pre- recorded message to the system, click on Select Wavefile and select the WAV file containing the message.
- Page 9 Select Wavefile - Select the .WAV file containing the pre-recorded message or voice prompt to be uploaded to the system. Click on Upload Voice Clips on the menu bar to initiate the upload. The file format must be Windows PCM, 8000 Hz, 8-bit mono. If the recording is not in this format, it must be converted to this format using a third-party software tool.
- Page 10 System Voice Prompts -> Custom Audio Greeting Message - This is the message that will be heard if either Radio Greeting or Telephone Greeting are enabled. To replace the default greeting with a custom greeting, click on Select Wavefile and select the WAV file containing the greeting.

Phrases: Enter Passcode, Enter Command. HARDWARE CONNECTION Be certain to follow standard anti-static procedures when handling any of Midian’s products. WALL POWER ADAPTER INPUT J1 Connect the optional wall power adapter to this input. This is not needed if powering the system from the radio power supply via J3. - Page 12 J3-7: PTT Output (Yellow): This output from the system provides a ground (logic-low) when the system needs to transmit over the radio. This output is an open-collector type which means that the output is an open circuit when not transmitting. Connect this to the PTT input of the base station radio. J3-8: Speaker –...
- Page 13 J7-9: Wiper (Orange): This may be connected to the all call input of the PA equipment if needed. It is the wiper of the form C relay that is energized when the system broadcasts over the PA. AE-1 to PART-1 main board connections: This is done at the factory and should not be touched or changed.

OPERATION USING J2 connection with 8 individual inputs The VAE-80 is a voice alarm encoder capable of playing back 8 different 20 second user pre-recorded messages over a radio channel. Each of these 8 messages is controlled by 8 individual logic low inputs (relay contacts) from an alarm panel. - Page 15 Recording a message for immediate broadcast (buffered mode): Keyup the radio, press the '*9', and then release PTT. The system will respond with: "speak". Press PTT and begin speaking. When done, release PTT. The system will respond with: "okay". You will be logged-off the system and the message will be broadcast over the PA system.
- Page 16 Logging off: If you have logged-in and then decide you do not wish to issue any commands to the system, press '#' to log off. The system will respond with "goodbye" and disconnect from the phone line. If you do not issue any commands within 10 seconds of logging in, the system will disconnect automatically.
- Page 17 Note: It is important to remember to press '#' when done speaking because that is the only way that the system will know you are done. If you hang-up without pressing '#' the system will continue recording until the maximum message length of 20 seconds is reached.
