2.0 SETUP GUIDE

2.1 INITIAL SETUP

For the unit to function correctly, the supplied SD card must be installed and have MP3 files in each of the associated folders
as shown in Fig 2.1.
NOTE: The unit will display an MP3 error message on the screen if any of the folders on the SD card are left empty. I.e. the
Alert, Bell, Evac, Music, Prebell and Voice folders must all have an MP3 file inside.
The SD card should have the following folders already installed "Alert, Bell, Evac, Music, Prebell and Voice". If these folders
don't exist they will have to be created.
Inside each of these folders there will be a sample MP3 audio file. The alert and evac MP3 files meet the Australian standard
for evacuation tones. A library of sample MP3 files is supplied (in the #LIBRARY# folder).
NOTE: All folders except the "Prebell" and "Music" folders must have only one MP3 file installed. The "Prebell" and "Music"
folders can have unlimited MP3 files (depending on available storage) and will then randomly play the MP3 files in the folder
each time the corresponding prebell or music contact is triggered.
In order to put MP3 files onto the card, or move the sample MP3's to their relevant folders, the SD card will need to be con-
nected to a PC. You will need a PC or laptop equipped with an SD card reader to do this. If an SD slot is not available then
the Altronics D 0371A USB Memory Card Reader or similar would be suitable (not supplied).
You will first need to remove power from the A 4500A and then remove the SD card from the front of the unit.
To remove the SD card push the card in and it will eject itself.
Step by step guide to put an MP3 into it's associated folder with a Windows installed PC.
Step 1: Make sure the PC is on and card reader connected and correctly installed. Then insert the SD card into the reader.
Step 2: Go to "My Computer" or "This PC"
and open the SD card which is usually
marked "Removable disk".
In this case it is named "Removable disk (F:)".
Select the removable disk and then you should
get a window that looks like figure 2.1.
