The INT-VMG module allows loud playback of pre-recorded messages when certain events
occur. It can be used in conjunction with the INTEGRA control panels (as output expander),
and with any devices that are able to control the generator inputs. This manual applies to the
module with electronics version 2.1 and firmware version 1.00 (or later).

3. Functional description

The INT-VMG module connected to the control panel communication bus is recognized as an
output expander. Activation of an output assigned to the module results in the message
playback (the first output – message 0, the second output – message 1, etc.). The situation in
which a message is played back depends on how the output has been preprogrammed.
The message will also be played back after shorting the selected module input to ground.
This allows you to use any device for control. According to the factory settings, the inputs
trigger messages from 0 to 15 (the input 1 triggers the message 0, input 2 – message 1,
etc.). Messages having other numbers can be assigned to the inputs.
The module can queue up to 96 message playback commands.
