  • Page 20: Parametrisation

    Start "installer_V4.x.exe" and follow the instructions. • After installation, there will be a link to cgManager on the desktop and in the "Langmatz" sub- menu within the Start menu. This shortcut is used to start the parametrisation software after entering the password.
  • Page 21 Generally speaking, you will not need to install the driver or use the external Bluetooth USB stick if the PC already has a Bluetooth module installed. • To prevent connection issues, ensure that the PC and the Langmatz EK 533 plus are as close to each other as possible. •...
  • Page 22 "Preferences" and then "Interface" or double-click on the interface pane in the status bar. • In the open form, select the interface you want to use to connect to the EK 533 plus ("COM X" or "Bluetooth"). • Close the form by clicking the OK button. •...
  • Page 23 Click "Open" and the update will start. Fig. 31 Creating and editing sound sequences • To edit the sounds of an EK 533 plus, select "Edit" --> "Audio sequences" --> "online". • In the open "Audio Sequences (online)" form, you can create, edit, play and delete sounds (polyphonic sounds and wave files).
  • Page 24 "Audacity" is a recommended program for editing wave files: you can download it for free at http://www.audacityteam.org/. Note: Before wave files are transmitted to the EK 533 plus, they are filtered based on whether they are for release, flashing release or orientation. This is to protect the speakers. Filtering sometimes slightly reduces the tone quality of the sound emitted by the device compared with playing it on the PC.
  • Page 25 Once the configuration of a sound is complete for a certain signal type, it can be played back as a sample on the PC by clicking on the "Play" button. To transmit the finished sound to the Langmatz EK 533 plus, complete the process by clicking "Upload to EK 533 plus".
  • Page 26 There are up to eight default sounds for each of the two signals, each of which can be copied to the EK 533 plus by clicking on button "1a" to "4b" or "1" to "4"...
  • Page 27 Online parametrisation of the Langmatz EK 533 plus To parametrise a Langmatz EK 533 plus device using cgManager: • In the "Edit" menu, click on the "Device parameters" entry and then click "online". This reads out all EK 533 plus devices and displays them in the opened "Device parameters"...

  • Page 31 The following restrictions apply: • The minimum level can never be higher than the maximum level. • "Level max. (dB)" minus reduction "Level (dB)" can never be lower than "Level min. (dB)". Otherwise, this can result in invalid values with night-time reduction active. Level max.
  • Page 32 • "time controlled": The RTC controls the reduction. Notes • If the Langmatz EK 533 plus has no Fig. 47 built-in RTC, this option is not available. • Do not use the same optional input for the sound for night-time sound reduction and (de)activation (e.g.
  • Page 33 "Input". (In other words, "inactive" is not selected here.) Fig. 48 Time • Selecting the "time controlled" option in "Control" on an EK 533 plus with RTC allows you to define the period when the sound is to be reduced. Fig. 49 "(De)Activation" group Fig. 50 •...
  • Page 34 Orientation sound: "Activation" selected under "Mode", "Opt. 1" as an input and "high" under "Logic type". The orientation signal will then sound exactly when the red signal is on the EK 533 and optional input 1 is set to high.
  • Page 35 Time • Selecting the "time controlled" option in "Control" on a Langmatz EK 533 plus fitted with an RTC allows you to define the period when the sound is to be (de)activated. Fig. 54 Important note: The release signal must be activated and deactivated in compliance with DIN 32981.
  • Page 36 Networking Switching on the network allows you to connect EK 533 plus devices together as shown by the diagram. This activates optical feedback not only on the device on which the green signal is requested, but also on the device connected to it. It also sounds the release signal on all networked devices.
  • Page 37 Therefore, the release signal will sound exclusively when a request is made by pressing the vibrator push-button. Where this is concerned, the EK 533 plus automatically makes a new request during red when a request is made during green. Fig. 59 •...
  • Page 38 Signal prolongation • If the box is checked, the signal can be emitted from the corresponding output for as long as the respective button (PB/S or VPB) is pressed and held. In other words, this means for longer than is indicated under "PB/S (ms)" or "VPB (ms)" respectively. •...
  • Page 39 Mode Determines how optical feedback responds after a request: • "inactive": No optical feedback. • "Flashing 0.5 Hz - 5 Hz": Optical feedback takes place at the set flashing interval. Display example: "Wait for signal". • "Constant light": Optical feedback is a constant light.
