1. Description VoiceMusic The VoiceMusic device was designed for simplicity of use. It is a high-tech product and is accompanied by unique features that make it stand out from competing products. The VoiceMusic device can play audio files, with mp3 encod- ing, for music, floor announcement, information messages (eg...

4. Description of connections and settings • 4.1 Power Supply The device is powered by a dc voltage of 5-35 Volts while it is protected from reverse polarity. In case of proper power supply, the corresponding green LED remains on continuously. The fol- lowing figure shows the power connections.
• 4.3 Audio Input The device can also play audio from an external source (eg radio). In this case it will need to be adjusted to reproduce the sound it receives from the audio input instead of the mp3 music files inside the SD card.
General The device also cooperates with the elevator control panels of SEMITRON that have four-wiring CAN BUS. In this case the de- vice receives the information for the floor announcement through the CAN BUS signals so no other connections to the el- evator control panel are required.
• 4.5 Volume Adjustment General The volume on the audio output is set by the two keys on the front of the device. This volume concerns the music files play, floor announcements and information. It DOES NOT concern the volume of the audio input. In order to adjust the volume of the audio input it should be done by properly adjusting the de- vice from which the sound is received (e.g.
• 4.7 Input of Announcement signals General The device can receive signals in its inputs with BCD, Decimal, Gray Code or CAN BUS encoding. The CAN BUS case has already been analyzed in section 4.4. In other cases the inputs are com- mon and the adjustment for the type is done using the corre- sponding switches on the front of the device.

4.7.1 BCD/GRAY CODE In case the device operates with BCD or GRAY CODE, up to 32 stops can be announced, while the inputs that must be con- nected are shown in the image below. 4.7.2 Decimal In case the device works with decimal encoding, up to 10 stops can be announced, while the inputs that must be connected are shown in the image below.

4.7.3 Announcement GONG If the user wishes, the device can be set to play the GONG sound instead of a floor announcement. In this case the only signal required is the Triger.
• 4.8 Other Functions General As shown in the previous pictures, the inputs of the device have more than one function. Each function will be described and an- alyzed. 4.8.1 6/Extra 1 This input can be used either to announce a stop when decimal encoding is used or to play the file named extra_1.mp3.
4.8.3 8/Night Mode This input can be used either to announce a stop when decimal encoding is used or to activate the Night Mode function. In Night Mode while the input remains on, the volume of the audio output drops to 50% of the defined volume for normal operation.
4.8.4 9/Mute Mode This input can be used either to announce a stop when decimal encoding is used or to activate the Mute Mode function. During Mute Mode and while the input remains off, the volume of the audio output is reset. Note: Mute Mode is also supported if the device uses the audio input (and not the SD card) Input 9/Mute Mode...
5. Insert sounds to SD card General The device supports any standard SD card with capacity up to 2 GB. In order to be able to play sounds, the following rules must be followed: 1. The SD card must have two folders named music and an- nounce.
