A solid-state relay output provides devices status. Out of the box, the DAR-01 can be surface or edge mounted. An optional DIN-rail mount kit is available for standardized integration into industrial panels. A card-guard kit is also available to prevent card removal.
All sound files and configuration information are stored a SD or SDHC flash memory card. The card is inserted by gently pushing it into the socket, with the contacts down and towards the DAR-01, until a “click” is heard. To remove the card, push it in slightly until a “click” is heard. The card is now unlocked and will be ejected from the socket.
SERIAL Connector RS-232 port brought out on an EIA-561 compatible RJ-45 jack. See configuration file section for serial port operating parameters. Terminal Function Signal Ground DAR-01 Rx DAR-01 Tx Reserved Pin-out (cable-end, connector front) Table 4 2015, Marilyn Systems, llc.
Channel A (left) positive terminal Channel B (right) negative terminal Channel B (right) positive terminal Table 5 If you are upgrading from a rev. b or rev. c DAR-01, please notice that the amplifier output pin-outs have changed. 24VDC IN Connector The DAR-01 can operate on a little as 12VDC however for optimal amplifier performance, 24VDC should be provided.

Is not. Filename.Ext Audio files on the DAR-01 must be named in a very specific format so that the unit can find and access them. The first 5 characters of the filename are always ‘SOUND’ followed by a 3-digit decimal number representing the track number.
This file must be named CONFIG.TXT so that the player can find it on startup. The configuration file for the DAR-01 is based on the standard INI file format. Each operating parameter of the DAR-01 consists of a name and value separated by an equal sign (=). name = value Parameters are grouped by section.
[Startup] section The Startup section defines the behavior of the DAR-01 immediately after power-up or card insertion. Startup section parameters: Action - Describes what the player should do when powered up. Value Function DoNothing Take no action (Default) Play Play the specified track(s).
; In this example, we disable the amplifier. Note that this is not ; necessary as parameters assigned to their default values do not ; need to be specified in the configuration file. [Audio] AmpEnabled=No AmpBoost= No 2015, Marilyn Systems, llc.
SerialAddress- Defines the serial communications address this device will respond to. This number must be in the range of 1 to 254 and if not defined, the DAR-01 will respond to all serial messages. This parameter will be ignored if the serial port is disabled. Note that this not currently used but left in for compatibility with previous models.
Defines how the device will respond to the optically-isolated inputs. Inputs section parameters: Mode – Sets the general operating mode of the inputs. Value Function Individual The function of each input can be independently defined (default) Table 12 ; Inputs operate individually [Inputs] Mode=Individual 2015, Marilyn Systems, llc.
10mS increments (10= 1second). If zero (default value), then no fade will occur. Fading is disabled by default if volume is undefined. Fading is still active regardless of the defined action. Maximum value is 255 (25.5 seconds). 2015, Marilyn Systems, llc.

Do not rename the file or change any file attributes. 2. With the DAR-01 powered off, insert the memory card. 3. Power the DAR-01. Both LEDs will begin to flash. Be patient as the upgrade process can take up to a minute.
