    Marilyn Systems will however cover reasonable return shipping charges for products repaired or replaced under the conditions of this warranty. All products manufactured by others and sold as such by Marilyn Systems shall be governed by the terms of said manufacturer’s warranty.
  • Page 6: Device Overview

    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.
  • Page 7: Device Layout

    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.

  • Page 15: File Names

    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.
  • Page 16: Configuration File

    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.
  • Page 17: [Startup] 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).

  • Page 19: [Serial] Section

    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.
  • Page 20: [Input] Section

    Defines how the device will respond to the optically-isolated inputs. Inputs section parameters: Mode – Sets the general operating mode of the inputs.
