MULTIPLE DIGITAL MESSAGING UNIT

V-5325100

INTRODUCTION

The Multiple Digital Messa ging Unit (MDMU) is a microp rocessor
based digital voice announcement system. It outputs
prerecorded messages through a public addre ss system. Up to
99 messages can be placed in the units digit al memory for
queued replay. Up to eight messages can be programmed to
play in sequence with timed delays.

The MDMU can store up to 3 minutes and 1 5 seco nds of messag es. Voice and audio messages can be
stored into memory through dial-up telephone, microphone interface, or tape input.
(The MDMU is programmed by dial-up telephone DTMF tones.)

This guide gives installation, recording, and programming steps. Sin ce messages are digitally stored,
and there are no moving parts, the MDMU should give years of uni nterrupted service.

Total time available in memory for recording.

IDLE

Indicates the status MDMU:

Idle = no activity

PLY = a message is being played out through connector J1

Delay = the time delay between successive messages is active

OFF

5 947193

2. Push the Battery slide switch to the ON position.
The MDMU is now ready to record and play messages.

NOTE: The internal battery maintains the recorded messages two hours in the event of a power failure
or brownout. Allow 48 hours to fully charge. If power is to be removed from the MDMU for an extended
period of time, turn the battery switch to the OFF position to avoid permanent damage to the battery.

NOTE: The suggested re liable lif etime of the rechar geable batter y used in the equi pment is 36 months .
To ensure the system has reliable battery backup, it is recommended the battery be replaced every 30
months.

FRONT PANEL OPERATION

The MDMU can record messages input from the front panel through the hand set, tape and mic
connectors. The unit can also record and store messages input remotely through telephone access to
the REM port using a DTMF (touch tone) telephone.

While recording messages through the telephone access method, dial ing the paging controller zone
(before speaking) enables the pl ayback of this message to be routed to a Controller Zone or Zone Group
when replayed. You must, however, program the Contr oller Zone Microphone feature to be ON to
accept DTMF tones to route the message.
