The above diagram shows connections of 3 output channels of PT1800 connected to 3 individual triggering ports of MR1300. It is intended to perform 3 different times to playback 3 different messages. Activation of each message is via negative grounding. Output from MR1300 can be unbalanced using RCA jack, or balanced signal using XLR jack. Both outputs are in mono mode, with line level signal. NOTE : Activation of a stored message shall can be either momentarily or pulse contact to ground. To activate from PT1800 timer, we recommend that the contact option at the channel output to be set to Pulse. www.ampereselectronics.com page 5 Connecting the Unit Option B : Using MR1300 for Emergency Announcement MR1300 can be used as essential message source to PA system, linked to external activation device such as BAS system, emergency push button, etc. MR 1300 See Note Below Switch or sensor for message activation Gnd MR1300 MESSAGE RECORDER / PLAYER DC 24V + 2C cable Bal.audio out MX2222 Another Quality Product From DC INPUT 24V DC CASS TUNER AUX CD BGM CHIME MIXER MIN MAINS : 230V +/-10% AC 50 / 60HZ MX2222 MIXER EXT IN OUTPUT REC LINE OUT MAX CH.1 / 2 / EXT.IN PRIORITY MUTE CH6 CH5 CH4 CH3 CH2 CH1 Bal.audio out Another Quality Product From EP1200 S/N : MESSAGE IN REMOTE TRIGGER MESSAGE SIREN PRE IN PRE OUT INPUT LEVEL MESSAGE MIN SIREN MAX MIN EP1200 EMERGENCY PAGING PANEL MAX 2C cable Audio output to power amplifier COM COM COM 100V COM 100V COM 100V COM AMP11 ZON11 AMP12 ZON12 100V AMP10 ZON10 100V COM COM ZON9 100V COM AMP 9 100V COM ZON8 100V AMP 8 100V COM COM ZON7 100V AMP 7 100V REMOTE SELECT 100V ZON6 COM COM COM AMP 6 100V ZON5 100V COM COM AMP 5 100V COM ZON4 100V AMP 4 100V COM ZON3 COM AMP 3 100V COM ZON2 100V AMP 2 100V COM ZON1 COM AMP 1 100V REMOTE SELECT COM RLY ZS CON PR 100V RLY TRIG 100V + 100V ZS 5121 DC 24V ZS5121 ZONE SELECTOR Amplifiers input and output connections Zone selector triggering connectors to TD zone decoder 24V relay contact to volume controllers for overriding The dry contact at the MR1300 is used to trigger EP1200, thus overriding the normal audio source for priority paging. It is then also connected to the Emergency Relay trigger at the Zone Selector, providing a dry contact for connecting 24V DC to override external volume controllers NOTE : By default, the mode of activation is momentarily. For this configuration, set it to momentarily, and the dry contact shall be closed for the duration of the playback. This shall perform bypass of mixer audio output at EP1200 until the message is stopped. Triggering Pre Recorded Message via UART ( RS485 ) MR1300 allows remote message activation via RS485 throught the port available at the rear panel. This use this feature, please enquire from us for further technical details. Upgrading of firmware is also made possible via the RS232 port. Any new firmware updates notification shall be posted from time to time. page 6 MR1300 MESSAGE RECORDER / PLAYER Connecting the Unit Option C : Using BAS to control MR1300 In cases where Building Control System or BAS to be the domain controller including emergency voice annoucement, it can be used to activate particular pre-recorded messages at MR1300. The BAS would provide a close dry contact, which would activate mixer audio bypass at EP1200, as well as triggering a message at MR1300.

Example, a fire sensor is activated and the BAS pick up the distress signal, it then provides a close contact, which is then required to mute normal BGM through EP1200. In the same time, activate a warning message via MR1300. The message shall be repeated until inspection is done and distress status is removed. www.ampereselectronics.com page 7 Setup Menu Few simple setting should be done to the unit before operating.

Direct voice recording microphone / line input from music player and 2. Saving a voice file directly into SD card and rename it accordingly. Option A : Direct voice recording MR 1300 CD 1001 I O RCA jack 1/4” stereo phone jack Dynamic microphone Recording using dynamic microphone through front panel phone jack. Line output audio source : CD / PC Output / MP3 Recording using external line audio source with RCA jack at rear of the unit To perform this option of recording, 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Select the approriate type of audio source ; either using dynamic microphone or line audio source Select Menu 3.0 Record and select the sub menu 3.1 ( Also see the section of Setup the Unit - Menu ) Press to Start recording and talk through the microphone or start the music source Press Enter to stop the recording In the next sub menu, select the Message number. Exit the sub menu. The direct recording of voice shall be saved into the SD card through PCM coding. The quality is best for voice and it is suitable for music. To obtain a high quality music playback, we recommend using the Option B of saving file method, which is explained in the next section. www.ampereselectronics.com page 11 Saving Files Directly Into SD Card MR1300 allows various format of files for playback, such as MP3, WMA and etc. Saving a high quality of audio format, such as MP3 would produce better sound output,especially for music files. As currently MR1300 only peform PCM coding for direct recording, we recommend that music file to be directly stored into the SD card, in order to obtain a reasonable quality of audio output. A few simple steps to save files into SD Card : 1. Insert a SD card provided into Card Reader which is connected to your PC via USB port. 2. From source window, drag the audio file to destination window with SD card. Repeat for other files Slot for SD Card at the rear of the unit 3. Rename the transferred files to enable it to be recognised by the Message Recorder. Note : MR1300 only recognise the first 3 digits of the file name, such as M01, M02 and so forth. Other extensions can be used as reference. Thereby any file name must be renamed according to the message location. page 12 MR1300 MESSAGE RECORDER / PLAYER Message Playback Stored voice file can be played by using the front direct switches ( Message 1 to 8 ) or via the remote triggering ports ( Message 1 to 16 ). MSG 2 Front switch activation 2 1 To start a playback via the front panel switches, 1. Select the Message Number ( MSG01 to MSG08 ) 2. Press the button and the selected will play, with LCD indicates the time running and LED blinking. To stop playback, press the Stop button. The rear and front activation for MSG01 to MSG08 are paralled. Currently there are no priority of which message is activated, with first come first go basis. BAS TIMER E/M GND Rear port activations Activation via rear port can be from any external device or system providing a voltage free contact. To activate a message, the relevant port shall be grounded and the type of activation can be either pulse contact or latch. For pulse contact ( momentarily ), a close circuit will activate the message, and while the message is being played, another incoming pulse shall deactivate the announcement. In cases where a latched contact is provided, the message will be played for as long as the closed contact remained as such. www.ampereselectronics.com page 13 Communication Ports The communication ports available are RS232 and RS485. RS232 is used for communication with PC for bootloading / firmware upgrades while RS485 shall be used to communicate with other devices within the system. Further information on this section shall be available soon. page 14 MR1300 MESSAGE RECORDER / PLAYER Summary of Features 2 GB SD card ( Supplied ) 8 front direct message playback buttons and 16 remote triggering MP3 quality of playback with balanced audio output ( with MP3 recorded files ) Recording via dynamic microphone or line audio input Message assignment to front key or remote triggering port Playback controls mode ie.
