This  latest  generation  of  the  LB  family  incorporates  the  latest  MP3  technology  to 
store and replay recorded voice messages, music or tones for security/safety, retail, 
museum/leisure and advertising applications.

Files  are  stored  on  an  internal  USB 
memory  stick  with  an  8  hour  memory 
capacity allowing material to be changed 
or replaced easily.

The  5  channels  can  be  individually 
accessed  or  activated  by  voltage-free 
NO  or  NC  contacts,  buttons,  switches, 
PIR  devices,  or  via  the  TU-16A  Timer.  A 
pulsed  activation  will  allow  just  one  loop 
of  the  required  recording;  however,  if  the 
activation  contact  remains,  the  recording 
will play continually until disengaged.
