• LB-5A Looping and One-shot operation:

The LB-5A supports ‘looping’ (i.e. an audio file will be played continuously) as long 
as the contact closure triggering the playing is maintained across its corresponding 
terminals. When the contact closure is removed the file will be played to the end and 
then stop as normal.

Please note:

• This facility is only available within banks 1 and 2 (messages and tones)
• Any files of lower priority will be unavailable during this looping operation
• The looping file will be overridden by the playing of a file of higher priority

Bank 3 (chimes) doesn’t support looping and is only ‘one-shot’ (i.e. the file will only 
be played once, even if the activating contact closure is maintained). To play the file 
again the contact closure must first be broken and then re-made.

Additional Functions:

• Repeat Interval Timer: 

The  LB-5A  is  equipped  with  an  adjustable  interval  timer  which  operates  on  the 
second file in Group 1. When activated, the timer causes the file to be played at a 
preset interval of every one, two or three minutes. Activation of the timer and interval 
period is by setting the internal jumpers J8 and J9 as per the table below.

 
 

 

Please note:

• The activation terminals (SW2) must remain shorted by means of a contact closure 
or shorting link for the timer to operate.
• The  corresponding  files  in  banks  2  and  3  (Tone2.mp3  and  Chim2.mpg)  will  be 
unavailable while the timer is in operation.
