nored until the currently playing triggered SoundFile
has completed.
Mode 19 / on/off/off/on/on:
ʻ
StoreCaster
ʼ
,
ʻ
Safety Message
ʼ
and
ʻ
Music-On-
Hold
ʼ
mode
From PowerUp, all but the first SoundFile will play in
a loop. Between each of these SoundFiles, it will
play the first SoundFile. This allows the first Sound-
File to be used as an advertisement or safety an-
nouncement that plays between your background
music. There must be at least two SoundFiles on
the
Sd-25
for this mode. Input
ʻ
a
ʼ
ramps the audio
down to full mute when activated. Input
ʻ
b
ʼ
ramps
the audio down -24dB from full volume when acti-
vated.
Options:
Option #1: DipSwitches #6 and #7
are used to se-
lect the speed at which the audio ramps in/out.
Option #8: DipSwitch #8: Randomizer.
When on,
SoundFiles are played in random order, rather than
sequentially.
Mode 1A / off/on/off/on/on:
ʻ
IR Normal
ʼ
mode
Mode 1B / on/on/off/on/on:
ʻ
IR Odd
ʼ
mode
Either IR mode sets the IR port to 1200 baud. Ten
repeats of SoundFile number through IR port (in bi-
nary) starts the requested SoundFile playing.
In Even mode,
DipSwitch #8
on the IR Transmitter
must be
ʻ
off
ʼ
or the IR beam will be ignored. (This
limits IR requests to numbers 01h through 7Fh,
which will play SoundFiles 1 through 127.)
In Odd mode,
DipSwitch #8
on the IR Transmitter
must be
ʻ
on
ʼ
or the IR beam will be ignored. (This
limits IR requests to numbers 80h through FFh,
which will play SoundFiles 1 through 127.)
These modes are used with our IR transmitters and
receivers to trigger specific SoundFiles to play at
specific points along a path on trains, ride vehicles,
rollercoasters, monorails, hay rides, tour busses and
other similar vehicles.
If operating in either IR mode,
DipSwitch #8
, when
ʻ
on
ʼ
tells the
Sd-25
to never play the same Sound-
File twice in a row. Use this DipSwitch when there is
a possibility that the IR receiver will park on a IR
transmitter
ʼ
s beam, and you don
ʼ
t want it to repeat
the same SoundFile over and over and over…...
If operating in either IR mode,
DipSwitch #9
is nor-
mally set to
ʻ
on
ʼ
. If it is
ʻ
off
ʼ
, the SoundFile will be
continuously retriggered as long as the IR receiver
remains inside the IR transmitter
ʼ
s beam. The
SoundFile will not be allowed to play through until
the IR receiver leaves the transmitter's IR beam.
Input
ʻ
a
ʼ
will ramp the audio to a fully muted level
when activated. The
ʻ
b
ʼ
input ramps the audio to a
-24dB
ʻ
half muted
ʼ
(lower) volume.
Options:
Option #1: DipSwitches #6 and #7
are used to se-
lect the speed at which the audio ramps in/out.
Mode 1C / off/off/on/on/on:
ʻ
Doug
ʼ
s Doorbell
ʼ
mode
Single Trigger with Reshuffle. This mode is very
similar to mode C, but supports 32,767 possible
SoundFiles on the
Sd-25
. All SoundFiles are
ʻ
Un-
steppable
ʼ
when operating in this mode. Input
ʻ
a
ʼ
plays ALL of the SoundFiles on the
Sd-25
(Sound-
Files 1 through ??). Input
ʻ
b
ʼ
reshuffles the
ʻ
PlayList
ʼ
triggered by the
ʻ
a
ʼ
input.
Options:
Option #2:
The one SoundFile that is selected will
loop as long as the input stays active: unless
DipSwitch #6
or
DipSwitch #7
are on.
Option #6: DipSwitch #6:
When on, the SoundFile
will only play once (no looping).
Option #7: DipSwitch #7:
When on, input
ʻ
a
ʼ
will
loop through SoundFiles 1 through ?? as long as the
input stays active. Short pulses on the
ʻ
a
ʼ
input tend
to play sequentially, even if
DipSwitch #8
is on.
Option #8: DipSwitch #8: Randomizer.
When on,
SoundFiles are played in random order, rather than
sequentially. Unlike most other modes where the
SoundFiles are played randomly, this mode does
not check to see whether the same SoundFile has
been played recently. This means that it is possible
