pian

   

Piano style trip inputs. 

This command will allow the eight trip inputs to function like a piano key-
board. When a trip is released, the mp3 that is playing will stop after a 
short delay set by the 

orun

 command. 

/pian=1;

 

 

Piano mode active. 

/pian=0;

   Normal 

operation 

 

orun

   

MP3 overrun after trip release (pian )

 

In Piano mode, this command sets the delay time before the mp3 will 
stop playing after the trip is released. The value can be 0 to 20 in 50ms 
increments. 
eg.   

/orun=2;

   

= 100ms overrun 

 

fade  

Fade in  rate for cont and hold commands.  

Normal values between 1-10 

/fade=1;

 Slow 

fade 

/fade=10;

 Fast 

fade 

 

fado  

Fade out  rate for cont and hold commands.  

Normal values between 1-10 

/fado=1;

 Slow 

fade 

/fado=10;

 Fast

autp

    

Automatically plays a file on power up

 

Plays an MP3 or runs a command file on power up and when no trips 
Are active. Can be stopped by stop input but will restart when stop pin 
is released. This mode can be cancelled within a command file by 
using “/

autp=0

;” 

/autp=0;

  

MODE Inactive 

/autp=?;

 

 

? = 1-255 number of MP3 or command file to 

play on power up and when no other trip is active. 
 

scrl  

Scroll through MP3 files.

 

Preselect MP3 using ‘

sync in’

 pin to scroll up and ‘

run in

’ pin to scroll 

down. Activate ‘

start’

 to play and ‘

stop’

 to cancel a MP3. You must use a 

command file on power up to set the start and end limits for the scroll 
group. Any missing mp3’s from the group will be skipped during scroll- 
ing. This function only works with  MP3 files & not command files. 

/scrl=1;

 

Enable scroll mode. 

/scrl=0;

 

Disable scroll mode. 

 
How to setup 

‘scrl’

 

This example assumes twenty four messages on the card to play. 
In the ctl.txt file, set ‘/autp=254;’ Which will run a command file numbered 
254 on power up. 
Contents of command file 

‘254limits.txt’ 

in data folder.

 

/lims=1;  

Assumes first mp3 in group is 001namename.mp3 

/lime=24;  

Assumes last mp3 in group is 024namename.mp3 

/autp=0; 

Disables this file from running again. 


 

plal

  

 

Play looped 

Loops any selected mp3 file from a momentary contact closure even 
when trip is released. 

/plal=0;

 

MP3 will play once from momentary trip.  

/plal=1;

 

MP3 will play looped from momentary trip.  

 

16tp

    

16 direct inputs with external encoder

  

Allows 16 direct trip inputs by grounding the ‘sync in’ with switch inputs 9 
to 16 using a diode OR function. This function only works with decimal 
mode. Lower trips have priority

/16tp=1;

 

16 input mode active. 

/16tp=0;

 

16 input mode inactive. 

 
 
 
 
 

Pria   

Primary RS485 address

 

Used when the DMS3000 is being controlled via a computer or control 
system with an RS485 serial port. 
Assigns an individual address code of 1 to 255 for this DMS3000.  
eg.  

/pria=255;

 

 

seca   

Secondary RS485 address 

Used when the DMS3000 is being controlled via a computer or control 
system with an RS485 serial port. 
Assigns an address code of 1 to 255 for this DMS3000.  
The secondary address allows several DMS3000 boards to be controlled 
simultaneously by setting the same secondary address on all boards to 
be controlled together

eg. 

/seca=255;

 

 

r485    

Enable RS485 control. 

Contact Golding audio for protocol if this function is required. 

/r485=1;

 

RS485 control enabled. 

/r485=0;

 

RS485 control disabled. 

 

vlmn   

Minimum volume for vldn command 

This command sets the minimum volume level selectable when using 
the ‘vldn’ command within a command file.  See command file informa-
tion for more detail. 
Formula for arriving at value for data byte. 
value = 255 - (4 x ?dB) 

Examples: 

-6dB  

 

/vlmn=231;

 

 

-40db  

 

/vlmn=95;

 

-63dB Min Vol   

/vlmn=1;

 

 
vlmx
   

Maximum volume for vlup command 

This command sets the maximum volume level selectable when using 
the ‘vlup’ command within a command file.  See command file informa-
tion for more detail. 
Formula for arriving at value for data byte. 
value = 255 - (4 x ?dB) 

Examples: 

0dB  

 

/vlmax=255; 

-6dB  

 

/vlmx=231;

 

 

-40db  

 

/vlmx=95;
