SPEECHPOD CONFIGURATION AND SETUP PROCEEDURE
Once you have accessed the configuration menu by pressing the SpeechPOD button, you have access to all the
functions relevant to the SpeechPOD element.. All these functions are shown below, but remember if you do not
have a particular element (e.g. PIR Motion sensor) on the device you have purchased, you will not be able to set
the configuration menu for this element.
Pressing the LANGUAGE button UP or DOWN will scroll through the list of available languages and the
device will tell you which language is currently selected. The languages programmed by the factory are
as follows and once selected all the menu settings will be spoken in the selected language.
“ENGLISH” ; “FRANCAIS” ; “DEUTSCHE” ; ESPAŇOL ; AMERICAN ; OTHER
Pressing the MESSAGE button UP or DOWN will scroll through the list of available messages you have
programmed in the Cig
-
Arrête® folder on the SD Flash Card. You can program several messages in this
folder and use the MESSAGE button to select the particular message to be played in the event of a
smoking detection. Please note that whichever message you select will be played for an alarm event
from either the flame detector, or the smoke detector.
Pressing the MODE button UP or DOWN will scroll through the options for the available SpeechPOD func-
tions. The options are shown below with a brief description for each one. The MODE button works together
with the TIME DELAY button which selects the various options or time delays for each MODE selected.
“CLEANER MODE—PLEASE SELECT TIME TO OFF”
Used by cleaning staff to change the normal operational mode to play a message alerting partially sighted
people that the floor may be wet and slippery. Use the TIME DELAY button to select the time required for the
floor to dry (10 mins to 60 mins) After the time period SpeechPOD will return to its normal mode and time
delays etc.
“DELAY AFTER ACTIVATION—PLEASE SELECT TIME DELAY”
SpeechPOD will play the selected message immediately sensing motion, but will not play any message again
for a time period which is selected by pressing the TIME DELAY button UP or Down. Typically this function is
used for infection control messages to use hand gel prior to visiting patients and relatives.
“DELAY BEFORE ACTIVATION—PLEASE SELECT TIME DELAY”
SpeechPOD will be activated on sensing motion but will not play the selected message for a time period
which is selected by pressing the TIME DELAY button UP or Down. Typically this function is used for hand
washing, where a person enters a washroom and the product waits for 60 seconds before reminding them
about the importance of hand hygiene.
“SEQUENTIAL MESSAGES—PLEASE SELECT ON OR OFF”
Press the TIME DELAY button to switch this ON or OFF. When ON, at the first detection of motion SpeechPOD
will play the first message in the SPOD folder, on subsequent activations, the next message in the folder will
be played and so on. This avoids any message fatigue and always makes the announcement fresh.
“MESSAGE REPEATS”
Once you have pressed the MODE button above, you can press the TIME DELAY button UP or DOWN to scroll
through the MESSAGE REPEATS (the number of times that the device will play the message in alarm) The
factory default setting is ONE. The options available are:
“OFF” ; “ONE” ; “TWO” ; “THREE”
Once you have configured the SpeechPOD® element present on your device, press the SPEECHPOD button
again to return to ‘RUN MODE’ which makes the device run normally and ready to generate alarm conditions.
On exiting the configuration mode the device will provide the following message:
“DEVICE CONFIGURED”
