Overview:
The following pages show examples of using the DALLEE DCv3 sound card in conjunction with different AristoCraft radio receivers. These wiring diagrams show utilization of either
the standard DC type sound cards or the "Auto-Whistle" or "Auto-Horn" reed switch type cards. The wiring is the same but the operation is different. The main difference is in the
operation of the Whistle/Horn and Bell functions. The standard DCv3 sound card's only play the Whistle/Horn when the input (J4-1, S1) has a request to do so. Therefore, the
Whistle/Horn will only play for as long as your function / radio button demands that request. The bell on these units is not latched as well, requiring a latch function on the receiver
board. If a latching function output is not available, a constant holding of the "ON" button would have to happen for the bell to play. The "Auto-Whistle" and "Auto-Horn" sound units
provide for the playing of a pattern for each activation of the Whistle/Horn input. Therefore, each time you request the Whistle/Horn to play a different pattern will play from the sound
card. The length of the button depression on the radio control has nothing to do with the duration of the Whistle/Horn play with these units. The bell also has a latching function, so a
latching function input is not desired from the receiver. Thus a push on, push off operation, with a pause between, is requied to operate the Bell on these systems.
