Informers for automatic notifications.
Upload WAV files to the Informer to allow them to be played by a function during an alert.
Use the table in Appendix B to document the WAV file number, name, message, and
length.
Identify or create a folder on your hard drive where your custom WAV files are stored. For
example, create a folder named Custom WAV Files in the following directory:
C:\Program Files\Federal Signal Corporation\Sfcdware\data\Custom Files
NOTE: The WAV files must be mono, 8 bit, 8 kHz format.
