Automatic Volume Level Control
The Informer speakers can be configured to automatically adjust the speaker’s output
level when the local ambient noise level changes. Configure the maximum level and
ambient attenuation settings on the Informer’s web page.
Digital Inputs
The Informers have digital inputs that can be activated using a dry contact closure.
Configure the inputs from the Informer’s web page. See “2. Configuring the RTU Settings”
on page 33. Each input can be configured to play 1-19 WAV files when the input is
activated. The WAV files to be played are entered by index number in a comma-separated
list, for example, 1,2,6. Relay outputs can be selected to close when the input is active and
remains closed until the associated WAV file(s) have finished playing.
The inputs can be configured for normally open or normally closed contacts and assigned
a priority level of 1 to n (n = number of inputs available in the product). The inputs can be
configured for momentary or continuous operation, or they can be disabled. Momentary
inputs will play the associated WAV file one time when the state changes to active.
Continuous configured inputs will continue to play the associated WAV files and open
or close associated relay output(s) as long as the input is active. If multiple continuous
inputs are active, the WAV files and relay outputs associated with each input will activate
in sequence. Lower priority inputs are ignored while higher priority inputs are active.
If an equal or greater priority momentary input is activated while a continuous input is
active, the momentary input will interrupt the WAV file and relay controls associated with
the continuous input. The continuous input(s) will resume control when the WAV file(s)
associated with the momentary input finish playing. Equal or higher priority momentary
inputs will override other active momentary controls.
Web page configurations must be applied, and the Informer must be rebooted before the
changes take effect.

WAV Files
Store over 4000 WAV files containing tones, music, or voice messages on a removable
SD card in the Informers. The WAV files can be configured to play when a local input is
activated. The Informer indoor and outdoor speakers include four digital inputs. These
inputs can be configured to directly activate the speaker to play a string of 1-19 WAV files
and control integrated relay output(s). The Informers are remotely configurable and can
obtain software updates through the speaker’s web page.
WAV File Control Commands
The Informer can store over 4000 WAV files containing tones, music, or voice messages
on a removable SD card. The WAV files are stored in numerical order and can be
commanded to play by the WAV file index number.
NOTE
: There are over 160 standard messages included on the SD card.
See “Appendix A
Standard DV Messages” on page 51 for a complete list.
