How to use the Alert 150-AC
About the MP3 Node
The MP3 Node is the heart of the Alert 150-AC. Once the system has been
wired and voltage applied, a simple press of one of the 8 input switches will
activate the system. The maximum volume of the siren can be adjusted by
making changes to the Global Volume Setting of the MP3 Node.
For information about the MP3 Node, please see Genave tech publication
9000-0000-127
. That document will describe how to program the MP3 Node
and make changes to its settings.
About the LR-900 Node
The LR-900 will allow you to control the Alert 150-AC wirelessly
from great distances depending on the configuration. Generally,
the LR-900 is used to activate sirens within a distance of ¼ to ½
miles away. Additionally, LR-900 units repeat signals from the
activation point which allows whole systems to be activated with
very low signal strength and to reach sirens out of signal range of
the activation point.

Microphone
The Alert 150-AC can be equipped with an optional microphone. This microphone turns the
Alert 150 into a Public Address system. The microphone is not active at the same time as the
speakers so that there is no feedback in the system. Instead, the microphone acts as a store-
and-
forward recording device. When the microphone’s button is pressed, the MP3 Node
begins recording audio from the microphone to the micro SD memory card. When the button
is released, the MP3 Node plays the message. The message can be automatically repeated
several times depending on the configuration of the MP3 Node.
