Playing-Remote Control
Remote Control playback is achieved through the I/O connections located on the
endplate of the MacFi unit. Please reference the Hardware Configuration section of
this manual for additional information on available connections. Playback of
message will include selected repeat and delay parameters.
Step 1 – Make all desired power, audio out, configuration switch and I/O
connections to the unit and power up. Unit will initiate self test and
default to idle mode.
Step 2 – Provide a momentary or maintained signal to the message
input(Connector 1, terminals 2-9) desired. Message LED will remain
solid during playback.
Step 3 – Provide a momentary signal to the stop input(Connector 1, terminal 10)
to stop playback and return to idle mode - or - allow message to play to
end at which point, system will return to idle mode.
MacFi will ignore an input which corresponds to an empty or corrupt message
location. Play relay contact will be maintained for the duration of play sequence.
When playing multiple messages through queued messages or via maintained start
activation’s, the system will drop the play relay for approximately 100mS between
sequences.

minutes on the MacFi 16.
Step 3 – Wait until Record Indicator turns off, indicating memory check is
complete, and unit will perform as usual.
