The new MP3 is now installed on the card and the
card can be removed from the PC following windows
safe card removal procedures. Make sure the A 1741
is OFF and insert the SD card into the slot in the front;
it will click when fully inserted.
The A 1741 is ready to go on Trigger1.
Repeat these steps for Trigger2 to Trigger8 if you
need to.
Please note: that the ALERT and EVAC folders
and the MP3 files inside these folders should not
be deleted or renamed in anyway this will cause
the A 1741 to stop responding.
Emergency tones (Alert and Evacuation)
The Alert and evacuation tones conform to
Australian Standards AS1670.4 and are used to notify
building occupants of an emergency situation.
Alert:
The Alert tone is activated by a closing contact
on the ALERT trigger or by pressing the Alert button
on the front of the unit and can be used in
Alternate or Momentary setup as mentioned in
section 2.0 and the Dip Switch settings. The Alert
tone comes with a change over option which forces
the A 1741 to switch from Alert to the Evacuation
tone after a prescribed time. Use DIP switches 5-8 to
adjust this time or switch off completely (see Fig 4).
Evacuation:
The Evacuation tone is activated by a
closing contact on the Evac trigger or by pressing the
Evac button on the front of the unit and and can
be used in Alternate or Momentary setup as
mentioned in section 2.0 and the Dip Switch settings.
Evacuation message:
A message (repeated twice)
can be inserted every three evacuation cycles as per
the Australian Standards. Voice message could be
something like “please evacuate the building by the
closest exit”. To install a Evacuation message on the A 1740 follow the Step by step guide to put a MP3
into Trigger1 with a Windows installed PC but replace Trigger1 with Voice i.e. put the message into the
Voice folder on the SD card and delete any other MP3 file located in the voice folder.
Priority:
The Emergency tones have priority over other triggers (1 to 8) and if activated will stop any other
MP3 and activate the selected emergency tone. Evacuation also has priority over Alert.
