The VOX300 is a voice annunciator and MP3 player with a built-in amplifier and speaker.
Powering the VoiceOFF
Power the VOX300 from 12V DC (via the input voltage terminals) on the PCB. The current consumption is 200mA maximum. A power supply is not provided.
Line input Connection
The line input audio is connected to the yellow audio input phono (RCA) connector on the PCB. The line input can be taken from an audio device or DVR via an audio phono (RCA) lead.
Volume Control On the VoiceOFF PCB, there are two blue volume controls, which are small multiturn adjustment pots, a precision screwdriver is required. It is a multi-turn pot (20 turns from minimum to maximum) this means that in order to make a noticeable change the screw will need to be turned multiple revolutions.
Triggering the Pre-recorded messages
The voice will play a message depending on which alarm input is triggered and by how the MP3 files are named.
For example, when alarm input 1 is triggered, VoiceOFF looks for an MP3 file that has been named 0001.mp3.
See overleaf for the Pre-recorded massage table.
Note that the MP3 file will only play a file once, it will not play in a loop even if triggered for a longer period. The length of the recorded file will dictate the run time.
