The following is an example of creating string files using the ADD command and the PAUSE command.
The following voice messages are recorded into the indicated file numbers:
“Welcome to Herbie’s” into file number 100
“Our fish are the freshest in town” into file number 101
Create a string file as follows:
File 1: ADD 100, PAUSE 10 seconds, ADD 101, END
When file number 1 is selected to play, “Welcome to Herbie’s”......(10 seconds of silence)......”Our fish are the freshest in town” will
be played.
The following is an example of creating string files using the ADD command and the COMMON REPEAT command.
The following voice messages are recorded into the indicated file numbers:
“Run” into file number 100
“to the nearest salesman” into file number 101
Create a string file as follows:
File 1: COMMON REPEAT 3 times, file number 100, ADD 101, END
When file number 1 is selected to play, “Run, Run, Run to the nearest salesman” will be played.
The following is an example of creating string files using the ADD command and the FILE REPEAT command.
The following voice message is recorded into the indicated file number:
“Thank you for buying Wheelock voice products” into file number 100
Create a string file as follows:
File 1: ADD 100, FILE REPEAT 3 times
When file number 1 is selected to play, “Thank you for buying Wheelock voice products” will be played. The file will play
continuously as long as the file is activated. After the file is de-activated, the file will play three additional times. A momentary
activation will play the message four times. The FILE REPEAT command must be the last item in the string.
The following is an example of creating string files using the ADD command and the TELEPHONE command.
The following voice message is recorded into the indicated file number:
“A fire has been detected at 101 Main Street” into file number 100
Create a string file as follows:
File 1: TELEPHONE [phone], TELEPHONE [phone]
TELEPHONE [phone], ADD 100, END
When file number 1 is selected to play, the phone number 555-0100 is called. If the line is busy or the call is unanswered, the
phone number will be tried two more times. After the third attempt, the next number in the string file is called. If three attempts to
that number fail, the next number in the string file is called, and so on. If the last phone number in the string file also fails three
times, the process starts over with the first phone number.
If at any point the called phone number is answered, the message “A fire has been detected at 101 Main Street” is played. Within
30 seconds of the end of the message, the digital voice module expects to hear an acknowledge code from the person receiving the
message. If the acknowledge code is not received, the digital voice module treats the call the same as a line busy or an
unanswered call. The acknowledge code expected is a “1-2-3” dialed from a touch-tone phone. When the acknowledge code is
received, the digital voice terminates the file, and no other calls are made.
The TELEPHONE command is only available to use in string files programmed for channel 1 with no secondary channels.
TELEPHONE commands must be the first commands entered into the string. Once any other command has been selected when
creating a string file, the TELEPHONE command is prohibited from being used.
Output Channels
The SAFEPATH panel may be configured with between one and four output channels. Installed output channels are labeled
consecutively 1 to 4, as necessary. Message files may be programmed to play out any combination of the four output channels.
When a message file is programmed to play out multiple output channels, the message will not necessarily play simultaneously on
all selected output channels.
