Filenames
SA models of the PM will recognise les of the above types with the following
lenames:
Message les: M_x.mp3 or M_x.wma
Chime les: C_x.mp3 or C_x.wma
In both the message and chime lenames, x must have a value between 1 and 8. Thus
valid message lenames are M_1.mp3 to M_8.mp3, and valid chime lenames are
C_1.mp3 to C_8.mp3 (or their *.wma equivalents). All other les on the memory
card will be ignored.
The sound le M_1.mp3 (or M_1.wma) will be played when MESSAGE button 1
is pressed; the remaining sound les correspond numerically to the other buttons in
exactly the same way.
The sound le C_1.mp3 (or C_1.wma) is always used as the pre-announcement
page chime. Pre-recorded messages may be preceded by either C_1.mp3 or
C_2.mp3 (or their *.wma equivalents). Additionally, any chime le may be assigned
to a zone group to precede a pre-recorded message. See “Chime settings – SA
models only
l” on page 39 for details of how to congure chime settings, and
“Assigning a chime to a zone group (SA models only) y” on page 34 for details of
chime assignment to zone groups.
Filenames M_5.mp3 to M_8.mp3 and C_5.mp3 to C_8.mp3 (or their *.wma
equivalents) will be ignored by a PM4-SA.
It would be common practice to copy sound les to the memory card so that they are
either all in the root directory, or the message les in one folder in the root and the
chime les in another. These arrangements are not mandatory, and the PM-SA will correctly
retrieve the required les from any folder location on the card. However, slightly faster
operation will result by placing all sound les in the root directory.
