1.4Tips
1、LED flickers every 1.5swhenworking normally,the LED also flickers every0.1s when a
playlist is being uploaded.
2、If the module cannot be found using the software, and the LED does not blink every 1.5
seconds, reset the IP. By default the module IP is 192.168.10.250, the IP of a
connected PC should be set as 192.168.10..*
3、The SD card must use the FAT 32 file system.
4、After the IP of the module has been modified it will immediately restart, a user should
wait at least 5 seconds before using the module after a restart has occurred.
5、Any audio files that a user wishes to play must be in mp3 format, the name of an audio
file cannot exceed 21 characters, and its name cannot exceed 25 characters.
6、When using a SD card a maximum of 47 playlists are supported, with each playlist
supporting 999 songs. The FTP server supports 48 playlists, with each playlist
supporting 999 songs.
7、If a voice file is to be played it must have a numerical prefix, as an example the voice file
for a locking door would be ‘001lock.mp3’.
8、The SD card must be inserted into the module regardless of which audio source is to be
used.
2. Safety Precautions
Do not exceed 0.2Nm of torque when attaching the module.
Ensure the module is well ventilated.
Keep the module away from all liquids and corrosive gases.

5.3.2 FM Channel List
The FM channel list supports 25 preset frequencies, for a channel to be used it must be
changed from the default ‘Invalid’ to ‘Valid’.
5.3.3 Audio Broadcast Setup
The ‘Broadcast’ function or ‘party mode’ as it is alternatively known, enables multiple
Z-Audio modules to play the same songs simultaneously.
If the HDL-BUS setup tool is opened, one Z-Audio module can be set as the master
module causing the remaining Z-Audio modules to be relegated to slave modules. If a
DLP panel then activates the ‘party mode’(the party mode can be enabled or disabled by
double pressing the top right hand button of the DLP), the master Z-Audio module will
then stream its data simultaneously via an Ethernet connection to all Z-Audio slave
modules.
Note: supported music source of party mode: SD Card, FTP(NAS-HDD) and radio.

b) Configuring a Z-Audio module as a master module
Take the above Z-Audio as a master module.
Broadcast mode
- Host: act as the master Z-Audio, to synchronize its audio stream to other slave ones;
- Slave: act as the slave Z-Audio, to play the same audio which received from the host;
- Host and slave: act as the master Z-Audio and slave Z-Audio.
Volume synchronization
Enable this function, the master Z-Audio can synchronize the volume to the slave ones.
To then enable the ‘broadcast function’, the mode must be set as ‘host’ and the volume
synchronization tick box must be checked.
Four groups are available, however only the first is able to act as the host/master under
host mode. If another Z-Audio module has the same number (e.g. 1) in its four groups,
then it can synchronize with the host/master modules music library.

c) Configuring the Z-Audio slave modules
Take below Z-Audio module as a slave module.
To then enable the module to receive commands from the master, the ‘slave’ mode must
be selected, and if the ‘volume synchronization’ tick box is checked, then it can
synchronize the volume of the master one.
Four groups are available, and all act as slave ones under slave mode. Set anyone group
e.g. Group1 the same number as the host one’s first group number(here it’s 1), it can then
synchronize with the host/master modules music library.
d) Setting the master Z-Audio module as the music control target
To set the master Z-Audio module as the music control target, the subnet ID and the
device ID must be entered.
