1. General description
MODUS DMX Audio Player can be used to play music, voice
communicates, sound effects, etc. in MP3 and WAV formats. It
can play up to 255 files stored in 99 catalogues.
The device is equipped with a stereophonic D-class 2x15 W
amplifier that can power lower-ohm speakers or sets with
combined resistance no lower than 4 ohms.
Trigger connector allows to connect an external triggering
device, e.g. a button, motion detector, reed switch, etc. and
activate the device functions with it.
A built-in relay enhances the controller, allowing to activate \
deactivate external devices with maximal load of 5 A and voltage
of 24 V, synchronically with the played audio file or
independently, using DMX signal.
The device works in three modes:
- DMX mode, where with the use of DMX signal, it is possible to
choose a catalogue, track, control volume, start and stop
playback, control the galvanically isolated relay and trigger an
additional output (EXT. OUT).
- STANDALONE mode, where audio files are automatically played
once the power is switched on. It is possible to set the desired
volume and relay state.
- MANUAL mode, where audio files are played once TRIGGER
output is activated/shorted, e.g. with an external button or
motion detector. It is possible to set the desired volume, relay
state and playback style.

The device comes in three casing versions:
low-profile casing that can be mounted on a DIN 35 mm rail, a
hermetic casing for outdoor use, and as a separate PCB for
individual installation (e.g. in an interactive scenery, info kiosk,
etc.) The device features reverse polarity protection in input
voltage, as well as surge protector.
The device is perfect for using as an interactive exposition guide,
communicator, audio player in an interactive scenery, a piece of
Digital Signage system, audio effect player in an Escape Room,
theme park, part of exhibition pieces, info kiosk, etc. In all
situations, where compact dimensions, reliability and quick
sound playback triggered with the use of external signal or
button are needed.
The device can also be used as:
•time switch triggered with a button or DMX512 signal
•relay output controlled with DMX512 signal
•player for signals with specified frequency, saved from an
audio file generator.
2. Basic safety conditions
MODUS DMX Audio Player has to be powered with safe 12-24
VDC voltage from dedicated power supplies, however, during
installation and usage, it is essential to observe the following
rules:

DMX AUDIO PLAYER 01

•The controller should be installed by a person having
relevant qualifications, according to the information
in the manual.
•The device can be connected only to stabilized voltage with
loadability matching the technical parameters.
•It is essential to observe and not to exceed the maximum
current and voltage values for peripheral devices and
receivers connected to the player. Maximum current 1A,
maximum voltage 125V.
•The controller is intended for indoor use.
In case of outdoor use, it should be protected against
weather conditions.
•All wires should be protected against mechanical and
thermal damage.
•All maintenance works can be performed only after
depowering the device.
•A device with visible damages should not be connected to a
power supply.
•It is crucial to protect the device against any contact with
water and other fluids.
•Protect the device against shakes and falling.
•The device is susceptible to electrostatic discharge. Avoid
touching internal parts of the device without need.
•Do not turn the device on in places where humidity exceeds
90%.
•Do not operate the device in places where the temperature
is lower than +2°C or higher than +40°C.

The module should be powered only with the
dedicated power supply offered by the
manufacturer.
If this is the last device
in a DMX line, 120 Ohm terminator
should be used.
The manufacturer reserves the right to
introduce modifications to the functioning
and using of the device for the purpose of
improving the product.

6. Catalogue and audio file structure
The SD card needs to be formatted as FAT16 or FAT32.
There need to be created catalogues, in which MP3 or wav audio
files will be stored.
Maximum number of catalogues: 99

DMX AUDIO PLAYER 01
11
Maximum number of files in a catalogue: 255
Catalogue names need to be in a two-digit format: e.g.: 01, 02,
03 … 99
File names need to start with a number and may consist of
numbers only, e.g.: 001.mp3, 002.mp3, 003.wav … 255.mp3
It is also possible to maintain the original file name, then the
extension should be added in the following manner: 001File
name.mp3, 002File name.mp3 … 255File name.mp3
Example of catalogue and audio file structure:
Catalogue name: 01
Files stored in the catalogue: 001.mp3; 002.mp3; 003.mp3
Catalogue name: 02
Files stored in the catalogue: 001_track.mp3; 002_effect.mp3
Catalogue name: 03
Files stored in the catalogue: 001song.wav; 002_effect.wav
7. Relay mode selection
The relay may work independently or be switched on automatically
for the time of audio file playback. To set the relay working mode, use
11 and 12 DIPSWITCHES
DIP SWITCH 11 – Audio / DMX setting
Position 0: The relay is automatically switched on for the time
of audio file playback.
Position 1: The relay is switched on with DMX channel 5

DMX AUDIO PLAYER 01
12
DIP SWITCH 12 – NO or NC relay setting
Position 0: NOSwitching the relay on causes shorting the
contacts
Position 1: NC Switching the relay on causes opening the
contacts
8. Device mode selection
DMX Audio Player can work in three modes: DMX, MANUAL and
AUTO. Mode selection is done with DIP SWITCH 10.
DMX mode –switch 10 –ON
MANUAL/AUTO mode –switch 10 –OFF
8.1. DMX Mode
In this mode, the device is controlled with
DMX512 commands sent from an external
controller.

8.2. MANUAL mode
In this mode, the device works as a standalone audio player.
Playback is triggered with TRIGGER button in this mode. There
are two playback modes to choose.
Track playback without a possibility to stop
Shorting the TRIGGER input will start track
playback. Another impulse won’t cause
switching to the next track. It will be possible only once the
playback ends.
Track playback with a possibility to switch to the next track
Shorting the TRIGGER input will start track
playback. Another impulse will cause
switching to the next track during playback or once it ends.
