1 General
The SAM speech module is a combination device with speech output facility for oor and event
announcements such as door movements, travel direction, overload, special-drive etc. Independently
of an in-house PA system the SAM can play background music. The compact design makes it
very convenient for new installations, as well as for retrotting into existing lifts since the wiring
requirements are kept to a bare minimum. All necessary controls and connections, required during
installation, are tted on the rear side of the SAM speech module. Two potentiometers allow the
maximum desired sound level for both channels (channel 1 is wired to the existing loudspeaker). FST
menu allows to ne tune the volume of voice announcements and background music (preferably via
hand terminal or remote control).

Enter project characteristics

SAMEditor
Manual SAM 11
4.4 Floor announcements
SAMEditor will attempt to automatically select an arrival oor message to match the oor text
abbreviation you have entered. If you want to suppress for a particular oor, simply enter „?“ character
and select the sound le manually in one of the next steps.
For oors in which you don’t want an arrival message, enter a „–“ character. If your lift has two door
sides and you specically want different arrival messages for each side, check the box Use an additional
door-B. SAMEditor will then automatically reserve and generate a message slot for door side B. Conrm
your settings with OK.
By clicking the button Load from FST-Congle it’s possible to use the parameters of the accordingly FST
for SAM conguration, so you can take over the available values. The FST cong le you can create with
the FST editor FSTEdit, with you can freely download from the NEWLIFT homepage.
After you have conrmed the project settings, the oor-messages and the standard events will be
generated. You can test the results by clicking on the different messages in the project window. To
do that, select the oors you want to play with the mouse and play the message by clicking the Play-
button. For oors with no message shown, no message will be played (you have previously entered an
„?“ or an „–“).
If your lift has two door sides and you selected the 2nd door B at the project-conguration, SAMEditor
generates a oor-message in every oor for door B as well as door A. The next sections show you how
to match them.
View of the oor-texts for a project with door side A and for a project with door sides A and B
If you are not satised with the generated oor announcements or if some oor announcements are
still missing, you can change or create these in the next few steps. To change a oor name, double click
on the oor you want to change. For oors which don’t have an entry (oors without announcement),
double click on the free area next to the oor. Now a wide range of messages will be displayed in the
Sound-Dialog.

SAMEditor
12 Manual SAM
Diagram Sound-Dialog
The messages are organised in different categories. You can see the assigned message on the right
by selecting a category. When you select a message, it will be displayed for control. When selecting, a
message will be played, so you can hear how the message would sound later. Conrm your choice by
clicking on OK. If you want to delete a oor message, select by clicking on it and then press DEL (resp.
ENTF).
4.4.1 Floor announcements with additional information
There are more possibilities to change things. Until now the program assumes that only individual oor
messages are required. Because of this, the SAMEditor has only generated a single oor-message or a
message for events. These messages are in column Sound1.
To generate multiple oor-messages, the other columns Sound2 and Sound3 can be used to add
more messages. These can be used to describe more functions in the oor (for example exit, ofce,
registration ofce etc.) and will be played after each other with a small break between each message.
Floor messages with additional information
In the gure above you can see composed oor messages. When arriving in oors 1 ... 4 the following
outputs will be played:
Floor 1 = „gong – ground oor – exit“
Floor 2 = „1. upper oor – reception“
Floor 3 = „2. upper oor – cafeteria“
Floor 4 = „3. upper oor – the ofce for Civil Protection, re and rescue services“

4.10 CreatingyourownsoundleswithSAMEditor
Of course you can record your own oor and event speech messages. To record your own sounds, NEW
Lift Steuerungsbau GmbH offers a SAM Recording Set, order-number 35-88510 which includes the
following components:
›Headset comprising stereo headphones and boom microphone
›USB SD Memory Cards reader/writer
›SD Memory Card
›CD with PC-Software SAMEditor, SAM sound library and this manual in PDF format.
The advantage of using this method is that you can always create valid sound les for direct use in
SAMEditor. Start by clicking on the tab-menu Recording/Editing.
Recording and editing your own sound les
The recording and editing interface of SAMEditor has following basic areas:
›the sound source selection area for selecting the input signal source
›the graphic equalizer for post-processing of the recorded sounds
›the sound wave edit area for graphical visualization and to allow you to mark and select parts of your
recording
Sound sources
The sound source list shows all the audio input devices available in your PC, which can used to record
an audio signal. This list on your PC can be completely different as shown in this example. Normally you
would use a microphone as the sound source, if you want to record your own voice announcements.
Graphic equalizer
The graphic equalizer can help to correct the frequency response of the audio signals. The functionality
of equalizer is assumed to be known and should not be described in detail here.
To use the equalizer to playback or to modify the sound before saving to disk, you have to enable it rst.
Using the Reset button all the frequency sliders will be set to a neutral middle position „0“. If you wand
to save your current frequency response for re-use later, you can save the position of the sliders by
clicking Save EQ-Values as Default and recall them by clicking to Default.

SAMEditor
20 Manual SAM
Sound wave edit area
In the sound wave edit area the actual audio signal is shown graphically as a sound wave. Using the
mouse you can select an area (by clicking and dragging at the same time). The selected area can be
played back with Play or saved with Save WAV or Save MP3. Selected areas of the audio signals will be
shown highlighted. If nothing is marked, the whole audio signal is used for playing back or saving.
4.11 Recording and post-processing of your own speech messages or music
Recording your own speech messages or background music is done similar to other programs, which
offer the same functionality.
First select the required sound source (mostly microphone).
Recording of an audio signal
Recording is started by clicking on Record. During recording you can check the recording-volume in the
small window and adjust the sensitivity if necessary.
With the Stop button the recording will be nished and the sound wave of the recorded audio signal will
be shown in the bottom panel. Now you can playback the recording with Play, correct the frequency
response by applying the equalizer and save the whole or a highlighted portion of the audio signal using
Save WAV or Save MP3.
The button Save MP3 is only visible, when the program LAME.EXE is installed.
Use either of the buttons Save WAV or Save MP3 to save the recorded and eventually postprocessed
audio signal as an audio le the desired le format (speech messages must be saved as in WAV format).
A save le dialog will appear allowing you to enter the le name of the audio le to be saved. If you have
enabled the equalizer (box Use Equalizer is checked), a separate dialogue will ask you, if you want to
apply the equalizer function to the audio signal saving or not.
