Solid State Organ Systems Flip User manual

Overview
The Solid State Flip is a page turner interface designed specifically for pipe
organ console. It converts traditional piston wiring to a Bluetooth wireless
signal which controls page turns in music reading apps on tablets
Linking with devices
The Flip uses Bluetooth to connect to your wireless device. It can only
connect to one device at a time, which prevents interference from
colleagues. However, you can pair with multiple devices, and the first device
found when the organ comes on will link up. If you wish to force the Flip to
link to another device, then go to your Bluetooth settings and choose to
disconnect it. Using Android a temporary disconnect is done by tapping on
the device name in the list. Using Apple this is done by selecting “forget this
device.”
If you need to have two devices continuously linked to the organ, then a
second Flip may be wired in parallel using the same pistons.
To Pair with the Flip open your Bluetooth settings and look for “SSOS Flip”in
the list of discoverable devices. Once the Flip has paired a blue led will light
in the Flip box and an icon will appear on your tablet.
Compatibility
Flip is compatible with common digital
sheet music apps that support Bluetooth
page turning including: ForScore, Orpheus,
MobileSheets, and PiaScore.

Installation
The Flip communicates
wirelessly and so location
is important to make
sure the console parts do
not interfere with the
signal. Metal such as
stop-jamb wiring will
block the signal and thick
wood will weaken it and
possibly make the page
turning unreliable. It may
be a good idea to
temporarily wire the Flip
and test it in different
locations. Ideally the Flip will be mounted close to the music rack, perhaps
behind the nameboard. Once a good location is found there are two screws
provide to attach the Flip to the console.
The first secret to unveil is opening the box. There
are clips holding the cover in place that are
released by squeezing the sides of the cover on
the sides near the top marked by icons.
The Flip has 4 connections to the organ console.
1. Positive DC power, between 10 and 30V connected from the
console or organ. The Flip is internally fused for 0.5A.
2. Negative or 0V DC. Connect to the console or organ but the same
power as the positive
3. Advance piston positive input
4. Turn back piston positive input
When wiring to the screw terminals first feed the wires through the slots in
the cover.
Power on: When the power is first turned on all 4 leds will flash and then
the Flip will settle with the power led on and two small leds, one flashing
and on lit dimly.
To test your piston wiring one of the yellow leds will flash for each of the
two pistons pressed. Check this to be sure you are getting a good signal.
Replacing the cover.
The cover clips onto two small bumps at the
bottom of the unit and then hinges down and
clips into place.

Setup
For most installations the Flip will just power up and pair easily to a device
and work. We have built in several diagnostic tools and setup options to
help you when things are not so straightforward. As with all our products
you are welcome to call us for advice.
The switch on the mainboard is used to set options. All switches are only
read on startup, pressing the reset button on the main board will reboot.
Switch 1 and 2 are used to change the data sent to the page turn software
as some software uses other commands. By default, Flip supports Page Turn
protocols.
Switch 3 is to select an optional Bluetooth name if you have two Flips in the
console.
All switches off = normal -- Pistons will send left arrow and right arrow
Switch 1 on -- Pistons will send up arrow and down arrow
Switch 2 on (switch 1 is ignored) -- Piston will send page up and page down
Switch 3 changes the Bluetooth name between: --
Off: SSOS Flip
On: SSOS Flip II
Switch 4 on (switch 1 and 2 normal mode is ignored) --Test mode
Switch 1 will make led 1 flash
Switch 2 will make led 2 flash
Switch 3 will make led 3 flash
Switch 4 will make led 4 flash
LEDs
Red = Power On
Green = Flashes during factory reset
Left Yellow = Turn Forward indicator
Right Yellow = Turn Back indicator
Factory Reset:
Press and hold both advance and back pistons at the same time for at least
2 seconds will cause a factory rest. This can be used if you want to delete
the Bluetooth pairing data.
