1 Introduction to the VOX111
The VoiceOFF® "VOX111" is a great way to automatically play pre-recorded messages to
visitors at your business.
It features a built-in PIR that plays a pre-recorded message stored in it, when movement is
detected, through a small built-in speaker. You can change the message stored in the
VOX111 with your own personal one to tailor the message to your particular requirements.
The automatic playing of messages is a great reminder to visitors of your policies helping
them and your staff to stay safe during the Covid outbreak. It’s non-confrontational and never
forgets to do its job!
With the ability to change the built in MP3 message, it’s really easy to then use the VOX111
to play other general messages as times change, so you could use it to welcome guests and
take a seat or suggest items you have on special offer.
The VOX111 can also be triggered to play a different MP3 message by triggering its alarm
input. This allows you to link it to others devices such as automatic doors, alarm panels, fire
alarms etc. Inside the VOX111 it has the ability to store the two MP3 messages, one is played
back from being triggered by the PIR, the second being trigged by something external
connected to its alarm input.
The VOX111 is an in-ceiling mount design so that it can sit in a ceiling tile or similar for a
clean and easy installation. It is 12V powered and requires a suitable PSU such as a POW151.
Alternatively you could run a 12V power supply from another 12V system within the
premises for a neat installation.
To change the MP3 sound files stored on the VOX111 you simply connect it to a suitable
computer or laptop and it will see it as a USB drive. Replace the MP3 files with your own
using the correct naming protocol as listed in these instructions.

4.1 Alarm Input
A 4-way terminal strip used in conjunction with an
external alarm input such as a wireless keyfob, door
contact, push button, a secondary PIR or a DVR/NVR
alarm output.
To trigger the second MP3 message (SQ02.mp3)
connect "TG" to "GND" on the VOX111's relay output.
4.2 Micro USB
Used for connecting the unit to a PC, the micro USB leads connects into the rear of the player
whilst the USB connects into the USB on your PC or Laptop. The player is seen as a USB drive
allowing the free message (MP3) files to be swapped over to meet your exact requirements.
When replacing your MP3 message files please ensure the following naming conventions are
adhered to:
SQ01.mp3 (PIR triggered message)
SQ02.mp3 (external alarm input triggered message)
Further free messages for the unit can be downloaded by visiting our website and entering
your unit’s serial number at:

4.3 Power
The unit requires 12V DC up to 300mA to operate. This is connected using the 2.1mm DC
socket on the rear of the speaker case.
4.4 Audio Input
A standard 3.5mm audio jack input that allows the unit to be used as a standard (loud)
speaker unit.
Please note: when the unit detects an external input on this port, it will override any other
message functions.
4.5 L/R Out (Audio)
A standard 3.5mm audio jack socket used for an audio output that can be connected to an
external amplifier for playing messages in a second area.
5 Powering Up
The VOX111 VoiceOFF® should be powered using a regulated 12V DC power supply of a
minimum rating of 400mA. This can be plugged in using the 2.1mm DC power socket on the
rear of the speaker case. The unit uses 20mA in standby mode and up to 300mA whilst
operating.
6 Setup Considerations
It is worth taking a couple of minutes to conduct a site survey and bench test the unit to try
out the messages before before mounting the VOX111 in situ. It may be that you wish to
switch around the messages played by the unit and this is easier to do near a PC or laptop
rather than once it is installed.
6.1 Free MP3 Messages Supplied
The unit is supplied with 2 free messages that are named to automatically play once
triggered by their respective inputs as follows:
SQ01.mp3 (PIR triggered message)
The PIR input on the VOX11 has been wired to trigger the following message:

Setup Considerations

© 2021 System Q Ltd
SQ01.mp3 - this is the following free message as shipped at time of writing:
“Welcome face coverings are required whilst in this store, thank you for helping to keep us all
safe.”
SQ02.mp3 (External alarm input triggered message)
The external alarm input connection has been setup to trigger the following message:
SQ02.mp3 - this is the following free message as shipped at time of writing:
“Please observe the social distancing measures we have in place during your visit.”
Other messages
A selection of free messages (plus 1000s of others) can be downloaded at our website for
numerous uses including:
Welcome Messages for Reception Areas, Health & Safety Announcements, Customer Service
Advice, CCTV In Operation Messages, Sirens and more...
Please visit: voiceoff.com
6.2 PIR
The built in PIR has a 120º detection angle with a range of up to 4 metres. As the unit is
ceiling mounted it is ideally designed to be placed in a ceiling tile near an entrance way to
detect customers or other visitors entering a room or area.
It works by measuring the Infra Red (IR) light radiating from an object such as a human being
in its field of view and detecting the subsequent radiant heat emitted. Please see our TIP 195
here for more information on how to get the most from your Passive Infra Red (PIR) detector
installation.
6.3 Alarm Input
In addition to the PIR trigger, the unit has an additional alarm input that can be used to trigger
a secondary message. This is ideal for a door contact, push button, break beam, a secondary
PIR in fact any closing contact even the output from a DVR or NVR such as the Zip range.
For example a shopkeeper might use a push button to “activate” the playing of message 2
when a group of school children enter updating the message to
“Only 2 school children in the store at any one time, CCTV is in operation”

Whichever alarm trigger type you decide to use it will only need to go to to GROUND (GND)
momentarily to trigger and play the message. If you wish to continuously loop the playback
of the message then a continuous low input trigger would do this.
6.4 Relay Delay (01-99 secs)
The relay delay feature can be set from 1 second all the way up to 99 seconds and will delay
ALARM OUTPUT from triggering again.
This delay period is simply altered using the Remote control. Press the mode button and
enter the number of seconds you require as a delay on the keypad. The PIR light will then
flash red 5 times to indicate it has been updated. The default setting is 10 seconds.
Eg. for a 45 second delay enter Mode > 45
This will inhibit the alarm output trigger from activating again during that period.
6.5 Indicator Light (Red)
Emitted from the PIR section of the speaker, the red light shows when a message is actively
playing. It is also used in setup to mode by flashing 5 times to confirm the Relay Delay has
been saved.

7 Mounting
The VOX111 is a ceiling speaker similar in design to a downlighter. For installation you will
need a recess of at least 108mm in diameter with headroom of about 120mm.
8 Troubleshooting
8.1 Problem – The unit isn’t playing a message.
Solution(s):
1. Check the unit is powered up using a suitably rated (min 400mA) 12V DC power supply.
2. This could indicate that the message has been named incorrectly. Please connect the unit
to a PC or laptop using the USB lead supplied and double check that the MP3 files exist
and have the correct naming format.
8.2 Problem – The unit is playing the wrong messages.
Solution:
1. This could indicate that the message has been named incorrectly. Please connect the unit
to a PC or laptop using the USB lead supplied and double check that the MP3 files have
the correct naming format .
8.3 Problem – The unit isn’t triggering a second time
Solution:
1. This may be that you have set up the relay delay for what feels like too long a period of
time (up to 99 seconds). Reset the Relay delay period to a shorter delay setting.
