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.

5.2 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

5.4 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.
5.5 L/R Out (Audio)
A standard 3.5mm audio jack socket connection for line audio output can be connected to an
external amplifier for playing messages in a second area.
The output is line level output (-10dBV) which is around 0.5V peak to peak. If the amplifier
being used does not have a line or mic input for lower line level inputs then a pre-amp may
be required.
Note this output is not an axillary output, which tends to have a high line level output of
around (0dBV) 1.0-1.2V peak to peak.
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.

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.
7.1 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)

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)
