GD-36
The GD-36 is suitable for commercial and for security sound uses in rooms with large crowds, which
requires the diffusion of automatic reminders (ads), emergency, evacuation, and so on, due to the
basic features detailed below: The GD-36 digital recorder can digitally record and play an unlimited
number of ads, the limitation is the size of external memory available. GD-36 can record and
playback messages to or from the SD Card (SDHC type), available on the rear panel, but also allows
to play background music (BGM) from SD card or from a USB flash memory, connected on the front
USB socket.
The messages can be scheduled by an internal calendar by creating a series of events, called
"Programs" which records the characteristics associated with the related message, such as: Start
Time, End Time, Cadence, Loop, Activation remote outputs, etc ... and once achieved all the criteria,
GD-36 activates the message automatically. Also, turn allows manual issuance of any message
sender in the system memory.
Additions, GD-36 allows the remote activation of messages through remote control inputs, which
you can associate a particular digital voice file, a priority factor, the activation type (open or closed
contact) and if should respond to momentary or continuous pulse (switch).
To comply with current security regulations, GD-36 allows monitoring of up to two pre-recorded
messages, which are checked periodically to ensure its content, and degradation if any of them, let
us know in a maximum of 100 seconds by activation of an LED light in the front panel, and by opening
the FAULT contact located on the rear panel.
The device is ready to be powered from AC line (230Vac) and from DC line (24Vdc, Battery Backup),
so that it can keep operating even during AC power drops; also has a clock / calendar with
independent power supply, which ensures that any scheduled event can be activated at the preset
time.
If required by the client, GD-36 enables remote monitoring of equipment status using the
ETHERNET LAN connector, as well as allows the activation of pre-recorded messages or warnings,
the scheduling of calendar events and the remote audio files update. To use this function some
equipment and extra wiring is required, as well as the correct configuration of equipment related to
the computer network will be connected to which GD-36 (see section Remote Management for
details).

4. BASIC OPERATIONS
GD-36 basically acts as a music player (BGM), but lets stop the broadcasting of music to issue a warning, pre-recorded message
or sound activated either manually from the local keyboard, or automatically from a remote control input or as programmed entry
using a calendar event. Additionally, and only as advanced method, can be performed remote message activation, requiring only
the connection to a local area network or LAN (Ethernet).
4.1. Digital Audio Storage.
The audio content (music or messages / alerts / sounds) that the device plays is located by default in a SDCARD HC type (high
capacity) on the rear panel. This card must be formatted with FAT32 file system and must include the following directory structure:
• MUSIC. It included music tracks or songs in MP3 format (ID3 info will be appreciated).
• SOUND. This folder should include the sounds, alarms, etc. …, in WAV format.
• VOICE. Included in this folder, voice messages in WAV format.
• SETTINGS. It's a system folder that should be no modified by the user, due to
include the settings.bin file, base of all programming and configuration of GD-36.
To facilitate user to change the background music which content is most sensitive to changes,
has enabled a USB 2.0 port on the front of GD-36. Just insert a USB flash memory, formatted
under the FAT32 file system, and copy the music in a folder called MUSIC hanging from the tree
root directory of the related drive. It is required to turning off the GD-36 before inserting the
USB memory; once turn on again, the USB memory contents will be examined and if they are
music files, these will be selected to be played when the user wishes.
NOTAS:
It is highly recommended not to connect or disconnect the USB sticks with the GD36 device in operation, to prevent failure and
damage it.
GD-36 required for a proper operation that the audio directories containt at least a correct file, ie a “.mp3” track on the “MUSIC”
folder, a “.wav” file on the “VOICE” folder and a “.wav” file on the “SOUND” folder.
It's recommended to format the SD Cards with the SDFormatter V3 or upper tool, freely available on
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/index.html, instead of included in most common OS in order to assure the compatibility with all
market cards.
GD-36
The FTPServer installed on Gd36 requires of an standard ftp client working prompt the prompt system. This kind of client is included on
the more usual OS (Windows includes ftp.exe).

4.4. Operating indicator lights (LED).
The unit has in the front panel just a few lights that give us the following information:
1. STANDBY/ON.
It indicates if unit is operating (GREEN) or off (RED).
2. FAULT.
When lit (RED) indicates general failure condition of the unit or degradation of the audio files supervised (Security
installations). This indication is related to the FAULT open contact condition on the rear side.
3. MUSIC ON.
When lit (RED) indicates active music playback mode.
4. MESSAGE ON.
When lit (RED) indicates active message/calendar playback mode.
5. REC ON.
When lit (RED) indicates the recording mode is active and the user can record a new message.
4.5. Turn ON/OFF the unit.
The equipment has been designed to support the continued operation, but in certain situations may require disconnection. This
should be kept the "OK" button down for few seconds and then released it; just at this moment the unit will shut down to low power
mode. At that time the STANDBY LED (RED) lights indicating that the unit has gone to standby mode.
To turn on the unit again just hold down the "OK" several seconds and then release it. At that point the STANDBY LED turns off
and the ON LED lights ON (GREEN) and the display shows the starting process information. After few initialization seconds, the
unit is fully operative.
NOTE: The display automatically goes into shutdown mode after several minutes of inactivity (no user operation), but the unit is in
a fully operational state. In this condition the ON LED remains lit. Pressing any key on the front panel, or if is detected any external
or scheduled event, the display is automatically turn on to show the new device state.
5. BASIC SETUP.
To enter in the setup mode is necessary that player was paused or stopped, then press
MENU to enter in the MAIN MENU.
Within the MAIN MENU there are functions that can be executed by any user, but there
are other that request a Password to access to advance features. These latter are
accessed after selecting the "Service Menu".
Use the cursor keys to select the desired option and confirm with OK, or at any time
using the BACK key can return to the main screen.
Use the cursor kys to select the desired option and OK to confirm, but using the BACK
key to come back to the main screen.
4.3. Keyboard.
To manage the behavior of the device, it features a navigator keypad comprising 4 arrow keys (up, down, left and right) plus a
validation key (OK), and additionally to use the basic functions, have been provided to the GD -36 of 4 shortcut keys (MENU,
BACK, PLAY / PAUSE, STOP), all in the front panel.
IMPORTANT:
The PLAY/PAUSE shortcut key affects only the music playback function, while the STOP button affects to all playback functions.
In the case of supervised messages, pressing the STOP button during the playing time, the system will require cancellation
confirmation before stopping it, by the introduction of the supervisor password (Level 2). After entering it, the supervised message
will be canceled immediately, without waiting to reach the end.
