Align the PCBA into the upper and lower tracks for the slot. Slide the PCBA towards the rear of the card
rack until the PCBA comes in contact with a connector on the backplane. Firmly press on the front bezel
until the PCBA is seated. Secure the PCBA to the card rack by tightening the two screws located on the
front bezel.
Optional PCMCIA Memory Card Installation
The PCMCIA memory card may be used for adding optional speech messages. If the PCMCIA is being
installed for the first time or if the speech messages are being changed, complete the following instructions.
The 69253-001 AGI does not need to be powered down for insertion or removal of the PCMCIA memory
card. Insert the memory card through the rectangular cut-out of the AGI bezel, ensuring that the label on
the top of the memory card faces to the right. Slide it until fully seated in the PCMCIA socket. Once fully
seated, the memory card should protrude approximately ¼ inch from the AGI bezel. Note: The memory
card and its socket are polarized for proper insertion – do not force card into socket.
The AGI senses the insertion of the PCMCIA memory card and resets the AGI’s CPU. The PCMCIA
memory card is then read by the AGI’s CPU. The MCU's software configuration must be configured, if
not previously done, so that the AGI can recognize the speech files loaded into the PCMCIA memory card.
If new or additional alarm messages are desired for your particular system, then the PCMCIA memory card
must be updated. In addition, the MUC must be reconfigured. Please contact GAI-Tronics for assistance.
To remove the PCMCIA memory card, simply grasp the card and pull it out from the AGI. The audio
generator’s CPU resets, and upon restart, it recognizes that the card has been removed and defaults to
tone-only alarms. If an alarm message is being broadcast when the PCMCIA memory card is removed, the
speech message is canceled and the audio generator resets and defaults to tone-only for the alarm.
Operation
Configuration - The AGI tones and messages are configured by the MCU software configuration package.
Refer to the system manual for all operating details.
