1 - Présentation
MicroPlayer mkIII reads WAV and MP3 audio les. This standalone player can read les automatically
according to a broadcast schedule or upon triggering by external events (input dry contact, RS232,…).
Files are stored on a SD/SDHC memory card or on a USB ash drive.
MicroPlayer mkIII broadcasts music, sounds or messages in many environments like museums, showrooms,
shop windows, attractions,touristic places, exhibitions..
2 - Functionalities
Interactivity: MicroPlayer mkIII is an interactive player that reacts depending on events.
- Playback pattern is dened by the name of les or folders
- Electrical contacts: 4 inputs combinable up to 15 inputs to trigger files through sensors, push-
buttons,relays…
- 2 outputs can control Leds, relays, motors or any other external equipment thanks to Mosfet up to 500mA
switch.
- Commands through the RS232 serial link. A simple protocol is used to send instructions to the player.
- Infrared sensor allows the use of a remote control.
Autoplay: MicroPlayer mkIII starts automatically on powering on. This function is congurable and can
be disabled.
Playback: The audio les stored on a SD/SDHC memory card or USB ash drive can be organized in a
particular way to dene playback pattern. The playback pattern is dened by the names of the les and
the folders, allowing a wide exibility of use.
Audio output: 2 types of output are proposed.
- A line level stereo audio output on a RCA standard connector
- An amplied stereo output on a removable terminal block (RTB).
Power supply: A 12v external power supply is required.
The player is protected against polarity reversals and against usage, by mistake, of an alternative power
supply instead of the D.C. power supply provided.
Caution! The player can accept a tolerance of the power supply voltage between 10 & 15V. Apart from this
voltage range, the player can be damaged.
The input supply is transferred to the RS232 connector and the output terminal (RTB) to supply the
connected accessories.
The power of the PSU determines the output power of the amplier. When a line level output is used , a
500mA (6w) power supply is adequate to run on the player. When the amplied output is used for large
powers, a supply of at least 3,45A(45w) is obligatory. If you use a PSU of an inferior power, you can have
a very poor sound and also a overheating PSU till broken down.
Serial link RS232: MicroPlayer mkIII can be controlled by a PLC, a computer, a remote control using a
serial link. MicroPlayer mkIII receives data on its Rx input and sends datas on its Tx output. A specic
protocol is described in this manual.

2 - Connect speakers or a sound system to the audio output and switch on the player thanks to the PSU
Power Supply Unit: We recommend you to use the PSU provided with the player. If you use another PSU
or a battery, you have to respect the 12V specied voltage although the player can be power supplied
between 10V and 15V. The power consumed depends on the power level of the amplier.
Preparation of the medias:
Brand new SD/SDHC memory card and USB ash drive are usually «FAT» or «FAT32» formatted.
It is highly recommended to re-format your SD/SDHC card or USB ash memory. Select the FAT or FAT32
format depending on memory size (FAT32 above 512Mb). Other types of formatting do not work.
If you use Windows PC computer, latest versions do not allow to format high capacity medias (>32Go)
system FAT32. In this case you must obtain a formatting software. Many software are available , some
free, others paying that you will easily nd on internet.
