3. Standard Operation A momentary contact closure at a start input causes the device to play one sequence of the message corresponding to that input A sequence is specified by the number of message plays and the amount of delay between each message as selected by the dip switches If a contact is maintained active the system will continuously play that sequence repeatedly until the input is released at which time the system will finish the current playback sequence and then stop If multiple inputs are held active the system will play one sequence of the first message and then cycle through any other active messages sequentially based on the order which they were activated The message corresponding to the lower input number will have priority should multiple inputs be activated at exactly the same time If amomentary contact closure is provided for the same or any other message while a sequence is playing and it is released prior to the ending of the current message play it will be ignored Play one sequence per closure If an activation input is maintained the system will only play the message sequence one time The MacFi se will wait for the input to go inactive for 100ms before it will recognize that input for subsequent message activations Other play activations will be serviced normally even with another input held active indefinitely This mode supports message queuing Message queuing allows the user to input multiple momentar
