Content for your SoundClip is stored on a
MicroSD card (supplied preprogrammed). We suggest you use this as a template for uploading your own content.
Should you need to use a different
MicroSD Card we suggest you format the new card first to ‘FAT’ or ‘FAT32’.
To program your content, you will need;
1.
A PC or laptop with Windows OS
2.
Audio Content in .mp3 format
(support up to 99 files).
3.
MicroSD Card (Supplied)
4.
MicroSD to USB convertor (supplied)
Windows OS is required to program your
SoundClip using a PC or Laptop (XP –
10). MacOS is not supported due to hidden files generated by the OS.
The SoundClip can play up to 99 .mp3 tracks. These are stored in the root of the
MicroSD Card.
You must number your files 001 – 099.
The order in which your files are played and the buttons they are assigned to is dependent on their name.
File 001 – Button 1 (or PIR trigger) / 1 st file played
File 002 – Button 2 / 2 nd file played
File 003 – Button 3 / 3 rd file played (and so on)
Once you have your audio files ready and correctly named, you simply need to load this all on the supplied MicroSD card.
Insert the MicroSD card into supplied
MicroSD – USB card reader. Plug into a spare USB socket on your PC and open the folder.
Now simply drag and drop all the required files onto the MicroSD card.
Insert the MicroSD card into your
SoundClip and power on.

Deciding how the SoundClip-8L is configured is completed using the ‘Configuration
Switches’, this determines such things as whether it’s looping, button activated or has a delay between content. Here are the mode options.
You must power on / off your SoundClip after changing modes. Some modes have an adjustable delay. For more information see the Delay section on page 13. Some modes are not compatible with the connection of volume buttons. If so it will be stated. The drawings below demonstrate each mode. If the switch is red it means its set to up; whilst green means set to down.
As standard, the SoundClip Config Switches will be set in the upward position. The diagrams throughout this section use the colour red to indicate that the switches are in the upward position.
Red = The dipswitch is in the upward position
Green = The dipswitch is in the downward position
Up to 8 buttons can be connected. An individual MP3 can be assigned to each button and playback is interruptible in this mode, so pressing a button will active new playback.
• Buttons 1-8 – Tracks 1-8
Up to 8 buttons can be connected. An individual MP3 can be assigned to each button and playback is non-interruptible.
Playback must finish before your next selection.
• Buttons 1-8 – Tracks 1-8

All content on the MicroSD card will continually play on a loop from power up.
Delay can be used before the beginning of a new loop.
Looping – Up to 99 tracks
If connected to a PIR – it will play the next track each time its triggered. If inactive, a delay can be used to reset tracks back to the first. PIR must be connected to button
1 input.
•
PIR – Next track
PIR triggered playback. All tracks will play once the PIR is triggered. A delay can be set once the tracks have played through.
The PIR cannot trigger again during the delay. PIR must be connected to button 1 input.
• PIR – Up to 99 tracks
Users may navigate through tracks through button 1 for next and button 2 for previous.
•
Button 1 – Next track
•
Button 2 – Previous track
To be used with an AutoPlay Handset
Track 1 will be played automatically upon pick up. Your AutoPlay cable/AutoPlay
Hanger must be connected to button 1 input.
• AutoPlay Handset – Track 1
• Button 2 – Next track
To be used with an AutoPlay Handset,
Track 1 will begin playing and users can select additional tracks from 7 buttons.
Delay can be used on this mode. Your
AutoPlay cable/AutoPlay Hanger must be connected to button 1 input.

As standard the lighting outputs will activate according to the track being played, for example when track ‘001’ is being played, lighting output ‘1’ will activate. When track
‘002’ is being played lighting output ‘2’ will activate, and so on.
If in Looping Playback mode, the above will apply however should you have more than 8 tracks once tracks above ‘008’ are playing, all lighting outputs will activate.
When programming the lighting outputs, you will be programming how the SC-8L reacts to each track number 001
Any tracks above this number i.e. 009,
010, 011 etc. will by default activate all lighting outputs.
This means the lighting outputs will activate in the same manner whether track ‘001 buttons connected (1
– 008.
008’ are played in any modes.
To program the lighting outputs, you will need the number of tracks you wish to program (001-008) uploaded to the
MicroSD Card and an equal amount of
Enter this mode via the configuration switches located on the front of the SC-8L
(where the MicroSD Card is located).
Place dipswitch number 8 into the on
(down) position with the remaining dipswitches in the off (up) position. The status LED will flash.
– 8). Without these tracks button presses will not register any configured lighting.
Once in Light Configuration Mode the lighting configuration dipswitches located on the rear of the SC-8L become active.
You can configure a lighting sequence for each button.
This above configuration sequence sets light outputs 1, 3, 5 and 7 on.
To do this you must set your sequence
(like the one above) and assign it to a button. You can do this by pressing the button you want the sequence to link to.
Once pressed, the status LED flash will pause and save. You can use this process for each button. Once you’ve stored each sequence, turn the unit out of configuration mode by placing the number 8 dipswitch in the off (up) position and the status LED will stop flashing.
Note: The total draw on the light outputs for the SoundClip 8L is 500 mA. Meaning if your lighting output comes to over 500 mA, you must connect a second power supply to the external power connector or a relay (not supplied).
You can use the 8L with our Spotlights, these are available on our online store.
Note: One Spotlight uses the maximum wattage of the 8L.
11
If you wish to utilise more than one light at once, we recommend using our illuminated buttons which operate at a wattage of 10mA each.
You can supply your own LED strips, however please ensure this does not exceed the maximum wattage. Exceeding the stated amount will blow the power supply.
12
Following the ending of a track, the delay timer can be set to a maximum of 60 minutes and minimum of 5 seconds.
Whilst the unit is in delay mode, the green status LED will flash. Modes 2, 3, and 4 can use delay.
The Master Volume control is used to set the maximum volume level. If you do not use Volume Buttons this will be the volume set for all users.
However, if you do use the dedicated
Volume Button inputs, users will be able to increase / decrease the volume as they wish. In this case the Master Volume will set the maximum volume level users are able to reach with the Volume Buttons.
We suggest therefore when setting the
Master Volume, you connect Volume
Buttons and use the + button to increase the volume to the max, then adjust the
Master Volume control accordingly.
The SoundClip will remain at the volume last set using the Volume Buttons. It will not reset when powered down / on.
The red LED will be lit when the unit is powered.
The Green LED is lit when content is being played. It will also flicker on / off in
1 second intervals when the unit is in
‘Delay Mode’.
Buttons are simply wired directly to the screw terminals at each of the two inputs.
Pushbuttons work as standard with the player and are required to be the normally open ‘push to close’ type.
Piezo, vandal and water-resistant buttons can be purchased from our online shop if your installation requires a more robust switch
Other triggers can be connected such as a PIR or floor mat switch. If you want to attach different hardware to the
SoundClip, you need to ensure the device is compatible or uses optical or mechanical relays to isolate its circuitry.
The inputs are 5.5V maximum.
13
The SoundClip has been specifically designed to work with our AutoPlay range of handsets and headphones. These give the unique functionality of being able to lift the headphone or handset to automatically trigger your content. See the manual for your specific handset / headphone for in-depth connection instructions

The GPIO port can be used to connect power to another circuitry such as a sensor, LED’s or a sensor such as PIR.
If you have any trouble with the SoundClip unit, make sure your program files are correctly formatted. Performing an on / off reset may also resolve issues.
