1. K LT T Voicebox 2011 with DTMF tones and Sequencer Hardware revision 1 0 User manual revision 1 2 Main features Thanks for buying Voicebox 2011 with D TM F tones and sequencer You purchased an advanced electronic device full of innovative features that will make the best out of your K I T T replica or that you can operate anywhere you find suits your needs Main features Audio input transformer for total isolation and safety of audio plant Trimmer for audio input volume sensitivity True miniature speaker 8ohm with magnetic coil no cheap piezo buzzer True linear audio amplifier for DTMF tones no square waves Trimmer for fine tuning amp gain for DTMF tones 4 step sequencer with DTMF tones on start up sequence Drives 4 external lamps for count down in sync with sequencer Knight Rider theme at start up can be enabled disabled at wish DTMF request input a momentary switch to ground on this input will have the voicebox produce a random DTMF tone for any button on your replica Inputs for Auto Normal Pursuit momentary switches They re are totally managed by voicebox circuitry with memory on the latest inserted function Can drive external lamps for P A N P keys without any external electronic 16 segments Bargraph 100 tv show accurate and not cheap 20 segments bargraph found elsewhere Hi Flux square extreme angle 120 leds with lens assure optimum illumination without circle shapes on indicators Overall dimensi2. o input The other trimmer DTMF sets volume gain of generated DTMF tones For basic use that s all you need to know Have fun Basic functions At start up voicebox plays knight rider theme from the tv show After the theme it emits a 4 step start up sequence with DTMF tones and lights up the 8 side lamps After that NORMAL CRUISE indicator gets lit as well Where there is an audio signal on AUDIO pads the triple bargraph vu meter will start flashing at the audio level with mirror visualization KIRR or KARR style depending on your model Advanced functions Advanced funcions are for advanced experienced users A wrong connection may damage Voicebox or external circuitry In case of doubts please contact us BEFORE trying something or linking two wires together Cut off initial theme from tv show If you don t like the inital theme from tv show it can be excluded by putting a wire jumper between the COM and GND pads Sometime you get the voicebox with this mod already done In this case no initial tune plays but you can recover it by cutting the jumper wire between COM and GND off You may also wire up an external switch between COM and GND so that this function can be activated deactivated at wish via the external switch When initial theme is off jumper wire present switch from COM to GND closed at start up the voicebox will go directly into the 4 step sequencing Shift between auto normal pursuit Please attach three no
3. ons compatible with Knight Rider World overlay BoBox K I T T or K A R R versions available at same price default KITT Led Bargraph led color red green or yellow at option same price default RED Compact design sandwich of only two boards not three as competitors Available ready to use or in assembly kit printed circuit board parts solder it yourself Please follow this user guide direction for optimal performance during use Wire connected directly on pads or through screw terminals General info about connections It is possible to connect directly copper wires by soldering ironing them to the pads on board Or you may solder screw terminals on pads and then use the screw terminals to secure copper wires Direct wires occupy less volume But screw terminals are somehow more practical Please specify what you prefer while ordering if you cannot later modify it back amp forth yourself using a soldering iron Basic use You only need 4 wires for basic use Power supply rated 12VDC or 13 8VDC between 12V and GND pads Please mind the correct polarity We suggest using red wire for 12V and black wire for GND This color scheme is standard among the industry Then you also need a audio source at speaker level to be connected between AUDIO pads We suggest gray wire for this connection Typically you just connect in parallel to the left speaker of your car audio system Trimmer AUDIO will fine tune the input sensitivity of audi
4. rmally open momentary switches to GND at AN P pads on the 4 pads group labelled DTMF AN P When you momentary close A to GND you shift to AUTO when you momentary close N to GND you shift to NORMAL when you momentary close P to GND you shift to PURSUIT At mode change a DTMF tone emits and the right lamp gets lit on and it mantain this status this voicebox stores in internal memory the latest state Please take a moment to differentiate between the A N P pads for the momentary switches and the A N P pads for the External Lamp Drive on opposite side BEWARE A wrong connection of external lamp where external switches are supposed or vice versa can damage voicebox DTMF tone request Voicebox can emit random DTMF tones at the request by an external momentary switch or other electronic devices via a relay or optocoupler Just connect a momentary switch that closes towards GND to the DTMF pad in the DTMF A N P group When the switch momentary closes the voicebox emits a random DTMF tone To connect other circuitry just use a normally open contact of a relay or the transistor side of an optocoupler Please don t connect external electronics direcly BEWARE Wrong connections on DTMF inputs can damage voicebox External Lamp Drive This voicebox can drive 4 external lamps for the count down sequence These will be in syne with initial start up sequence A typical use of this feature is to light up the count do
