Remove the terminal cover prior to wiring the product. Reinstall the terminal cover after
the wiring is completed.
● When wiring to external contacts for the signal line, use non-voltage contacts such as a relay,
switch or an NPN open collector circuit. Refer to Chart 3 below for contact capacity.
● Use the recommended torque (0.3N・m) when tightening the terminal screws.

repair is needed, refer to [8. Before Requesting Repair]. For questions concerning our product
or for when repair is necessary, refer to the end of this document for contacting your nearest
PATLITE Sales Representative.
Be careful not to miswire this product. Possible miswiring can cause product failure or fire.
Be sure to stay within the operating voltage range. Possibility of fire, failure or malfunction may
occur.
Request the installation and wiring be performed by a professional contractor. Otherwise, there
is the possibility that fire, electric shock or falling from high places may result.
Install the product in accordance to the procedure below:
Drill mounting holes on a mounting surface (Board Thickness: 1mm - 10mm) with enough space

● Ensure the power has been disconnected before wiring. Possible electric shock may occur.
● Ensure the wiring is correct before connecting the power. Miswiring may result in failure or
product damage.
● To protect the power supply and other internal circuitry, be sure to connect an external fuse.
● Tighten the terminal screws with the recommended torque of 0.3N・m. Failure to
comply will cause risk of damage by short-circuiting if wiring comes off.
One of the following play modes indicated below can be selected by the Operation
Mode Switch.
[Factory Default Settings]
When up to 5 messages are registered, the Play Mode
is set to A.
When more than 5 messages are registered, the Play
Mode is set to B.
Use a flat-head screwdriver with the blade thickness of
1.0mm or thinner for turning the switch.
□ Selecting Play Mode
Change the operation mode switch to the desired play mode.
Selecting modes I,J,K,L,M,N,O and P will activate the test mode.
Reboot the product by re-inserting the power or by inserting the SD Card. It is
possible to reboot when the SD card is inserted, when after insertion an alarm
sound will indicate the information was read.
When the alarm sound plays, it has indicated that the mode has been changed.
Confirm the message to each channel has played, and the desired play mode was
changed.

● Confirm that polarities and rated voltages are correct before connecting the power supply.
● To countermeasure against interference noise, make wiring as short as possible and use
shielded wires whenever possible. In addition, separate any signal lines which pass along
high voltage cables or is susceptible to receive induction noises. Interference may influence
signal inputs and cause product malfunction.
● If a non-voltage contact, such as a relay or switch etc., is used for the power supply line,
consider inrush current capacity when selecting the contact. If the capacity is insufficient, it
will cause pitting or welding of the contacts, causing malfunction.
● Use M3 ring terminals with insulated coating when wiring to the terminal block to prevent
shorting any wire.
:
● To protect the power supply and other internal circuitry, be sure to connect an external fuse.
● Do not install the product in a location where vibrations exceeding the specifications exist. If
installing where vibrations do exist, install the product in the upright position to prevent the risk of
product detaching and it falling, causing injury to a passer-by, etc.
Contrary to Warnings and Cautions indicated in this document, product failure due to mishandling,
dissasembly, modifications or natural disasters, etc. is not covered by any Warranty. Moreover,
avoid any applications outside those indicated in this document.
● Do not use in an environment exposing strong radio waves or inductance noise. Noise may
be induced from the speaker horn causing malfunction or failure.
● Do not use in an environment where corrosive gas is present. Possible cause of failure may
occur.
● To prevent damage from static electricity, touch hands or other body parts to metals or an
earth ground to discharge the body from static charge before handling static sensitive parts,
such as the SD Card.
● Use the recommended torque when attaching parts for installation, etc.
● Be sure the power is disconnected before wiring or installing this product. Possibility of electric
shock may occur.
● Request the installation and wiring be performed by a professional contractor. Otherwise, there
is a possibility that fire, electric shock or falling from high places may result.
● If the power supply or signal lines are switched on simultaneously from multiple units,
their playback may not start at the same time.
● If the 0V terminal of the BKV-31JF is connected to the terminal COM, the influence of
interference is greatly increased.
● When this product is used for security purposes, it should be inspected daily. In case a
malfunction should occur, it is recommended that you use this product together with other
security products.
● Do not misplace parts, such as the terminal cover or front plate, while perfoming maintenance
or repair of the product to prevent possible damage.

locking adhesive, etc., to the mounting angle screws and periodically check it.
● When installing in high places, choose a location which is accessible by a scaffold, ladder, etc.,
Follow the procedure below to open or close the front cover
when performing tasks such as accessing the SD Card Slot,
Mode Selection Switch or adjusting the volume.
Remove the Front Cover (M3×6) Mounting Screw.

● Depending on the material quality and thickness of installation surface and volume,
the product may resonate and cause an oscillating sound. Take precautionary
measures to reinforce the clamp face.
Message Rewriting Procedure:
Turn on the power to the product and verify that neither the “COM” nor “CH” inputs are
short-circuited.
* The message rewriting cannot be done during voice playback or in
the test mode.
After opening the front cover and inserting the SD Card from which
the playlist and message data are to be written, a high-low beep will
sound to indicate rewriting has begun.
When a short beep sounds, it indicates the rewriting
sequence is completed, and the SD Card can be
removed.
* Rewriting should be completed within 60 seconds. The rewriting
is not successfully completed if beeping sounds other than
indicated above are heard, or when there is no response (See
Section “8. Before Requesting Repair”).
In addition, if the volume has been minimized, the beeping sounds
cannot be heard.
