What is the Audio Solar Post?
Activated either by two external buttons, or an infrared motion sensor, the solar powered Audio Post is a self-powered audio sound store, capable of holding two audio messages. We also provide the option to buy the internal electronics separately. See the Audio Solar Electronics page.
How Does it Work?
The Audio Solar Post is powered by 4 solar panels, housed behind a stainless steel grille. The panels are angled in such as way as to provide optimal exposure to sunlight throughout the day. With the 2 button option, users are able to select which message they wish to hear whilst using a motion sensor means that the device will play automatically, alternating between the two messages with each use if required. Additional features include 4 volume options and the ability to obtain playback statistics, in audio format, to see how many times the unit has been used. With the additional purchase of a Programmer, customers can easily load new content when they desire.
How is it Fitted?
Smaller units can be fitted onto a wall or on top of existing way markers. Tall posts can be fixed to the floor, a ground plinth or mounted into concrete.
What is the Maximum Length of Each Message?
The two button Audio Solar Post will store up to 12 minutes of audio content, which can be split between the two buttons. For example, 6 minutes per button or 4 minutes on button one and 8 minutes on button two. This length is also determined by the audio recording level:
At 11 kHz, you can record a total of 24 minutes of audio.
At 22 kHz, you can record a total of 12 minutes of audio.
Remember though, a person’s attention span when listening to such apparatus is usually no more than 1 to 2 minutes per message.
