Clear-Com CS-100 User Manual

OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM
OPERATION OF THE CLEAR-COM SYSTEM IS QUITE SIMPLE, AS FOLLOWS:
1. CONNECT MAIN STATION to all remote stations with interconnecting cable.
NOTE: Before connecting rear panel interconnecting cables, shut power
off and hold call button depressed until call light(s} go out.
2. PLUG IN HEADPHONES at main station and remote stations into HEADSET CONNECTORS
at front panel. (To locate connectors and controls, see Figure l.)
Headset connectors in main station are wired in parrallel. Use one or both.
3. SE T I~ASTER GAIN SET at rear panel of main station for overall system level to
compensate
for number of remote stations in system. (CS-200 has one gain control
for each channel.) Under high noise conditions, turn master gain DOWN and speak
with microphone very close to the
mouth.
4. SET HEADSET VOLUME CONTROLS at main station and remote stations for individual
volume level. Volume controls are located on front panel.
5. TO SIGNAL stations where headphones may have been removed, press CALL BUTTON
on front panel and CALL LIGHT will go on. Call lights light up at all stations
simultaneously.
6.
THE AUXILIARY INPUT CONNECTOR on front panel of the main station provides for
external program feeding into the entire system. (See schematics for connecting
details). The AUXILIARY VOLUME CONTROL is located directly on top of the
auxiliary input connector and controls the auxiliary input volume to the system.
7. THE CS-200 MAIN STATION can communicate with two separate channels, A and B.
THE CHANNEL SELECT SWITCH which is located on the front panel of the main
station, can be switched to positions A, B or A + B. The A or B position
enables the
main station to communicate with either channel A or B, respectively,
while the A + B position enables the main station to communicate with both
simultaneously. Regardless
of the position of the switch, remote stations on
channel A can always talk to other remote stations on A, but A cannot communicate
with remote
stations on channel B, and vice-versa. Also, note that the call
lights are always operative from main station to both channels A and B, regardless
of the switch position.
8. CAUTION:
A} DO NOT allow belt packs to come into contact with other pieces
of electrical equipment. An improper ground or short in a piece
of electrical equipment touching a Clear-Com remote station can
cause a hum or a buzz in the system. When connecting remote
stations to electrical equipment, make sure the equipment is
properly grounded.
B} DO NOT wear the remote stations in wet weather without ensuring
that the station is properly grounded.
