Clear-Com Tempest 900 Reference Manual

56 Tempest®900 4-Channel Wireless Intercom System
Split Mode
In Split mode, users are operang in a combinaon of Normal
and Shared mode. This mode oers the use of 4 BeltStaons (per
BaseStaon) that ulize the standard anyme talk back capability
and allows an unlimited number of “shared” BeltStaons to listen
and talk on the nal slot. In this mode, shared BeltStaons have
no control over which channel they operate on. The channel is
designated at the BaseStaon.
» Unlimited number of (shared) BeltStaons may be used
in addion to the 4 BeltStaons operang in Normal
mode; BeltStaons are inherently full duplex (talk/listen
at the same me) and are physically no dierent than a
BeltStaon operang in Normal mode.
» Shared BeltStaons operate in momentary talk mode;
only one shared BeltStaon may ulize the talk funcon
at any given me.
» Each BeltStaon is capable of features such as Stage
Announce, Wireless ISO, and Relays; however, each
acon takes up the only shared talk path so long as it is
triggered.
» Shared BeltStaons are unable to provide telemetry to
the BaseStaon or T-Desk, thus no BeltStaon sengs
can be adjusted from the BaseStation or T-Desk.
» Volume of the BeltStaon that is acvely talking is dynamically reduced to minimize the eect of echo. This
“Shared Audio” return can be disabled at the BeltStaon under the “Mode Sengs” menu.
