GPO Relay Contacts
Tempest Wireless provides six General Purpose Output (GPO) contact closures. These GPO contact closures can be used
for interfacing with other external devices. The Stage Announce (SA) Relay and the ve GPO Relays, one for each BeltSta-
on, are available through the DB-15 Relay Connector on the back of the Tempest BaseStaon. These relays can be trig-
gered from the wireless BeltStaons.
The SA Relay funcon in the Tempest BaseStaon is acvated by the STAGE buon. The SA Relay remains closed as long
as the STAGE buon is pressed.
The user can reassign the following BeltStaon buons and features to control an individual relay uniquely assigned to
that BeltStaon:
» Talk A
» Talk B
» Ch A
» Ch B
» Stage
» Enter
The relay is made when the assigned buon is pressed and remains closed for as long as the buon is pressed.
The individual GPO relay can also be triggered by the low baery level alert of the BeltStaon. In this case the relay is
made when the baery level of the BeltStaon reaches 10% and remains closed unl the baery is replaced or the Belt-
Staon is turned o.
All relay contacts can support 1 Amp at 30 VDC.
The relay completes a circuit. Tempest does not supply any power to the circuit.
Since every user will require a custom applicaon, cables for your RELAY connecons will require some bench work.
