Connecng Mulple BaseStaons
Tempest BaseStaons may be used together to form large wireless
systems, and may include external wired intercom systems. Intercom
audio for any or all channels can be linked across mulple BaseStaons.
Audio from one BaseStaon can be passed via a 2-Wire connecon
to another BaseStaon if they are to share a single channel of audio.
Through this method many complex combinaons of intercom channels
can be achieved.
Because all RF devices have the potenal to cause interference,
Tempest includes a feature called Accu-Sync™, designed to minimize
potenal interference when using mulple BaseStaons. BaseStaons
are synchronized via the Accu-Sync connecons on the back of the
BaseStaon.
See the Accu-Sync secon on for more informaon on using Accu-
Sync.
Tempest includes a Master Mode which provides required audio power
when only Tempest BaseStaons are linked without external intercom.
See the Master Mode secon.
A mul-base system will generally ulize Tempest Remote Transceivers to distribute the wireless signal, somemes
extending the number of users by overlapping the wireless coverage area, and somemes extending the wireless range
with the iSelect Roaming feature. In this applicaon always try to separate antennas by at least 10 feet whenever possible.
A 4-Wire matrix intercom system may be congured to connect to mulple Tempest BaseStaons so that all share the
same channels. Congure each BaseStaon individually as described in 4-Wire (Matrix) Intercom Interface. The following
informaon relates to mulple BaseStaon conguraons without a matrix system.
If intercom channels are connected across mulple BaseStaons without connecon to an
acve 2-Wire intercom, one of the BaseStaons must be placed into Master Mode.
If mulple BaseStaons are linked on a common audio channel, each BaseStaon must
be nulled separately. Null one BaseStaon at a me.
