2.2.2.1 Tone/Recall Mode: For tone transmission, move the “TONE/RECALL”
switch (Fig. 1, #14) either right for intermittent tone or left for continuous tone. The
tone/recall LED (Fig. 1, #4) illuminates green when the DRS-100 is in intermittent
tone mode and red when in continuous tone mode.
Note: The volume control knobs do not affect the volume when using the tone/
recall feature. Transmit volume control is used to control the volume only when
in PTT or hand-held microphone mode. Tone/recall mode automatically puts full
power to the transducer.
2.2.2.2 Voice Communication: For voice communication to divers or swimmers,
set the transmitter volume (Fig. 1, #17) to about half volume. If you will use a
hand-held microphone (e.g., the HSM-10) with a push-to-talk (PTT) switch, insert
the microphone connector into the jack (Fig. 1, #15), depress the PTT button, and
talk into the microphone. Otherwise, press and hold the PTT switch (Fig. 1, #16)
and talk into the front-panel speaker (Fig. 1, #12). To increase the transmission
volume, rotate the transmit volume control (Fig. 1, #17) clockwise. Release the
PTT button when you have nished transmitting.
2.2.2.3 External Audio: To transmit audio from an external source, connect an
RCA plug leading from the source to the DRS-100’s “line-in” jack (Fig. 1, #11).
Note:
When a standard line-out source is connected to the “line-in” jack, the transmit-
ter activates. If your sound source has no DC path to ground (DRS-100 chassis
ground) via the output circuit of your device, you may need an adapter (OTS p/n
914024-000). Additionally, be careful not to allow salts, water, minerals, etc. to
build up around this jack, because they could cause the transmitter to activate
due to electrical conduction at the jack.
The line input connection will accommodate unbalanced line signals (2 V
PP
at
600 ohms). Any source level similar to this is suitable for driving the DRS-100
line input. The source must present a DC path of at least 15 Kohms to ensure
the transmit circuit activates.
2.2.3 RECORDING: To record audio signal received from the hydrophone or
that you transmit into the water, insert a male RCA plug into the record-out jack
(Fig. 1, #1). Connect the other end to your recorders microphone input.
