9- BeltStation Program Connector
The BeltStation Program connector is used to pair the BaseStation with BeltStations. To pair the BaseStation with a particular BeltStation,
ensure that the BaseStation is powered ON and in Operational Mode (not in Menu Mode). Ensure that the BeltStation is powered OFF. Plug
one end of the pairing cable into the BaseStation, and plug the other end of the pairing cable into the BeltStation. Turn the BeltStation power
ON by pressing and holding the BeltStation Power ON/OFF switch for two seconds. The pairing process happens automatically and the message
“Pairing Complete” will appear on the BeltStation LCD for approximately three seconds when done.
10- Power ON/OFF Switch
The ON/OFF switch is used to turn the BaseStation power (AC or DC) ON and OFF.

1- AC Power Input Connector
The IEC AC Power Input Connector accepts the AC power cord. Use this connector with the supplied AC power cord to power the Tempest
BaseStation from AC power between 85 and 260 VAC at 50 – 60 Hertz. The BaseStation will draw approximately 15 Watts (125mA at 120VAC,
65mA at 230VAC).
2- DC Power Input Connector
The DC Power Input Connector accepts a Switchcraft S760 2.1mm x 5.5mm power plug wired as center positive. Use this connector with a user-
supplied cable to power the Tempest BaseStation from DC power (battery) between 11 and 32 VDC. The BaseStation will draw approximately 12
Watts (990 mA at 12VDC).
3- Intercom Channel A/B Connectors
The Intercom Channel connectors (A/B) allow the user to connect the Tempest BaseStation to 2-Wire external intercom systems or other Tempest
BaseStations. The XLR-3M/F 2-Wire intercom connectors interface with Clear-Com, RTS, Balanced and other compatible intercom systems. The
pairs of XLR3-M and XLR-3F are electrically identical.
4- RJ-45 4-Wire Intercom A/B Connectors
The RJ-45 4-Wire Intercom connectors (A/B) interface with 4-Wire intercom systems and devices. This is an intercom audio-only connector and
does not support data transfer. The connector is balanced and transformer isolated. Nominal line levels are -18 to +4 dB (IN) and -6 to +12 dB
(OUT).
