2-Wire Wiring Schemes
Wiring schemes vary, and it is important to ensure that the cables are wired correctly for proper system operation. When Tempest is congured
for a particular manufacturer’s system, Tempest routes the signal to internal circuitry that conforms to the requirements of that system. The 3-pin
XLR connectors on the back of the Tempest BaseStation can have very different characteristics depending on the setting of the slide switch, as
can be seen in the table below.

Note for 2-Wire RTS Users: RTS TW (2-Wire) systems support two intercom channels on a single XLR cable.
When connecting an RTS TW system, only one cable is required for two intercom channels. When set to RTS mode,
both of the 3-PIN XLR connectors (2 male and 2 female) for channels A&B are paralleled together. RTS intercom
channel 1 is placed on Tempest intercom channel A, and RTS channel 2 is placed on channel B.
Note for 2-Wire Clear-Com and Balanced (Audiocom) Users: For Clear-Com and Balanced 2-Wire intercoms,
use the A and B male or female 3-pin (XLR-3M/F) connectors on the rear panel to connect up to two intercom
channels. The male and female connectors for each channel are loop-through connections and are the same point
electrically. Each channel of a Clear-Com or Balanced 2-Wire system requires one separate cable for connection to
one Tempest channel.
