Tempest900 2-Channel Operating Manual
Modes of Operation
Tempest Wireless BaseStations offer 3 modes of operation: Normal, Shared, and Split Mode. The mode of operation can be set by going into
menu mode on the BaseStation. Press MENU and select “Mode Settings,” then “Operational Mode.”
Note: In addition to the BaseStation, the BeltStations must be set into “Shared” mode to use with either Shared or Split
modes of operation.
Normal Mode
In Normal mode, users can have up to 5 BeltStations (per BaseStation). All BeltStations
in this mode are in the standard operating mode, giving the user control of the channels
on which they operate and dual listen/talk functionality at any given time.
• Each BeltStation is full duplex with dedicated anytime talk back capability.
• BeltStation talk buttons may be operated in either momentary or latching mode.
• Sidetone may be set individually for each BeltStation from -6dB to -30dB.
• Full BeltStation telemetry is available real-time at the BaseStation and T-Desk;
these settings can be adjusted from the BaseStation and/or T-Desk.
Shared Mode
The Shared mode utilizes only BeltStations set into “shared” mode via the BeltStation
menu. This mode allows an unlimited number of BeltStations to listen, but only 5 shared BeltStations can talk (in momentary mode) at any
given time; however, they can control the channels in which they operate.
• “Shared BeltStations” are physically no different than a normal BeltStation.
• Shared BeltStations operate in momentary talk mode; no more than 5 talk paths may
be used at any given time.
• Each BeltStation is capable of features such as Stage Announce, Wireless ISO, and
Relays; however, each action utilizes one of the ve available talk paths so long as it is
triggered.
• Shared BeltStations are unable to provide telemetry to the BaseStation or T-Desk, thus
no BeltStation settings can be adjusted from the BaseStation or T-Desk.
• Shared Audio is, by default, disabled at the BeltStation. When Shared Audio is OFF
and the BeltStation user presses Talk, they will only hear sidetone. This is similar to a
Simplex audio mode of operation. When Shared Audio is ON and the BeltStation user
presses Talk, they will hear a slight echo of themselves, as well as any other listeners
on that channel. Volume of the shared BeltStation that is actively talking is dynamically
reduced to minimize the effect of this echo. Shared Audio can be enabled and disabled
at the BeltStation under the “Mode Settings” menu.
