Overview
The console can be configured with a variety of communication options. The standard
options are desk microphone, gooseneck microphone, or PTT handset with cradle, and/or
headset. A PTT footswitch is also available to control transmissions.
Installation Sequence
Prior to installation, you are encouraged to review this manual as well as the Operator’s
Manual. This will help your understanding of the system and will ease the installation.
This manual is laid out section-by-section, in the sequence in which the system should be
installed. If you should need help during installation, call Zetron.
Planning
Installation begins with planning the system layout. It is best to consider carefully
the placement of the console and its options, the wiring to a punch-down block,
and to the radios. The channel I/O connectors are laid out with four channels per
the 50 pin Amphenol-type connector and one punch-down block is required per
four channels.
Mapping
Card-slot mapping allocates a particular channel and console card slot to your base
stations. It also creates a cross-reference between the channel and position names
that you are familiar with. After the card-slots have been mapped, the channel and
console should be configured using their various jumpers and switches.
Wiring
After the system has been configured, then wiring of the system may begin. The
system will require wiring between the Console and any punch-down block, the
radio base station, and between the consoles and their various accessory options
(microphones, recorders, encoders, etc.).
Testing
When planning, mounting, configuring, and wiring have been completed, the
system is ready for its first installed test. The components have been tested at the
Zetron factory, but it is necessary for you to perform a preliminary system check in
order to verify the proper configuring and wiring.
Level Setting
The last step is to adjust the audio levels in the system. Adjustments must be per-
formed for the receive and transmit audio levels at every channel, and audio levels
within the console.
