H-200 & H-200S PORTACOM HEADSETS
PortaCom comes with single-earpiece
(H-200S) and/or dual-ear-
piece
(H-200) headsets. To use plug the headset cable into the bot-
tom of the BP-200 Belt Pack. Adjust the headset listening level us-
ing the Headset Volume Control on the belt pack.
The headset’s female 4-pin XLR connector plugs into the 4-pin XLR
jack on the bottom of the belt pack. A wiring diagram of the head-
set connector is shown at right.
PC-100 POWER CONSOLE
The PC-100 Power Console can power up to 20 BP-
200 Belt Packs over a combined total of 2,500 feet of
cable. It has a power switch, an input for connecting
the AC adapter and four 3-pin XLR output jacks.
Using the RM-100 bracket you can mount one or two
PC-100s in a standard rack.
Belt packs are connected to the PC-100 using stan-
dard mic cable with 3-pin XLR connectors.
BP-200 BELT PACK
The BP-200 Belt Pack has a female, 3-pin XLR, Line
Input Jack and a male, 4-pin XLR, Headset Jack.
Both jacks are located on the bottom side of the belt
pack. Power is supplied through the microphone ca-
ble by the PC-100 Power Console.
The BP-200 controls can be found on the belt pack
top and feature:
• Headset Volume Control
• A/B Channel Switch
• Mic Mute Button
• Call Light & Button
The Headset Volume Control adjusts only the indi-
vidual headset listening level, not the volume level
of the entire system.
Setting the Mic Mute Button to “on” enables the
headset microphone. Setting the button to “off” will
short or mute the microphone. The Mic Mute Button
does not affect the headset listening volume.
Pushing the Call Button will light the Call Light on
all belt packs connected to the system. Use the Call
Light to alert any users who may not be wearing
their headsets.
WHAT IS PORTACOM?
PortaCom Intercom System is a portable two-channel communication device
that’s simple to set up and easy to use. The main system components include:
• PC-100 Power Console
• BP-200 Belt Packs
• H-200 & H-200S Headsets
Station-to-station connections are made using standard microphone cable with
3-pin XLR connectors.
The PC-100 Power Console has four output jacks to make a 4-headset system.
You can add more headsets/users to the system by using the B3-100 Branch
