Wired Interface Module (WIM)
The WIM 8 (8 line) and WIM 8(RD) (ring down) are very similar. The WIM 8(RD) is the same as the WIM 8 but with the
addition of integrated generators used for the ringdown circuits. Typically each X-System will have one WIM 8 (press box)
and one WIM 8(RD) (sideline). The WIM 8(RD) provides the interface between the stadium wiring and the system. That
interface is available via spring jacks or RJ-14s (4-wire RJ). The spring jacks are used for those instances when a user
needs to attach to bare stadium wire. The RJ-14s are the preferred method since they provide plug and play connectivity.
In addition to connecting to the stadium wiring, the WIM 8(RD) connects to the WAM 10 and the AudioCom
®
power supplies.
The WIM 8(RD) also provides connections for the local ringdown phone instrument, two flexible isolate/combine circuits,
and a monitoring port. During run mode, the LCD will display line status, and during test mode, the LCD will show detected
line faults.
