When first time registering it is advisable to register first radio R1, then switch off the registered
beltpacks and now proceed with the R2 beltpacks.
Powering the bases are the same as habitual in ALTAIR intercoms. You can choose between
powering each station individually or from a remote line from another station or a combination of
both.
NOTE:
Please remember to configure the MASTER/SLAVE switches accordingly when connect
intercom lines between bases. One must be configured as Master and the remaining as Slaves.
SYSTEMS WITH MORE THAN 20 WIRED BELTPACKS
It is possible connect two master stations (WBS-202) in installations where it is necessary
work with more than 20 wired beltpacks (EM-201), with their lines in parallel (A with A and/or B
with B), always having the caution of opening the terminal impedance (in order to obtain more
information, consult the special operation section), of the secondary master station lines that
serves us simply how power reinforcement. In this type of operations, the master station unit is
connected at the beginning of the intercom chain, and the secondary unit at the end of this line, in
this way, we will reinforce the beltpack units power placed to the other end of the primary master
station unit.
5. OPERATION
The WB-200 series wireless intercom systems are designed to allow maximum easy
communication operations between the different control areas in music or theatre live performances,
television, cinema, conference halls, and whatever broad events where multiple and fast
communications are required, by means of its simultaneous listening-speaking operation.
The system comprises a powered base station WBS-202 and battery powered single channel
WBP-200 beltpacks and dual channel WBP-202 “Manager” beltpacks.
Base station is designed to operate in stand alone or “Master” mode enabling full duplex clear
and secure communication with up to 8 beltpacks and the base operator in simultaneous party line
mode. For large system operation, the unit can be used in “Slave” mode by wiring units across the
coverage area, so expanding the number of wireless users in a cellular arrangement.
Base unit comprises 2 radio blocks. Each block can link up to 4 single channel beltpacks or 1
dual channel beltpack plus up to 3 single channel ones. Each block is assigned to each intercom
channel A and B respectively having independent channel operation. In the case that it is desired to
operate in the same channel, the base incorporates a single switch “R2 channel select” allowing all
the 8 wireless beltpacs operating in the same channel, ChA.
Stage announces can be carried out from the base operator or from the “Manager” WBP-202
beltpacks by connecting the SA output to the corresponding equipment.
Depending of the installation, base stations can also be powered remotely from a wired EF-200
base station. The base incorporates party line outputs to drive standard EM-201 wired beltpacks.
The wired connection is compatible with Espiral™, Clear-Com™ and similar compatible 2 and
4 wire systems.
The global all mic (Mic-Kill) and buzzers (Buzz-Kill) mute systems in both channels, allow
controlling the line noise, as well as the ambient noise.
HEADSET CONNECTION
A XLR-4 type connector (XLR-4-32) and a TINY Q-G type connector wired in parallel mode,
allows connecting a headset with microphone to the master station. The headset impedance must
