 Features

This single circuit wall station is connected to the system via 
the available screw terminal connector PL1. (See diagram 1)

Headset operation

A Tecpro compatible headset, wired as in diagram 2 
(as appropriate), should be plugged into the 4 pin XLR 
connector on the front of the station. Located on the front 
panel, the “MIC” button activates the headset mic to speak 
to the system when depressed. The volume control can be 
adjusted for a comfortable listen level.

Side-tone adjustment

The level of user’s voice in the headset is called ‘side-tone’. 
The required level can be set by adjusting the side-tone 
control VR3 on the rear panel with a small screwdriver.

Signal light operation

The CALL pushbutton flashes a light in all outstations 
connected to the circuit. It is used to attract the attention 
of a user that has the headset removed or volume level 
turned right down.

ClearCom Compatibility

Tecpro stations are completely compatible with Clear-
Com stations. Any Tecpro stations added to Clearcom will 
function as their Clear-Com equivalents. However, Clear-
Com stations have a lower bridging impedance and will 
degrade a Tecpro system slightly due to a reduction in side-
tone stability incurred when a Clear-Com outstation is used 
in a Tecpro communications system. The front panel houses 
the mic select and call buttons and headphone volume.

Microphone Select

Press the “MIC” button briefly and it will illuminate Red. 
This action switches on the mic circuitry and allows 
the operation of other functions. To switch off the mic 
circuitry press the “MIC” button briefly again. The lamp 
within the button will extinguish. Holding the “MIC” button 
continuously keeps the mic circuitry alive for the duration 
of the press.

Call send

Ensure that a “MIC” circuit has been selected and that its 
associated lamp is illuminated. Press the “CALL” button 

briefly. This will cause the lamps on all other beltpacks on 
the same circuit to flash for approximately one second. The 
button will also illuminate red. A tone of similar duration will 
sound in the headphones.

Remote Mic Kill send

Ensure mic circuits have been de-selected.
Depress the “CALL” button briefly three times. It will 
illuminate for approximately two seconds. During this time, 
briefly press the “MIC” button to switch off all mics on  
that circuit.

All settings revert to default when power is removed

Default settings

1. Call alert tone ON/OFF - ON.
2. Bright or dim LED’s - bright.
3. Disable or enable mic - ENABLED.

HS581

Only one circuit is connected and active.

is re-connected with the volume control on maximum but 
the headset not being worn.
