Figure 1-2: Possible Configurations with Two RCS-2700 Units
Other possible configurations include: 15 sources and 48 destinations (4 units),
8 sources and 72 destinations (3 units), and 15 sources and 72 destinations (6
units). Figure 1-3 illustrates all of the possible combinations of RCS-2700 units
with the correct unit numbers for each configuration.
For information on installing and wiring expansion units, and for setting unit
number addresses for each configuration, consult the Installation Chapter of this
manual.
ISO CHANNELS AND GROUPS
A single RCS-2700 unit has eight source channels available for use. If the main
source intercom station uses less than the eight available channels, the remaining
channels can still be used. For example, if a 4-channel MS-704 intercom station
provides the first four source channels, there will be four additional lines available
as source channels on the 8-channel RCS-2700.
These “virtual source channels” are called “ISO(lated)” channels, and the
destinations assigned to them are called “ISO” groups because they are not
connected to the main source intercom station. This in effect gives you four extra
channels to use, in addition to the four channels on the MS-704
source station,
offering a cost effective way to expand the functionality of your intercom system.
A typical application of an ISO channel is to allow two or three destinations to
talk to each other independently of the other destinations on a source channel.
To accomplish this, you assign the chosen destinations to an ISO channel as a
separate preset, or as a source/destination edit within the current preset.
A system can also be set up to work without a main station if all eight channels
are ISO channels. Destinations would be connected in the usual way and
assignments would be made between the eight ISO channels. System power is
still required.
