3) Physically connect the HelixNet Partyline and Tempest systems.
Powering the connection:
Tempest has a Master Mode setting that supplies power to the two-wire connection.
In this case, no external power supply is required. Otherwise, you must power the
connection between the systems using either a dedicated power supply (such as the
PK-7, PS-702, or PS-704), or a powered Encore Main Station (such as the MS-702
or MS-704).
Tip:
For more information about the PK-7 or PS-70x power supply devices from Clear-Com, see
http://www.clearcom.com/product/partyline/power-supplies
Connecting to Tempest:
You can use standard microphone cable or CAT5 cable types to connect the HMS-
4X Main Station to the Tempest Basestation. 3-pin XLR connectors are located:
• On the HMS-4X Main Station two-wire interface module.
• On the back panel (rear) of the Tempest Basestation.
Tip:
Tempest provides two-wire input/output gain adjustments, and can be utilized to either
balance the gains between HelixNet and Tempest or connect two-wire system interfaces
through a Tempest base station.
4) Adjust the In / Out volume level controls on the Tempest Basestation. The In / Out
volume levels have the following ranges:
Volume level Range
In -18dB to +4dB
Out -18dB to +4dB
Table 13-2: Tempest Basestation In / Out volume levels
For more information, see your Tempest reference manual.
Tip:
To optimize audio quality, you may also want to adjust the Audio Settings on the
HMS-4X Main Station. For more information, see 4.2 Configuring the Audio settings.
