Feature
Description
A
HMS-4X Main Station (digital main station) (rear panel).
There are two lines (digital partylines) on the main station, each of which can
support up to 10 digital HBP-2X beltpacks. There are two connectors (3-pin
XLR, male and female) for each line.
B
Daisy chained HBP-2X Beltpacks. To create a ‘daisy chain’ of connected
beltpacks:
Connect the first beltpack to the main station, using either of the 3-pin XLR
connectors (female or male) on the base of the beltpack.
Pass on the connection to the second beltpack, using the remaining connector
as the pass through.
Repeat for all beltpacks (up to 10) in the chain. No cable termination is required.
C
The second layout uses an XLR Bulkhead and a Mult-box (passive (Y) splitters)
to combine:
A daisy chain (with optional redundancy flyback).
Point-to-point connected beltpacks (using the Mult-box).
The complexity and variety of layouts does not restrict physical access to
channels.
Because HelixNet Partyline is a digital system, the HelixNet Stations can
access any of the available channels (plus a Program Feed), however they are
connected to the main station (see Figure 3-1: Analog and digital cabling
comparison).
