PANEL MICROPHONE GAIN
The preamplifier gain of the panel microphone can be adjusted over a
range of 0 to 10 dB; the maximum is the panel microphone gain’s
default setting. However, if two panels are talking to each other at the
same time with the panel microphone gain set to maximum, feedback
may occur even if the speaker mute (see “Speaker Mute”) is set to
maximum. In this case, it will be necessary to turn the panel
microphone gain down. Similarly, in some noisy environments it may
be necessary to turn the panel microphone gain down and have the
operator talk more closely into the microphone.
Refer to the Eclipse Configuration System Instruction Manual for
instructions on adjusting panel microphone gain.
SPEAKER DIM
When a panel microphone and a speaker are used together, feedback
is possible. To reduce this possibility, the panel software will mute (turn
down) the speaker level by some predetermined amount when both
the microphone and speaker are enabled. The speaker mute can be
adjusted from 0 to 15 dB; its default setting is 6 dB.
Refer to the Eclipse Configuration System Instruction Manual for
instructions on muting the speaker.
PAGE VOLUME LEVEL
When Page Override is assigned to a label, the audio level at the
destination panel(s) is predetermined. This function allows talking to
someone even if his panel’s volume control is off. Two things will
happen when a panel activates such a label:
• If the destination speaker was off, it will turn on.
• The panel(s)’s speaker output will be at the predetermined level
regardless of the “Intercom” volume control setting, unless this
control is set higher than the predetermined level.
The page volume level can be adjusted within a range of 0 to 10,
equivalent to the front-panel control settings of 0 equals off and 10
equals full pot. The page volume level’s default setting is 5.
Refer to the Eclipse Configuration System Instruction Manual for
instructions on using Page Override.
CONFIGURATION
Assign each panel’s name and other parameters by using the Eclipse
Configuration System Program (see Eclipse Configuration System
Manual
for more information). Also refer to the Operation chapter for
details regarding the configuration options available from the
ICS-2003’s menus.
