46 Tempest®24 00 2 -Channel Wireless Intercom System
Call Functi on
There are two call methods available in Tempest. The fi rst uses the CALL butt on to send call signals to any BeltStati on or
hardwired user on the acti ve channel. The second method is referred to as “Call On Talk” and uses the BeltStati on TALK
butt on to initi ate a call signal. However, the “Call On Talk” feature works independently from all other BaseStati on call
setti ngs and can be used to send call signals through intercom channels to att ached radios or matrix.
To enable the CALL butt on, press MENU, select “Set Controls,” select “Call Butt on,” and select Enable . This is the default
setti ng.
To set the “Call Alert” preference, press MENU, select “Set Controls,” and select “Call Alert.” Choose to receive a call signal
alert with an Audible tone in the headset, or with a vibrati on of the BeltStati on or Both . The default setti ng is Both .
To initi ate a call, select a channel for talking with the CH A or CH B butt ons and acti vate the TALK butt on. Press and hold
CALL for as long as you want the call signal to go out on the channel. A call signal will be received by users who are listening
on the same channel that originates the call signal.
To enable the “Call on Talk” feature, press MENU, select “Set Controls”, then “Talk Butt ons”, then “HW Call on Talk”, and
select Enable . The default setti ng is Disable .
Program Volume Control
Auxiliary IN can be used to bring program or other audio into the Tempest BaseStati on. Audio from the Aux IN port is routed
only to wireless users and is not routed out to the hardwired system.
Program Volume allows each BeltStati on to control the mix of program audio (Aux IN) it receives from the BaseStati on.
To enable “Program Volume”, press MENU, then “Set Controls”, then “Program Volume” and select one of three opti ons:
1. Off - the BeltStati on receives no program audio.
2. Absolute - the BeltStati on receives program audio at a level independent of the intercom levels.
3. Relati ve - the BeltStati on receives program audio at a level relati ve to the maximum intercom volume setti ng, regardless of
channel. Scroll to the opti on that applies to your applicati on and press ENTER to save. Your selecti on will be indicated
with a checkmark to the left of the selecti on.
To adjust the Program Volume on the BeltStati on, hold the ENTER butt on and then turn either of the volume knobs. The
display screen will display “Program Vol” and the numeric level of the volume.
A call signal from the CALL butt on is sent only when the Talk butt on is
enabled, and only on the channel selected for Talk.
When “Relati ve” is selected, the program volume is relati ve to the highest
level intercom channel on the BeltStati on. Thus, when listening to program
audio when intercom volume on channel A was at 15 and channel C was at
10, the program volume would be 15. If that intercom level is lowered
below 10, then your new program volume would then correspond to
channel C’s volume level (10).
