19 Tempest®900 2-Channel Wireless Intercom System
BeltStation Overview
1- Volume- CH A and CH B
In Operational Mode, turning the Volume control adjusts the volume of
the audio. Volume indicators appear on the display during adjustment
and are expressed in Decibels (dB).
The Volume control has an option to be set to “Volume Press” where it
requires a “press and turn” to adjust the volume level. The “Volume Press”
option can be adjusted under the “Set Controls” section of the BeltStation
menu.
Pressing the Volume control in “Dual-listen” mode does nothing. In
“Single-listen” mode, pressing “CH A” enables channel A, and pressing “CH
B” enables channel B . The Volume control has a channel “Delay Switch”
option which requires the knob to be pressed and held slightly longer in
order to switch from one channel to the other. This feature can be enabled
under the “Set Controls” section of the BeltStation menu.
In Menu Mode, turning either Volume control allows the user to scroll the
options of the current menu screen. Pressing the Volume control selects
the option.
2- Stage Button
The Stage Announce (STAGE) button re-routes the microphone signal of the BeltStation from the selected intercom channel
to the BaseStation rear panel Stage Announce (SA) output connector. If desired, when this button is pressed, a momentary
relay contact closure is made at the Relay connector. See the section on GPO Relays.
Pressing the Stage Announce button automatically enables the microphone, regardless of Talk Button status. The Stage
button settings may be adjusted at the Stage Announce menu screen under the “Set Controls” section of the BeltStation
menu.
3- MENU Button
Pressing MENU while the BeltStation is in Operational mode will select Menu Mode, and the Main Menu screen will be
displayed. Once in Menu Mode, pressing MENU again will act as an escape key and will back out of the current menu screen
moving the user up one level. Pressing the MENU button while at the Main Menu screen will exit Menu Mode and return
to Operational mode. The menu can be locked via a “Menu Lock” feature per BeltStation.
4- ENTER Button
The ENTER button operates differently depending on the mode of the BeltStation. In Menu Mode, pressing the ENTER
button selects the current menu option and is the same as pressing a Volume control. A menu item is not selected until the
ENTER button (or Volume control) is pressed.
The ENTER button can also activate Wireless ISO (wireless talk around), providing wireless communication isolated from
any connected wired intercom system.
The ENTER button is also one of the buttons that can be assigned to activate a Relay in the BaseStation. It is possible to
activate the Relay whenever the Wireless ISO feature is used.
5- LCD
While in Operational Mode, the LCD displays the status of the BeltStation including the name of the currently communicating
BaseStation, RF strength, battery level, and other data. The LCD backlight and contrast can be adjusted from the LCD
Adjustments menu screen under the LCD/LED section of the BeltStation menu.
