environments. A second reason was that
applying customized labels to the button
caps would be very simple. The labels, text
printed on clear material, are placed under
the clear caps on the top of the buttons.
From the factory the left button is labeled
COUGH and the right button is labeled
TALKBACK. This was selected to be
appropriate for many on-air applications
in English-speaking locations. But it’s ex-
pected that these may need to be changed
to meet the needs of specific applications.
As a “head start” for some applications,
a clear sheet with a number of commonly
used button designations printed on it is
included in the shipping carton. These
were created at the factory using a stan-
dard personal computer graphics program
and laser printed onto 3M CG3300 or
equivalent transparency film. The desired
button labels can be cut out with a pair of
scissors, following the printed guide lines
that indicate the required size.
The clear lens on top of each button cap
can be removed with a fingernail or small
screwdriver. Be certain not to scratch the
button if a screwdriver or other small tool
is used. The clear label can be removed
and replaced. The button cap is then
snapped back into the top of the button
housing using finger-pressure only. No tool
is required to replace the button cap.
If you need to make your own labels the
process is quite simple. Use a personal
computer to create the desired text. The
finished label size should be 0.625-inches
(15.8 mm) square. The completed artwork
can then be printed on transparency film
sheets using a laser or inkjet printer. These
sheets are readily available from most
office supply stores. A pair of scissors or
an X-ACTO® knife will complete the task.
Configuration
For the Model 210 to support the needs
of specific applications a number of op-
erating parameters must be configured.
These include microphone preamplifier
gain, phantom power on/off, headphone
source selection, headphone stereo/
mono mode, and operating modes. Three
8-position DIP-type switch assemblies are
used to establish the desired configura-
tion. These switch assemblies are referred
to as SW1, SW2, and SW3, with individual
switches designated as SW1-1, SW1-2,
etc. The switch assemblies are accessed
through openings in the bottom of the
Model 210’s enclosure. The enclosure
does not have to be disassembled to gain
access to the switches.
To prevent unauthorized personnel from
changing the configuration settings, a se-
curity plate is attached to the bottom of the
Model 210’s enclosure. For convenience,
the security plate provides a summary of
the configurable parameters and related
information. Refer to Appendix A for a rep-
resentative view. The security plate is held
in place by means of four rubber bumpers
(“feet”) that have built-in screws. Using
your fingers, remove the four bumpers so
that the plate can be removed. Refer to
Figure 3 for a detailed view of the configu-
ration switch assemblies.
Microphone Preamplifier Gain
and Phantom Power
Five switches are used to set the gain of
the microphone preamplifier. One switch
is used to select the on/off status of the
phantom power supply.
