Two modes are available:
• Auto: In this mode the ability to listen to 
one or both pins of a connected intercom 
circuit will only be active when the inter-
com interface circuit detects DC voltage 
on pin 2. This mode minimizes the chance 
that objectionable audio content (i.e., 
“howls” or “squeals”) will be routed to the 
headphones when an intercom circuit is 
not connected.
• Always On: In this mode audio from the
intercom interface will be routed to the 
headphone output (if selected) whether 
or not DC voltage is present on pin 2 of 
the intercom interface. This mode allows 
two channels of non-powered (“dry”) in-
tercom to be connected and routed to the 
headphone output. This mode would be 
appropriate if, for example, two indepen-
dent channels associated with two Clear-
Com intercom circuits were connected.
Multi-Unit Mode
Switch SW3-6 configures the way the Model 
240’s multi-unit mode functions. It is appli-
cable only when two Model 240 units are 
interconnected using the local data bus and 
audio from the main outputs are passively 
combined.
• Primary: In this mode the Model 240 be-
ing configured will serve as the primary 
unit in a 2-unit application.
Main Output 2 and Main Output 4 
Program Audio Sources
Switches SW3-7 and SW3-8 select the 
program audio sources for main output 2 
and main output 4. The choices are line 
input 1 and line input 2. (Note that line 
input 1 is always the program audio source 
for main output 1 and main output 3.)

audio to main output 2-4 modes)

Two modes are available:
• Secondary: In this mode the Model 240 
being configured will serve as the sec-
ondary unit in a 2-unit application. Select 
this mode if multi-unit operation is not 
implemented.
Program Audio to Main Outputs 1-4
Switches SW4-1 through SW4-8 select 
how program audio is routed to the four 
main outputs. Each main output can be 
configured independently.
