Intercom connectivity

The CopperHead Pro Base Station is delivered pre-configured for compatibility with either
"Two-Wire" or "Four-Wire" intercom systems, which can be identified by the XLR connector:

Four-Wire Interface: connects a Base Station to four-wire intercom systems (ex. matrix-

style systems).

Two-Wire Interface - RTS or Clear-Com (switchable): connect the CopperHead Pro Base

Station to a two-wire intercom system like any other intercom component (such as a
belt pack or station). Internal dip switches (see

Figure 4-9

) are used to set the two-wire

intercom configuration.

The system is delivered from the factory configured as requested by the end-user or
dealer. An adhesive label on the rear of the unit identifies the factory setting (C-C, RTS1,
RTS2, 4W).
