and con trols head set vol ume for In ter com Chan nels “A” and “B”. Ei ther knob, “A” or “B”, turns the beltpack on. Both knobs must be off to turn the beltpack off. If only one knob is off, then only that In ter com Chan nel, “A” or “B” is off for both trans mit and re ceive au dio.

2. Wire less Talk Around (WTA) - When pressed, the user’s au dio is dis con nected from the wired in ter com, aux il iary in put/out put and the base sta tion’s lo cal head set. Other beltpack us ers, on that au dio chan nel, can hear the user as nor mal. The de fault set ting is soft ware selectable, as to which In ter com Chan nel, “A”, “B”, “A + B”, or cur rently se lected chan nel, is ac ti vated along with the “WTA” but ton. The “WTA” but ton ac ti vates the nearby red LED as well as the soft ware se lected In ter com Chan nel “TALK” LED if not al ready ac tive.

3. Stage An nounce (SA) - When pressed, the user’s au dio is routed to the stage an nounce con nec tor on the back of the base sta tion. The user also loses their sidetone as an in di ca tion that stage an nounce is ac ti vated. The other wire less beltpacks and wired us ers do not hear the user’s au dio. The but ton is non-latching and ac ti vates the nearby red LED.

4. Talk But ton - Press to en able the au dio path to ei ther In ter com Chan nel “A” or “B” or “A + B”, from the lo cal head set mi cro phone. The as so ci ated “TALK” LED, #6, will turn red when en abled. A quick press and re lease latches the talk func tion, un less latch ing has been dis abled. Holding the but ton for over ½ sec ond, will cause the au dio path to be en abled only for as long as the but ton is held. If the talk func tion is latched on, press ing the talk but ton again will turn it off.

5. Low Bat tery/Overmodulation (BAT/OM) Light - Light will flash once when unit is turned on if the bat tery is good. If the light stays on, bat tery is low. If the light does not flash, bat tery is dead. A nor mal mi cro phone gain set ting will cause the LED to flash at the be gin ning of most words at nor mal speech lev els. If the gain is too high, the LED will be red dur ing the com plete word at nor mal speech lev els.

6. Talk Light - Will turn red when en abled by as so ci ated “TALK” or “WTA” but ton.

Base Sta tion - Rear Panel

Lo ca tion

Lo cate the base sta tion with the front and rear of the unit ac -- ces si ble so that switches may be set and con nec tions made. Place the trans mit and re ceive an ten nas on the base sta tion. Make sure the an tenna’s color band match the color dot near each an tenna. See “An tenna In for ma tion” sec tion for more in -- for ma tion on choos ing a proper op er at ing lo ca tion.

Power Con nec tion

Plug the sup plied power cord into the unit. The base sta tion has an IEC power re cep ta cle that ac cepts 100 – 240 VAC, 50 – 60 Hz. The spe cific re cep ta cle type is an IEC 60320/C14. The cord it ac cepts is an IEC 60320/C13. These cords are com mon and avail able through many re tail hard ware/elec tronic stores if the cord is lost.

Trans mit Switches

There are two switches lo cated on the lower left side of the rear panel. The up per switch sets the trans mit power lev els to high or nor mal. The lower switch turns the trans mit ters on or off.

Trans mit Power

Set the power level to nor mal if us ing the beltpacks at close to me dium dis tances (<200 feet, 161m, line-of-sight) from the base sta tion. Set the power level to high if us ing the beltpacks at a dis tance (>200 feet, 161m, line-of-sight) from the base sta tion.

On/Off

Set the trans mit ter switch to on for nor mal use. In the off po si tion both base sta tion trans mit ters are dis abled. Set -- ting the switch to off will dis able all the beltpacks from hear ing any one else or even their own sidetone.

In ter com Switch

In ter nal to the WBS-680 are two trans mit switches which en -- able a user to turn on or off the two trans mit ters in di vid u ally. See Fig ure 19 for the lo ca tion. The top cover of the base station must be re moved for ac cess. The switch clos est to the front panel con trols trans mit ter 1 (au dio chan nel A). The switch be hind that is trans mit ter 2 (au dio chan nel B). The de -- fault switch po si tion is to the left if you are fac ing the front of the base sta tion. This is the “ON” po si tion for the trans mit ters.

In the nor mal use of the WBS-680, there is no need to ac cess these switches. They are used to test the trans mit ters in di vid u -- ally at the fac tory.

The Clear-Com Wire less sys tem can be in ter faced to Clear-Com, RTS, Audiocom® (Telex), Ma trix and other in ter -- com (I/C) sys tems. Set the In ter com switch on the rear of the unit to the ap pro pri ate sys tem and con nect the sys tem to the base sta tion. The two in ter com chan nels on the rear of the base sta tion have loop-thru male and fe male XLR con nec tions for two-wire sys tems and RJ-45 type jacks for four-wire sys tems.

This switch only af fects the two-wire in ter com sys tems. The func tions of the I/C XLRs change de pend ing on the in ter com se lected. Please see Sec tion 12 for pinout in for ma tion of the dif fer ent two-wire in ter com sys tems.

In ter com In ter face

Clear-Com and Telex (Audiocom®) in ter com sys tems re quire one ca ble for in ter com A and one ca ble for in ter com B in or -- der to in ter face two chan nels of in ter com to the base sta tion.

This in ter fac ing is done through the I/C A and B 3-pin XLR con nec tors on the rear of the unit.

RTS TW in ter coms only need to con nect one 3-pin ca ble to one of the four in ter com XLR con nec tors since two chan nels of au dio are car ried on one ca ble. The in ter com switch par al -- lels the four XLR con nec tors when in RTS mode. RTS chan -- nel 1 is placed on in ter com A and RTS chan nel 2 is placed on in ter com B as long as the RTS TW in put to the base sta tion is wired as in Sec tion 12.

Base Sta tion - Rear Panel

This RJ-45 type jack al lows the con nec tion of wire less talk around (WTA) to two base sta tions. This al lows WTA on I/C chan nel A and WTA on I/C chan nel B to be the car ried through to the other base sta tion at tached to gether via this jack.

WTA chan nel A and chan nel B is “con tained” within a base sta tion un less the trans mit power is off. If it is off, the WTA au dio is routed through the base sta tion link ca ble to the other base that has its trans mit ters on.

A ca ble to ac com plish this task is NOT sup plied, but can eas -- ily be made with com mon cat e gory 5 (CAT-5) wir ing.

In fact, the most com mon 10BaseT ether net patch ca bles, 568-B wired ca bles, can be used to con nect bases to gether. The re quired ca ble is shown be low.

The reg u lar two-wire in ter com chan nels are passed from base to base via the wired in ter com ca bles and do not re quire the base sta tion link ca ble.

Fre quency Plan Over view

The WBS/WTR-680 has 36 fac tory-defined fre quency groups and 12 user-programmable fre quency groups. A Group de -- fines the two base-station trans mit fre quen cies and thus the two re ceive fre quen cies on all the beltpacks. A Chan nel de -- fines a base-station re ceive fre quency and thus a beltpack trans mit frequency. A base-station re ceive chan nel that does not have a fre quency set for it will have a dash to the right of it on the Group/Chan nel se lect screen. De tails on set ting fre -- quen cies may be found in the “WBS-680 Menu Struc ture” and “WTR-680 Menu Struc ture” in struc tions in this sec tion.

Fac tory-Defined Groups

The 36 fac tory-defined groups were care fully cho sen to avoid cer tain intermod prod ucts and var i ous other pos si ble sources of in ter fer ence. The Groups are set and can not be changed. A lim ited num ber of chan nels can be chosen from within these groups.

The first 24 factory-defined groups (01A – 12B) are “pair” groups that can be used for sin gle (up to 4 beltpacks) and dual (up to 8 beltpacks) WBS-680 sys tems. They are ar ranged 01A, 01B, 02A, 02B…011B, 012A, 012B. A “pair” group, like 1A and 1B, have dif fer ent base-station transmit fre quen -- cies, how ever, they both have the same eight base-station re -- ceive chan nels from which to choose. Each chan nel rep re sents a unique fre quency. For ex am ple, one WBS-680 could be set on Group 02A and chan nels 01, 02, 03 and 04. The other WBS-680 could be set on Group 02B chan nels 05, 06, 07 and

08. As long as the chan nels are dif fer ent, everything should be fine.

Sys tem Quick Start

Fol low the list be low to quickly get a base sta tion and beltpack(s) op er at ing. When com pleted the user should have a base sta tion and 1 to 4 beltpacks up and run ning with full op er -- a tional abil ity. The base sta tion will be on Group 01A with its four re ceiv ers on chan nels 01, 02, 03 and 04. Each beltpack will be on Group 01A with a unique trans mit chan nel num ber match ing one of the base sta tion re ceive chan nels.

1. Plug-in the base sta tion via the sup plied power cord and con nect the an ten nas. The color dots on the base should match the color rings on the an ten nas.

2. Base-station rear-panel switches: Trans mit power set to High and on.

3. En sure base-station rear-panel IC switch matches at tached wired in ter com sys tem. If used stand alone or con nected to a 4-wire sys tem then IC switch po si tion is Not Ap pli ca ble.

4. Press [MENU] as pow er ing-up the base sta tion. This will place it on group 01A and set the re ceives on chan nels: 01, 02, 03, and 04.

5. Place the front-panel IC A and IC B “IN” and “OUT” level con trols in the 12 o’clock po si tion. Check that front-panel IC A and B is in 2-wire for Clear-Com, AudioCom® (Telex), and RTS - TW wired sys tems, and 4-wire for ma trix and stand-alone op er a tion.

6. Place bat ter ies in the beltpacks.

7. Re move the rear switch cover on the beltpacks. Set the

beltpack rear-panel slide switch to push-to-talk (PT TALK).

The next 12 groups (13 – 24) are sin gle groups that primarily are used for sin gle (up to 4 beltpacks) WBS-680 sys tems. The num ber of chan nels from which to choose from in these groups will vary from group to group.

User-Programmable Groups

The 12 user-programmable groups are ini tially empty. The trans mit and re ceive fre quen cies are fully editable within these groups. In fact, fac tory-defined groups may be cop ied to user-programmable groups and then ed ited if de sired. See the “WBS-680 Menu Struc ture” and “WTR-680 Menu Struc ture” in struc tions in this sec tion for de tails on how to copy and edit fre quen cies.

8. Press [MENU] as pow er ing-up each beltpack. This will place the beltpack on group 01A with the chan nel 01 flash ing.

9. Use the [UP] and [DOWN] ar row but tons to change the chan nel to match a channel on the base sta tion. Then press [SET]. If leav ing on chan nel, just press [MENU]. Each beltpack should have a unique chan nel num ber.

10. The group/chan nel on the beltpack should now match the group and a re ceive chan nel on the base sta tion. Noth ing should be flash ing on the beltpack screens.

11. Plug head sets into the beltpacks and set the mi cro phone gain so the BAT/OM LED will flash at the be gin ning of most words at nor mal speech lev els.

DONE.

If the base sta tion is used stand-alone, with no wired in ter com sys tem con nected, it must be set in the 4-wire mode. The 2-wire mode re quires that a wired in ter com sys tem or ap pro -- pri ate load be con nected to the in ter com A or B XLRs. If not loaded, a large gain in crease will take place in the un load in -- ter com chan nel which may be high enough to pro duce a loud “howl ing” sound.

Be fore you be gin your walk-thru, check the fol low ing:

Beltpack Bat tery Check.

❒

Set mi cro phone gain in both the beltpack(s) and the base sta tion.

❒

The base sta tion and beltpack(s) are on the same group and the beltpack(s) are on their own unique trans port

❒

chan nels that match the base sta tion re ceive chan nels

Sys tem Walk-Thru

The “sys tem walk-thru” can de tect prob lem of weak sig nal strength caused by:

Poor an tenna lo ca tion

•

Wrong an tenna for re ceiver and/ or trans mit ter

•

RF “Trou ble Spots”

•

If in the rare in stance your sys tem does not “pass” dur ing your walk-thru eval u a tion, re fer to the sec -- tion of this man ual which deals with Sys tem Trou ble shooting.

Section

Trou ble shooting

Re read the sec tions of this man ual to make sure you have com pleted sys tem set-up prop erly.

PROBLEM SOLUTION

DISTORTION - System’s audio quality seems distorted

at medium to high input levels.

HISS - System seems to produce a “hiss” which is undesirable.

LOW OUTPUT - System produces a low output level.

FEEDBACK - Moving around area of use produces

“squeal” or “howl” in various locations using ext. speakers.

DROPOUTS - When moving around the area of use there seems to be locations where the signal “swooshes” or completely disappears.

If you are un able to solve the prob lem, con tact the dealer from whom you pur chased the sys tem for as sis tance.

Reduce microphone gain by adjusting microphone gain control.

Check the gain setting on all beltpacks and the base. They may be too low or too high. Check to make sure you are still well within range of the base station.

Check the gain setting on both the beltpacks and the base. They may be too low.

Reduce the gain settings on both the beltpacks and the base. They may be too high.

Make sure both antennas on the base and beltpack are connected and follow the location suggestions. Change the location of the base unit and antennas or avoid the bad areas with the remote beltpacks.

INTERFERENCE - System picks up signals other than wireless intercoms.

NO AUDIO from BASE or BELTPACK headsets.

Make sure that all the beltpack(s) are on. If there are any unused receivers at the base, turn the audio off from those receivers by deselecting the appropriate “Beltpack Connect” button.

If problems persist with the beltpack on, you will probably need to change the group. Make sure the base and beltpack match after any Group/Channel change.

Check Transmitter switch on base and beltpack. Check talk LED to make sure it is on. Make sure beltpack batteries are OK.

Tech Tips

Un for tu nately, ra dio fre quency (RF) chan nels can not be ran -- domly se lected for use in ra dio de vices. They must be se lected to avoid known fre quen cies in use, FCC re stric tions on the lo -- ca tion of de vices, and even in ter fer ence be tween your own RF de vices. The fac tory de fined fre quen cies (Groups 01A-24) se -- lected for this sys tem are cho sen to min i mize pos si ble in ter fer -- ence.

Mi cro phone Gain Ad just ment

The mi cro phone gain con trols on the base sta tion and beltpack are set to mid-levels by the fac tory. In most cases this set ting will work fine and only on loud speech will the overmodulation (OM) in di ca tor light. How ever, in en vi ron -- ments where the back ground noise is loud or the user has a strong/quiet voice, the gain con trol will need to be ad justed. In Fig ure 32 the gain is set cor rectly. The user’s root-mean-square (RMS) sound level is well be low the OM thresh old and only on peaks does his or her voice flash the OM in di ca tor light.

Fig ure 33 dis plays the same gain set ting as in Fig ure 32 but brought into a high noise en vi ron ment. The user’s voice now lights the OM in di ca tor all the time he or she speaks due to the higher noise plus the user speak ing louder. The re sult on the sys tem is dis tor tion on louder speech. The mi cro phone gain must be re duced. The same ap plies to a user with a pow er ful voice. If some one sets the sys tem mic gain to their voice and user has a much stron ger voice, then the gain will need to be re duced, even if the back ground noise is the same.

Al ways re mem ber to set the mi cro phone gain based on the sit -- u a tion and lo ca tion in which the equip ment will be used. If the equip ment is used on the field dur ing a foot ball game, set the gain based upon a loud sta dium, NOT the quiet sta dium 2 hours be fore a game. If a pro duc tion stu dio user has a quiet voice, set the gain to their voice and NOT the stage hand’s loud voice who helped set up the sys tem.
