The Clear-Com WBS-680 UHF Syn the sized Wire less in ter --
com sys tems of fer the ul ti mate in re li able, high-performance,
high-fidelity full-duplex com mu ni ca tions.
The WBS-680 sys tem in cludes the WBS-680 fre quency ag ile
base sta tion, work ing with up to four WTR-680 or WTR-682
fre quency ag ile beltpacks. The WBS-680 base sta tion pro --

The BTR sys tem in cor po rates two au dio chan nel op er a tion,
per mit ting the beltpack op er a tor to choose be tween two sep a --
rate au dio chan nels of com mu ni ca tions, with the base sta tion
track ing the beltpack se lec tion. This al lows the user the flex i --

beltpack.
The WBS-680 sys tem is per fectly suited for stand-alone op er --

The base sta tion is sup plied with two (2) an ten nas. One
1/2-wave an tenna for Trans mit and one 1/2-wave for Re ceive.
The an ten nas have TNC male con nec tors.
The fre quency range of the an ten nas should match the re ceiver
and trans mit ter of the base sta tion. Match the color code on
the an tenna with the color code on the base sta tion.
At tach the trans mit 1/2-wave an tenna to the an tenna in put re --
cep ta cle la beled “Trans mit” on the right side of the rear panel.
The an tenna should be ver ti cally aligned.
ANTENNAS SHOULD BE VERTICAL

The an ten nas can be remoted for better sig nal path.
NOTE: If your base sta tion is to be lo cated in a shielded rack
mount en clo sure or other poor RF lo ca tion, you must re mote
the 1/2-wave an ten nas with coax as sem blies.

fol low ing sug ges tions will re sult in op ti mum per for mance.
Proper place ment of the beltpack can be crit i cal. The an ten nas
should be in the open. Bending the an ten nas up and plac ing
the beltpack in a pocket, etc., will re duce sys tem dis tance.
It is sug gested that the unit be worn on the belt or pocket with
both an tenna’s ver ti cal for best op er at ing range and per for --

An tenna Po lar iza tion
The Wire less In ter com Sys tem is “Ver ti cally Po lar ized”. This
means both the trans mit ting and re ceiv ing an ten nas should op --

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.
