DESCRIPTION
The WCS1000 Wireless Conference System provides advanced technology, ease of use and flexibility in a full
modular setup. WCS1000 system offers reliability, intuitive operation and versatility: it can be perfectly
integrated into any meeting rooms without additional wiring and it’s the ideal choice for mobile conference
systems or for small-to-medium scale fixed systems
WCS1000 system features 5 units:
• WCS1000RX wireless system receiver unit.
• WCS1000C chairman transmitter unit.
• WCS1000D delegate transmitter unit.
• WCS1000CH battery charger for 16 Li-Ion battery packs.
• IRC14430X3 Li-Ion battery pack (to supply the WCS1000C and WCS1000D units).
Each system can handle up to 256 WCS1000D delegate units (with up to 4 units that can be used
simultaneously) plus one WCS1000C chairman unit.
FEATURES
Up to 256 wireless microphone units in one system, 5 microphone units (1 chairman, 4 delegates)
can be turned on at the same time.
Operating Modes: LIMIT 1-4, FIFO 1-4, Chairman Only.
Microphone units operates with Li-Ion rechargeable batteries, for approximately 8 hours of
continuous speech or 30 hours in standby.
Wireless communication system eliminates the need of wired connections, so the installation can be
done easily and quickly without cumbersome arrangements.

SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
ROOM LAYOUT AND COVERAGE AREA
Choose the receiver location checking the real coverage area of conference room (usually coverage area of
conference room is smaller than the conference room area).
Typically in a closed space the maximum distance of any transmitter unit from the receiver unit must be less
than 60 m (200 ft). We suggest to check carefully the receiver installation to find the best location: wall
reflections, rack mounting and interference from other electronic equipment or metal furniture can influence
the RF signals and, consequently, the features of the WCS1000 system.
Example of conference room: Example of meeting room:
WCS1000RX RECEIVER UNIT INSTALLATION
The WCS1000RX receiver unit must be installed on a table or in 19” rack and the audio output must be
connected to the conference room audio system.
Keep the receiver away from high-power and strong radiation equipment or it may influence the system
receiving performance.
There are 4 antennas to be connected to receiver unit:
1 x ANT DATA: antenna for control DATA, i t must be connected to DATA ANT connector.
1 x ANT A + 2 x ANT B: antenna for CHAIRMAN and DELEGATE microphone units, they must be connected to
ANT A and ANT B connectors respectively.

IMPORTANT: the different receiver antennas must be connected in correct positions or the system
When choosing a control channel try to avoid channels used by other RF apparatus or other

WCS1000RX receiver’s most used parameters can be set in the STANDARD menu, while more in-deep
parameters can be set in the SYSTEM SETTING menu.
To visualize the SYSTEM SETTING menu press and hold the SET button while powering up the receiver. The
display will show:
Release the SET button and the display will show the Room setting:
Pressing the UP and DOWN buttons you can choose the Room control channel within the range of 0-9,
A-F. This is the RF channel used by the system to exchange control data between the receiver and the
microphone units. Each channel corresponds to a frequency and a free frequency channel must be selected.

TIP: this function is useful to reduce the number of delegate RF channels that can be active
Pressing again the SET button the display shows the Delegate RF activation setting:
Pressing the UP and DOWN buttons you can enable [1] or disable [0] a delegate unit RF channel. Pressing
again the SET button you can also select RF channels D2 or D3. D4 cannot be disabled because at least one
channel must be active.
simultaneously. For example, in case of two adjacent meeting rooms using two WCS1000 system, if
you reduce the active channels of both systems to two each they can both operate in a more
reliable way.
NOTE: regardless of how many RF channels are active, the maximum number of delegate units that
can be used in a WCS1000 system is always 256, see also the delegates set-up operation further in
this manual.
Pressing again the SET button the display shows the Test setting:
This is a FACTORY mode used for the device test.
Pressing again the POWER button the receiver will be initialized and enter the STANDARD operating mode:
The display will show the last set-up status (the following is an example):
This is the STANDARD menu and the most used parameters can be set here.
Pressing the SET button one time is possible to set the CHAIRMAN PRIORITY MODE: by pressing UP or
DOWN button you can select CFREE or CONLY.
: in this mode, when the chairman presses the PRIORITY button all delegates are shut down and
he has the priority to speak, but any delegate can speak again together with the chairman just by pressing his
TALK button.
