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, it 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.
10
IMPORTANT: the different receiver antennas must be connected in correct positions or the system will work properly.
WCS1000RX RECEIVER UNIT SET-UP
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.
When choosing a control channel try to avoid channels used by other RF apparatus or other
WCS1000 systems in adjacent rooms.
The receiver and all the transmitter units must be set always on the same room CONTROL channel.
In the majority of the UE countries the range for remote controls SRD is 433.050-434.790 MHz, that corresponds to the Room channels B and C. In any case please consult your national spectrum authority to set a proper frequency channel.
11
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.
TIP: this function is useful to reduce the number of delegate RF channels that can 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.
