Description
The EMS4000 adds four powered intercom channels to an MS2000 Master Station,
and it provides talk, listen and call buttons for the added channels. Up to 4 EMS4000
Expansion Master Stations may be connected to the MS2000 to add up to 16 chan
-
nels (18 channels total). The MS2000 microphone is used to talkback to the
EMS4000 channels, and the MS2000 speaker is typically used for listening. How
-
ever, there are also separate speaker jacks on the back panel of the EMS4000 for in
dependent monitor speakers, if desired. There are also 4 additional program inputs
on the back of the EMS4000, 1 for each added channel.
The MS2000 / EMS4000 combination can be used as a simple, multi-channel intercom
user station. In this configuration, the program inputs (and possibly the PA output of
the MS2000) are most likely not used, and the station operator has only talk, listen and
call capability. It is also possible that advanced features of the MS2000, such as Mic
Kill Send, might be turned off. Alternatively, the MS2000 / EMS4000 can be used as a
master station. In this application, one or more program inputs and the PA output may
be connected, and the program signals to the intercom channels can be turned on or off
from the MS2000. Additionally, the Mic Kill Send feature can be enabled, and micro-
phones on any channels may then be turned off from the MS2000.

Features
1.Intercom Talk Keys: Momentary or latching (hands-free) operation possible.
2.Call Keys: Used to call intercom channels and to indicate incoming calls.
3.Intercom Listen Keys: Momentary or latching operation possible.
4.Channel Power Status Indicators: The indicators are green for normal operation
and change to red if there is a short circuit or overload condition on a power out
put line. If an indicator turns red, either disconnect the corresponding channel
connector or turn off the intercom system and locate the problem before resum
ing operation
5.Reset Button: Used to resume normal operation after an overload condition has
been corrected.
6.Universal AC Power Connector: Accepts a variety of international power cord
types.
7.Intercom Channel Connectors: These connectors provide the power and audio
connections for each of the 4 intercom channels.
8.EXP IN and EXP OUT Connectors: The EXP IN connector receives the micro-
phone audio signal from the MS2000, and it sends the monaural mix of the four
EMS4000 channels to the MS2000 speaker or headset. The EXP OUT connector
connects to the EXP IN connector of an additional EMS4000. Up to 4 EMS4000
Expansion Master Stations may be daisy chained with the EXP IN and EXP
OUT connectors. An EXP IN/OUT cable is supplied with each EMS4000.
-
-
9.SPEAKERS: Usually, the listen mix of all 4 EMS4000 channels is sent to the
MS2000 speaker or headset via the EXP IN connector. Alternatively, speakers
may be connected to one or more of the speaker outputs of the EMS4000.
10. BAL / UNBAL Switch: This selector switch sets the EMS4000 for compatibility
with either Audiocom or Clear-Com* channel connector pin-outs, channel
power requirements, and call signaling requirements. Important! The internal
switches S200 and S600 must be set the same as the back panel BAL/UNBAL
switch.
* Brand names mentioned are the property of their respective companies.

Audiocom®
11. Program Inputs Connector and Trimmers: Each intercom channel has its own
program input and level adjust trimmer. For each program input, there is an inter
nal jumper which routes the program either to the intercom channel only, or to
both the intercom channel and the MS2000 headset or speaker (default setting).
Additionally, the program signal to the intercom channel may be turned on or
off via the MS2000 front panel programming. There is also an internal program
interrupt DIP switch which selects either automatic program interrupt when the
station operator activates a channel's talk key, or no program interrupt during
talk. The EMS4000 program inputs connector may be broken out to common
3-pin XLR audio cables using an optional XP-4PGM Breakout Panel.

Configuration Pre-check
Before making connections, read the configuration notes that follow, and make sure
that all switches and jumpers are properly set for your intended usage. Locations of
configuration switches and jumpers are shown in Figure 2
. Only the DIP switches
and jumpers require internal access. If access is required, remove 3 screws from the
top cover and 3 screws along the bottom edge from each side.
DIP Switches
DIP switches and their default settings are listed in Table 1, page 8. The following
paragraphs provide additional details.

Program Interrupt DIP Switches
Each intercom channel has a dedicated program input. These can be used to feed
background music, mix-minus audio (for broadcasting usage) etc. to the intercom
channels. If external program sources will be connected to the EMS4000, you have a
choice of whether or not you want the program audio to interrupt (shut off) on the in
tercom channel while the MS2000A/EMS4000 station operator is talking.
Audiocom Call Send and Receive DIP Switches
-
By default, all channels of the EMS4000 can send and receive Audiocom call sig
nals. You can disable call send or call receive capability for selected channels if de
-
-
sired.
Balanced/Unbalanced Switches
The switches are located on the back panel ( SW2) and internal (S200 & S600).
These switches must be set to the balanced (BAL) position for use with an
Audiocom Intercom System. Set the switches to the unbalanced (UNBAL) position
when using the MS2000A / EMS4000 with a Clear-Com Intercom System. All
switches must be set the same.
Direct Program Listen Enable / Disable Jumpers
By default, each program input can be heard by intercom stations on the correspond-
ing intercom channel. (This can be turned on or off for each program input via the
MS2000 front panel programming. See "Turning the Program Inputs On and Off" in
the Operation section of the MS2000 User Instructions.) Additionally, all program
signals can be heard directly in the MS2000 speaker or headset, and each program is
output at the corresponding speaker jack on the back of the EMS4000. To disable di
rect program listening for a program input, reset the appropriate jumper as shown in
Table 2
. Locations of the jumpers are shown in Figure 2, page 6.
-
Table 2. Direct Program Listen Enable / Disable Jumpers
These internal jumpers (W102 through W802) are for special applications which are
not applicable to the EMS4000. Leave the jumpers in the factory default position
(pins 2 & 3 shorted).
Sidetone Trimmers
These trimmers are normally adjusted after all components are connected, and they
can be accessed through the bottom cover (Figure 3
). Refer to the MS2000 User
Manual for the sidetone adjustment procedure.

Mounting Configurations
The EMS4000 mounts in a standard 19 inch equipment rack and is 1 rack unit high.
Install the 2 supplied rack mount cosmetic covers when installing the EMS4000 in
the rack.
When rack mounting components, you may not be able to access the sidetone
☞
trimmers after the components have been mounted. In this case, you can position
the components in the rack and make all required connections. Then, adjust the
sidetone trimmers before installing and tightening all rack mount screws.
