Description
The MS-2002 is a complete 2-channel master station and system power supply (24 V DC, 2 Amps total power) in a
single unit. You simply plug it into any AC power outlet from 100 to 240 volts, add a microphone or headset, connect
intercom stations to the back panel, and you’re ready to communicate. It even has both 1-channel and 2-channel
connectors, so you don’t have to add a separate breakout box if you want to mix 1-channel and 2-channel intercom
stations. The MS-2002 fits in a standard 19-inch equipment rack and is 1 rack unit high. The basic MS-2002 can
communicate with two intercom channels. This number can be increased by connecting optional EMS4001Expansion
Stations. Each EMS4001 adds four additional channels, and up to four of these expansion stations can be connected
for a total of eighteen channels.
Features
1. DYNAMIC-MIC HEADSET CONNECTOR: Accepts headsets with monaural headphones and either a balanced or
unbalanced dynamic microphone.
2. PANEL MIC / ELECTRET-MIC HEADSET CONNECTOR: Accepts an electret gooseneck microphone, such as the Telex
Model MCP-90-XX . The model MCP-90 series panel mic connector is a 1/4” stereo plug, with a threaded
shaft for easy installation.
3. VOLUME CONTROL: Adjusts headphone volume only.
4. VOX TRIMMERS: Used with the voice-activated microphone feature. Separate trimmers adjust the voice
activation level for the headset and panel microphones.
5. HEADSET AND PANEL MIC KEYS: Used to manually activate either the headset or panel microphone, whichever
is being used.
6. ALL TALK KEY: Used to talk to all stations that are listening on all channels. This includes both MS-2002
channels and all channels of any connected EMS4001 Expansion Stations.
7. PA KEY: If the MS-2002 is connected to a public address system, this key may be used to talk over the
public address system.
8. MIC KILL KEY: Used to turn off the microphones on any intercom stations on a channel. Also used to
activate the program inputs and the audible beep feature for incoming calls.
9. INTERCOM TALK KEYS: Momentary or latching (hands-free) operation possible.

10. C
11. INTERCOM LISTEN KEYS: Momentary or latching operation possible.
12. SPEAKER VOLUME CONTROL: The Volume control adjusts the level to the front panel speaker. If an external
speaker is used, volume must be adjusted at the external speaker.
13. COMBINE / ISOLATE SWITCH:This recessed, pushbutton switch lets you combine the audio signals of the two
channels to create a single audio channel where all users can intercommunicate. Or, you can isolate each
channel to create two groups of completely independent users. For normal operation, it should be set in the
isolate position.
14. CHANNEL STATUS INDICATORS AND RESET PUSHBUTTON:The indicators are green for normal operation and red
when there is an overload or short circuit. The Reset pushbutton restores normal operation after the
short-circuit or overload has been located and fixed.

Headset Microphone Type Selection DIP Switch
SW1-1 applies only to a dynamic-mic headset connected to the dynamic-mic headset jack on the front panel. If the
headset specifications indicate the microphone type is balanced, or if you are unsure, leave this switch in the off
(default) position. If the specifications indicate an unbalanced microphone set SW1-1 to on.
Note: For best results in noisy environments, a noise canceling (directional or cardioid) micro
phone is highly recommended. This is especially true if you are using the Vox feature.
Mic Kill Send Enable DIP Switch
The MS-2002 can generate an inaudible signal which will turn off the microphones on all intercom stations on a
channel (for stations that detect this signal). This feature is useful, for example, when an unattended microphone has
been left on and is causing unnecessary noise on a channel. By default, Mic Kill is not enabled. To activate this
feature set SW1-6 to the on position.
Program Interrupt DIP Switches
If you plan on using external program sources with the MS-2002, you have a choice of whether or not you want the
program audio to shut off on the intercom channel while you are talking. By default, program audio does not
interrupt during talk. You can change this as follows:
1. For channel 1 program interrupt during talk, set SW1-7 to on .
2. For channel 2 program interrupt during talk, set SW1-8 to on .
Incoming Call Beep DIP Switches
If call signal receive is enabled (switches SW1-3 and SW1-5), incoming calls will be indicated by red-flashing Call
keys. An optional beep tone can also be used. Internal switches enable the beep tone. You can then turn the beep
tone on or off via the front panel during normal operation. Enable the beep tone as follows:
1. Make sure the call signal receive DIP switches are on (SW1-3 and SW1-5).
2. For incoming call beep in a headset, set SW3-1 to off.
3. For incoming call beep in speaker 1, set SW3-1 to off and SW3-3 to on.
4. For incoming call beep in speaker 2, set SW3-1 to off and SW3-4 to on.
5. The procedure to turn incoming call beep on or off during operation can be found on page .
Monaural or Binaural Operation DIP Switches
The MS-2002 can be used with a single speaker or monaural headphones (single- or double-sided) for monaural
operation. In this case, all audio signals are combined and sent to the headphones and the front panel speaker. The
combined signals also go to the Speaker 1 jack on the back panel. The MS-2002 can also be used with two speakers
for binaural operation. In this case, channel 1 is sent to the Speaker 1 jack and channel 2 is sent to the Speaker 2
jack. Binaural headphone operation is not supported.
For monaural operation with headphones or one speaker (factory default):
1. Set SW3-2 to off.
2. Set SW3-5 to on.
3. Set SW3-6 to off.
4. Set SW3-7 to on.
5. Set SW3-8 to on.
8
For binaural operation with two speakers:
1. Set SW3-2 to on.
2. Set SW3-5 to off.
3. Set SW3-6 to on.
4. Set SW3-7 to off.
5. Set SW3-8 to off.
Balanced/Unbalanced Switches
Both of the BAL - UNBAL Switches on the back panel are set at the factory to the balanced (BAL) position for use
with Audiocom intercom channels. Set the switches to the unbalanced (UNBAL) position for use with a Clear-Com
intercom systems.
Direct Program Listen Enable / Disable Jumpers
By default, each MS-2002 program input can be heard by all intercom stations that are listening on the corresponding intercom channel. This includes the MS-2002. Program input routing to the intercom channels can be turned on
or off via the MS-2002 front panel programming. (See “Turning the Program Inputs On and Off”, page .) Additionally, all program signals can be routed directly to the MS-2002 speaker or headset. This lets the MS-2002 operator
hear the program inputs even if they are not being routed to the intercom channels. To disable direct program
listening in the speaker or headset for one or more program inputs, reset the appropriate jumper as shown in Table 2.

Figure 3 - MS-2002 Monaural Master Speaker Station Configuration.
This is a good configuration for smaller intercom systems when you want to operate the MS-2002 as a master speaker station, with
one speaker to monitor both intercom channels. In this configuration, the Combine/Isolate switch is set to the Isolate position. With
this setting the 2 intercom channels are completely separated. The MS-2002 dip switches are set to monaural operation so that both
intercom channels are heard in the speaker.
11
Figure 4 - MS-2002 Binaural Master Speaker Station Configuration.
This is a good configuration for smaller intercom systems when you want to operate the MS-2002 as a master speaker station, with
a separate speaker for each intercom channel. Make sure the MS-2002 internal DIP switches are set for binaural speaker operation
as described on page 7. Also, set the Combine/Isolate switch to the Isolate position. With this setting the two intercom channesl are
completely separated. The internal amplified speaker is used as the speaker output for channel 1, and the SPK-2000 is used for
channel 2.
12
Figure 5 - MS-2002 typical Speaker Station and Belt Pack Connections.
Typically, a headset is connected to the front panel of the MS-2002, and the DIP switches are set to the monaural operation (default
setting) so that both intercom channels as heard in the monaural headphones (binaural headphone operation is not supported). Note
that belt packs use less power than speaker stations, and you can daisy-chain more of them on a signle cable run. Avoid very long
cable runs with daisy-chained speaker stations. This example shows how you would “home run” an SS2002 speaker station when
the cable is very long. Also, set the Combine/Isolate switch to the Isolate position. With this setting the 2 intercom channels are
completely separated.
13
Figure 6 - External Audio Input and PA Output.
You can connect two audio sources to the Program Inputs connector: one for each channel. Audio sources can be directly
connected with a user-supplied DB9M connector. (Refer to the program input connector specifications, located on page 20, for
connector pin-out.) However, a more convenient method is to use an XP-USPG Breakout Panel as shown. The XP-USPG also
interfaces the PA jack of the MS-2002 to a standard , 2-pin XLR audio cable. Note: The XP-USPG Breakout Panel can be rack
mounted using a BOP-1000 Rack Mount Plate.

Power-Up Check
Plug in the MS-2002. When power is first applied to the MS-2002, it will perform a power-up reset, in which the
front panel indicators will cycle through all of their possible colors and then turn off. This verifies the general
operation of the intercom station and indicators. The MS-2002 also reads the settings of all DIP switches at this time
and configures itself accordingly.
Test Tone
The MS-2002 can generate a test tone, which can be used to verify intercom channel operation after installation or
to locate a malfunction. This test tone is also used for the sidetone adjustment which follows. Use the test tone as
follows:
1. Simultaneously press the All Talk and PA keys to activate the test tone.
2. Tap the Call key for the channel that you want to test (can be either a MS-2002 channel or an EMS4001
channel).
3. Verify that the test tone can be heard at all intercom stations on the channel. Replace any defective cable
or intercom station where the test tone is being lost.
4. Tap the same Call key to stop the test signal on that channel.
5. Press any key except a Call key to turn off the test tone.
Sidetone Adjustment
The MS-2002 uses full-duplex audio (the same as a conventional telephone line) in which the talk and listen audio
are sent and received on the same line. Thus, when you talk on a channel, you will also here your own voice back in
the speaker or headphones. This is called sidetone. If you are using the MS-2002 with a microphone and speaker,
sidetone could cause unwanted feedback, since the microphone may pick up your returned voice audio and reamplify it. This could also happen if you are using a headset where the ear cushions do not completely cover the
ears, although it is probably much less likely. In either of these cases, you should minimize the amount of sidetone.
On the other hand, if you are using headphones that completely enclose the ears, a certain amount of your own
voice level is desirable to overcome the muffled sensation when talking. See figure 8, page 16, for the adjustment
locations.
If you are using a speaker and microphone, or open-ear style headphones, adjust sidetone as follows:
1. Simultaneously press the All Talk and PA keys to activate the test tone.
2. Tap the channel 1 Call key to send the test tone on channel 1.
3. Increase the volume until you can hear the test tone.
4. Using a small flat-bladed screwdriver, adjust the channel 1 sidetone through the access hole in the bottom
of the MS-2002 (Figure ) to minimize the tone volume.
5. Tap the channel 1 Call key to turn off the test tone on channel 1 when finished.
6. Tap the channel 2 Call key, and repeat the adjustment for the channel 2 sidetone.
7. Tap any other key, except a Call key, to turn off the test tone when finished.
If you are using headphones that completely enclose the ears, adjust sidetone as follows:
1. Tap the Headset key to turn the headset microphone on.
2. Tap the channel 1 Talk key to turn it on.
3. While speaking into the microphone, use a small flat-bladed screwdriver to adjust the channel 1 sidetone
so that you hear your voice at an acceptable level in the headphones. Tap the channel 1 Talk key to turn it
off when finished.
4. Tap the channel 2 Talk key to turn it on, and adjust the channel 2 sidetone as for channel 1. Tap the
channel 2. Talk key to turn it off when finished.

Voice-Activated Microphone (Vox) Setup
If you are going to use vox, you must adjust the vox level for proper operation. If the vox level is too low, room
noise will activate the microphone. If the Vox level is too high, the microphone will not activate when you begin
talking.
Check and set the level as follows:
1. If you are using a headset, tap the Headset key twice to turn on headset Vox. Or, if you are using a panel
microphone, tap the Panel Mic key twice to turn on panel mic Vox. Whichever key you tap, it will glow
orange when the microphone is off and will flicker or turn green when sound is picked up by the micro
phone.
2. Position the microphone at its normal operating location. If you are using a headset, put the headset on and
position the microphone close to your mouth. Insure that background noise is at the normal operating level.
3. Do not speak into the microphone.
4. Check the Headset or Panel Mic key, whichever you are using. If the key is constantly glowing orange, turn
the Vox trimmer clockwise until the key begins to flicker green (mic activating) then turn the trimmer
slightly back in the counterclockwise direction until the Panel Mic key just returns to steady orange (mic
off). If you are wearing a headset, make sure that breathing and movement do not cause the Panel Mic key
to flicker green. If they do, adjust the Vox control slightly more in the counterclockwise direction to
eliminate this.
5. Speak into the microphone in a normal voice, and check that the headset key immediately turns green when
you talk. If it does not, move the microphone closer to your mouth. If you are still unable to get satisfactory
results, it may be that the microphone does not have the directional characteristics required for the noise
level in the room. A directional, or cardioid, microphone is recommended when using Vox. Omnidirectional
microphones mode, the Mic Kill key will be unlit, and in programming mode it will be lit continuously. To
return the MS-2002 to normal operation if it has been left in programming mode, tap the Mic Kill key.
Operation
Note: A quick-reference to the following operating features can be found on the inside of the back cover.
NORMAL VS PROGRAMMING MODE
The MS-2002 has two operating modes: normal operating mode and programming mode. In normal operating
mode, the Mic Kill key will be unlit, and in programming mode it will be lit continuously. To return the MS-2002 to
normal operation if it has been left in programming mode, tap the Mic Kill key.

OLUME ADJUSTMENT
V
If you are using a headset, adjust the intercom listen level with the left Volume control on the front panel of the
MS-2002. If you are using a speaker, adjust the intercom listen level with the right Volume control next to the
speaker. External speakers will require their own volume controls
RECEIVING CALLS
1. When there is an incoming call signal on a channel, the Call key for that channel will flash red. There will
also be a beep tone if the beep feature has been activated (page 7).
2. Activate the microphone: If you are using a dynamic-mic headset tap the Headset key to turn the mic on; if
you are using a panel-mounted microphone or an electret-mic headset, tap the Panel Mic key to turn the
mic on.
Note: You can also use the voice-activated microphone (Vox) feature. See page 16.
3. Turn on the Talk and Listen keys for the calling channel and begin your conversation. Turn the keys off
when finished.
Note: When you tap the Headset key, or the Panel Mic key, or any Talk or Listen key, it will lock in the on
position. You may then tap the key again to turn it off. For momentary activation, press and hold the key. It will
remain on as long as you hold it and it will turn off when you release it.
C
ALLING AN INTERCOM CHANNEL
1. Press and hold the Call key for the channel that you want to call. An inaudible call signal will be sent, and
your listen key for that channel will automatically turn on in preparation to receive a verbal response.
2. When you hear a response, release the Call key.
3. If you are using manual microphone activation instead of Vox, make sure your microphone is on: for a
dynamic mic headset, tap the Headset key to turn it on; for a panel-mounted microphone or electret
headset, tap the Panel Mic key to turn it on.
4. Turn on the Talk key for the channel you called to begin you conversation.
5. Turn off your Talk and Listen keys to end the conversation.
MICROPHONE MUTE DURING TALK
You can mute the microphone while talking. Simply tap either the Headset key or the Panel Mic key, whichever is
currently being used. Tap the key again to turn the microphone back on. (If you are using Vox, tap the key twice to
reactivate vox.)
ALL TALK
You can talk to all intercom stations that currently have their listens activated. This applies to both channels of the
MS-2002 as well as all talk channels of any connected EMS4001 Expansion Stations. Use All Talk as follows:
1. If you are using manual microphone activation instead of Vox, make sure the proper microphone switch
is turned on (either Headset or Panel Mic).
2. Press and hold the All Talk key while talking. Release it when finished.
Note: To insure that the All Talk key is never accidentally left in the on position, it does not latch.
18
Public Address (PA)
If the PA output on the back panel of the MS-2002 is connected to a public address system, you can talk on the
public address system as follows:
1. If you are using manual microphone activation instead of Vox, make sure the proper microphone switch
is turned on (either Headset or Panel Mic).
2. Press and hold the PA key while talking. Release it when finished.
Note: To insure that the PA key is never accidentally left in the on position, it does not have latching operation.
Turning the Program Inputs On and Off
1. Insure that program inputs have been connected at the back panel and that the program sources are on.
2. Press and hold the Mic Kill key for about 2 seconds, then release it. It should now be glowing green to
indicate that the MS-2002 is in programming mode.
3. The current status of the program inputs is indicated by the Talk keys. If the channel 1 Talk key is lit, the
program 1 input is currently activated to channel 1; if channel 2 talk is lit, program 2 is activated to
channel 2. Tap either Talk key to turn the program input for that channel on or off.
4. When the program inputs are configured as desired, tap the Mic Kill key to exit programming mode and
return to normal operation.
5. Adjust program 1 and 2 levels via the trimmers on the back panel of the MS-2002.
Using Mic Kill
If the Mic Kill feature has been enabled you can use it to deactivate all talk keys on a single channel or on all
channels. This feature is useful when a remote talk key has been left on and is causing unwanted noise on a channel.
Use Mic Kill as follows:
1. Tap the Mic Kill key. It will blink green.
2. Tap the Talk or Listen key for a channel to turn off all talk keys on that channel. Or, tap the All Talk key
to turn off all talk keys. The key you tap will turn green and the Mic Kill signal will be sent.
3. Tap Mic Kill to exit.
Using Voice-Activated Microphone (Vox)
If you use Vox you will not have to insure that the microphone key is turned on whenever you want to talk. Activate
Vox as follows:
1. Make sure the Headset and Panel Mic keys are off.
2. If you are using a headset, tap the Headset key twice to turn on headset vox. Or, if you are using a panel
microphone, tap the Panel Mic key twice to turn on panel mic vox. Whichever key you tap, it will glow
orange when the microphone is off and will flicker or turn green when the microphone turns on.
Note: The Vox level may require adjustment, see “Voice-Activated Microphone (Vox) Setup”, page 16.
Incoming Call Beep On/Off
Normally, incoming calls are indicated by red-flashing Call keys. An optional beep tone can also be enabled as
follows:
1. Ensure that this feature has been activated via internal switches (page 7).
2. Press and hold the Mic Kill key for about 2 seconds, then release it. It should now be glowing green to
indicate that the intercom station is in programming mode.
3. Tap either Call key on the MS-2002 to turn the beep feature on or off. (It doesn’t matter which one you
tap, since this feature affects both channels.)
4. Tap the Mic Kill key to return to normal operation.
