Gen eral De scrip tion

The Telex RadioCom™ BTR-800 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 BTR-800 sys tem in cludes the BTR-800 fre quency ag ile base sta tion, work ing with up to four TR-800 or TR-825 fre -- quency ag ile beltpacks. The BTR-800 base sta tion pro vides full-duplex com mu ni ca tions with the beltpacks.

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 -- bil ity to cre ate a party-line and a pri vate line within the same beltpack.

The BTR-800 sys tem is per fectly suited for stand-alone op er a -- tion and also can in ter face with Audiocom® (Telex), RTS® TW, Clear-Com®, as well as RTS Ma trix sys tems and other 4-wire com mu ni ca tions sys tems. In ad di tion to the ex ter nal in -- ter com sys tems in ter faces listed above, the sys tem pro vides con nec tions for aux il iary bal anced au dio in put and out put, as well as wire less talk-around (WTA) and stage an nounce (SA) fea tures.

The RadioCom™ BTR se ries has been de signed for re li able, ef fi cient op er a tion. Op er ating in the 470 to 740 MHz range, the units op er ate re li ably at line-of-sight dis tances of 1,000 feet. With avail able an tenna sys tems, from Telex, the ef fec tive op er at ing range can be ex tended. The high-efficiency beltpacks pro vide up to 12 hours of un in ter rupted op er a tion us ing stan dard al ka line bat ter ies.

2. Wire less Talk Around (WTA) - When pressed, the user’s au dio is dis con nected from the wired in ter com, aux il iary in put/out put and the base sta tion’s lo cal head set. Other beltpack us ers, on that au dio chan nel, can hear the user as nor mal.

The as so ci ated “TALK” LED, #6, will turn red when en abled. A quick press and re lease latches the talk func tion, un less latch ing has been dis abled. Holding the but ton for over ½ sec ond, will cause the au dio path to be en abled only for as long as the but ton is held. If the talk func tion is latched on, press ing the talk but ton again will turn it off.

5. Low Bat tery/Overmodulation (BAT/OM) Light - Light will flash once when unit is turned on if the bat tery is good. If the light stays on, bat tery is low.

The dis tance be tween the base sta tion’s re ceive and trans mit an ten nas is not ad just able when the an ten nas are con nected di -- rectly on the back of the unit.

The an ten nas can be remoted for better sig nal path. A Telex coax as sem bly with re mote an ten nas may be re quired. See "Ac ces sory" sec tion fr or der ing information.

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. See "Ac ces sories and Re place ment Parts" sec tion for re mote mount ing hard -- ware.

Proper an tenna place ment prob a bly has the most ef fect on your TELEX Wire less In ter com Sys tem’s over all per for -- mance. The 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 -- mance.

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 BTR-800 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 sta -- tion 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 BTR-800, 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 RadioCom® wire less sys tem can be in ter faced to RTS, TW, Audiocom® (Telex), Clear-Com®, RTS 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-11 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.

T elex (Audiocom®) and Clear-Com® 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.
