What’s New with the US2002
•New internal mechanical design in the panel mic to standardize
and improve connectibility.
•Updated gooseneck mic plug connection from a pin connector to a stereo
plug for easy installation.
•The Telex model MCP-90-XX microphone replaces the EGM-12N
and EGM-18N microphone.
Intercom User Station US2002 - 6
Description
The US2002 Intercom User Station is designed for stationary use by personnel who may require
selective access to two or more intercom channels. It can be rack mounted or used as a desktop
station. For rack mounting, optional hardware is required. For desktop use, four rubber feet are
supplied.
The US2002 can be used as a simple, multichannel user station. Typically, in this application, no
program sources or public address output are connected, and some advanced features can be disabled:
the station simply provides talk, listen and call capability for a single user. Alternatively, the US2002
can function as a master station. In this configuration, most or all advanced features are activated.
Also, program inputs and a public address output may be connected. This configuration is ideal for
command and control personnel such as directors, supervisors, etc.
The basic US2002 can communicate with two intercom channels. This number can be increased by
connecting optional ES4000A Expansion Stations. Each ES4000A adds four additional channels, and
up to four of these expansion stations can be connected for a total of eighteen channels.

Installation
Unpacking
The package contains the following items. Contact the shipper or your Audiocom dealer immediately
if anything is damaged or missing. Detach and fill out the registration card and return it to Telex to
properly register your US2002.
Before connecting the US2002 make sure that it is properly configured for your intended usage.
Figure 2 shows the locations of the configuration jumpers and switches. To access internal switches
and jumpers, remove one screw from the top cover and three screws from each side. Note, that
switch SW2 can be accessed through the back panel.

☞If you change any switch settings while the US2002 is operating, you must perform a
reset: either cycle power off then on, or simultaneously press the All Talk and Listen 1 keys,
then release them. The sidetone controls are adjusted after power-up and are normally
accessed through the bottom cover.

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.
☞ For best results in noisy environments, a noise canceling (directional or cardioid)
microphone is highly recommended. This is especially true if you are using the vox feature.
Mic Kill Send Enable DIP Switch
The US2002 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 US2002, 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 33.
Intercom User Station US2002 - 11
Monaural or Binaural Operation DIP Switches
The US2002 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
Speaker 1 jack on the back panel. The US2002 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.
For binaural operation with 2 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 Switch (SW2)
This switch is set at the factory to the balanced (BAL) position for use with Audiocom intercom
channels. Set the switch to the unbalanced (UNBAL) position for use with a Clear-Com intercom
system.
Direct Program Listen Enable / Disable Jumpers
By default, each US2002 program input can be heard by all intercom stations that are listening on the
corresponding intercom channel. This includes the US2002. Program input routing to the intercom
channels can be turned on or off via the US2002 front panel programming. (See "Turning the Program Inputs On and Off", page 32.) Additionally, all program signals can be routed directly to the
US2002 speaker or headset. This lets the US2002 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.
