Description:

The Basic Courtroom System, model WIR SYS 1, is the complete hearing assistance solution for the courtroom. Listeners wear wireless RX22-4 receivers to hear the proceeding anywhere in a 28,000 ft

area**. For the severely hard of hearing, the RX22-4 can be equipped with a neckloop (included) to amplify their telecoil equipped hearing aid. SoundPlus infrared technology ensures privacy and security: the message of the proceeding doesn’t travel outside the walls of the courtroom.

Each WIR SYS 1 package includes: one (1) TX9 emitter, one (1) MOD 232 modulator, four (4) body-pack style RX22-4 receivers, four (4) HED 021 Headphones, one (1) neckloop and one (1) RPK 005 rack panel kit. The WIR SYS 1 meets and exceeds government ADA regulations for public hearing assistance, and is backed by a five-year warranty.*

The TX9 floods the listening audience with a cone shape light pattern as shown here.

The path of the cone shape light leaves a pattern on the ground, or "foot print, " and indicates where the strongest receiver reception will occur.

The actual coverage area will vary depending on the sensitivity of the receiver being used. Refer to Figures 4 and 7 to determine how many emitters are required for 100% coverage of the listening area.

(Range)

To determine the best location for the emitter, it helps to think of the IR emitter as an invisible floodlight. You’ll want to aim it so the listeners are “flooded” with the infrared light. The emitter should also be positioned high enough so it won’t be blocked by people and other physical obstructions. See Figure 6 below. Mount the emitter at least 2 ft. (.61 m) above the audience. Position the emitter to face in a slightly downward angle, 20°, that will increase the “throw” of the infrared beam.

Reflections of the infrared light from walls, ceilings, and floors may change these patterns. Important: Remember to point the emitter towards the listening audience!

If you’re not getting sufficient coverage with a single, properly installed TX9 Emitter, you may need to add additional WIR TX9 Emitters to achieve full coverage of your listening area. Figures 8a and 8b illustrate how multiple emitters can be used for large room installations.

Fig. 8a: Overlapping Illumination Patterns to Cover Larger Listening Areas

Multiple Emitters Installed to Maximize Coverage

Fig. 8b: Overlapping Illumination Patterns to Cover Larger Listening Areas

Fig. 8a above is a typical example of how multiple emitters are used to cover larger listening areas. Generally it is desirable for the illumination patterns to overlap. Note: The coverage area will vary depending on the infrared receiver being used; refer to Figures 4 and 7 to determine how many emitters are required to achieve full coverage of a listening area.

When two emitters are used at the same emission point in single channel mode, the overall coverage area increses 50%. When using an RX22-4 receiver, as a result, the coverage area will increase to an estimated 42,000 ft

(3,902 m2); the RX14-2 will increase to 5,250 ft2(488 m2); the RX16 will increase to 4,590 ft2(426 m2).

The emitter shall include an omni-directional mounting bracket for permanent installation and a bracket shall be available for mounting on a floor stand for portable installations. Each emitter shall be powered by a 24 VAC, 50 VA, 50-60 Hz power supply. The power connector shall be a 3-pin Molex-type. The emitter shall have a BNC-type 50 ohm baseband input and a BNC-type baseband 50 ohm output jack. The emitter shall have a repeater circuit to allow multiple numbers of emitters to operate from the baseband signal. The emitter shall have a visible LED indicator for power and for baseband signal. Carrier frequency is 50KHz to 8 MHz. The emitter shall shut off when the baseband signal is not present. The emitter shall provide an effective coverage area of 28,000 sq ft (2,600 sq m) in single channel mode and 18,000 sq ft (1,700 sq m) in two channel mode when using the RX22-4 receiver. The emitter shall be convection-cooled, without fans. The emitter shall have CE, FCC, RoHS, and WEEE approval and carry a five-year warranty on parts and labor.

The emitter shall be Williams Sound Corp. model WIR TX9.

Four-Channel Receiver, Model RX22-4

The receiver shall be a body-pack type with IR detector lens behind face of the unit. The unit shall have a lanyard for handsfree operation. The receiver shall have a rotary-type volume control. The receiver shall operate for 60 hours with two AA alkaline batteries and for 30 hours per charge with NiMH AA batteries. The receiver shall be charged without battery removal via charger contacts in the case. A drop-in charger accessory shall recharge the batteries in 8 hours when used with CHG 3512 charger. The receiver shall be housed in an impact resistant plastic case with a hinged battery door that does not separate from the receiver. The receiver shall receive 2.3 MHz, 2.8 MHz, 3.3 MHz or 3.8 MHz modulated IR signals with 50 µS de-emphasis. The receiver shall have a 3.5 mm stereo phone jack and accommodate low-impedance mono or stereo earphones and headphones. The receiver shall accommodate neckloop telecoil couplers.
