the user. These controls are located on the control panel, reciter and PMU.

This chapter identifies and describes these controls.

3.1 Control Panel

The operating controls on the control panel allow some manual control of

one or two base stations in a TB8100 BSS. These controls and their

associated LED indicators are identified in Figure 3.1 below, and their

functions are explained in the paragraphs which follow. Refer to

“Connection” on page 55 for information on the connectors located on the

control panel.

3 Operating Controls The TB8100 BSS has a number of hardware controls which are available to the user. These controls are located on the control panel, reciter and PMU. This chapter identifies and describes these controls. 3.1 Control Panel The operating controls on the control panel allow some manual control of one or two base stations in a TB8100 BSS. These controls and their associated LED indicators are identified in Figure 3.1 below, and their functions are explained in the paragraphs which follow.

Speaker Volume Controls the volume of the speaker mounted behind the control panel. Rotate clockwise to increase the volume, and anticlockwise to decrease the volume. Speaker Button and LED The speaker button cycles the base station audio through three states. At power-on the speaker is off and the receiver audio is gated (muted). Pressing the button once turns the speaker on, but leaves the audio gated. Pressing the button a second time leaves the speaker on and ungates the audio (monitor mode).

Microphone Channel Button and LEDs The microphone channel button selects which base station (BS) the microphone is connected to. At power-on both base stations are selected. Pressing the button once will connect the microphone audio to base station 1. Pressing the button a second time will connect the audio to base station 2. Pressing the button for a third time returns to the start of the sequence, with the microphone audio connected to both base stations.

Indicator LEDs 3.3 These LEDs provide the following information about the state of the reciter: ■ steady green - the reciter is powered up ■ flashing red - one or more alarms have been generated; you can use the Service Kit software to find out more details about the alarms. PA The only controls on the PA are the indicator LEDs visible through a slot in the front panel. Figure 3.3 Operating Controls on the PA 5/50W PA 100W PA b b indicator LEDs Indicator LEDs 3.

Note that this switch breaks only the phase circuit, not the neutral. DC Module On/Off Switch This switch turns the DC output from the PMU on and off. It is recessed to prevent the DC module being accidentally switched off, thus disabling the battery back-up supply.
