a brief word about infrared IR transmission The IR transmitter transmits directly to the sensor. However; due to the strength of the IR transmitter, the infrared signal will bounce off the walls, ceiling and floor for reception thus providing continuous connectivity throughout the room. Benefit: total freedom of movement within the room with no restriction of orientation. “What’s said in the room, stays in the room”.
Forum 232 owner’s manual product description The Forum 232 is an infrared wireless microphone sound system. It is the nucleus of the classroom sound field system which provides optimum voice reinforcement. The addition of a Forum 232 sound field system will transform your classroom into a totally hands free, voice re-enforcement system, resulting in reduced voice fatigue, enhanced student listening and improved student learning.
Forum 232 system The Forum 232 system is comprised of a microphone / transmitter, either the Sapphire (IRT-60), or Handheld (IRH-35) for voice transmission to a ceiling sensor (ICS-55) that sends the signal to the receiver / amplifier (IMA-232). The receiver/amplifier processes the signal and produces an analog signal of your voice for output to the sound field speaker system.
Forum 232 owner’s manual infrared microphone/transmitters The infrared microphone/transmitter is comprised of a microphone input, signal processing circuits and several emitting diodes that transmit the vocal signal to the sensor. The microphone/transmitter can be the Sapphire or Handheld. The rechargeable batteries will provide 6–8 hours of service per charge. Place the microphone/transmitter in the charger for overnight charge and it will be ready for another day’s use.
IRT-60 remote control features 1. Moving the priority switch Up/Down will control the volume of the line inputs. 2. A momentary tap of the priority switch will duck down the line inputs 15dB. The receiver front panel power switch changes to a blinking PURPLE. A second tap will restore line input back to normal. 3. Hold in priority switch for 4 seconds closes the contact closure on the Security Alert output. The receivers front panel power switch changes to blinking GREEN.
Forum 232 owner’s manual BRC-60 drop-in battery charger This stylish desktop drop-in charging station makes it convenient and easy to recharge both Sapphire Pendant and Handheld Microphones. Charge one IRH-35 handheld transmitter and up to two IRT-60 Sapphire transmitters simultaneously. Charging indicator lights illuminate Red when charging, and Green when fully charged. The power LED illuminates Blue when plugged in.
installation of ICS-55 ceiling sensor The ideal location for the ceiling sensor is in the center of the ceiling. This will provide a clear signal path for the IR transmission from the transmitter to the dome sensor without obstruction. In addition, you will have 360º coverage and will minimize the transmission distance for more reliable performance. An additional sensor can be added for large or odd shaped rooms.
Forum 232 owner’s manual installation of speakers Two wall mount or ceiling speakers can be powered by the receiver/amplifier. It has two amplifiers (25 watts ea.). One speaker will be connected to each amplifier. Optional: Two additional speakers can be powered by the amplifier. Connect two speakers in parallel. Then bring a cable from each pair to the amplifier. Connect one pair to each amplifier. installing two SP-628 ceiling speakers • Determine the listening area.
installing SP-2000 wall mount speakers • First observe the shape of the room: ceiling height, door locations, windows, mounting surface, and seating area • Ordinary installation would be to locate the speakers on each side wall approximately even with the front row of listeners • Mount the speakers 6–7 feet above the floor • Install the mounting brackets in the vertical (up/down) orientation • Mount brackets using the appropriate hardware • Insert speaker with the tweeter in upper position • Secure speake

Forum 232 owner’s manual blank page RS-232 features The RS-232 feature allows the user to remotely operate the line level media inputs via a convenient wall panel controller. Audio levels very often need to be adjusted when switching from computer audio to DVD players and other audio sources. Such operations as level UP, DOWN and MUTE are easily accomplished via a typical eight button controller, as shown here.
system setup security alert features The security Alert features allows the teacher/presenter to send a silent wireless electronic signal with a simple press of a button, in the event of an in-classroom security incident. The signal is easily generated by the teacher who is wearing Sapphire wireless pendant microphone. This same microphone transmitter which is used for in-room amplification, has a special button (labelled PRIORITY) on the side for initiating the Security Alert.
Forum 232 owner’s transmitter manual operation of wireless microphone Now that the system is installed and connected, we are ready to turn the system “ON” and test its performance. The testing will be done using an IR transmitter (Sapphire or Handheld) to confirm good connectivity and quality audio.
troubleshooting Problem System is turned “on” but there is no sound System has power but no sound Voice is distorted and/ or signal drop-out occurs Solution • Verify AC power; the Blue LED lights when turned “on” • Check if system has been unplugged • Check circuit breaker • Call maintenance for assistance • Turn “on” microphone/ transmitter • Check for IR transmission, Signal presence (Orange LED) • Check the Green LED in the sensor • If sensor LED is not lit • Sensor has been disconnected • Power ou
