1 CONNECTING THE STATION TO THE
SYSTEM
"Loop-Through" Wiring - Two parallel wired
connectors are provided on most stations to allow
wiring to be looped through and on to the next
station if required. The female connector is used as
the input and the male connector as the output by
convention.
LS311/T and LS331 Single circuit stations - Use 2-
core screened cable and connect as shown in
diagram (1) using XLR-3 type connectors.
LS311/F Flush mount single circuit stations - For
ease of installations, these are provided with a plug
which connects to incoming wiring using screw
terminals. Wire as shown in diagram (2) using 2-
core screened cable.
LS312/F Flush mount multi-circuit stations - For
ease of installation, these are provided with a 12 pin
plug which connects to incoming wiring using screw
terminals. Wire as shown in diagram (3) using
multi-conductor individually screened cable for best
performance. Overall screened cable will work but
will suffer crosstalk between circuits when used
over larger distances.
LS312/T and LS332 Multi-circuit stations - These
are provided with 6 pin Neutrik type XLR
connectors. Up to 4 circuits can be connected.
Connect according to diagram (4) using multi-
conductor individually screened cable.
Wiring instructions for all types should be
attached to the station.
2 BASIC OPERATION
Operation varies slightly when the station is used
with built-in loudspeaker alone, headset, or plug-in
microphone.
Loudspeaker only operation
The function switch on the right of the unit is the
main operation control.
OFF - The loudspeaker is silent. The signal lamp
will still operate, to attract your attention if
required.

technical data
If a headset or accessory microphone is in use, they
are unaffected by this switch position.
LISTEN- The loudspeaker will be on, the volume
control can be used to set a suitable level.
TALK - Allows you to speak to the circuit. The
switch has a momentary action and will spring back
to LISTEN when released. It switches off the
loudspeaker and uses it as a microphone. Tone
correction is applied to produce clear speech. You
may then speak normally so long as the switch is
pressed, and you will not hear the circuit through the
loudspeaker.
HEADSET OPERATION
A Tecpro compatible headset wired as in diagram
(5) can be plugged into the station's front panel
socket. Internal circuitry automatically mutes the
loudspeaker when the headset is plugged in.
MIC ON/OFF - Located on the left of the Signal
Light switch, this is a latching key which activates
the headset mic to speak to the system.
microphone amplifier gain is factory set to suit
most dynamic headset microphones. It contains a
limiter/compressor which prevents system
overload.
The volume control now controls the headset listen
level.
TALK -Still can be used to speak to the system if
required through the loudspeaker. In headset use the
'Off/Listen/Talk'switch is normally not used and has
no affect on headset operation.
3 USE WITH ACCESSORY MICROPHONES
LSM-1 PLUG-IN GOOSENECK MICROPHONE
An LSM-1 or equivalent microphone can be plugged
into the front panel socket instead of a headset.
This can convert the LS300 series station to hands-
free 2-way operation. In this case the Mic 'On/Off'
switch activates the plug-in mic. The loudspeaker
will simultaneously receive the circuit audio and is
controlled by the 'Off/Listen/Talk' switch and
volume control.
