  • Page 125 9.5.1.2 Microphone Mode Mic Impedance When the “MIC_MODE_N” discrete input is grounded, the channel 1 audio input of the RT-7000 PMR is configured to directly interface with a microphone. The Microphone Mode Microphone Impedance button in the configuration screen shows the currently configured microphone impedance.
  • Page 126 provide a return path for the Mic Bias voltage to ground. Typically, the overall shield for the Mic 1 high and low side twisted pair can be used for the Mic 1 Bias voltage return. As seen in the image above, the 150Ohm option is selected and the MIC BIAS ENABLED text is highlighted in a bold black text.
  • Page 127 Assignment of these Audio Ports is controlled by selecting the drop down box for the corresponding Radio, then selecting the desired Audio Port. An example of this can be seen in the above image where each radio is configured to work directly with an individual Audio Port.
  • Page 128 Audio. Example: If the installer/operator is experiencing audio level differences while using a Cobham, Becker, or Jupiter audio control panel with the RT-7000 PMR/RMR, it is recommended that the installer/operator adjust the Input/Output levels on the audio control panel.
  • Page 129 completely eliminate the sidetone, and the sidetone can be increased to 3.000 for example, to be 3 times the sidetone volume. For self-amplified audio panel configurations, a useful and practical sidetone application could be found in the example above. RT1 through RT3 have been set to a 0.35 value for sidetone while the default is set to 1.000 and the auxiliary handheld radios, RT4 and RT5 have slightly louder sidetone of 0.55.

    (PRM RCDU IGHTING ONFIGURATION ONLY 9.6.1 IGHTING EATURES The display backlighting of the RT-7000 PMR has multiple configurations available for the operator to utilize. The RT-7000 PMR/RMR lighting bus can be operated from either the front panel or by a discrete input signal. The discrete signal can be configured for 5VDC or 28VDC lighting inputs.

    PMR / RMR / RCDU C ONFIGURATION ETTINGS This section will instruct you on the software configurations required on the PMR, RMR, and RCDU to control or display information from other devices. In the example shown below we can see a complex system that in volves two RMRs interfaced through the Primary RCDU, then a secondary RCDU.

    Figure 9-12: RMR Configured for remote control. 9.7.2 RCDU 1 (PRIMARY) P ROGRAMMING AND CONFIGURATION This section will cover the PRIMARY RCDU programming. The Primary RCDU will coordinate all communications between the RT-7000 RMRs, and the secondary programming and hence forth with require configuration for each of the devices in the RCDU’s menu.

    The secondary RCDU requires only one connection to be configured to the Primary RCDU for control. With this the RCDU will need to be configured as the secondary RCDU (ORANGE). Then the RCDU will need to be configured that it is connected with another RCDU (GREEN). Figure 9-14: Secondary RCDU with dual RCDU 9.7.3.1 Primay/Secondary RCDU Selection...
