    MODEL 2810E-2001 USER MANUAL CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS Before using the 2810E-2001 chamber communicator, the operator should be familiar with all the controls and connections. While reading this manual, you will find capitalized words such as PANEL SPEAKER. These words are to remind the reader that additional information can be found in this section of the manual.

It is advised that the 2810E-2001 be connected to an AC outlet as soon as possible once the BATTERY CONDITION INDICATOR starts blinking. While there should be enough time to safely complete a normal diving operation, the exact amount of time is dependent on the age and condition of the sealed lead acid battery.
  • Page 13 If both are used at the same time, the PANEL SPEAKER is active as a microphone. This allows another operation crew member to talk to the occupants using the PANEL SPEAKER even if the operator is away from the 2810E-2001 using the Remote Push-to-Talk Module in 2-Wire mode.

    These spikes can exceed 1kV! Such spikes can be high enough to cause the input fuses on the 2810E-2001 internal battery charger to blow and, in extreme cases, actually damage the charger circuitry. Amron has designed this battery charger to isolate such faults to ensure that they will not cause a safety issue for the operator or chamber occupants.

CHAMBER COMMUNICATOR CHECK PROCEDURES The following are a series of step-by-step procedures to perform a functional check of your 2810E-2001 communicator using only a headset.
  • Page 20 If that does not resolve the problem, then go to the troubleshooting section to determine the cause. Identify the microphone and headset leads. When using an Amron headset, the microphone is the red banana plug and the headset is the black banana plug.
  • Page 21: General Maintenance

    Select a work area where the communicator and wires connecting to it are out of everyone's way so it does not get knocked over. The 2810E-2001 rechargeable battery should be recharged after use or as soon as possible when the BATTERY CONDITION INDICATOR starts blinking.

  • Page 24 Amron per section 2.2 for further assistance. 5.3.7 FEEDBACK - FULL DUPLEX (4-WIRE) MODE There are two forms of feedback that can affect the 2810E-2001: acoustic feedback and cable crosstalk. Acoustic feedback occurs when an active microphone is close enough to pick up and amplify the signal from a speaker or earphone.
  • Page 25 Common sources are feedback between the operator's headset microphone and the PANEL SPEAKER of the 2810E-2001. If the operator wants to operate with the headset and leave the PANEL SPEAKER on, Amron recommends the operator move away from the 2810E-2001 by using the Amron Model 2822-28 Remote Walk-and-Talk Module.
