SWITCHES, CONTROLS, ADJUSTMENTS AND CONNECTORS These are the switches, controls, adjustments and connectors that you can find in your ALTAIR wireless intercom base station. The description and explanation of each one will be found in the corresponding section.
WB-200 SERIES INTERCOM SYSTEM — WBS-200 DUAL CHANNEL WIRELESS BASE STATION REAR PANEL PROGRAM OUTPUT GAIN CONTROL. MAINS CONNECTOR AND FUSEHOLDER. INTERCOM LINE TERMINAL IMPEDANCE ON/OFF. PROGRAM INPUT MIC/LINE SELECTOR SWITCH. INTERCOM LINE CONNECTORS XLR-3-31 AND XLR-3-32. PROGRAM INPUT CONNECTOR XLR-3-31. PROGRAM OUTPUT SELECT: MIC ONLY/PARTY LINE.
It is always recommended to mount the unit in rack, either for mobile or fixed installations, for protection, safety, aesthetics, etc. The ALTAIR WBS-200 is designed for standard 19" rack mounting, and takes up 1u high rack space. CHANGING THE FUSE This unit incorporates an internal, worldwide voltage operation power supply, and it is prepared to work from 90 to 264 VAC, 50-60Hz.
WB-200 SERIES INTERCOM SYSTEM — WBS-200 DUAL CHANNEL WIRELESS BASE STATION After extracting the fuse holder, the fuse will appear, take out it and change for the new one. Insert the fuse holder into the mains connector again. Make sure that the fuse is the right one: 2A slow blow type - T2A CAUTION: Always make sure after changing the fuse, that it is the right one.
WB-200 SERIES INTERCOM SYSTEM — WBS-200 DUAL CHANNEL WIRELESS BASE STATION PROGRAM INPUT CONNECTION The intercom base station program input signal is carried out through a XLR-3-31 female connector. The input connection is balanced, with a nominal impedance of 40 KΩ (20 KΩ unbalanced).
WB-200 SERIES INTERCOM SYSTEM — WBS-200 DUAL CHANNEL WIRELESS BASE STATION PA OUTPUT CONNECTION The PA output signal is carried out through a XLR-3-32 male connector. The output is balanced, with a nominal impedance of 100 Ω. The next list shows the input pins correspondence as A.E.S recommends: PA OUTPUT - XLR-3-32 PIN 1...

WB-200 SERIES INTERCOM SYSTEM — WBS-200 DUAL CHANNEL WIRELESS BASE STATION 2) Using single conductor shielded cable:...
WB-200 SERIES INTERCOM SYSTEM — WBS-200 DUAL CHANNEL WIRELESS BASE STATION BALANCED INPUT: EXTERNAL UNITS CONNECTION The external units connection to the master station is carried through twin-lead shielded cable and XLR-3-31/XLR-3- 32 connectors. Each base station channel provides one XLR-3- 31 connector and a XLR-3-32 connector wired internally in parallel mode.
WB-200 SERIES INTERCOM SYSTEM — WBS-200 DUAL CHANNEL WIRELESS BASE STATION Use high quality cables and minimize its longitude. The DC resistance of a low quality cable or very long affects to the power consumption, the channels crosstalk and the system frequency response.
WB-200 SERIES INTERCOM SYSTEM — WBS-200 DUAL CHANNEL WIRELESS BASE STATION HEADSET CONNECTION A XLR-4 type connector (XLR-4-32) and a TINY Q-G type connector wired in parallel mode, allows connecting a headset and a microphone to the master station. The headset impedance must be 200 Ω...
WB-200 SERIES INTERCOM SYSTEM — WBS-200 DUAL CHANNEL WIRELESS BASE STATION switch start blinking; if the buzzer its not remote muted (consult remote mute all mics and buzzer switches for more information) an intermittent sound takes place during three seconds, the same as in all the units (wired and wireless beltpacks, desk stations, master stations, etc.), connected to the intercom channel selected.
WB-200 SERIES INTERCOM SYSTEM — WBS-200 DUAL CHANNEL WIRELESS BASE STATION input. Totally to the left the signal decreases in 10 dB and totally to the right the signal increases in 20 dB. Keep in mind that these gains are influenced by the position of the program input MICRO/LINE switch selector (placed at the rear panel), because if this switch is in mode micro, we have 30...
WB-200 SERIES INTERCOM SYSTEM — WBS-200 DUAL CHANNEL WIRELESS BASE STATION With the switch pressed the intercom line terminal impedance is in off mode and with the switch depressed it is in on mode. CAUTION: Never leave the intercom line without terminal impedance, because a bad operation of the units connected to the line would take place.
WB-200 SERIES INTERCOM SYSTEM — WBS-200 DUAL CHANNEL WIRELESS BASE STATION 7. SPECIAL OPERATIONS In order to set-up some of the master station possibilities, the unit must be opened removing the six screws of the unit top cover, and for the input and output transformers placement also the six screws of the unit bottom cover, to solder the transformers.
WB-200 SERIES INTERCOM SYSTEM — WBS-200 DUAL CHANNEL WIRELESS BASE STATION Remove the links corresponding to the output transformer LK1 and LK2. Place the output transformer, keeping in mind the position of their pins (seven behind and six forward), and solder it to the main PCB.
