    Tender, Diver(s) or Optional items. Amron has designed the AMCOM III to operate with a range of 90-264 VAC, 50-60 Hz. The medical grade power supply allows for proper isolation that prevents any possible leakage of AC current into the communicator.

  • Page 23: Battery Condition

    2830A-XX SERIES THREE DIVER PORTABLE COMMUNICATOR USER MANUAL WARNING: Do not continue to operate the rechargeable battery below the Low Battery Condition or permanent damage will occur. When the battery condition indicator turns to red, turn the unit off and charge batteries. BATTERY CONDITION NOTE: YOU MUST DISCONNECT THE AC POWER CORD FROM AC POWER BEFORE CHECKING THE BATTERY CONDITION.

  • Page 24: Battery Installation

    8. Close the unit in reverse order (Steps 1 through 6). MODES OF OPERATION The 2830A series have the ability to operate in either 2-Wire or Full Duplex (4-Wire) with exception of models 2830A-08, 2830A-09, and 2830A-10 with Inhalation Noise Reduction as they require to operate in Full Duplex (4-Wire) only.

    25-foot-long cable or the 28B Wireless Tender Option. NOTE: Acoustic feedback may occur when operating with a standby diver who does not have his hat/helmet on. On the 2830A series, this can be avoided by turning his DIVER MICROPHONE VOLUME control down. This cuts off his microphone but will enable him to monitor the diver/tender conversation via his earphone.

  • Page 27: Volume Controls Full Duplex (4-Wire)

    Amron’s advanced NOISE REDUCTION FILTER (NRF) incorporates a complex DSP algorithm which filters out background noise while allowing the diver’s speech to be clear and intelligible. Amron NRF automatically captures the frequency spectrum of applied background noise within the audio frequency bandwidth and reduces it without affecting the diver’s speech.

  • Page 28: Inhalation Noise Reduction (Inr) Operation

    The net result is improved communications with improved intelligibility between the tender and divers. The Inhalation Noise Reduction feature has been fully integrated with both Amron’s portable and rack mount communicators. The built in INR module can recognize the inhalation noise through the use of high frequency content characteristics of inhalation noise.

  • Page 29: Active Noise Reduction (Anr) Operation

    ACTIVE NOISE REDUCTION (ANR) OPERATION 4.9.1 Not all noise cancellation headsets are the same. Amron’s new series of Active Noise Reduction (ANR) headsets isolates and reduces topside noise in very loud environments dramatically, allowing the tender and divers to communicate more clearly and comfortably with increased intelligibility.

If the communicator fails the check-out procedure, contact Amron for further assistance. If the communicator checks out, then the problem is likely in either the diver umbilical communication cable, the wiring of the diving hat/helmet, or the diver's microphone/earphone.
  • Page 37 If this does not solve the problem and the umbilical cannot be immediately replaced, then operate in 2-Wire mode until a replacement umbilical can be used.
