ES-201 DUAL CHANNEL DESK STATION Certain rules have to be followed when installing the cables of an intercom system to avoid ground loops and to minimize the power loss and the possible effect of electromagnetic fields. *Do not connect the XLR pin 1 to the XLR metal housing or to metal wall boxes. The ground loop created could increases notably the system background noise.
ES-201 DUAL CHANNEL DESK STATION 5.2. CALL SWITCH The ES-201 desk station unit is provided with a CALL switch allowing to generate a call signalling sent to the intercom channel. The call signal makes the LED associated with the switch start blinking; if the buzzer is enabled (consult buzzer on/off section for more information) an intermittent sound takes place during three seconds on the desk station and to the units (beltpacks, desk stations, master stations, etc.) connected to the same intercom channel.
The unit provides a MIC-KILL (turns off the MIC) system, so that when the mic is enabled it is possible to be remote muted by the MIC-KILL function from any ALTAIR EF/PS/WBS base stations. This MIC-KILL system is proprietary so is not compatible with other intercom brands.
