Operation modes

System modes
The 6000 series microphones work in different
modes - according to the settings of the system.
Automatic
FIFO
Manual
Auto (or Automatic) mode allows for the microphone units to be switched on
immediately upon pressing the microphone ON/OFF button.
This is indicated by a red light in the 'Speak' lamp in the microphone unit. Pressing the
microphone ON/OFF button again will turn the microphone off.
If the 'maximum speakers (delegates)' is reached, the speak request will be rejected.
Microphones with Chairman priority will always be turned on (a Chairman Unit is
always in Auto or VOX mode).
FIFO is an automated mode. The microphone unit functions in the same way as in
automatic mode as long as the number of turned on delegate units is less or equal to the
selected 'maximum speakers'.
When the maximum number is reached, the next delegate pressing the ON/OFF button
will be put in the top of the request queue. The green 'Request' lamp flashing indicates
this.
More delegates will be put in the request queue when they press their ON/OFF buttons,
until the maximum of requests is reached. Their green 'Request' lamps will light up
steadily.
When one of the active microphone units is switched off, the first delegate unit in the
queue is automatically switched ON, and the next delegate unit in the queue will flash
with the green 'Request' lamp.
This mode will normally be used with only 1 as maximum speakers.
Microphones with Chairman priority will always be turned on directly.
Manual mode features a request list, where 'Delegates' are inserted in a queue upon
pressing the microphone ON/OFF button. This is confirmed by green light in the
'Request' lamp in the delegate unit. It is possible to cancel the request by pressing the
button again.
The microphone can only be switched on from a PC running SW 6000 software, from
the DC 6990 (Chairman unit) or from a control system like AMX or Crestron. This will
be indicated by red light in the 'Speak' lamp in the microphone unit. At this point the
delegate can switch off the microphone by pressing the ON/OFF microphone button.
Microphones with Chairman priority will always be turned on directly.
The "System Operation Mode" also called 'CU
mode' determines the behaviour of the microphone
system. The mode is set on the CU 60xx..
The following modes are available when the CU
60xx runs standalone (PC with SW 6000 has never
been connected):
