Instruction Manual

7 Tempest®24 00 MasterBelt

The mic detect circuit (dynamic/electret) will indicate dynamic when it sees a load of 600Ω or less. It will indicate an

electret when it sees 1kΩ or greater. Between 600Ω and 1kΩ is not recommended as it may not accurately detect mic type.

Talk Bu on A and B

There are two TALK bu ons on each MasterBelt, one for

channel A and the other for channel B . The Talk bu on

enables the microphone signal for the assigned intercom

channels.

Tempest uses an intelligent latching method for TALK

bu ons. Pressing the TALK bu on momentarily will cause

the TALK bu on to latch. Pressing and holding the TALK

bu on will cause the bu on to act as a momentary switch.

Talk tones can be enabled or disabled per MasterBelt. If

enabled, users will here a tone each  me the TALK bu on

is pressed.

Channel Indicator LEDs A and B

Each Talk bu on has two individual LED indicators. Together they surround the

Talk bu on. The LEDs will ﬂ ash blue to indicate which intercom channel, A or

B , has been selected and will illuminate con nuously to indicate that “Talk” is

enabled on that channel.

The Channel Indicator LEDs will ﬂ ash red when the microphone signal is reaching a peak level and is entering into limi ng.
