Zaxcom PR6BFI Main Menu
Remote Power Mode Adjust
This menu will only appear if IFB mode is set to TX (transmit)
The remote power mode menu allows for the RF power setting of the TRX transmitters to be adjusted.
The TRX transmitters have three selectable power settings:
• NORMAL - The transmitters are at full transmitting power.
• WAKE - If a TRX transmitter is set to REMOTE STANDBY it will power up to a non-transmitting low power
mode and will use approximately 25% of the power of normal operations. A wake command will bring that
transmitter to full power.
To use wake mode set the TRX transmitters BOOT UP MODE to REMOTE STANDBY. Then when the
transmitter powers up, it will remain in standby mode until it receives the wake command to bring it to
full power. Once the TRX is awoken the only way for it to go back into standby mode is by a power cycle.
• LOW 2 - Low 2 disables the RF power amplifier, RF board and microphone pre-amp on the TRX
transmitter. In LOW 2 mode the transmitter will save approximately 50% of the power of normal
operations. A transmitter can be put into or taken out of LOW 2 as often as desired when selected in this
menu.
Settings:
0: POWER=ON – Normal operation - the TRX will be fully powered ON
1: POWER=ON – Normal operation (same as 0) filler to prevent accidental power setting adjustment.
2: POWER=ON – Normal operation (same as 0) filler to prevent accidental power setting adjustment.
3: POWER=ON – Normal operation (same as 0) filler to prevent accidental power setting adjustment.
4: POWER=ON – Normal operation (same as 0) filler to prevent accidental power setting adjustment.
5: POWER=WAKE – Selected to wake a transmitter to full power mode from remote standby mode.
6: POWER=LOW2 – Selected to put a transmitter into and out of low power mode. A transmitter can come
in and out of LOW 2 mode as needed. When in LOW 2 mode “LOW 2” will be displayed on the
transmitter’s home screen. Please note LOW 2 will not disable recording but audio will be muted. Once
the TRX power is set to Low 2 the PR6BFI can be powered down. Then when the PR6BFI is powered up all
transmitters being controlled will automatically come up to full power since the PR6BFI will always boot
up to the 0 Power setting.
Please note if the TRX transmitter is not in range of the ZaxNet signal, the power setting command will have
to be repeated once the transmitter comes back into range.
