Zaxcom IFB-100 Main Menu
7
Remote Power Mode
This menu adjusts the power setting of the TRX transmitters.
The TRX has three power settings
• Normal Setting- The transmitters are at full transmitting power.
• Remote Standby -Remote standby is when the TRX, from the off position, is turned on and it
powers up in a non transmitting super low power mode. The TRX in this state will use
approximately 25% of the power of full operations. This may be helpful if you have to mic
someone who will not be on set for a while and you want to conserve battery life.
To use this setting you would have to set the TRX BOOT UP MODE to REMOTE STANDBY. When in
remote standby the TRX, when powered up, will remain in this sleep mode till it receives this
command from the IFB-100 to wake it. Once the TRX is awoken from this power mode the only
way the TRX will go back into this mode is with a power cycle. So when you select the “WAKE”
command in this menu the TRX transmitter will go to full power.
• LOW 2- This setting is used to put the TRX transmitter into LOW 2 mode. Low 2 disables the RF
power amplifier, RF board and mic pre-amp. The TRX will run on approximately 50% of the power
of normal operations which will extend the battery life of the transmitter. The TRX can be put into
or taken out of this mode when “LOW 2” is selected in this menu. The IFB-100 put the transmitter
into, and out of, Low 2 mode as often as you like.
Settings:
• 0: POWER=ON – Normal operation where 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 – You would use this setting to wake the TRX transmitter when the Boot Up Mode
is set to Remote Standby. When you select this setting the TRX will come up to full power mode.
• 6: POWER=LOW2 – This setting can put the TRX transmitter into and out of a low power setting.
You can come in and out of LOW 2 mode as needed. When you are in LOW 2 mode “Low 2” will be
displayed on the TRX’s home screen. Note Low 2 will not disable recording but will be muted. Once
you have reduced the TRX power to Low 2 you can power down your IFB-100. Once you power up
the IFB-100 all TRX’s in the same Group will automatically come up to full power since after a power
cycle the IFB-100 will boot up to the 0 Power setting.
NOTE: The IFB-100 will always default to and power up in 0:POWER=ON mode.
NOTE: If the TRX is not in range of the ZaxNet signal, the power setting command will have to be
repeated once the transmitter comes back into range.
