WORKING PRECAUTIONS The manufacturer is not responsible of any damage that can possibly happen to the intercom base station outside the limits of the warranty or those produced by not taking care with the working precautions. Mains voltage must be between the limits of the admitted power supply (90-264 VAC, 5060 Hz) and that the fuse must be the appropriate (2A slow blow type: T2A).
WB-200 SERIES INTERCOM SYSTEM — WBS-200 DUAL CHANNEL WIRELESS BASE STATION Make sure that the fuse is the right one: 2A slow blow type - T2A CAUTION: Always make sure after changing the fuse, that it is the right one. CONNECTING TO THE MAINS The connection of the intercom master station power supply to the mains takes place by a standard cord included in the box. Make sure that the unit power switch is at 0 position (turned off). Insert the female I.E.C.
WB-200 SERIES INTERCOM SYSTEM — WBS-200 DUAL CHANNEL WIRELESS BASE STATION The input connection depends on two factors, the first is the type of input signal balanced or unbalanced, and the second the ground configuration of the sound source (floating or groundreferenced). The next pictures show some of the different possibilities of connection, relying on the type of input signal, balanced or unbalanced and according to the ground configuration of the equipment (floating or ground-referenced).

WB-200 SERIES INTERCOM SYSTEM — WBS-200 DUAL CHANNEL WIRELESS BASE STATION 10 PA OUTPUT CONNECTION The PA output signal is carried out through a XLR-3-32 male connector. The output is balanced, with a nominal impedance of 100 Ω. The next list shows the input pins correspondence as A.E.
WB-200 SERIES INTERCOM SYSTEM — WBS-200 DUAL CHANNEL WIRELESS BASE STATION 2) Using single conductor shielded cable: BALANCED INPUT: 11
WB-200 SERIES INTERCOM SYSTEM — WBS-200 DUAL CHANNEL WIRELESS BASE STATION 12 EXTERNAL UNITS CONNECTION The external units connection to the master station is carried through twin-lead shielded cable and XLR-3-31/XLR-332 connectors. Each base station channel provides one XLR-331 connector and a XLR-3-32 connector wired internally in parallel mode. The next list shows the signal distribution in the pin XLR connectors.
WB-200 SERIES INTERCOM SYSTEM — WBS-200 DUAL CHANNEL WIRELESS BASE STATION 13 5. OPERATION The E-200 series intercom system are designed to allow maximum easy communication operations between the different control areas in music or theatre live performances, television, cinema, conference halls, and whatever broad events where multiple and fast communications are required, by means of its simultaneous listening-speaking operation system.
WB-200 SERIES INTERCOM SYSTEM — WBS-200 DUAL CHANNEL WIRELESS BASE STATION 14 The remote mute ALL MICS switch carries out the function upon pressing it. This means that the units (wired and wireless beltpacks, desk stations units, etc.) connected to the system can turn on the microphones again when it’s required. When this switch is pressed, its associated LED turns on during a moment. The BUZZERS switch, on the other hand, carries out an on/off function.
WB-200 SERIES INTERCOM SYSTEM — WBS-200 DUAL CHANNEL WIRELESS BASE STATION 15 the maximum cancellation of your own voice (that is to say that you won't hear your voice through the headphones), totally to the right or to the left giving the maximum level of voice, passing through all the intermediates level positions.
WB-200 SERIES INTERCOM SYSTEM — WBS-200 DUAL CHANNEL WIRELESS BASE STATION 16 IN RANGE LEDS The intercom base station has four in range leds, that indicated the wireless beltpacks that are in range in the wireless system at this moment. If a call signal is generated in a wireless beltpack of the intercom system, the corresponding IN RANGE led to the beltpack number start blink.

PROGRAM INPUT TRANSFORMER (IT-DA) In order to improve the common mode rejection ratio and get a galvanic isolation with the previous part of the audio system, an input transformer for the program input is available. The provided transformers fulfil the isolation rule of 1.5 kV.
WB-200 SERIES INTERCOM SYSTEM — WBS-200 DUAL CHANNEL WIRELESS BASE STATION 18 PROGRAM INPUT TRANSFORMER (IT-DA) In order to improve the input common mode rejection ratio and for a galvanic isolation with the previous part of the audio system, an input transformer is available. The program input has an insert point for the input transformer (TR2) placed just beside the XLR-3-31 program input connector, in the rear right corner of the main PCB.
WB-200 SERIES INTERCOM SYSTEM — WBS-200 DUAL CHANNEL WIRELESS BASE STATION 19 CHANGING THE MIC GAIN The microphone preamplifier gain can be configured with an internal jumper (JP1, MIC GAIN, placed at the front left corner of the main PCB of the unit) in 30 or 40 dB. With the jumper opened the gain of the microphone preamplifier is 30 dB, and with the jumper closed the gain is 40 dB (factory set-up). MICROPHONE PREAMPLIFIER GAIN SET UP TO 30 dB. MICROPHONE PREAMPLIFIER GAIN SET UP TO 40 dB.
