3. Physically connect the HelixNet Partyline and Tempest systems.
Powering the connection:
You must power the connection between the systems using either a dedicated power supply
(such as the PK-7, PS-702, or PS-704), or a powered Encore Main Station (such as the MS-702
or MS-704).
Tip: For more information about the dPK-7 or PS-70x power supply devices from Clear-Com,
see

Connecting to Tempest:
You can use standard microphone cable or CAT5 cable types to connect the HMS-4X Main
Station to the Tempest Basestation. 3-pin XLR connectors are located:
• On the HMS-4X Main Station two-wire interface module.
• On the back panel (rear) of the Tempest Basestation.
Tip: Tempest provides two-wire input/output gain adjustments, and can be utilized to either
balance the gains between HelixNet and Tempest or connect two-wire system interfaces through
a Tempest base station.

The In / Out volume levels have the following ranges:
