RM-702 TWO-CHANNEL REMOTE STATION

INTERNAL IFB OPERATION
To use either channel A or B as an IFB feed, connect the program source to the
program input (as described in the previous section) and set the Program
Interrupt A (or B) DIP switch to the on position. The program will now be
interrupted whenever there is a call signal present on channel B. If there are
multiple RM-702s in the system, the program should only be fed into one of the
RM-702s.
To interrupt the IFB program automatically when a talk rather than a call signal
is active on channels A or B, you must reset an internal jumper as described in
“Re-Setting Program Interrupt Options” earlier in this chapter.
EXTERNAL IFB (MA-704 AND PIC-4704 CONNECTION)
Clear-Com provides a stand-alone IFB system called a PIC-4704. The PIC-4704
provides four interruptible IFB feeds from two program sources, and is located in
a central location. The MA-704 is a four-channel control head intended to work
with the PIC-4704. An MA-704 is located at each location where program
interrupt is to be initiated. Each MA-704 has its own panel-mounted
microphone which, when mounted next to an intercom station with a panel
mounted microphone, causes panel congestion with two microphones at a single
location.
The RM-702 has a 1/4 in. (0.64 cm) phone jack output on its rear panel
intended to connect directly to an MA-704 and provide a microphone feed to
the MA-704. The MA-704 can be ordered without a panel-mounted
microphone. When a button is pressed on the MA-704, a control signal will
temporarily transfer the microphone in use on the RM-702 to the MA-704,
muting any talks active on the RM-702.
To connect the RM-702 to an MA-704, use a two-wire shielded cable with
1/4 in. (0.64 cm) tip, ring, and sleeve jacks on each end. Connect the tip to the
tip, the ring to the ring, and use the shield to connect the sleeve to the sleeve.
