how to install RTS TR-30N Intercom System

• Plan your RF layout: Identify the primary base station location and the two wireless belt-pack or handset endpoints. Ensure line-of-sight as much as possible and map out antenna placements to maximize coverage and minimize interference.
• Unpack and verify components: Confirm that the TR-30N base station, wireless intercom units, power supplies, and any required regional accessories are present. Inspect cables and connectors for damage before powering up.
• Region-appropriate configuration: Set the operational region and frequency bands to match venue requirements. Use the RTS controller or software interface to select the correct VHF/UHF channels and confirm 25 kHz modulation settings.
• Assign channels and belt-packs: Allocate the two intercom channels to the corresponding belt-pack units. Label each unit to prevent cross-talk and ensure that crew members have clearly defined communication paths.
• Power-up and pair: Connect power supplies and boot the base station. Put each wireless unit into pairing mode, then verify that the base station recognizes both channels and that audio is transmitting and receiving clearly.
• Test audio quality and latency: Conduct a full test with real-world cues, ensuring minimal latency and audible clarity. Check for interference or dropouts in different areas of the venue and adjust antenna positions or channels as needed.
• Integrate with other RTS devices: If you use RTS timers, talkback systems, or legacy intercom gear, establish master-slave relationships where applicable and verify control signaling across devices.
• Document the setup: Create a simple reference sheet with channel assignments, region settings, and antenna locations for future maintenance or reconfiguration.
• Operate and monitor: During rehearsals and performances, monitor battery levels, RF activity, and audio levels. Make real-time adjustments to channel assignments or gains to maintain peak performance.
