How to Install RTS Two-Channel UHF Synthesized Wireless Intercom Base Station
Plan and position: Place the base station in a secure, elevated, or rack-mounted location with ample ventilation and easy access for cables. Ensure it is within reach of power and beltpacks, and position antennas to maximize line-of-sight while minimizing potential sources of RF interference.
- Power and basic setup: Connect the base station to a suitable power source and, if required by your workflow, to any supported control or monitoring devices. Refer to the installation manual for voltage and connector requirements.
- Antenna installation: Securely attach the UHF antennas, ensuring they are oriented for optimal coverage and free from obstructions that could attenuate the signal.
- Activate and verify: Power on the unit and verify normal status indicators. Look for indicators that confirm successful initialization and absence of faults.
- Pair beltpacks: Turn on TR-800 or TR-825 beltpacks and initiate the pairing sequence with the base station. You can connect and pair up to four beltpacks to a single base station for coordinated multi-user communication.
- Configure channels and perform a test: Assign distinct talk paths (for example, camera, production, and stage) to the available channels and conduct a full-duplex test with each paired beltpack to ensure clear, simultaneous communication with minimal latency.
- Labeling and final checks: Document channel assignments, label cables, and perform a final sweep to confirm stable operation in crowded RF environments before going live.
