Multiple Outstations per channel
Down:
Eavesdrop mode
One might use multiple Outstations assigned to the same
channel for some permanent function such as the fly floor,
leaving the two groups free on the Master Station for other
uses.
illuminated
When there is more than one Outstation on a channel, set
additional Outstations to Eavesdrop Mode.
These Outstations do not send return monitoring to the
Master Station for driving the Go and Standby lamps.
Cues can be Acknowledged from both Normal and
Eavesdrop mode Outstations.
If more than one Outstation on any one channel is set to
Normal mode, incorrect operation may result but no
damage will be done.
When there is only one Outstation on a channel, set the
Outstation‘s Mode switch to Normal.
This Outstation will send return monitoring to the Master
Station for driving the
and Standby buttons.
Eavesdrop Mode
Should only Eavesdrop Mode Outstations be connected to
a channel, the Outstations will respond to Go and Standby
cues but the Go and Standby lamps on the Master Station
will not light as there is no return monitoring. The Fault LED
on that channel will light steadily to show that only
Eavesdrop Mode Outstations are connected.
Any number of Outstations ( up to the system maximum of
40) may be assigned to a single channel.
If an Eavesdrop Mode Outstation is on the end of a
cable run and it is disconnected, there will be no
indication on the Master Station as there will be no loss
of return monitoring to be detected.
If possible, arrange the Outstations so that a Normal
Mode Outstation (of any channel) is on the far end of a
cable run. Should the cable break or become
disconnected, the return monitoring from Normal Mode
Outstation will stop. This loss of return monitoring will be
indicated by flashing Fault lamp on the Master Station.
