Product Description
The Pro Intercom BP1 is a remarkable single - circuit portable headset station beltpack. It offers great flexibility in placement. You can wear it on your belt, hang it on the wall using its strong belt - clip, or place it on top of a console, where the soft plastic strips on its bottom hold it firmly in place. Its matte black finish makes it less visible, which is quite useful in various scenarios.
On the front panel, you'll find controls to turn the microphone on and off, adjust the listening level, and send signals. The long - life, super - bright 4 - segment LED acts as an effective signal light. The back panel has multiple connectors: a 3 - pin female XLR for system connection, a 3 - pin male XLR to loop to the next station, a 4 - pin male XLR for connecting any standard communications headset, and a switch to choose between a dynamic or electret headset microphone.
This beltpack is plug - in compatible with Clear - Com and other well - known headset intercom systems. It has a ribbed, extruded aluminum case and glass - filled nylon end bezels, along with an internal support system for the PC board. Thanks to its simple design and construction, the assembly cost is minimized, leading to a relatively low price. Moreover, the simple build allows for the use of high - quality components and makes servicing easier and cheaper.
Here are the technical details: It requires 24 - 30VDC power, with a quiescent current of 10 mA and a maximum of 30mA when the signal lamp is on. The headphone output can accept 8 - 4K Ohm, with 200 Ohm being ideal. The microphone input can handle 200 Ohm Dynamic or 1.2K Ohm electret. It has a sidetone rejection of over 50dB, an audio bridging impedance of 200W unbalanced. Its size is 3.70 x 4.30 x 2.50 in. (93.98 x 109.22 x 63.5 mm) and it weighs 13.5 oz. (0.385Kg).
Using the Pro Intercom BP1 is a breeze. First, decide where you want to place it. You can either wear it on your belt for easy mobility, hang it on a wall using the belt - clip, or set it on a console. Connect it to the system using the 3 - pin female XLR on the back panel. If you need to connect it to another station, use the 3 - pin male XLR. Plug in your standard communications headset using the 4 - pin male XLR. Before using, switch between a dynamic or electret headset microphone as per your preference.
On the front panel, you can turn the microphone on and off, adjust the listening level, and send signals. The bright LED signal light will let others know your status.
When it comes to power, make sure to provide 24 - 30VDC. Keep in mind that the current draw is 10 mA when idle and can go up to 30mA when the signal lamp is lit.
For maintenance, keep the unit clean. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Since it has high - quality components and a simple construction, servicing is easy. But if you're unsure, it's best to consult a professional. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and moisture to ensure its long - term performance.
