2BP24 UWB Body Pack Transmitter

2.1 Transmitter Controls

An On/Off power switch is located in the battery compartment.

The adjustable transmitter parameters are:

1. System ID (SYS) –Each transmitter must be assigned a system ID (1-9) that

must match the system ID set on the MCU3224

The transmitter will only transmit when it receives a sync pulse and

matching system ID from an active system. This will prevent users with

transmitters assigned the same channel slot on a different system from

interfering if they enter the coverage area.

Note: RP timing signals from separate systems must be RF isolated from

one another to prevent system timing contention in transmitters.

2. Channel Number (CHAN) –The channel slot assigned to the transmitter (01-

24.) Each transmitter in the system is assigned a unique channel number.

3. Input level (GAIN) –Adjustment of the audio input level (0 dB to 20dB in

2dB Steps).

The adjustable transmitter parameters are shown on a display located on the face

of the transmitter.

The display will only be illuminated when the user is adjusting the transmitter.

Pressing any button will activate the display for 10 seconds. After 10 seconds,

display functions will no longer be illuminated although the BP is functioning.

Pressing any button will light the display in order to check for power or operating

condition.

Adjustment Process:

1. Press and Hold (2 sec) the button associated with the parameter to be adjusted - SYS,

CHAN or GAIN.

2. The selected parameter value will flash on the screen.

3. Make the adjustment via the up down arrow keys.

4. The new value will be shown

5. Confirm the change by pressing the same parameter button as step 1.

6. The changed value will flash twice indicating the parameter change.

Note: If there is no button pressed for a 10 second period the transmitter will

revert to its original settings and the display will go dark.

Note: No parameter changes will be made unless confirmed as indicated in

step 5 above. Pressing a different parameter selection button, or

allowing a 10 second period without any input abandons any change in

process.

Note: GAIN value is automatically sent to and adjusted at the MCU3224

display. BP GAIN setting may also be changed via MCU3224 transmitter

2.2 Batteries

The BP24 operates via 2 x AA size batteries.

When inserting the batteries into the BP24, observe correct polarity as marked.

Do not peel off or damage the outer tube of the battery.

Do not use a leaking battery. If battery leakage occurs, avoid contact with skin. If contact

occurs, immediately was thoroughly with soap and water. If battery leakage comes into

contact with your eyes, immediately flush with water and seek medical attention.

Do not expose batteries to fire. Do not heat, deform, solder, disassemble or modify

batteries.

For best operation, do not use batteries of different types together, old or new batteries

together, or batteries with different charge levels.

2.3 Transmitter Audio Output Routing

The system includes a talkback function utilizing 48 output channels in either the MADI

stream or DANTE/AVB network output. In normal operation, audio will be routed to the

audio channel that matches the channel slot number assigned (Audio Channel = CHAN =

1 - 24). The talkback function is activated by connecting the appropriate transmitter

connector contact (TBD) to ground when the in-line talkback switch is depressed. The

talkback function is a press and hold operation. While the talkback button is depressed,

the audio output will be routed to a channel in the range of 25 to 48 - equal to the

channel slot number + 24 (Audio Channel = CHAN +24). Upon button release, the audio

channel returns to the normal operation on the assigned channel 1-24.

3. Positioning

When wearing the bodypack transmitter, is it important to remember that the

front of the unit (the portion on which the display and controls are located)

contains the unit’s antenna. This antenna requires a clear path to and from the

rp32 receiver in order for the unit to operate properly.

Place the display side (front side) of this bodypack transmitter facing out, and not

directly against or towards a body or other solid object.

Specifically, the antenna is located directly under the Audio-Technica logo on the

front of this unit. Holding or continuously touching the logo directly over the

antenna may de-tune the unit and negatively affect performance.

4. System QUICK START

Using a shielded CAT 5 cable (may be used with up to 1,000 feet of cable per

channel) terminated with a standard RJ45 connector, plug the cable into the RJ45

input jack on the rear of at least RP32 receiver. Connect the other end of the CAT

5 cable to the RJ45 input jack on the rear of the MCU3224 main control unit. You

may connect up to 32 RP32 receivers by connecting them into the corresponding

channel output (1-32) found on the rear of the MCU.

You do not need to turn the RP on. It receives power via the CAT 5 cable

from the MCU 3224. The RP display should immediately light and display

the channel output number to which it has been connected on the MCU.

Apply power to the MCU3224 by connecting at least one IEC cable to AC wall

supply.

Press the front panel “power” button.

The power light(s) corresponding to the IEC cable input will be visible on the

front panel (one red and one blue), and the GUI screen will illuminate and

enter a “set-up” mode while the system is normalizing and preparing for

operation.

Once the system is available for operation, the GUI screen will display a

“HOME SCREEN.”

On the left-hand side of the screen, select the “Matrix” button:

This will allow the user to view and confirm that the desired number of RPs are

connected to the system with the desired channel # assignments.

Place 2 x AA batteries into a BP24 beltpack transmitter and slide the internal

power switch into the on position.

Ensure that the BP24 system ID is the same as the System ID of the

MCU3224 (system will turn on in “default” system ID 1 for all devices). The

System ID is visible in all screens on the left-hand side of the display for

“navigation.”

Select the BP24 channel for operation (1 through 24)

Select the desired BP24 gain level

Ensure that the BP24 front surface is facing the RP32 front surface, and that they

are located somewhat in proximity to each other and roughly in a line-of sight

orientation. (Note that the distance of operation can be 90’ or more, depending

upon the particular operating environment, and line of sight operation is not

strictly or fully required due to positive effects of multi-path. However, with only

a single RP connected to the system, the “multiple coordinated receiver diversity”

is not in operation. Thus, line of sight and proximity are more important to stable

operation for initial set-up with only a single RP).

Return to the MCU and select the “home screen”

The BP24 that has just been turned on should be shown in the display on the

channel number that you have set via the BP24 channel selection process.

Press the GUI on the displayed channel to highlight/select the channel of the BP24

that you are operating. This will allow all information about this particular channel

to be observed on the other screens. It also selects this particular channel for

output to the front-mounted headphone monitor jack.

You may now listen to your selected beltpack, or if you prefer, you can observe its

operation characteristics by selecting the “transmitter detail” button:

Repeat this process for as many RP32s and BP24s as needed for the application.

No frequency or channel coordination is required. Simply ensure that only one

beltpack channel is in operation for each channel (up to 24) in each system ID. (Do

not attempt to set 2 BP channels to the same channel # in the same system. The

system will not operate).
