2. Setup & Use

1. CONTROL SELECT: Both

microphone and aux input volume

can be adjusted from the front

panel controls or remotely from

a controller via the RS-232 Serial

Interface. This switch selects either

front panel control or RS-232

adjust the sensitivity if needed.

7. EQUALIZER (4-BAND): Adjust

these controls upon installation to

properly equalize the system to

produce optimium audio quality

from the microphone(s).

control. Front panel controls are

ignored during RS-232 operation.

2. RS-232 IN: A 9 pin connector

to connect the CAT 860 to an

external controller.

3. SPEAKER OUTPUTS (1–4): These

binding post connectors are used

to connect the CAT 860 to the

speakers. Depending on speaker,

all outputs may not be used.

*Note: Wiring to these terminals should follow the Class 2 wiring methods as outlined in the National Electric Code.

4.CHARGERS: These jacks can be used to charge the optional LightMic or handheld mic as an alternative to connecting them to the REDMIKE cradle charger.

5.DC POWER: Plug the 24 V power supply into this jack.

6.PAGING INPUT AND ADJ: Connect the input from optional PageFirst sensor here when interface with a buildings paging system. Use the ADJ control to

8. AUX OUT AND VOL: This jack

sends audio to external equipment

such as an assistive listening

device (Personal FM System) or

recording device. Use the volume

control to set the optimum signal

level for the device.

9. AUDIO INPUTS: These

connections accept an audio

signal from other technology so

all multimedia can be distributed

evenly throughout the classroom.

10. SENSOR INPUT: The infrared

microphone audio from the ISR is

connected to this input via CAT 5

cable. Connect additional sensors

to the CAT 860 to cover large or

odd-shaped classrooms.

11. SENSOR SHORT: This LED glows

red when there is a short in the

ISR or cable. The system will not

operate, but is protected from

damage when the LED is lighted.

1.POWER INDICATOR: This light will glow blue when the ISR is receiving power from the CAT 860.

2.A/B IR INDICATORS: These lights glow when the corresponding microphone (set to channel A or

B)is turned on and transmitting. A steady light indicates a strong signal.

3.SENSOR OUT: Connect the CAT 5 sensor cable to this connection to send audio from the microphones to the CAT 860 amplifier.

4.IR EXPANSION: Connect up to three passive IR sensors (IR-SR70F) to this connection for larger classrooms. For more than one additional sensor a 3-way coax splitter is required (HS3).
