Headset Receive Limit

EQUIPMENT CHECK-OUT AND ADJUSTMENTS

The receive audio sensitivity and the method of handling audio overload varies widely among headset manufacturers. To avoid dispatcher complaints about excessive receive background noise, use the follow- ing procedure to set the headset receive limit:

Inject a tone into the Rx port of an available LIC card and Select the channel.

Turn the radio headset jack volume control to its max- imum (loudest) setting.

If the headset amplifier has a volume control and/or volume switch, set them to maximum.

Locate the Headset Limit control (HS LIM) on the Selected Audio speaker amplifier board. Turn this control to its maximum setting. While listening to the tone, slowly turn this control down until you hear the output from the headset earpiece just begin to decrease. Set the control slightly above this point such that the headset is just into compression with its volume controls at maximum. The headset jack radio volume control and any controls on the headset itself can be used to adjust the volume to each operator’s preference.

TELCO Level Adjustments

TDV-OP409 is an electronic interface which pro- vides amplification and adjustments for the receive level. Refer to the VR-CM50 Console Service Man- ual, Volume 1, CRT- Technical Manual Section , for jumper configuration settings.

External Encoder

If the console is equipped with an external paging encoder (such as ZETRON), the input sensitivity is adjusted by the ENCDR control, R33. There is no sig- nal compression in the external encoder audio path. If the data furnished to E.F. JOHNSON at the time of order did not specify the use of an external encoder, the port on the tray will not be programmed to be active.

NOTE: The ENCDR control does not affect the output of the internal keypad encoder on the control tray. Paging tones are actually generated on the LIC card, not in the control tray.

Telephone Ringer

If the console is equipped with the Integrated Telephone Screen option, the internal telephone ringer volume can be set by the S MIX control, R86.

6.4ALIGN THE CRT TOUCHSCREEN WITH THE PC COMPUTER

If your system is equipped with a touchscreen option (TDV-OP492/xx), the touchscreen must be cal- ibrated for the specific monitor on which it is installed. Before calibrating the touchscreen, adjust the height, width and position of the CRT image.
