Example of the configuration switches of a MCS 221 delegate microphone unit, which has been configured
to a “sub-chairman”.
1 OFF – Microphone unit is not counted to the limit
Switch 1 of this microphone unit is set to “OFF”: the microphone of this microphone unit and three other
MCS 221microphone units (= 4 microphone units) are activated. The limit of the MCS 223 chairman micro-
phone unit is set to 4. Another speaker can turn on his microphone even though, because the microphone
unit, whose switch is set to “OFF”, is not counted to the limit.
This function for example can be selected for a microphone unit to make announcements. This microphone
unit should not block the activation of the delegate microphone units.
