RTS™ TW

Figure 3.8 RTS™TW based training intercom system.

The RTS™ TW system for this application is the next simplest, and has added features. The student crews can have completely private conversations, yet are still reachable via the call light paging system. Each BP325 belt pack can be configured to accept an individual program source (but the loop-through is lost and the two students line connection will be through a simple one to two splitter). The program source is often a training audio/video tape, along with a monitoring computer tests the reaction time and correctness of the students reaction.
