OPERATION
SYSTEM POWER
The BP-2000 belt pack receives power externally, in one of
two ways:
· Via the intercom channel (similar to the BP-1000)
· Via the local-power (pin 2) of the intercom channel
connector
The BP-1000 belt pack receives power externally, via the
intercom channel.
Both the BP-2000 and BP-1000 will pass system power
through to subsequent belt packs that are “daisy chained”
together.
INITIAL BP-2000/BP-1000 SETUP
The channel termination is initially set for balanced operation,
which is compatible with other Audiocom® equipment. If the
unit is going to be connected to Clear-Com equipment, one
switch and several jumpers must be changed as described in
the section on Clear-Com Setup in this manual.
The headset microphone type is initially set for single-ended
dynamic operation. To change the microphone type to
balanced dynamic, refer to Table 2 for the position of J15.
To change the headset microphone to an electret type, refer
to Table 2 in this manual for the position of switch SW1. If the
type requirement of a headset microphone is unknown, the
recommended setting is single-ended dynamic.

EXTERNAL CONNECTIONS & CONTROLS
NOTE: The numbers refer to the callouts in Figure 1.
1. Volume Control
Use this control to adjust the headset listen level.
2. Chan Button and Indicators
The Chan button (only on the BP-2000) allows the user to
select which intercom channel is active. The yellow
indicator next to the 1 or 2 lights to show the active
channel. Press the Chan button to change the channel
selection, the yellow indicator for that channel will light.
3. Call Button and Indicator
The Call function allows the user to send or receive
signals to other devices on the intercom channel selected.
The Call button operates in two ways:
Call receive:
When there is an incoming call signal, the indicator is
red. (If Audible Call Alert is enabled, incoming calls will
cause beeps in the headset.) On the BP-2000, calls
can be received on the selected channel only.
Call send:
To send a call signal to all stations on a channel, press
and hold the Call button until a verbal response is
received. The indicator will glow red. On the BP-2000,
calls can be sent on the selected channel only.
4. Talk Button and Indicator
The Talk button activates the headset microphone and
operates in two ways:
5
Latched Mode:
Tap the button once to talk. The indicator will glow
green. Tap the button again when finished with a
conversation.
Momentary Mode:
Press and hold the button to talk momentarily. Release
the button when finished talking.
NOTE: On the BP-2000, if no headset is connected
when the Talk button is pressed, the Talk button will
have the same function as the Chan button.
5. Sidetone Control
When using a headset, this control adjusts your own voice
level heard in the headphones. To adjust the level, tap
the Talk button once to turn on the headset microphone.
Then, use a small flat-blade screwdriver to increase or
decrease your voice level while talking into the
microphone. (This control is accessable by removing one
screw of belt clip.)
6. Headset Connector
This connector accepts a four-wire Telex® boom-
microphone headset.
7. Intercom Channel Connectors
On the BP-2000, intercom channels are connected via a
pair of 6-pin connectors (one male and one female). The
male and female connectors are wired together in parallel,
providing a “loop through” at each connector pin. Use
one connector to connect to the intercom channel. Use
the other connector to “daisy chain” a cable to the next
belt pack or other station on the channel.
6
Local Power Input (BP-2000 only)
Normally the BP-2000 is powered from the intercom
system and will turn on with the intercom system. The
BP-2000 belt pack may also be powered from an optional
power supply (14-30 VDC) connected between pin 2 (+)
and pin 1 (-) of the intercom channel connector.
8.
@PARAINDENT = Intercom Channel Connectors
On the BP-1000, the intercom channel is connected via a
pair of 3-pin connectors (one male and one female). The
male and female connectors are wired together in parallel,
providing a “loop through” at each connector pin. Use
one connector to connect to the intercom channel. Use
the other connector to “daisy chain” a cable to the next
belt pack or other station on the channel.
OPERATING MODES
The microprocessor within the BP-2000/BP-1000 controls four
modes of operation that affects the Microphone Kill and
Audible Call Alert features.

Changing Modes of Operation:
Perform the following steps to change the mode of operation.
1. Both the Talk and Call indicators should be off.

2. Press and hold the Talk key, then press and hold the Call
key, then release both keys. The Call indicator should
now glow red.
(The number of beeps heard in the headset indicates the
current mode of operation.)
3. Press the Call key to change to the next mode of
operation. Each press of the Call key will cause the
BP-2000/BP-1000 to change to the next mode of
operation.
4. When the desired mode is reached, press the Talk key to
select that mode and exit the mode changing function.
(Beeps will be heard in the headset when the mode
changing function is exited. The number of beeps heard
indicates the selected mode of operation.)
NOTE: Each time the intercom system power is turned
on, the beltpack will reset to the default mode of
operation (Mode 2).

INTERNAL SWITCHES, JUMPERS AND ADJUSTMENTS
There are several internal switches, jumpers and an
adjustment that affect operation. These are described below.
To gain access to the switches, jumpers and the adjustment,
disconnect all power and line connections. Remove two
screws from the top of each side and two screws from bottom
of each side. Switch, jumper and adjustment locations are
shown in Figure 2.

tap the Talk button once to turn on the headset microphone.
Then, use a small flat-blade screwdriver to increase or
decrease your voice level while talking into the microphone.

APPENDIX A
OPTIONAL FOOTBALL MODIFICATIONS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
In Audiocom® Intercom Systems, the Mic-Kill feature is used
to turn off any activated microphones on a selected channel.
The Mic-Kill feature is activated when the beltpack receives a
24 kHz signal from the channel. In some applications the
Mic-Kill and Call signal features are not desired and need to
be disabled.
ELIMINATING MIC-KILL AND CALL SIGNAL
CAUTION
TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT, THESE
MODIFICATIONS SHOULD ONLY BE MADE BY
QUALIFIED TECHNICIANS.
If desired, the Mic-Kill and Call signal features can be disabled
in the BP-2000/BP-1000 by removing a surface-mounted
capacitor from the printed circuit board. Perform the following:
1. Before making changes to the printed circuit board,
disconnect all power and line connections from the
beltpack.
2. Refer to Figure 3 and locate C38 on the underside of the
printed circuit board.
3. Remove capacitor C38 from the printed circuit board.
RESTORING MIC-KILL AND CALL SIGNAL
To restore the Mic-Kill and Call signal features, replace C38
with Telex® part number 102879-218, 1500 pF, 50V
capacitor.
