WINGMAN FRONT/BACK PANELS XLR JACK PIN ASSIGNMENTS (see PIN CONFIGURATION) Model Shown: WM-900 TRANSMIT ANTENNA JACK (see ANTENNA PLACEMENT) WHAT IS WINGMAN? WingMAN is an interface station that allows full duplex communication between AnchorMAN belt packs and unbalanced party-line intercom systems. The WingMAN includes a transceiver that operates in a FDMA format which is compatible with AnchorMAN belt packs. An integrated interface circuit makes it possible to easily interface the transceiver with party-line intercom systems. RECEIVE ANTENNA JACK (see ANTENNA PLACEMENT) DIP SWITCH Setup USER ID & Select 100/200 ohm operation (see DIP SWITCHES) This allows users to easily switch communications between one of the four AnchorMAN groups and one of two party line groups. ANTENNA PLACEMENT In order to maximize system range/performance the WingMAN is designed with dual antennas. Generally, the greater the antenna separation the better WingMAN will perform. After connecting both antennas adjust their positions until Strong signal quality is indicated by the ANTENNA LED. DIP SWITCHES WIRELESS TELEX (BTR-700) USERS USER ID Selection – DIP Switches 1 & 2 WingMAN uses one of four GROUP/USER IDs to communicate with the AnchorMAN. Select a USER ID (1 – 4) by setting DIP Switches 1 & 2 on the back panel: Follow these Setup Instructions to connect the WingMAN to a BTR-700 Telex wireless base station: SWITCH USER 1 USER 2 USER 3 USER 4 UP DOWN UP DOWN UP UP DOWN DOWN AnchorMAN belt packs with the same GROUP & USER ID setting may experience significant transmission interference. The ANTENNA LED shows range/signal quality based on antenna separation: RED = Weak Signal / Green = Strong Signal For increased range and better signal quality mount antennas using the optional Antenna Mounting Kit (includes cables & mounting hardware) to achieve maximum separation. We recommend a minimum of 10’ between antennas . WIRED SYSTEM INTERFACE 3-pin XLR jack – connect to wired intercom system ON (DOWN) – 100 ohm systems (Anchor Audio PortaCOM) OFF (UP) – 200 ohm systems (Clearcom or RTS) PIN CONFIGURATION 1.
