Preliminary Operating Instructions
Telex Model TT-16 Transmitter
Carefully unpack your IFB Transmitter. If there is any damage or
shortages, please refer to the “Warranty Service Information”.
Set-up Instructions:
Power: Power will be received from the supplied “wall cube”. Before applying
power, it is suggested that all input cords be plugged in and the antenna be screwed
onto the transmitter. Insert the cord plug into the transmitter before plugging in the
wall cube. The wall cube normally supplied is for 120 V AC, 60 Hz use only.
Transmitter Location: Select a suitable location for the transmitter. Try to keep a
clear, unobstructed path between the transmitter and the receiver. The transmitter
should not be located near metallic objects such as building structures and file
cabinets. Locating the transmitter on top of a file cabinet is OK. Avoid high heat sources
such as radiators .
Antenna: The antenna supplied should be the only antenna used with the TT-16. The antenna is
designed to operate in the vertical position.
Audio Input: One or both of the audio input connections can be used at the same time. A
single modulation limiter serves both inputs. If either input is not used, that input should
be “turned off”. Unbalanced only audio sources devices should be plugged into the ¼ in. (quarter
inch) Unbalanced Audio input jack located on the rear panel. Tip is “hot” and the barrel is
ground. Balanced or unbalance devices should be plugged into the “XLR” jack
located on the rear panel. Pin 1 is Common (or ground), Pin 2 and Pin 3 are audio inputs that
depend on the type of intercom selected (RTS 1, RTS 2 or Telex).
E.D.R. audio: The Telex TT-16 Transmitter is equipped with E.D.R., Enhanced
Dynamic Range (companded) audio. This mode greatly improves the Audio Signal
to Noise Ratio when the TT-16 is used with the Telex Model TR-16 receiver. The
E.D.R. mode must be selected on the transmitter and receiver to be effective. Also,
The E.D.R. Mode must be de-selected if the TT-16 is used with older equipment such as the TR-
34 receiver.

Frequency/Channel Considerations: As with any radio device, interference can occur at
any time. The frequencies offered are shared with other legitimate users. Check the
frequency/channel with the matching receiver to see if any interference is present. If
interference is present, choose a different channel. The severity of interference varies with location
and distance to the interfering station. If the interference is weak on all channels,
this is probably acceptable since your transmitter will cover the interference and is unlikely
to interfere with other users. Multiple Channel Systems require other considerations but
each channel should be checked as above. For best results, locate each transmitter in the
area it is to service, and as far apart as possible.
Transmitter Operation: Turn the Monitor control down (counter-clockwise). Now that you
have checked all of the channels you intend to use, apply power to the transmitter by
pressing the Power Button located on the front panel. The Display Screen should now be on. Select
the RF Channel on the transmitter to match the receiver channel. Turn the program
material on (balance and/or unbalance audio input). Adjust the appropriate Audio Input Level
control until loud program material causes the audio level meter to hit 0 dB. This allows sufficient
“headroom” to prevent peak distortion on loud inputs. Set the High/Low power button to High
position initially.
Audio Monitor: After the audio input levels have been adjusted in the above procedure,
stereo headphones with a ¼ in. plug can be plugged into the Monitor jack. If you wish
to monitor the audio program material, turn up the monitor (volume) control to the
desired level. The monitor control does not affect the transmitted audio level.
System Walk Through: Now that the transmitter is set up, you should be able to hear the program
material on the appropriate receiver. Walk the receiver through the area that it is intended to be
used in. Check for any noise or interference that would cause undesired
operation. Some of the causes of poor performance are listed below.
Poor transmitter location.
Poor receiver location.
Interference.
Local AC Line noise.
RF “Trouble Spots.”
Operating distance beyond system capability.

Special Function Programming:
E.D.R. : If E.D.R. does not already show on the display and Enhanced Audio
Performance is desired, program as follows:
Press the power switch for 2-3 seconds to remove power, if not already off.
Press and Hold the set button and then Press the power button . E.D.R. should
then be displayed near the MHz Icon. To de-select E.D.R., remove power and
re-apply power while holding the set button in.

Power Lock: To lock the power button ON, Press the set and the up and the down
buttons at the same time until a small “lock” icon near the channel icon flashs two
times. The lock icon will then disappear. Pressing the power button while in lock
mode will cause the lock icon to flash. To de-select the lock function, Press the set
and up and down buttons again until the icon flashes one time. The power button
will then be unlocked.
