8 5. Radio Cables The C91-20RD Radio Cables are used to interface a marine or mobile radio to the 9100 Digital Intercom System. One end of the cable connects to a U9104 or U9102 installed in the Master Station and the other end connects to the radio. Since the interface is different for each type of radio, the C91-20RD is left un-prepared at the radio end so that the installer may choose the correct interface connector. Parts/Tools Required  C91-20RD Radio Cable (One for each radio to be interfaced)  A U9104 or U9102 radio card installed in the Master Station  Mating connector and pin information for radio interface (installer provided) o Wire Crimping/Cutting/Soldering/etc. tools (depends on radio interface)  Wire ties Procedure  Determine the path of the cable between each radio and the Master Station. The radios should already be installed and tested.  Route the cable. The cable should be routed using conduits and be as far as possible from radio antenna coax cables and anywhere water may collect. The connector end connects to the appropriate radio card as installed in the Master Station. Leave enough excess cable at the radio end for preparation of radio interface connector.  Connect the cable to one of the radio card inputs on the Master Station; Align red keyways and push. Pull back gently on the connector (behind the quick-release collar) to ensure it is properly locked.  Prepare the radio interface in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. See Table 5.1 for C91-20RD Radio Cable wire color functions. The end of this cable is stripped and tinned at the factory. Due to the difficulty in soldering to these conductors, it is recommended that any extra cable be coiled up rather than cut.  Repeat this procedure for additional radios.

9 6. Power Cable The C91-20PW is a 20-foot cable used to provide power to the 9100 Digital Intercom System. It has a connector on one end and the other end requires the installer to prepare. It is important to choose a power “pick-off” point which can provide 10 amperes of current at a voltage between 11-30VDC. Direct connection to a 10-Amp fuse/circuit-breaker is preferred. Parts/Tools Required  C91-20PW Power Cable (40892G-02) o Includes David Clark 10-Amp Fuse kit (41090G-22)  Power pick-off point (circuit breaker/Fuse box, 11-30VDC)  Soldering iron/Solder  Wire terminals  Wire cutters/ Wire strippers  Tape Measure  Wire ties Procedure  Determine the location of a 10-Amp circuit breaker to be used and how to connect to it (solder, screw terminals, lugs, etc.).  If only a higher-amperage circuit breaker is available, it may be used, but the David Clark 10-Amp Fuse Kit must also be used.  Determine the location of the 11-30VDC and Ground pick-off points.  Determine the path of the cable between the power source and the Master Station. The cable should be routed using under-deck conduits and be as far as possible from radio antenna coax cables and anywhere water may collect.  Measure the length of cable necessary, adding 3 ft as a service loop.  If necessary trim the length of the cable to the length determined in the previous step, making sure to trim the UN-PREPARED end of the cable.  Route the cable. Use wire ties where necessary.  Connect the cable to the power jack on the Master Station. To connect the cable to the Master Station, align keyways and push. Then firmly turn collar clockwise until it locks into place. Pull back gently on the cable to ensure connector is properly locked. Before continuing, ensure that power is shut off to the point where you are going to connect the power cable!  Using the wire cutters and wire strippers, prepare the end of the cable as necessary for your installation.  If using the David Clark 10-Amp Fuse Kit, please see 10. Fuse Kit for assembly instructions.  Connect the cable to the power source
10 o Connect the RED to the positive (+) terminal. o Connect the BLACK and SHIELD to the negative (-) terminal. 7. Auxiliary Audio The Auxiliary Audio connection is intended for use with line-level devices only. Typical connections include a portable CD/MP3 player’s headphone jack or the “Preamp Output” RCA jacks on a car/marine stereo. This cable can also be used to route audio from the Digital Intercom System to another device (such as a camera or recorder) . Additionally, this cable can be used to interface to a smart phone. IMPORTANT: To connect to the External Speaker terminals of a communications or weather radio that has balanced audio DO NOT use an aux connection. Instead use a radio connection. Failure to observe this warning may result in damage to the radio and/or the 9100 Digital Intercom. Parts/Tools Required  A U9102 Radio/Aux card installed in the Master Station  C91-20AX Auxiliary Audio Cable (40892G-21) o Includes 3.5mm Female to Left/Right RCA Plugs Adapter  Wire cutters/Wire strippers  Soldering iron/Solder  Heat-shrink tubing  Wire ties Procedure  Route the C91-20AX Cable between the source and the Master Station. The cable should be routed using under-deck conduits and be as far as possible from radio antenna coax cables and anywhere water may collect. Use wire ties where necessary.  Connect the cable to Port 3 (Aux Out) or Port 4 (Aux In or smartphone) on the U9102 card in the Master Station. Align red keyways and push. Pull back gently on the connector (behind the quick-release collar) to ensure it is properly locked. • For Portable CD/MP3/Smartphone installation:  Plug 3.5mm male into the device’s 3.5mm jack labeled “Line Out” or “Headphones”.  Adjust device’s volume to 75% to start. Make further adjustments if necessary. • For Car/Marine Stereo installation:  Locate the “Preamp Output” RCA jacks on the stereo. Some models require an additional adapter from the manufacturer to access these jacks.  Connect the supplied 3.5mm to RCA adapter cable to the stereo’s output RCA jacks.  Connect the C91-20AX cable to the adapter cable’s 3.5mm jack.  Use a waterproof, outdoor cable/coax sealant to ensure that no moisture can enter the contacts of the RCA plugs and the 3.5mm connections.

The system must be restarted for most settings to take effect. Web Credentials By default, no credentials are required to log into the user interface. If you would like to require authentication, enter a user name and password here. The current password must be specified to make this change. If authentication is currently disabled, leave the current password field blank. Once “Save Web Credentials” is clicked the settings take effect immediately. Duck Settings Ducking is the ability for audio to mute when other audio is detected. The following settings can be used to tweak the duck settings: • Duck Threshold o This setting defines the detection level the system will use to initiate ducking, if configured in a talk group. o A lower level would result in ducking occurring with quieter sounds where a higher level would require louder sounds to trigger the ducking. o Default is -21dB • Duck Mute Time o This setting defines how long the ducked audio should mute before returning to normal level. o Default is 2 seconds See Talk Group Example 5 for details on configuring ducking. Backup and Restore Currently not implemented. Backup will allow for a configuration file to be downloaded. Restore will allow for a previously saved configuration file to be applied to the system. Advanced Settings Most users should not have to make changes in the Advanced Settings menu. Changes made here may disrupt settings made in the Basic Settings menu. The Advanced Settings menu provides for manual manipulation of Dante subscriptions and DSP settings. Additionally, the system may be restarted from Advance Settings. Contact David Clark Customer Service at (800) 900-3434 for guidance if you feel your application requires settings not available in the Basic Settings menu.
25 Talk Group Programming Talk groups are where most of the settings for the system will be made. Talk groups are a method of presenting the powerful options of the system to the user in a straight-forward and intuitive way. Each Headset Station or Wireless Belt Station is capable of (4) Selections as well as a PTT button. Talk groups are configured such that different combinations of selection and PTT pressed/not pressed can have different settings. Headset Stations have four buttons labeled 1-4 to choose the selection and a PTT button to assert PTT. Wireless Belt Stations cycle through selections in numerical order by momentarily pressing the power button. A voice prompt will indicate “one”, “two”, “three”, or “four”. PTT is asserted by the large button on the front of the Wireless Belt Station or by the PTT button on the mic boom. Tip: A device shown with red text and a green outline is a device that has one or more channels configured as part of the current talk group. Following are some examples of common scenarios and how to program the system for each of them.

39 Figure 8.22 Talk Group Example 5 – PTT Headsets Donning/Positioning Each Headset should be worn so that the ear seals fit snugly against the head, and the ears are fully enclosed within the inside of the ear seals. Adjust the microphone boom so that the microphone is positioned no more than ¼” from the lips. Using the Headset in this manner ensures optimal performance, especially in high-noise environments. For more detail on proper fit, maintenance and cleaning instructions, please refer to individual Headset documentation packaged with Headset or download at www.davidclark.com. To connect Headset to Headset Station or Wireless Belt Station, align red keyways and push. Pull back gently on the connector (behind the quick-release collar) to ensure it is properly locked. To disconnect, pull back on the quick-release collar. Volume Controls The Series H9100-series Headsets have individual volume controls for the right and left ears (dual-ear models). This provides the wearer maximum flexibility to adjust volume and balance.
40 PTT Switches The H9100-series Headsets have PTT switches conveniently located on the mic boom, just behind the microphone. These can be used to transmit over a talk group or a two-way radio, redundant to the PTT switches found on the Headset Station or Wireless Belt Station.. See 8. Operation and Programming for more information. Comment [DB5]: Note: it has been requested regularly to be able to program a selection so that the PTT on the headset keys one function, and the PTT on the endpoint/belt pack keys a different function (especially military customers). If/when this functionality becomes available, this section would need mofidictaion.
