E-200 SERIES INTERCOM SYSTEM — EF-200 DUAL CHANNEL MASTER STATION

 

 

 
 

 Remove the links corresponding to the output transformer LK9 

and LK10. 

 

 Place the output transformer, keeping in mind the position of 

their pins (seven behind and six forward), and solder it to the main 
PCB. 

 
 
 
 

OPENING THE INTERCOM LINE TERMINAL IMPEDANCE 

 

The intercom lines should have a terminal impedance to 

make the different units connected to them work correctly, 
however only one can connect a terminal impedance for line 
becouse if they are connected two in parallel, the impedance 
would diminish in a half; for this and in order to connect other 
units with a terminal impedance, it is possible to open the 
terminal impedance placed at the master station (NOTE: Keep 
in mind that with all the units of the ALTAIR E-200 intercom 
system of ALTAIR it is not necessary to open the terminal impedance). 

In order to open the intercom line terminal impedance the EF-200 provide some jumpers (JP1 

for the line B and JP2 for the line A) placed at the right part of the main PCB, near the front panel 
looking at the unit from the front panel. With the jumper placed, the terminal impedance will be 
connected and with the jumper removed, it will be open. 

 

CAUTION:

 Never leave the intercom line without terminal impedance, becouse a bad operation of 

the units connected to the line would take place.  

 

CHANGING THE MIC GAIN 

 

The microphone preamplifier gain can be configured with an internal DIP-SWITCH (DSW1, 

position 1, MIC GAIN, placed at the front left corner of the main PCB of the unit) in 30 or 40 dB. With 
the position 1 of the DIP-SWITCH in OFF (downwards, looking at the unit from the front panel) the 
gain of the microphone preamplifier is 30 dB, and with the position 1 of the DIP-SWITCH in ON 
(upwards, looking at the unit from the front panel) the gain is 40 dB (factory set-up). 

 
 
 
 
MICROPHONE PREAMPLIFIER

 

MICROPHONE PREAMPLIFIER 

GAIN SET UP TO 30 dB.  

 

GAIN SET UP TO 40 dB. 

 
 

 

 

PA OUTPUT CONFIGURATION 

 

The PA-MIC switch allows to enable the PA OUTPUT placed at the rear panel, which normally  

is disabled, and to carry out the microphone sending picked up in the HEADSET connection to other
