4 TENDER AND DIVER CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS
Before using the 2830R/24 diver communicator, the tender should be familiar with all the operating
controls and connections. While reading this manual, you will find capitalized words such as PANEL
SPEAKER. These words are to remind the reader that additional information can be found in this
section of the manual.
4.1
Tender Controls
The following controls are located on the front panel of the 2830R/24 in the tender section.
4.1.1
Power Switch
–
This switch controls power to the unit.
4.1.2
Speaker Switch
–
This switch allows the tender to turn off the speaker. If the
tender is using a headset, it may be necessary to turn off the speaker in order to
prevent acoustic feedback.
4.1.3
Push-To-Talk All Divers Switch
–
This switch allows the tender to talk to all of
the divers when operating in the 2-Wire mode. It is not necessary to use this
control in the Full Duplex (4-Wire) mode. When using Full Duplex mode, this
control allows the tender to interrupt the diver by forcing the diver into listen only
mode.
4.1.4
Tender-To-Divers Volume
–
This control sets the volume for the divers’
earphone. Rotate this knob clockwise to increase the volume.
4.1.5
Diver To Tender Volume
–
This control sets the volume for the tender's
earphone and/or panel speaker. Rotate this knob clockwise to increase the volume.
4.1.6
Panel Speaker
–
A waterproof, acoustic horn speaker that allows the tender to
listen to the divers. The volume level is controlled by the EARPHONE VOLUME
control and it can be turned off using the SPEAKER SWITCH.
4.1.7
Battery Condition Indicator
–
A steady GREEN light indicates battery charge
level is good. Blinking GREEN light indicates battery charge level is at a low level
with less than 3 hours of running time available. Steady RED light indicates battery
charge level is below the level necessary to guarantee proper operation.
WARNING: When BATTERY CONDITION INDICATOR is steady RED light, the
batteries should be recharged immediately.
4.1.8
Panel Microphone
–
A water-resistant condenser microphone that allows the
tender to talk to the divers using the PUSH-TO-TALK BUTTONS. On the
2830R/24, the volume level is controlled by the MICROPHONE VOLUME control.
The PANEL MICROPHONE is muted when the SPEAKER SWITCH is turned off.
WARNING: Do not plug or cover the PANEL MICROPHONE hole. This may
dampen the tender-to-diver communications or damage the microphone
requiring replacement.
