WIRELESS TENDER (28B) OPERATION
4.10.1
Amron’s full duplex 28B Wireless Tender has the capabilities to operate in two
separate channels (1 & 2) with up to three (3) topside remote users per channel,
totaling a maximum of six (6) remote topside users. By pressing the conference
button located on the base station, all remote topside users from both channels (1
& 2) can now communicate with each other and the divers. This allows HANDS
FREE OPERATION for the tender, supervisors, crane operators, and required
support staff members while keeping in constant contact with the divers. There are
many other benefits of being hands free such as checking equipment or simply
performing other tasks.
4.10.2
The Wireless Tender base station is located inside the lid of the communicator.
Additional Remote Wireless Headsets can be purchased separately. The system
operates at a frequency of 1.92-1.93 GHz with an operating range of up to 400
meters in open space. The operating time is 6 hours per battery, and battery
charging time is 3 hours.
4.10.3
The 28B Wireless Tender Option interfaces with our Amcom communicator. When
speaking into the remote headset, the unit transmits an RF signal to the Amcom
communicator, then sends the signal down the umbilical to the diver.
4.10.4
When the diver speaks, the signal is sent up the umbilical to the Amcom
communicator, and then transmitted as an RF signal to the communicators base
station and remote wireless headsets.
4.10.5
The standard headset is an over-the-ear dual ear muff design with 270-degree
adjustable boom swivel microphone that allows the headset to be worn with the
boom on the right or left side as desired.
The Wireless Tender ON/OFF/VOLUME is controlled by rotating the power/volume
knob located on the bottom right side of the base station. The volume can be
adjusted as needed.
