Stage Announce Relay 

This DB-9 male connector provides a relay closure that is triggered 
simultaneously with the SA Output. The relay may be used to open an 
audio pathway for the signal from the SA Output, or could also be used 
to activate a light or lock or some other device. The relay may be wired 
for normally closed or normally open operation, and the signal appears 
on pins 1 & 6 or 2 & 6. It is rated to a maximum of 30-VDC at 1 amp. 

4-Wire Matrix Ports

These four RJ-45 connectors can connect four full-duplex (input pair 
and output pair) audio connections from a 4-wire communications 
device, digital matrix intercom, or similar – making them available to 
the wireless beltpacks. 

Each of these connectors has its own time slot, and can be addressed 
separately from a beltpack, or combined with other beltpacks and 
rear-panel connectors in a group. Level adjustment is done via the 
front-panel display programming.

Base Loop Connector 

The base loop RJ-45 connector is used to join two CellCom 10 base 
stations to form one larger communications system with additional 
wireless beltpacks. The wired connection passes the digital audio 
signals and time slot data between the two bases. Point-to-point 
communication is possible from a CEL-BP wireless beltpack assigned 
to one base to a wireless beltpack assigned to the other base.

LAN Connector 

This RJ-45 connector is used for rapid system software upgrades, and 
in the future will be used for intelligent connection with the Clear-Com 
Eclipse digital matrix systems, and for remote access to the CellCom 
10 base. It is essentially a 10BaseT Ethernet port.

PC Connector 

This female DB-9 connects to a PC computer for firmware updates and 
monitoring of the system configuration. It functions as a serial port.

Transceiver Connectors 

These two RJ-45 connectors connect the base station to two remote 
CEL-TA transceiver/antennas or antenna splitters. 

Each wired transceiver/antenna communicates with five wireless 
beltpacks. Each antenna splitter provides connection for five
