INSTALLATION

Installation and setup requirements are the same for all channels of the IF4W4 
interface (i.e. A, B, C, or D channels). The following describes installation of a 
four-channel interface.

The IF4W4 interface can be set up to operate as four independent interfaces, or 
may be internally bussed into a single common party line. Therefore installation 
requirements will vary according to the configuration. Installation for four-wire 
and headset emulation are discussed separately.

PARTY LINE INSTALLATION

To connect Clear-Com to the interface, route a two-conductor shielded cable 
from a Clear-Com 

main

 or 

remote

 station output connector to the IF4W4 rear 

panel. Connect the cable to the XLR connector input marked Channel A, B, C 
or D. The pin assignments in a Clear-Com 3-pin intercom connector are:

Pin 1--- Common

Pin 2 --- Power

Pin 3 --- Intercom audio

CONNECTION TO PARTY LINE: INDEPENDENT INTERFACES

In a multi-channel configuration, each channel of the IF4W4 is individually 
powered from the party-line source (Clear-Com). Connect a Clear-Com line to 
each of the channels and set 

link 

switches to OFF.

The figure below illustrates the connections for this type of installation.

FOUR-WIRE IN/OUT

To connect a four-wire device to the interface, for each channel, attach one set of 
four-wire output lines to one set of terminal block connectors on the IF4W4 rear 
panel. On the terminal block, pins #1 and #2 are for input (

Receive

) and pins #4 

and #5 are for output (

Transmit

). Pin #3 is unit ground.
