Tempo Go

Tempest

FX Installation (if applicable)

You must have the most recent Tempest firmware before using Tempest FX with your Tempo Go system. A CoachComm technician
will assist in upgrading your existing Tempest FX system if needed.

To connect the Tempest FX BaseStation to Tempo Go, do the following:

1. Place your Tempest FX BaseStation unit on a secure flat surface on the sideline.

Note:

If you have a dual FX system, always connect the top BaseStation to Tempo Go.

2. Connect a LAN network cable between the BaseStation and Tempo Go Control Unit. (See the red labels in Figure 15

below.)

3. Connect a Stage Announce XLR cable between the BaseStation and Tempo Go Control Unit. (See the yellow labels in Figure

15 below.)

4. Follow the Tempest FX setup instructions found in the

Tempest FX User Manual

to connect and mount your Remote

Transceiver and to connect power. It is recommended that you power on your FX system before powering on your Tempo
Go Control Unit and speakers.

5. Test your FX system’s connectivity via the Commando-T remote to verify that it is controlling Tempo Go (for example, press

a one-touch sound button). See page 23 of this manual for additional information about testing connectivity.
