Wired Press Box Unit Overview
The Wired Press Box Unit is a trunk that is
placed in the press box in or near the coach’s
box. It is the unit that will tie into the stadium
“dry pair” and distribute the correct signal to
each press box coach. At this time, no changes
have been made to the functionality of the
Press Box Unit; X-System connects to the
existing Tempest NG Press Box Equipment,
so users who are already familiar with
its operation will have no change in their
processes.
The Wired Press Box Unit houses a WAM 10
wired assignment module, a WIM 8 wired
interface module, and an intercom power
supply(s). Additionally, on the inside rear of the
unit, connections are made for the dry pair via
spring jacks or RJ-14s.

WARNING
– DANGER! Users should exercise extreme care when working with electricity. Additional care
should be used when working with electricity outdoors in inclement weather. When working
outdoors or near water, always connect the system into a ground-fault interrupting circuit.
Note:
You can find Wireless Press Box Unit overviews in this document’s Appendix starting on page 93.
PS-4001 Power Supply(s)
Both the Press Box Unit and the Sideline Cart have integrated power supplies. These power supplies provide power for each
intercom line. Two PS-4001s are used in 4-line systems
(one each in press box and on sidelines) and four PS-4001s
are used in an 8-line system (two each in press box and on
sidelines).
On the inside of the Sideline Cart and the Press Box Unit the
power supplies are attached to the WIM 8(RD). X-System
operates optimally with both units plugged into AC power. If you do not have AC power available at both ends of your
system, it is possible to operate the wired portion of the system with AC power connected to only one end of the system. In
this mode, however, it is important to connect at least four (4) ground wires (two pair) between the sidelines and press box
units.
