Understanding Intercom Usage with the CopperHead 3050
The CopperHead 3050 Transceiver System is delivered pre-configured with one of three
intercom options:
• Standard Four Wire Intercom
• Clear-Com Intercom
• RTS intercom
Wiring for each of these options is described in Multi-Pin Connectors: Suggested Wiring on
page 72.
The operation of your specific intercom system is beyond the scope of this User's Guide.
Please see the documentation provided with your intercom or consult your intercom
provider.
User settings for the Intercom system occur on the CopperHead 3050 Camera Unit at the
top of the Audio Interface box on the back (not camera facing) side of the Camera Unit
Please see the
Diagrams on page 82 - Reference Numbers 9-15.
This Audio Interface box provides the following functionality:
• Volume control through the Intercom headsets for two Intercom channels and for
Program audio carried on the Intercom line.
• Side Tone setting control. Side tone is the volume of your voice heard on your local
intercom headset. It does not affect how others on the intercom line hear you.
• LEDs provide activity monitoring of traffic on the two Intercom channels and Program
audio. These are activity only monitors and do not represent audio levels.
In addition to the Intercom controls, a 4-switch panel allows adjustment of various Audio
Input and IFB settings.
Note: The CopperHead 3050 Camera Unit acts as the last component
of any intercom beltpack chain. An Intercom beltpack cannot be
plugged into the CopperHead 3050 Camera Unit. Only an intercom
headset can be plugged into the Camera Unit.
