More than two Misty Student Units
It is possible to train students in the same space and to work with more than one Misty set at the same
time. To do so, each set is adjusted to a different group. It is also possible to work with more than two
Student Units in combination with a single Instructor Unit. The example given below illustrates the
various options available.
Simultaneous training with several Misty sets
The instructor can divide the group in two, work with two Misty sets adjusted to two different groups, and
use two Instructor Units to train the students.
However, in this case, the instructor must operate two Instructor Units at the same time.
Simultaneous training with a single Instructor Unit
The Misty set also provides the option of working with more than two Student Units in combination with a
single Instructor Unit. To do so, simply set all the Student Units to the desired group channel, and divide
them proportionately between the setting Student A and Student B.
The above example would then result in the following configuration:
Instructor Unit:
Set to group 1
Student Unit 1:
Set to group 1, unit A
Student Unit 2:
Set to group 1, unit A
Student Unit 3:
Set to group 1, unit B
Student Unit 4:
Set to group 1, unit B
All four Student Units will now work on group setting 1 with the same Instructor Unit. However, as more
than one unit is set to the A and/or B setting at the same time, it will be more difficult to determine which
Student Unit is generating an alarm or which Student Unit has a low battery. The Instructor Unit was
initially developed to work with two Student Units and therefore offers only two options, A or B, to identify
the source of an alarm.
Training separately with a single Instructor Unit
It is also possible to divide the 4 students into groups of 2. The first group can s tart training with the
Instructor Unit set to group 1. Meanwhile, the second group can get ready for the training. After the first
group completes the training exercise, the Instructor Unit only needs to be set to group 2 and the training
exercise for the second group can begin.
The configuration is then as follows:
Instructor Unit:
Set to whichever group is training
Student Unit 1:
Set to group 1, unit A
Student Unit 2:
Set to group 1, unit B
Student Unit 3:
Set to group 2, unit A
Student Unit 4:
Set to group 2, unit B
Example
A group consists of four students, but there is only one
instructor and there are two Misty sets available.
