Tempest MasterBelt Operating Manual
BeltStation Overview
1- Volume- CH A and CH B
In Operational Mode, turning the Volume control adjusts the volume of the audio.
Volume indicators appear on the display during adjustment and are expressed in
Decibels (dB).
The Volume control has an option to be set to “Volume Press” where it requires a
“press and turn” to adjust the volume level. The “Volume Press” option can be
adjusted under the “Set Controls” section of the BeltStation menu.
Pressing the Volume control in “Dual-listen” mode does nothing. In “Single-listen”
mode, pressing “CH A” enables channel A, and pressing “CH B” enables channel B .
The Volume control has a channel “Delay Switch” option which requires the knob to be
pressed and held slightly longer in order to switch from one channel to the other. This
feature can be enabled under the “Set Controls” section of the BeltStation menu.
In Menu Mode, turning either Volume control allows the user to scroll the options of the
current menu screen. Pressing the Volume control selects the option.
2- STAGE Button
The Stage Announce (STAGE) button has no functionality when a BeltStation is
operating with a MasterBelt.
3- MENU Button
Pressing MENU while the BeltStation is in Operational mode will select Menu Mode, and the Main Menu screen will be displayed. Once in Menu
Mode, pressing MENU again will act as an escape key and will back out of the current menu screen moving the user up one level. Pressing the
MENU button while at the Main Menu screen will exit Menu Mode and return to Operational mode. The menu can be locked via a “Menu Lock”
feature per BeltStation.
4- ENTER Button
The ENTER button operates differently depending on the mode of the BeltStation. In Menu Mode, pressing the ENTER button selects the current
menu option and is the same as pressing a Volume control. A menu item is not selected until the ENTER button (or Volume control) is pressed.
The ENTER button can also activate Wireless ISO (wireless talk around), providing wireless communication isolated from any connected wired
intercom system.
5- LCD
While in Operational Mode, the LCD displays the status of the BeltStation including the name of the
currently communicating MasterBelt, radio strength, battery level, and other data. The LCD backlight
and contrast can be adjusted from the LCD Adjustments menu screen under the LCD/LED section of
the BeltStation menu.
6- CALL Button
The CALL Button sends call signal to any wireless BeltStation on the same intercom channel. The Call signal will be routed to intercom channels
indicated by the user’s active Talk button(s).
Note:
The TALK button must be enabled to send a call signal.
