The Sideline Unit

Sub Components:

1.  WAM 10 Wired Assignment Module

2.  Tempest BaseStations (1, 2 or 3 units)

3.  AC Power Distribution Center

4.  Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)

5.  PS 4001 AudioCom® Power Supply(s)

6.  WIM 8(RD) Wired Interface Module

7.  Battery Chargers (inside drawers)

8.  Storage Drawers

The Sidelines Unit is a trunk that is placed on the sidelines at or near mid field. It is this Unit that will tie into the stadium “dry 

pair” and distribute the correct signal to each sideline coach.

The Sidelines Unit houses a WAM 10 wired assignment module, a WIM 8 wired interface module, up to three (3) Tempest NG 
wireless base stations, a UPS, intercom power supply(s), battery chargers and storage drawers. Additionally, on the inside rear 
of the unit, connections are made for the dry pair via spring jacks or RJ-14s.

The AC Power Distribution Center is the hub of all of the A/C current in the trunk.  The main system power is located on the 
front of this unit.  This will connect to the stadium power via the supplied cord and supplies power to the battery chargers and 
the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).  All other equipment (PS-4001(s), Tempest Wireless BaseStations, and Ringdowns) are 
plugged into the UPS.  Note:  When the user turns on the system via the main power switch, the UPS must then be turned on 
also.  When turning power off to the system, the user must also manually turn off the UPS to avoid a complete discharge.
