Game Day Setup
Game Day Setup
On The Sideline
• Establish a firm foundation — Place the unit on the sideline as close to midfield as possible considering AC current
location, dry pair location and other sideline equipment. The unit should be placed so that if it should rain, the unit will not
become flooded. Take care to position the unit so that the dry pair and AC connections will not be in a walkway or cause
undue hazard to players or support staff.
•
Remove the front and rear covers
— The front and rear covers of the unit are removed by releasing the four latches, two
on each side of each cover. Set the covers aside but near the system in the event of rain or adverse conditions.
•
Connect Dry Pair and Ground Pair
— Using either the RJ-14 or the spring jacks (not both), connect the dry pairs.
» IF USING SPRING JACKS — connect twisted pair wire to the spring jacks on the rear of the WIM 8(RD). The spring jacks
are labeled left to right as Line 1 through 8, Ground, Ground, Ring1, Ring2. Take care not to allow the conductors to touch
while making the connections on the spring jacks. These connections are NOT polarity sensitive meaning that the two
wires connected to “1” on the sideline can be connected to “1” in the pressbox either direct or crossed.
» IF USING RJ-14 CONNECTOR — The RJs are located inside the trunk, on the back of the WAM 8(RD). Be aware that you
must have RJ-14, 4 wire jacks. If the system is connected using RJ-11, 2 wire jacks, you will have only lines 2, 4 and 6, 8
(6 and 8 are optional) and ringdown circuit 2.
•
Install Antennas on Antenna Mast
— Remove the transceiver(s) and mast from their storage space. Attach the CAT-5
wires to each antenna. Clamp the antennas into position on the mast. The antennas on each transceiver should be oriented
at a 45 degree angle with one pointed at the 50-yardline and the other pointing in the opposite direction. If the system has
multiple BaseStations, then the user will have multiple transceivers. The user should place the transceivers such that they
are as high as possible on the mast, yet such that they are not touching other transceivers or interfering with the antennas
on another transceiver. In the case of the 900 MHz model, each transceiver has only one antenna and it should be positioned
at 45 degrees facing the 50-yardline.
•
Connect AC Power to Unit
— Unwind the power cord from its storage place. Plug the cord into the AC current at the
stadium. If you must run an extension cord, make sure to secure the cord in such a fashion as to not be a safety hazard for
people walking over it. Also, if rain is even a remote possibility, insure that the cable is water protected. Please read the A/C
power warning on page 2. Exercise extreme caution when handling A/C power, especially in inclement conditions.
•
Verify WIM 8(RD) operation
— When AC power has been connected to the unit, the WIM 8(RD) should show an initialization
screen on the LCD display. The display will indicate the status of each line in the system. (The WIM 8 will also test the dry
pair, but a WIM 8s must be connected to BOTH ends of the dry pair to put the system into test mode. See “Testing Dry Pair
with WIM 8s”).
•
Burn In All Wireless Base Stations and BeltPacks
— Verify that all BaseStations and all BeltPacks are communicating. If
power is not already on, turn on the power to each wireless BaseStation. Turn on the power to each BeltPack. This procedure
is intended to start a “burn in” period in which you test the system prior to game time. Make sure that you have enough
batteries on hand to completely change out the batteries immediately before the game. The average life on a new set of “AA”
Alkaline batteries is approximately 3-3.5 hours and the average life of a fully charged lithium polymer battery is 8 hours.
•
Connect a Wired BeltPack
— Connect one wired BeltPack (BP 2002) to the system using the 6 pin connector labeled
“Monitor” on the front of the WIM 8(RD). Connect a headset to the BeltPack. Select “1/2” on the Monitor thumbwheel. This
will be used to test the wired portion of the system.
Once the Sideline Unit is configured as above, proceed with setup of the Pressbox Unit. It is desirable to have someone stay with
the Sideline unit to assist in the verification of dry pairs.
