In The Pressbox
•
Establish a Good Location
— The Pressbox Unit should be placed so that it is on a firm footing. If possible, place the unit
far enough away from the coaching area so that drinks and food, or other damaging elements, will not effect its operation.
The location should be near the dry pair connections and near an AC wall outlet. Remember that the cables, including the
isolate/combine cables, from the unit to the coaches are 25’ long.
•
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 the cover. Set the cover aside.
•
Connect Dry Pair and Ground Pair
— Using either the RJ-14 or the spring jacks, connect the dry pair.
» If USING SPRING JACKS — connect twisted pair wire to the spring jacks on the rear of the WIM 8. The spring jacks are
labeled left to right as Line 1 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. 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 circuits 1 and 2.
•
Connect AC Power to Unit
— Local AC power is required to test the dry pair using the WIM 8 test mode. Please read the
A/C power warning on page 2.
•
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 8 must be connected to BOTH ends of the dry pair to put the system into test mode. See “Testing Dry Pair
with WIM 8s”).
•
Talk Test the First line
— Once you have made the proper dry pair connections on the sideline unit and the Pressbox unit,
you should test the first line by plugging in a BP 2002 BeltPack into Monitor (set thumbwheel to “1/2”) and talk to the person
on the sidelines. If you are using the RJ-14s, test the second line as well. Then test for crosstalk by having the other person
stay on line 2 while you talk on line 1. If you have crosstalk, there are three possibilities: the dry pair is crossed in the stadium,
the Isolate/Combine Module is active (See related section below), or you have a system unit problem.
•
Connect, Configure and Test the Flexible Combine Modules (FCM)
— Once you have established that your talk lines
are in working order, connect the isolate/combine switch cords to the front of the pressbox panel. In one position (marked
by a dot on the switch) the switch should combine the corresponding lines. In the other position the switch should separate
the lines. The user may set up the FCM to combine any two lines via the thumbwheels on the WIM 8. Please note, there are a
total of four (4) FCMs in the NG system, two on the sidelines unit and two in the pressbox unit. Any unused FCMs should be
set to “0/0”. Also, a particular line can only be selected on one FCM. That means if you set up one FCM to “1/2” and another
to “2/5”, undesired results will occur since “2” was used in both FCMs…
•
Ringdown Circuits
—Test and verify the correct operation of the ringdown circuits. Also, after completing ringdown
testing, double check the regular intercom lines to insure that they have not been affected by the power up of the pressbox
unit and the connection and implementation of the ringdown circuits.
NOTE: The ringdown circuits will not function if there
is no AC power available to the sideline unit. This power can come from an external outlet or via the UPS. If the unit is not
connected to AC power, and the UPS is discharged, the ringdown circuits will not function.
Once you have followed the previous steps, proceed to set up a complete wired system. This should be done regardless of the
planned use of wireless components. This will insure that, should you have a problem with the wireless part of the system; the
wired system will be in place. Always plug the pressbox unit into A/C power. Now you are ready to proceed to wireless system
setup.
