THE CLEAR-COM CONCEPT

Clear-Com

a closed-circuit intercom system that consistently provides high-

clarity communication in high-noise and low-noise environments. A basic sys-

tem consists

a single- or multi-channel

power

supply

main station con-

nected to various single-

multi-channel remote stations,

such

as beltpacks

and

loudspeaker stations.

Clear-Com manufacrures a wide variety

both portable

and

fixed-installation

units.

All

are compatible with

each

other. Clear-Com intercom systems

can

also interface with

?ther

communication systems

and

devices.

Clear-Com stations are interconnected with two-conductor, shielded micro-

phone

cable, using 3-pin

XLR

connectors.

One

wire carries

the

power

(28-30 volts) from a main station or power supply to all remote stations,

and

the

other wire carries 2-way (duplex) audio information. The shield acts as a

common

ground.

One

termination

(per

channel)

needed

throughout the in-

tercom network,

and

usually located

the

main station or

power

supply.

Clear-Com

a distributed amplifier system; each main

and

remote

station

houses its

own

mic preampliller, headset

speaker

power

amplifier,

and

signaling drcuitry. Low-impedance mic input lines (200 Ohms)

and

specially

designed circuitry make Clear-Com channels virrually immune to

RFI

and dim-

mer

noise.

Clear-Com main stations, power supplies

and

certain remote stations

each

have

auxiliary program input with its

own

volume control, which allows

exter-

nal audio source to

fed to the intercom system.

Visual Signal Circuitry

(CALL

Lights), a standard fearure

most main

and

re-

mote stations, allows the user to attract the attention

operators

who

have re-

moved their headsets.

Depending

upon

the type

main

and

remote stations selected

and

assuming

that

enough

power

available, a maximum

number

remote stations

from

(all speaker stations) to 30 (all headset stations)

can

distributed

along a mile

wire. Remote stations bridge the intercom line

a very high

impedance (>10 KOhms), and place a minimum load

the line.

The

audio

level always remains constant, and does not flucruate

and

join

the

network.

INSTALLATION

This section discusses the installation

intercom system.

Typical applications, overall installation theory,

and

detail

each

connector,

and

adjustment

the

RM-220

are discussed.

INSTALLATION OVERVIEW

This section describes the Clear-Com concept in intercom line interconnection.

The

following subjects are discussed:

• Intercom Line Connection

• Line Termination

• Station Powering

• Cable Considerations

Intercom Line Connection:

The

RM-220

provides a male

and

female

XLR-3

connector for

each

intercom

line that

are

"looped through".

Line Termination:

The

fundamental concept

Clear-Com Party-Line intercom is that all stations

provide high impedance current sourced signals into a single

common

system

termination.

The

line drivers in a station have a source

impedance

greater

than

10 KOhms.

The

receive

"listen" section

stations contain a 'hybrid null' circuit that at-

tempts

reject (null) any "talk" signal being sent

that station

that chan-

nel.

The

'hybrid null' circuit

depends

known

impedance

the

intercom

line

accomplish this. Variations in impedance

line

upset

the

'null'.

CAUTION:

All

Clear-Com Intercom lines must

terminated.

Care

must

taken

not

fail

terminate

'double' terminate a line.

All

unused

in-

tercom inputs must

terminated to

keep

the

line drive circuits stable.

The

RM-220

does

not

provide termination

main stations

and

power

supplies provide switch selectable termination net-

works

all intercom

lines. It

the

user

where

the

termination will

unterminated line will cause excessive levels,

possible oscillation

line drivers,

and

sever unbalance

hybrid null net-

works. A

double

multiple terminated line will cause

low

levels

and

sever

unbalance

hybrid null circuits.

10 RM-220 2 Channel Remote Station

The

termination

intercom line (or channel) is a 220

Ohm

resistor in series

with a 4.7 KOhm that

paralleled with a

uF capacitor.

Station Powering:

The

RM-220

needs +20 to

+30

volts between pins 1

and

the intercom con-

nectors. Typical Clear-Com systems are powered

a Main Station

a Power

Supply.

Clear-Com

power

supplies can

paralleled to increase the

number

RE-

MOTE

STATIONS

that can

operated in a system.

Cable Considerations:

The

Clear-Com intercom line

intended to run

a shielded twisted pair

cable

per

channel

intercom.

One

conductor carries full duplex ("two-way")

audio, the

other

conductor carries the

power

for remote stations.

The

shield

used

for ground return for audio

and

power.

When

choosing inter-

connect cable,

keep

the following considerations in mind:

resistance

the ground

common conductor affects crosstalk.

For runs longer than 500 feet

not

use wire smaller

than

20 gauge.

2 The capacitance

the interconnect cable affects system frequency

response

and

sidetone stability. Total capacitance should

not

greater than 0.25

uFo

Portable Installation Cable: Practical cable for portable system interconnec-

tions

flexible, two-conductor, shielded microphone cable. For runs less than

500 feet a cable

made

gauge wire is acceptable. For runs longer than 500

feet

use

a 20 gauge cable

larger.

Permanent

installation Cable: Vinyl-jacketed shielded pair

the cable

choice for permanent installations. Use a low-capacitance

gauge

wire for

short runs

(under

500 feet) and 18 gauge cable for runs greater

than

500 feet.

Placing the cable in conduit

recommended but not necessary.

Multi-pair cable that is indiVidually shielded is acceptable for use in multi-

channel systems. For cross-talk considerations the shields must

tied togeth-

both

ends

the cable to

produce

the lowest possible

path

for

ground

return.
