Station, is a component used in the

via the speaker switch and the speaker
dm
network.
The System Concept Block Diagram, Figure
1-1,
shows User Station interconnection, and User Station
connection to the system power supply.
User Station interconnection can be: 1) centrally
wired, with each cable coming from a central point, or
2) distributed, where all the user stations are looped
together from one to another, or 3) a combination of
both. The centrally wired interconnection not only
reduces interchannel crosstalk, but also allows for
easier expansion into an assignable channel, multi-
channel system.
The RMS3OO Block Diagram, Figure 1-2, shows user
station functional components, input/output
connections, and controls.
The RMS3OO User Station has the following
functional components:
1) a microphone preamplifier with limiter
2) an electronic microphone switch
3) a "bilateral current source" line driver
4) a listen volume control
5)
a headphone amplifier
6) a speaker amplifier
7) a speaker switch
8)
a channel selector switch
The microphone preamplifier/limiter
converts the small microphone signal to a strong
line level signal
conditions the signal strength from loud and soft
talkers to be almost the same
sends the signal to the line via the microphone switch
and a "bilateral current source".
The bilateral current source adds signal, via the
channel select switch, to the line without affecting any
signals already on the line. The bilateral current
source also extracts the listen signal from the line and
sends it to the headphone amplifier via the volume
control. Some of the user's own voice signal
("sidetone") is also fed to the headphone amplifier.
The user station voltage regulator takes power from
channel
1,
regardless of the channel selector switch
setting (exception: local power option units). The
regulator not only supplies regulated power to the
user station, but also prevents unwanted interaction
between the user station and theat intercom line
which is supplying the power. Because the regulator
takes power from channel
1,
channel 2 can be
expanded into many channels by using a switch and,
for each channel, a separate wire and a termination
network consisting of a 200 ohm resistor and a 10
microfarad capacitor in series. (See the Application
Diagrams
in
the
TW
Intercom Systems Technical
Manual).
A
TW
System Power Supply terminates a line with
200 ohms.
1.1.2 Operational Controls
The RMS300 User Station has the following controls,
described and shown in Section
3:
1) Channel Select Switch
2) Latching-action MICrophone ON-OFF toggle
switch.
3) Momentary-action MICrophone ON-OFF
pushbutton switch.
4) SpeakerlHeadphone VOLUME Control
5) CALL LIGHT switch/indicator
6) SPeaKeR ON/OFF switch
7) SIDETONE Adjustment
1.13 Connection, Inputs and Outputs
The RMS300 User Station has four input/output con-
nectors:
1) DYNamic MICrophone type HeaDSeT or handset
2) CARBON MICrophone type headset or handset
3) Line INPUT (ties the station to the intercom line
4) LOOP/EXTension (allows another station to
access the line through the first station. Also called
loop- through.)
