4.2.1.1
To connect partyline equipment to the Base station
1)
Check that the partyline LED on the front-panel is out, which indicates
that the partyline connection is disabled from the Base station.

2)
Connect, and if appropriate, power up, the external partyline equipment.
3)
Enable the partyline by pressing the “enable” button on the Base station’s
front panel.

The Base station detects power and termination settings when the partyline is

When the FS II Base station detects a wired partyline being connected with 30
VDC on Pin 2, it does not enable the 24-VDC power supply that the FS II Base
station supplies to the connector to support a handful of locally connected wired
partyline beltpacks. The Base station then appears to the wired partyline system
as a remote station.

The first call to a Partyline channel A or B results in the call alert and subsequent
ones do not give any further alerting unless the Partyline channel buttons on the
Base station are toggled. This prevents all calls giving alerts when this is not
necessary.

4.2.2
Connecting directly to Clear-Com partyline beltpacks
PL CH-A and PL CH-B have the ability to directly support up to four Clear-Com RS-
501/601/701 partyline beltpacks each, without any other connection to a wired
partyline system. This feature gives the convenience of being able to add a few
wired beltpacks when needed to an FS II installation.

Connect a standard two-conductor shielded microphone cable to the PL CH-A
connector, and then connect it to a Clear-Com single-channel partyline beltpack.
Enable the partyline and the Base station will enable the required 200-ohm
termination, and will supply 24-VDC to Pin 2 to power the beltpack(s)
connector, and then connect it to a Clear-Com single-channel partyline beltpack.
Enable the partyline and the Base station will enable the required 200-ohm
termination, and will supply 24-VDC to Pin 2 to power the beltpack(s)
It is possible to daisy-chain up to four beltpacks, or use an intercom XLR splitter
at the Base station to feed microphone cables connected to the individual
beltpacks. Because it is a 24-volt rather than a 30-volt current, the maximum
length of cable that can be connected (the sum of all of the runs) will be shorter
than what is expected with the standard partyline voltage. Do the same with PL
CH-B to support an additional four beltpacks.
