GENERAL
The Audiocom® US-2000 is a microprocessor controlled two-channel
intercom user station, that occupies only 1/2-rack space. The US-2000
can communicate with an entire intercom system or an individual
channel, and can be expanded up to 18 channels. ES-4000 Expansion
Stations can be “daisy chained” to the US-2000 to add four channels at a
time to the intercom system. Each channel can be programmed for talk,
listen or both. The US-2000 can use mono or stereo headsets, or panel
mounted microphone. VOX operation can be selected for either headset
or panel microphone. Internal switch and jumper settings allow the unit
to be used with Clear-Com® components, if desired. Other internal
switch and jumper settings allow the unit to be uniquely configured to the
operator’s requirements.

INITIAL US-2000 SETUP
The channel termination is initially set for balanced operation, which is
compatible with other Audiocom® equipment. If the unit is going to be
connected to Clear-Com equipment, two jumpers and one switch must
be changed as described in the section on Clear-Com Setup in this
manual.
The US-2000 is factory set to allow all channels (including those of any
attached ES-4000 units) to be heard through a single powered speaker,
such as the Audiocom® SPK-1000. If the user wants to have each
channel go to a separate powered speaker, three jumpers must be
changed as described in the section on Speaker Setup in this manual.
The headset microphone termination is initially set for unbalanced
operation. To change the headset microphone termination, refer to
Table 2 in this manual for the position of jumper J16. If the termination
requirement of a headset microphone is unknown, the recommended
setting is unbalanced.

Program Inputs
Connector and Program Volume Controls
In a television studio intercom system, the program input is usually
the actual program audio signal. In another intercom system, the
program input can be any auxiliary audio signal, such as background
music.
There is a separate program input for each channel (see Connector
Pin Configurations for connector details). The
VOL PGM 1
control
adjusts the program 1 level heard on intercom channel 1. The
VOL
PGM 2
control adjusts the program 2 level heard on intercom chan-
nel 2. As supplied, the US-2000 does not interrupt the program in-
puts during talk. Program interrupt during talk requires an internal
switch change (see Table 1, switches SW2-4 and SW2-5).
14.
12-15 VDC
Input Jack
Normally the US-2000 is powered from the intercom system and will
turn on with the intercom system. The US-2000 may also be pow-
ered from an optional Telex® Wall Pack (part number 532006-000).
Plug the Wall Pack into the
12-15 VDC
jack and into an AC outlet.
15.
P.A.

iary input of an amplifier. These outputs should not be directly con-
nected to an unpowered speaker. Refer to the speaker setup
section in this manual.
18.
CHN 1
and
CHN 2
Intercom Channel Connectors
Each intercom channel has a pair of connectors (one male and one
female) for convenient interconnection of stations. Each pair of con-
nectors is wired together in parallel, providing a “loop through” at
each connector pin. Use one connector of each pair to connect to
the intercom power supply. Use the other connector of each pair to
run a cable to another user station.
CHANNEL TERMINATION
Each channel of the US-2000 must be terminated to prevent audio
oscillations. When a channel is connected to a Telex® power supply,
channel termination is provided within the power supply for that channel.
External channel termination must be installed when a channel is:
·Used in a “dry-line” (non-powered channel) application
·Unused and un-powered
If necessary, install external channel termination by connecting a 300W
resistor across pins 2 and 3 of the intercom channel connector (either
CHN1
or
CHN2
) at the rear of the US-2000.
INTERNAL SWITCHES, JUMPERS AND ADJUSTMENTS
There are several internal switches, jumpers and adjustments that affect
operation. These are described below. To gain access to the switches,
jumpers and adjustments, remove one screw from the top of the cover
and two screws on each side. Switch, jumper and adjustment locations
8
are shown in Figure 2. The adjustments are also accessible from the
underside of the US-2000, as shown in Figure 3.
NOTE: To activate a changed switch or jumper setting, either
perform a RESET or cycle the power on and off.
