Tecpro Belt Packs
Tecpro belt packs are tough, lightweight, remote intercom stations which are typically hung from the belt but can be used freestanding or mounted on a suitable surface.
Tecpro Belt Packs
They offer full-duplex operation and have been designed for portable use where care may not always be taken by the user. Series 2 beltpacks retain the robustness and simplicity of previous Tecpro designs while extending their performance to meet current operational requirements. They are compatible with earlier designs of Tecpro equipment. Six versions are available, for communication on either single or dual circuits.
The beltpacks are designed to be used on a circuit powered with either a Tecpro power supply or a Tecpro Master Station, although they may also be used with intercom systems made by other manufacturers; please request a data sheet for compatibility details. Each beltpack is otherwise self-contained, requiring only a headset and a cable to connect to the intercom circuit. Headset earpieces are wired in mono; the headset is connected to a 4-pin male XLR connector. A range of headsets is offered, but any headset with a microphone of nominally 200 ohms impedance and earpieces of 8-4000 ohms impedance may be used. Each beltpack has a powerful headphone amplifier; the microphone amplifier incorporates a limiter to prevent distortion due to input overload.
Single circuit beltpacks allow the user to communicate on a single ‘party line’. A volume control adjusts the level in the headphones, the ‘Mic’ switch lets the user speak to the circuit. Dual circuit beltpacks offer simultaneous access to two separate intercom circuits; each circuit has its own volume control. Two ‘Mic’ select switches let the operator speak to either or both circuits. When talk-back from an operator is not required, one or both microphone circuits can be disabled by pressing a combination of buttons on the beltpack.
BP511 – Single Circuit
- Male and female 3-pin XLR connectors for connection to intercom circuit
- Compatible with standard microphone cables
- Loop through for ‘daisy-chaining’ beltpacks
- Single headphone level control
- Two ‘Mic’ select switches in parallel
BP523 – Dual Circuit
- Two female 3-pin XLR connectors for separate circuit connections
- Compatible with standard microphone cables
- No loop through
- Two headphone level controls
- Separate ‘Mic’ select switch for each circuit
BP525 – Dual Circuit
- Male and female 5-pin XLR connectors for connection to two intercom circuits
- Uses dedicated cables
- Loop through for ‘daisy-chaining’ beltpacks
- Two headphone level controls
- Separate ‘Mic’ select switch for each circuit
BP531 – Single Circuit, with vibration mode
As the BP511, the BP531 also has a vibrator motor fitted but is otherwise identical. A vibration mode, similar to that used in mobile phones, is triggered when a call alert signal is received. The function can be disabled by pressing a combination of buttons on the beltpack.
BP543 – Dual Circuit, with vibration mode
As the BP523, the BP543 also has a vibrator motor fitted but is otherwise identical. A vibration mode, similar to that used in mobile phones, is triggered when a call alert signal is received. The function can be disabled by pressing a combination of buttons on the beltpack.
BP545 – Dual Circuit, with vibration mode
As the BP525, the BP545 also has a vibrator motor fitted but is otherwise identical. A vibration mode, similar to that used in mobile phones, is triggered when a call alert signal is received. The function can be disabled by pressing a combination of buttons on the beltpack.
