Remote Power Mode
The remote power mode menu allows for the power setting of the TRX transmitters to be adjusted.
The TRX transmitter have three selectable power settings:
• NORMAL - The transmitters are at full transmitting power.
• WAKE - If the TRX transmitter is set to REMOTE STANDBY it will power up to a non-transmitting super
low power mode. A TRX transmitter in this state will use approximately 25% of the power of full
operations. This may be helpful if you have to mic someone who will not be on set for a while and you
want to conserve battery life.
To use this feature set the TRX menu set the BOOT UP MODE to REMOTE STANDBY. When in REMOTE
STANDBY the TRX, when powered up, will remain in standby mode until it receives the wake
command from the IFB200 to wake it. Once the TRX is awoken the only way the TRX will go back into
this mode is with a power cycle.
So when “WAKE” is selected in this menu the TRX transmitter will go to full power.
• LOW 2- Low 2 disables the RF power amplifier, RF board and microphone pre-amp on the TRX
transmitter. In LOW 2 mode the TRX will use approximately 50% of the power of normal operations
which will extend the battery life of the transmitter.
The TRX transmitter can be put into or taken out of LOW 2 mode when selected in this menu. The TRX
transmitter can be put into, and taken out of, Low 2 mode as often as you like.
Settings:
• 0: POWER=ON – Normal operation - the TRX will be fully powered ON
•
1: POWER=ON – Normal operation (same as 0) filler to prevent accidental power setting adjustment.
•
2: POWER=ON – Normal operation (same as 0) filler to prevent accidental power setting adjustment.
•
3: POWER=ON – Normal operation (same as 0) filler to prevent accidental power setting adjustment.
•
4: POWER=ON – Normal operation (same as 0) filler to prevent accidental power setting
adjustment.
• 5: POWER=WAKE – This would be select to wake a TRX transmitter to full power when the boot up
mode is set to remote standby.
