What is Portacom?

PortaCom Intercom System is a portable two-channel communication device that’s simple to set up and easy to use. The main system components include: PC-2000 Power Console, BP-2000 Beltpacks & H-2000 &/or H-2000S Headsets.

Station-to-station connections are made using standard microphone cable with 3-pin XLR connectors.

The PC-2000 Power Console has four output jacks to make a 4-headset system. You can add more headsets/users to the system by using the B3-2000 Branch Box to expand and reconfigure your system for use in almost any situation. A typical 6-headset system using one B3-2000 is illustrated here:




H-2000 and H02000S portacom Headsets

PortaCom comes with single-earpiece (H-2000S) and/or dual-earpiece (H-2000) headsets.  To use, plug the headset cable into the bottom of the BP-2000 Beltpack.  Adjust the headset listening level using the Headset Volume Control on the beltpack.

The headset’s female 4-pin XLR connector plugs into the 4-pin XLR jack on the bottom of the beltpack.

BP-2000 Beltpacks

The BP-2000 Beltpack has a female 3-pin XLR Line Input Jack and a male 4-pin XLR Headset Jack.  Both jacks are located on the bottom side of the beltpack. The power is supplied through the microphone cable by the PC-2000 Power Console. The BP-2000 controls can be found on the beltpack top and feature: Headset Volume Control, A/B Channel Switch, Mic Mute Button & Call Light & Button

The Headset Volume Control adjusts only the individual headset listening level, not the volume level of the entire system. Setting the Mic Mute Button to “on” enables the headset microphone. Setting the button to “off” will short or mute the microphone. The Mic Mute Button does not affect the headset listening volume. Pushing the Call Button will light the Call Light on all beltpacks connected to the system. Use the Call Light to alert any users who may not be wearing their headsets.
 
PC-2000 Power Console

The PC-2000 Power Console can power up to 20 BP-2000 Beltpacks over a combined total of 2,500 feet of cable.  It has a power switch, an input for connecting the AC adapter, and four 3-pin XLR output jacks. Using the RM-100 bracket you can mount one or two PC-2000s in a standard rack. Beltpacks are connected to the PC-2000 using standard mic cable with 3-pin XLR connectors.
