SECTION 4

TWO-WIRE MODE:

In normal two-wire operations, the two wires within the diver commu-

nication cable are connected to the corresponding binding post (Divers

#1 and #2) on the surface unit (see Figure 2). If a four-wire cable is

used, two wires are normally twisted together for one side of the micro-

phone binding post, and the remaining two wires twisted together for

the other microphone binding post.

This configuration allows the tender to talk to the divers individually or

both divers simultaneously. The diver(s) may also communicate with

each other when the tender engages the cross-talk switch. The divers’

speaker and the surface unit speaker both function as speaker and mi-

crophone. If required, a separate microphone and earphone can be used

with the divers’ masks or helmets. If a speaker is located in a diving

bell or recompression chamber, the MK2-DCI can be used as the com-

munications link between the divers and the outside. When the system

is used where conditions are noisy, the tender can switch off the speaker

and use a headset and boom microphone. However, when using a head-

set with a boom microphone, the tender must use a push-to-talk (PTT)

button to communicate. Our headset with a boom microphone has a

PTT button located on one side of the headset. The MK2-DCI also has

a PTT. The divers’ communication is the primary signal. When the

tender uses the PTT button, his signal becomes the primary signal. If

the diver is trying to say something while the tender is talking, the ten-

der will not hear the diver until he releases the PTT button.

The divers’ helmets and/or full face masks are typically wired with the

earphones and microphones tied together. When wired like this, the

divers’ earphone and microphones are functioning together. Bubbles

passing by the earphones while the diver is talking will be picked up

via the earphones. This will cause the communications to be noisy.

When the tender is talking to the diver, his voice is heard not only from

the diver’s earphone, but also from the microphone!
