IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

For your safety, it is important to read and follow these

instructions before operating an IFB-104 Interface:

(1) WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not

expose an IFB-104 Interface to rain or moisture. Do not operate an

IFB-104 Interface near water, or place objects containing liquid on it.

Do not expose an IFB-104 Interface to splashing or dripping water.

(2) For proper ventilation, make sure ventilation openings are not

blocked. Install the IFB-104 Interface according to the directions in the

Installation Chapter of this manual.

(3) Do not install an IFB-104 Interface near a heat source such as a

radiator, heat register, stove, or other apparatus (including amplifiers)

that produces heat.Do not place naked flame sources such as candles

on or near an IFB-104 Interface.

(4) Only use attachments/accessories specified by Clear-Com

Communication Systems.

(5) Unplug the IFB-104 Interface during lightning storms or when

unused for long periods of time.

(6) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is

required when:

• The IFB-104 Interface has been damaged in any way, such as

when a power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

• Liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the IFB1-4

Interface chassis.

• The IFB-104 Interface has been exposed to rain or moisture.

• The IFB-104 Interface does not operate normally.

• The IFB-104 Interface has been dropped.

Please familiarize yourself with the safety symbols in Figure 1. When

you see these symbols on an IFB-104 Interface, they warn you of the

potential danger of electric shock if the IFB-104 Interface is used

improperly. They also refer you to important operating and

maintenance instructions in the manual.

Please read and follow

these instructions

before operating an

IFB-104 Interface.

OPERATION

DESCRIPTION

The IFB-104 provides an easy way to connect Matrix panels to on-air

talent using IFB (Interruptible Foldback).

The interface provides an audio-balanced program input to a Matrix

frame and sends IFB outputs to on-air talent. Both the input and output

are transformer isolated.

The IFB-104 back panel has enough connectors to accommodate as

many as four Matrix frames and four on-air talents. Each of the four

pairs represents a Matrix frame port. Although each pair can have

separate inputs and outputs, each of the four pairs do not have to be

used together. Input for each output can come from any source and

one input can be used for all four outputs. In addition, the inputs do not

have to be IFB-related, but can contain other program material.

The front panel has only one indicator. This indicator lights up when

power is connected to the IFB-104. Power is only necessary if the

talent receivers require it.

• The IFB-104 is used

primarily to connect a

director to on-air

talent.

INSTALLATION

To install the IFB-104:

1. Connect the female XLR-3 connectors (J101, J201, J301, and/or

J401) to the program feed(s).

2. Connect the RJ-45 connectors (J102, J202, J302, and/or J402) to a

Matrix frame.

3. Configure the Matrix port through the Eclipse Configuration Software

(ECS), which has declared the IFB-104 as a direct 4-wire port

connection.

4. Connect the XLR-3 male (J103, J203, J303, and/or J403) to an on-

air talent receiver.

5. Move the slide switch to WET if the on-air talent receiver requires

power and to DRY if it doesn’t require power. Use the WET setting

with a Clear-Com talent receiver.

6. Connect power to the appropriate connector on the left of the back

panel.

Following is an illustration of how one panel can be connected to an

on-air talent receiver that requires power using the IFB-104.
