AtlasIED System Function Description
The versatile AL-MAGPIE microphone performs the functions of a wireless microphone
and a microphone volume control. It can be used as a handheld microphone, a lapel
microhone with included lanyard (AL-LANYARD), or a belt pack microphone with optional
AL-HSM headset. Each AL-MAGPIE has a switch located under the battery door used to
set its IR Channel to either A or B. One AL-MAGPIE must be set to Channel A and the
other AL-MAGPIE must be set to Channel B. The system will not function properly if there
are two AL-MAGPIEs set to the same IR channel.
Also located under the battery door is the Lockout switch. When this is engaged all
function buttons are disabled and the unit can be used as a microphone only.
To turn the microphone on or off, press the power button for three seconds. When the
two panic buttons are pressed simultaneously, a signal is sent to AL2430 Receiver/
Amplifier. This closes its panic output relay. The panic output relay can be connected to
an external system, for example: the school’s paging/intercom system to alert someone
of an event in the classroom that requires immediate attention. If the unit fails to turn on,
place in active charging receptacle for 4 seconds, remove the charging base and press the
power button.
When the two Panic buttons are pressed simultaneously, a signal is sent to the AL2450
amplifier / receiver. This closes its Panic Output relay. The Panic Output relay can be
connected to an external system, for example: the school’s paging / intercom system to
alert someone of an event in the classroom that requires immediate attention.
