The lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol,
with an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the
user to the presence of uninsulated dangerous
voltage within the products enclosure that may be
of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock to persons.
The exclamation mark within an equilateral

1. System Introduction
•e JTS IT-12 interpretation system consists of IT-12M and IT-12D.
•e IT-12M works as main unit to provide power, input and output interface, and control.
•e IT-12D is an interpreter console allowing two interpreters work together. Interpreters can
choose either oor channel for original language for direct interpretation or relay interpretation
available via the relay select key.
• For small venue crossing interpretation is available here.
•e whole system supports 11 interpreter consoles for simultaneous interpretation and delivers
12 languages to audiences.
•e product is a stand along system. It is compatible with any conference system. So no maer
a new installation or an existing project needing expansion with interpretation IT-12 can easily
meet the requirement.
• Together with JTS wireless system and any infrared system more audiences can participate in a
conference.

3. System Installation & Connection
IT-12 Interpreter System has a compact dimension and is easy for installation. IT-12D
interpreter consoles are connected in daisy chain and the rst IT-12D is connected to the
main unit IT-12M.
A detailed description of IT-12 Interpreter System installation and connection will be
given by diagrams and examples in this chapter.

3-2 System Connection // Connection Cables
All consoles are connected via D-Sub 25-pin cable. A 25-pin 3 meter cable (with a plug
and a socket) is included in each IT-12D Interpreter Console to connect the interpreter
unit to Main Unit IT-12M or to each other. On the rear panel of IT-12D there are two
D-Sub connecters, the “INPUT” is a plug and the “OUTPUT” a socket. Connect the
plug from the 25-pin cable to the Main unit IT-12M then the socket from the 25-pin
cable to the plug “INPUT” on the rst Interpreter Console. And then connect the plug
of the second 25-pin cable to the socket “OUTPUT” of the rst Interpreter Console and
the socket is connected to the plug “INPUT” of the next Interpreter Console. en all the
interpreter units are connected in daisy chain. As many as 11 interpreter units can be
connected for 12 languages (including oor channel) interpretation. Extension cables
can be used between Interpreter Consoles and Main Unit IT-12M (IT-12-C3/C6/C12/
C18).
It is strongly recommended to use JTS tailor-made cables to ensure the best performance.

3-3 Connection of Audio Cables
Cable connection plays an important role in the long distance audio transmission.
Improper connection will result in interference. For example:
(1)Connection for Unbalanced to Balanced transmission cable:
Practical example: aer the audios from signal source of mono RCA output, they go
through to the IT-12M balanced input “LINE IN” (φ6.3mm jack) via unbalanced
output.

4. System Setup & Operation
is chapter provides a comprehensive and detailed description on how to setup and op-
erate IT-12 Interpreter System Main Unit (IT-12M) and Interpreter Console (IT-12D).
(1)OPEN Mode: Interpreter Console Output Channel Select (IT-12D)
Select the Console with one of the Channel Output key ‘1, 2… 11”; for example: If
you want this unit to be NO. 1; just press “1”. en the indicator on the key will light
on in green while the channel is not occupied. If the indicator on the key ashes in red
that means the channel is occupied by other units. When the MIC. ON/OFF of the
activated channel is at OFF state, the activate channel could be released when other
interpreter console selects the same channel number.
(2)LOCK Mode: Interpreter Console Output Channel Select (IT-12D)
Interpreter Console must be assigned with one unique output channel before being
used. e procedure is as:
a. Make sure the connection is correct, and then turn on the IT-12M.
b. Turn the “SET” seing switch from “OFF” on the rear panel of the Interpreter
Console to “ON”, the indicators of “ENTER” on the unit starts ashing. e indica-
tors of available channels will turn RED. Pay aention only one channel can be
activated.
c. Assign the Console with one of the Channel Output key “1,2….11”, for example:
If you want this unit to be NO 1, just press “1”. en the indicator on the key will
change to Green light, press “ ENTER ” key to store, the indicator of “ ENTER ”
will keep light on.
d. Turn the “SET” seing switch to “OFF”, the “ENTER” indicator will turn o, that
means the output channel selecting procedure is completed;
e. If cross interpretation is needed OPEN mode should be selected.
f. Repeat the same procedure (Steps b~d) to assign all the Interpreter Consoles.
(3)To Cancel Selected Output Channel (only for LOCK mode)
a. Turn the “SET” from “OFF” to “ON”.
b. Push the “ENTER” for 3 seconds. en all Channel Output Indicators will turn o.
c. Turn the “SET” from “ON” to “OFF”. e Console will be of factory seing now.

(4)e Operation of IT-12D Interpreter Console:
e Interpreter Console is designed with digital technologies and used in conjunction
with HPM-535 interpreter headset. Each Console allows two interpreters to work on it.
e operation procedures are as follows:
a. At LOCK mode, when the output channel is selected an interpreter only need push
the MIC ON/OFF key to activate the microphone or deactivate it.
b. At OPEN mode, an interpreter can press any Output Channel key to deliver the
correspondent language. e available channel will show a green indicator. A ash-
ing red indicator means the channel is occupied.
c. Put on the headset, adjust the microphone to an appropriate position and control
the volume (Floor language is “ORIGINAL” as defaulted). Press “MIC. A/B ON/
OFF” to start the interpretation.
d. In case the interpreter doesn’t understand the oor language. He/she can select a
language familiar with from other interpreter for relay interpretation. First press
“RELAY” key, the indicator will be on, and then switch the MONITOR to choose a
familiar language for interpretation.
e. In case the Interpreter wants to cough, keep pressing “COUGH CUT” key to cut
o the language output, release it to continue the interpretation.
f. When the speaker speaks too fast for the interpreter to follow, the interpreter can
press “SLOW” key to remind the speaker to slow down. A pulse signal will come
out as remind from the IT-12M to the speaker desk.
g. Each Interpreter Console accommodates A/B two interpreters to work, the opera-
tion A/B interpreter is the same.
