1 General
The BP-2002 is an attractive 2-channel beltpack in a modern design and with an impact-proof plastic housing. During
the design phase, particular attention was paid to easy access of the controls and the visibility of the call light in
practical use. Marks on the keys and the layout of the controls enable “blind” operation. The volume controls are
mounted on the side for ease of operation. The talk keys are marked differently and include LED indicators. The call
light has a particularly large design, thus guaranteeing the required visibility. Apart from the call light, the beltpack also
features an S-CALL button. With the BP-2002 you can now also talk to the radio users or switch to the paging system
for announcements directly from the beltpack. Connection is established via a 3-pin XLR with loop-through, and a 4-
pin XLR is used for the headset. The BP-2002 can be pre-programmed depending on the application, i.e. a buzzer can
be activated in addition to the call light. The BP-2002 is compatible with ASL, Clear-Comand RTS/TelexSystems.

2.3 Rear view
2.4 Control elements and connectors
The BP-2002 is a 2-channel beltpack and therefore has two talk keys and two volume controls. The talk keys are
labelled “I” and “II“. The volume controls are allocated to the relevant talk keys and channels.
The call light key is marked with the letter “L“ and also located at the front of the unit.
To activate the S-CALL, there is a key marked “S” just underneath the volume control on the right-hand side of the unit.
On the right, next to the buttons are channel indicator LEDs. They tell you whether a particular talk key is activated or
not.
The call light indicator is located on the top of the housing.
On the underside of the unit, you will find the XLR connectors for connecting and looping through the intercom line (3-
pin), as well as a 4-pin XLR for the headset.
On the back of the unit are two sidetone trimmers, which are allocated to the two channels, as well as a belt clip.
2.5 Connecting the beltpack to a Riedel Party Line (RPL)
The beltpack is a portable headset station powered through the intercom wiring using the PS-2002 or PS-2004 power
supply.
The beltpack is connected to the party line via a 3-pin XLR plug and is ready for use immediately. The headset is
connected via the 4-pin XLR male headset connector.

3 Operation
3.1 Talk
3.1.1 Talk key properties
The Talk keys have touch and latch functions. Pressing the key briefly represents the latch function for switching on and
off. If the key is held down for a longer period, the touch function will be activated. In this case, the Talk function will be
active for as long as the key is held down.
3.1.2 Talking to intercom channels
There are two Talk keys, one for each intercom channel. They are marked “I“ and “II“. Press Talk key “I” to talk to
intercom channel I. The active Talk function is indicated by the corresponding LED.
Talk I active
3.2 Listen
A volume control is provided for each channel on the right-hand side of the unit. The top one controls the volume of
Channel 1 and the bottom one the volume of Channel 2. To increase the volume, rotate the knob clockwise.
Note: If the headset is put down and the Talk function is active, depending on the volume of the headset, feedback
can occur. Therefore, before putting the headset down, always switch off the Talk function. Activated Talk keys can be
switched off remotely using the “Mic Kill” function on the MS-2004 and MS-2002 master stations.
3.3 Call Light
3.3.1 Sending a call light signal
You can only send a call light signal to a channel where the Talk function has been activated. If the channel is
switched to “Talk”, the corresponding LED indicator lights up. By pressing the call light key marked “L”, the call light
signal is allocated to the channel with the Talk function preselected and sent to it. The call light illuminates on all
beltpacks in the party line unless it has been suppressed by beltpack-setup. Your own call light will also be illuminated
for the duration of the call.

3.3.2 Receiving a call light signal
If the beltpack receives a call light signal from the party line, the call light will be illuminated.
3.3.3 Calling channel identification
In connection with the call light lamp the channel indicator shows on which channel it receives the call light signal.
If the Talk function of the beltpack is not active on the channel called, then the channel indicator flashes to show this.
Otherwise (with active Talk on the channel called), only the call light lamp flashes.
3.3.4 Buzzer
By programming the beltpack, you can switch in an acoustic signal in addition to the call light signal. This causes a
buzzer in the beltpack to sound if a call light signal is received. The buzzer is not activated in the factory default
setting. If the buzzer is activated and the beltpack receives a call light signal, you can mute the buzzer by pressing the
S-CALL key. The buzzer will sound again with the next call light signal received. Pressing the S-CALL button during a
call light to mute the buzzer does not trigger an S-CALL, but only deactivates the buzzer. It is only if the S-CALL key is
pressed yet again that an S-CALL is sent to the activated channels.
Call light signal on Channel I
3.4 S-CALL key “S”
You can only send an S-CALL to a channel where the Talk function has been activated. If the channel is switched to
“Talk”, the corresponding LED indicator lights up. By pressing the S-CALL key marked “S”, a “Special Call” is generated
and allocated to the channel with the Talk function preselected and sent to it. It switches a relay in the MS-2004
master station and in the IF-2004 2/4-wire interface for the duration of the key-press.
By using the appropriate relay in the MS-2004 master station or IF-2004 4-wire interface, you can, for example, key the
transmitter of a radio base station to talk to radio users or switch to a paging system for an announcement, turn on a
cue-light etc.
3.5 Sidetone trimmers
On the back of the unit are two sidetone trimmers, one above the other. The top trimmer is responsible for setting the
talk-back (sidetone) for Channel I. The trimmer underneath adjusts the sidetone of Channel II.

Röttgen 8, D-42109 Wuppertal, Alterations reserved
Tel. +49 (0) 202 / 270 370

You can adjust the talk-back from the user’s own microphone to the headset earpieces to suit the requirements of the
user for each channel using the sidetone trimmer. To avoid malfunction please make sure that the controls are not right
up to the left-hand stop.
3.6 Mic Kill
The beltpack detects the Mic Kill signal (sent from a master station) to turn off the active Talk function on the respective
channel. In this way it is possible to switch off all open microphones on the particular channel from the master stations.
4 Programming
4.1 Programmable options
If the intercom supply is applied, the BP-2002 can be programmed to special operating conditions in which the unit
can be used. If the intercom power supply is switched off or the unit is unplugged, the programming remains in
memory.

5.2 Intercom Line Connector
At this point, it is important to observe the different modes for RPL and Clear-Com. In RPL mode, two channels are
available on a 3-pin XLR connector. In CC mode, by contrast, pin 2 is used only for the supply voltage of 30 VDC+. No
audio is provided on pin 2. The intercom connectors are looped through. Accordingly, pin 1 (female) is connected to
pin 1 (male), and so on.
