1 IFB-828 Description
The IFB-828 interfaces up to eight RTS Systems’ Model
IFB-325, 4020, or 4030 IFB Belt Packs to any RTS Digital
Matrix Intercom System, and it provides power to the
beltpacks.
The IFB-828 may also be used as a simple program
interface to feed two separate program sources to each of
eight 4020 or 4030 belt packs (16 program sources to eight
belt packs total).
2 Installation in an RTS Digital Matrix
1 Mount the IFB-828 in an equipment rack or bay. It
should be positioned near eye height when sitting or
standing to permit adjustment of the IFB program
levels and to check the power indicator lights. There
are no special ventilation requirements.
☞IFB-828 Location: The XLR connector outputs from
the IFB-828 provide unbalanced audio and DC
operating power to IFB belt packs.Therefore, very
long cable runs (over several hundred feet) from the
IFB-828 to the belt packs may result in diminished
performance due to DC resistance in the cabling and
noise induced by surrounding equipment. Select a
location for the IFB-828 that is as close as possible to
the belt packs, or use appropriate precautions
(shielded cable, heavier gauge stranded wire, routing
away from unshielded equipment, etc.) For broadcast
applications you will typically locate the IFB-828 in the
audio booth near the talent location, and no special
precautions are required.
2 Set the voltage selector switch on the back panel:
Select 110 for 110/120 V, 50/60 Hz operation
Select 220 for 220/240 V, 50/60 Hz operation
3 Connect a 25-pair telco cable to J9 on the back of the
IFB-828. Run this cable back to the audio distribution
point for the intercom system (punch blocks etc.).
4 Setup the IFB’s at the digital matrix intercom system
using the intercom system configuration software:
☞CSedit Users: see “Creating an IFB” in Section 2 of
your CSedit User Manual. For each IFB, note which
intercom port you have setup as the IFB output port.
You define this port in the IFB Out column of the
Interrupt Foldback Bus Assignments table. Also note
which intercom port you have setup as the Program
Input port.You define this port in the Def Inp column
of the table.
☞ADAMedit Users: select the IFB button on the
ADAMedit toolbar, then double-click on an IFB to
open the Edit IFB dialogue window for that IFB. For
each IFB that you setup, note which intercom port
you have set as the IFB output port in the Output text
box or list box. Also note which intercom port you
Figure 1. IFB-828 Reference View

5
have setup as the Program Input port in the Input text
box or list box.
5 Once you have configured the required IFB’s, also be
sure to assign them to keypanel keys:
☞CSedit Users: see “Keypanel Setup” in Section 2 of
your CSedit User Manual.
☞ADAMedit Users: select the KP button on the toolbar,
then press F1 to get help on keypanel setup.
6 For each IFB that you setup:
a. Connect from the output port of the matrix (that
you defined in step 4) to an available IFB input of
the IFB-828. Make the connections at the audio
distribution point where you have connected the
cable from J9 of the IFB-828. See Table for pin
numbers.
b. Connect the IFB program audio source both to the
intercom port that you defined as the program
input port of the matrix (in step 4) AND also
connect the IFB program audio source to the
direct program input of the selected channel of
the IFB-828.
7 Connect from the appropriate 3-pin XLR output
connector of the IFB-828 to the LINE ( or LINES )
connector of the IFB belt pack.Typical cable wiring is
shown in Figure .
☞In the factory-default configuration, the IFB-325 Belt
Packs receives IFB audio on pin 3 of its XLR
connector. In this configuration, the belt pack’s
internal shorting plug J3 is set to pins 2 and 3
shorted. This is NOT the correct configuration for use
with the IFB-828.To change the setting, open the belt
pack and reset the J3 shorting plug so that pins 4
and 5 are shorted. Refer to your IFB-325 Manual for
further information.
8.Connect an earset to the IFB belt pack. The Model
IFB-325 accepts only monaural earsets. The Models
4020 and 4030 accept either monaural or stereo
earsets. However, for the standard application of the
IFB-828, only a monaural earset is required.

9 Set all belt pack volume controls and all level
controls on the IFB-828 to minimum.
10 Plug in the IFB-828 power cord.The main power
LED on the front panel should light, and each
channel LED should light indicating that power is
being supplied to the belt pack output on that
channel. Ensure that the matrix is operational and
that all program sources are operational.
11 During normal operation (no IFB interrupts
activated) have each talent position adjust their
belt pack volume control for a comfortable program
listening level. (Use the INTERRUPT control on a
model 4020 or 4030 belt pack.)
12 For each IFB: activate the keypanel key that is
assigned to that IFB.The program audio should be
interrupted at the associated IFB belt pack, and the
mic
Table 1. Input Connector Pin-out (J9)

6
audio from the keypanel should become audible.
While the IFB key is activated, adjust the
appropriate level control on the front panel of the
IFB-828 to mix the desired amount of direct
program audio back into the keypanel’s mic audio
signal. When the IFB key is released, the mic
audio should cut off, and the normal program
audio level should be restored.
13 This completes the installation procedure to use
the IFB-828 with an RTS digital matrix.
3 Using the IFB-828 as a Simple
Program Interface with 4020 and
4030 Belt Packs
Use Table and the cable wiring in Figure to connect one
or two program sources to each IFB-828 channel. In this
application, each direct program input at the IFB-828 feeds
to the Non-interrupt channel of the belt pack, and the level
is adjusted by the NON-INTERRUPT control on the belt
pack; each IFB input feeds to the Interrupt channel and is
adjusted by the INTERRUPT control.The control on the
IFB-828 front panel can be used to mix the NON-INTER-
RUPT audio into the INTERRUPT audio.
