FAQ's

Will the 2810A-FS Field Service kit work on my Amcommand ™ I Model 2810E-8111 One-Diver Communicator?

Yes, the 2810A-FS Field Service kit will work on both the 2810A and 2810E communicators.

Can you stack the banana plugs from the diver's communications cable so you can have two or three divers on the one diver communicator?

You can stack up to two divers on the one diver communicator. Stacking three divers is not recommended.

Can the diver listen to music if his umbilical is configured for 2-Wire communications?

No. The MP3 Player feature can only operate in 4-Wire mode.

How do I control the music volume I’m sending the diver?

There is no separate volume control provided for the MP3 player input so you will have to use the MP3 player to control the music volume.

Will the tender hear the music the diver is listening to?

No, the signal can not be heard by the tender.

Will my recording device record the music the diver is listening to?

No, the music signal is not sent to the tape recorder output.

If I were to connect my smartphone to the MP3 player input, would the diver be able to speak to someone over the phone?

Yes, however the tender is required to turn on the communicator speaker and set the phone’s microphone next to it so the caller can hear the diver. We also found that the diver’s voice can be difficult to understand for the caller, so we recommend that the diver speak very slowly and clearly.

Can I connect my AMCOM communicator to my computer so I can record audio?

Yes, you will need a cable that allows you to connect the communicator to your computer. You will also need audio recording software installed on your computer. On the back of the communicator there is a single RCA Phono jack (color-coded black) that provides a transformer isolated of both the diver and tender communications. It is designed to drive the standard line-level inputs of audio or video recorders with input impedances as low as 600 Ohms.

Why does the speaker on my communicator sound muffled?

The simplest way to fix this issue is to unplug the red banana plug from the red microphone 5-way binding post on the communicator and rotate it 180 degrees then reinstall it. This should fix your problem. For a more detailed explanation of what happened, please read below. The issue is not with the communicator, it is with the wiring of the umbilical. There is always the potential for wiring the speakers and microphone out of phase, similar to wiring the speakers on a car stereo system. There is an orientation to the banana jacks and they should be wired for proper phasing with the communicator. A banana plug does have an identified ground side marked on the plug. Amron always sets up their umbilicals so that the ground side is located on the left side so the user can consistently plug in their umbilical and avoid phasing issues. If a banana plug is plugged upside down or is wired out of phase, the sound quality will be significantly reduced. If the phasing is out and the orientation of both plugs are the same, then the banana plug wiring should be reversed on “only one plug” to avoid this issue again. It does not matter which plug you choose to reverse the wiring on.

What type of cable do I need to connect my Amron communicator to my Outland video system?

Amron communicators and Outland Technology’s video systems have a RCA Phono Jack. To connect the two systems together, you will need an audio cable with RCA Plugs on each end.

Should I use a GFI when operating my radio off AC power?

When operating your Amron Diver Communicator on AC, it is critical to use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) or isolation transformer for tender and diver safety. Surges and spikes are common on AC lines found on ships, generated locally, or at the end of long extension cable runs and can exceed 1kVolt. Such surges and spikes can cause the fuse to blow on the amplifier card assembly. The power supply is designed so that such a failure will be isolated and will not cause a safety issue to the tender or divers. It is strongly advised that your Amron Diver Communicator be operated on an AC circuit with a high quality surge arrester or an AC isolation transformer.

Can I operate my communicator while I’m charging the internal battery?

Yes, however, the charger will charge the battery at a slower rate as some of the charger power is being used to operate the communicator.

What are the environmental parameters that Amron's comms units can be used in?

Temperature: Class C Ambient Temperatures –25°C to +55°C Humidity: Class A Relative humidity up to 96% at all relevant temperatures, no condensation Vibration: Class A On bulkheads, beams, deck, bridge EMC: Class B All locations including bridge and open deck
