*When “Lazy button” is pushed, RPU500 also sends a sub-tone in addition to the audio.
Standard Wisycom tones are the following:
- Lazy 1: 32687 Hz
- Lazy 2: 32869 Hz
- Lazy 3: 33013 Hz
Other sub-tones can be configured in Wisycom factory.
Wisycom receiver MRK980 detect the sub-tones and informs the mixer via the Ctrl1 Ethernet port with Ember +
protocol. From the mixer it is therefore possible to configure the audio routing according to your needs.

RF menu:
Thanks to the RF menu is possible to configure all the RF parameters
related to the transmission.
Freq. menu:
In this menu current channel/group and frequencies can be setup.
Channel frequency (in 5kHz step)
Group number (1 to 40) and group name (8 char.)
Channel number (0 to 60)
Max power allows at set frequency
Use the selector and arrows to change values and SAVE to confirm.
Sync group is a quick self-settable channel synchronized by receiver (with SYNC group, on the top
right of the display is shown the name of the synchronized receiver).
NOTE:
The device has 40 groups of 60 channels each. Connecting with computer with WISYCOM MANAGER
software, it is possible to hide single channels or even complete groups of channels: once hidden
those items are not shown anymore on the channels or groups selection. To show channels or
groups hidden use again the WISYCOM MANAGER software.
Using this software it is also possible to lock channels or groups. When a channel is locked, it is not
possible to change the frequency from the front panel of the device. Locking a group means that all
channels are locked. When a channel or a group are locked, at the left of the group name will appear
a lock icon as shown thus changing frequency is not possible.
Power:
RF power can be set in 3 levels: Low, Mid and High.
These 3 levels can be configured by the user with WISYCOM MANAGER.
Factory pre-configured values in Wisycom are: Low 100mW, Mid 300mW and High 1000mW.
Modulation Bandwidth:
Select the type of modulation bandwidth:
RPU500-Tx User Manual

WB (Wideband) : 40kHz of nominal deviation, 56kH of peak deviation and 50÷21kHz of AF
bandwidth
NB (Narrowband) : 35kHz of nominal deviation, 25kH of peak deviation and 50÷17kHz of
AF bandwidth
Start on:
This menu allows to decide if activate or not the transmission of the tone at 28kHz to engage the
channel during the startup (no audio).
If set to No: while the RPU500 is powering on, the RF output remains mute. To activate the
transmission, select the Talk or Lazy buttons.
Pwr profile:
Wisycom pre-configure a Power Profile in the memory of the device which automatically limit the RF
level and/or the frequency ranges according to the county specification.
With NONE Pwr profile, no limit is configured.
Audio menu:
Thanks to the Audio menu is possible to configure all the audio
parameters.
Mic gain:
To change gain from 0 to 38 dB on MIC/LINE IN audio input port.
Phantom:
To enable phantom power (12V or 48V)according to the microphone connected.
Limiter:
To enable audio limiter.
MIC HPF:
To set audio High Pass Filter (FLAT/60/80/120/170/240 Hz)
MIC LPF:
To set audio Low Pass Filter (20/15/12/10/7/4 Hz)

Aux con.:
To set jack 3.5mm audio connector as auxiliary input or as headphone output.
Aux gain:
To adjust audio level on the auxiliary input (from 0 to 38 dB, 2 dB step)
Input mix:
To define audio inputs and mix different audio sources
(MIC/AUX/REC/MIC+AUX/MIC+REC/AUX+REC)
Compander:
To select audio compander. Firmware version v1.0 supports only ENS compander. Other
companders will be available very soon.
Options menu:
Thanks to the Option menu is possible to verify:
- Information of device (Serial, Hw version, Fw version)
- Status of the device (alarms, RF diagnostic, Supply diagnostic, Battery
status)
The Display sub-menu allows to change display parameters like brightness
and timeout.
To set the factory parameters select the Factory submenu.
