Clear-Com HelixNet HXII-BP Beltpack

HelixNet® is a networked partyline intercom with up to 24 channels and Program Audio over XLR, LAN or WAN.

The HelixNet HXII-BP beltpack is a two-channel intercom user station hosted by Arcadia® Central Station or HelixNet HMS-4X*** main station.

Beltpack

The beltpack provides two keysets assignable to any intercom channel and allows multiple channels to be uniquely stacked onto a keyset. The beltpack comes with a headset connection, independent Program Audio level control and a micro-USB Flasher connection to a third-party USB light.

HXII-BP-X5 has connection to dual ear five-pin headsets for split-ear binaural operation, allowing the user to pan the keysets channels between left and right ears.

Local and Central Management Options

HXII-BP can be added to an Arcadia or a HelixNet system host without central configuration or interruption. Front panel allows tactile device configuration and channel assignment.

Roles can be created and applied to one or multiple HXII-BP remotely or locally. Roles can be edited locally or centrally managed from the Core Configuration ManagerTM (CCM*).

Connectivity and Power Options

HXII-BP connects to Arcadia Central Station or HMS-4X*** main stations with HLI-ET2 Ethernet module over network. Power is supplied to the HXII-BP with Power over Ethernet (PoE) from 3rd party devices.

Alternatively, HXII-BP can connect to HelixNet HMS-4X*** main stations over XLR Powerline with power.**

*CCM and Endpoint network connection to HMS-4X requires HLI-ET2

**XLR Powerline is not available for Arcadia.

***HMS-4X is a legacy product as of 2022

HelixNet System Hosts

• Arcadia: Supports up to 64 HelixNet endpoints (HRM-4X, HKB-2X & HXII-BP) over Ethernet. Up to 24 Channels can be HelixNet Enabled using a Licensed Port for assignment to any HelixNet endpoints keyset.
• HMS-4X***: Supports up to 64 endpoints (HRM4X, HKB-2X, HBP-2X, HXII-BP, HLI-2W2, HLI4W2, LQ port). User stations can connect via the 2 Powerlines (note power and data limits) or over Ethernet via optional HLI-ET2 module. HMS allows use of 12 channels which can be expanded to 24 using optional license.
