==Comms System==

The old comms system was replaced in January 2009 by Ewan Connor (Technical Manager) with help from Mal, Jamie McQuilkin and various others. The new system is one ring with two lines:

'''Line 1'''

Base

SL Followspot

'''Line 2'''

Base

Sound Position

LX Point

Indoor Hall

SR Followspot

Dressing Room

Stage Cupboard

(If anyones interested the reason why we didn't go the other way, ie SL Followspot, Indoor hall, Stage Cupboard, is that there was no suitable point to drop cable down to indoor hall and we didn't really want to drill any more holes lest the building collapse.)

== Wiring ==

The whole thing is now cabled with three-core xlr:

Red: Hot/Send

White: Cold/Return

Shield: Power

Within the boxes, there is a choc block connecting the incoming and outgoing xlr components with three small wires. These wires then connect to the corresponding xlr pins.

The Tech workshop was built at the beginning of Semester 1, 2008 by Mal and Ewan (Set and Tech Managers) at the same time as rebuilding the lighting store near dimming.

The purpose of the workshop is to give somewhere for the tech manager to conduct repairs and for show technicians to create custom fittings etc without messing up the [[techbox]].

The workshop also houses the cable store, lamp store and storage for all sorts of other tech fun such as: floor pars, jumps, disco ball, floodlights, speakers, mains stuff, floor stands, domestic fittings, desk lamps, strobes, random cable for projects, hook clamps, nuts and bolts, spare plugs etc etc etc.

If a cable or other piece of equipment has a problem and needs repaired put it in the drawer at the end of the desk. NB: Anything broken with a hook clamp on it goes of the F.U.C.T. bar in the lighting store.

Electrical Tape

AKA: LX tape, Leccy

Electrical Insulation Tape can usually be found in the pockets of most [[techies]]. Uses include taping cables to the rig, wrapping cables up, hiding bare bits of wire (No! Just No.), strapping gel frames together and attaching unsuspecting victims to unmovable objects.

LX is used on the cables to mark their length, we use a similar system to [[Blacklight]] except we don't include red or yellow, which are on all cables to indicate that they belong to Bedlam. Lengths are always rounded down and if there are two bands, then the lengths are added.

{| style="text-align:Center" border="1"
| length || Bedlam Colour || Black Light Colour
|-
| 1m || Brown || Brown
|-
| 2m || White || White
|-
| 3m || Purple || Purple
|-
| 5m || Blue || Blue
|-
| 10m || Green || Yellow
|-
| 20m || - || Green
|-
| 50m || - || Red
|}

LX tape is also used to identify the owner of tools; the table below shows some of the combinations

{| style="text-align:Center" border="1"
| Tape Colours || Owner || Notes
|-
| Red/Yellow || Bedlam ||
|-
| Yellow/Green || F.O.B. || [[Friends of Bedlam]] Toolkit (Striped/Earth Tape)
|-
| Blue/Red || Black Light ||
|-
| Yellow/Black || Dave Larking || ex-Theatre Manager
|-
| Red-Black-Red || Duncan Grieve || Moved On to better things.
|-
| Purple/Black || Alistair Marshall || Please Sir can I have my <insert tool> back?
|-
| Blue || Colleen Patterson || Will possibly add black if such a simple colour becomes an issue
|-
| Green/Black || Richard Bell || I hereby claim the fore-mentioned colours for my stuff!
|-
| Black/Red/Black || Mark Gerrard || ...see it, find it? Give it back...
|-
| Green/Black || Heather Hanshaw || I hereby re-claim the fore-mentioned colours from Richard cos i was here first! xx
|-
| Green/Black/Green || Claire Freake || My AJ had a band of bright green lx. Then it went missing at NSDF. Damn.
|-

|-

|-
| Blue/Silver || Xander (like "Cher") || Maybe I should put my colours on my LX tape...
|-
| Blue/Green || Denise Wood || I'm reserving this in advance for the tools I will someday have!
|-
| Blue/Black/Red || Alex 'Mal' Mead || I know have lots of stuff but none of it is tagged
|-
| Yellow/Brown || Neale Dutton || They're not Terry's they are mine.
|-
| Orange/White || Felix Trench || Inspired.
|-
| White/Black/White || Jamie McQuilkin || Because one day I might actually have stuff worth stealing...
|-

LX tape can be used to write on. If a lantern breaks please put some tape on it, write what is wrong with it and leave it on the back desk of the [[techbox]]. If the mode of failure is not known mark the item FUCT - Failed Under Constant Testing!!
