The SR 40 FLEXX is a stationary diversity receiver for use with all WMS 40 FLEXX and Mi-
crotools Series transmitters. It features a half-rack case for mounting in a 19" rack.
Operating in the 660 MHz to 865 MHz UHF range, the SR 40 FLEXX provides three selec-
table, quartz stabilized carrier frequencies within the 3-MHz-wide frequency band for which
you ordered your WMS 40 FLEXX. This allows you to select a different frequency if one of
the three frequencies does not provide adequate signal quality. The frequencies have been
factory preset to make sure you can set up a multichannel system with up to three chan-
nels with three kits operating in the same frequency band. Using a suitable combination of
kits operating in different frequency bands you can even use up to nine channels* simulta-
neously.
The SR 40 FLEXX is a diversity receiver and uses two antennas in order to receive the trans-
mitter signal at two different spots. The diversity electronics will automatically activate the
antenna that delivers the better signal.
An adjustable squelch will mute the receiver if the received signal is too weak so the related
noise or the self-noise of the receiver will not become audible when the transmitter is
switched OFF.
