Internal/External switch

Switch the toggle switch to the down position to select

internal power, and to the up position for external power.

Accessory socket

A four-pin Hirose socket allows accessories such as an

RK 2 or individual receivers to be powered from the DK

2000 via appropriate cables.

Setting up the DK 2000

To set up the DK 2000 in conjunction with up to four DX

2020 receivers:

• Fit the receivers into the DK 2000.

• Fit the batteries or connect external power.

• Connect the antennae.

These steps are explained below:

Fitting the receivers

To fit the individual receivers into the DK 2000 first

remove the plastic plate covering the multipin connector

on each receiver. Slide the receiver in, and push firmly

home. Do not use excessive force.

Fitting the batteries

The DK 2000 can be powered by six D-type cells. The

batteries should be inserted negative terminal first.

Connecting power

Alternatively connect power to the four-pin XLR

connector; pin 1 is ground and pin 4 +DC. The DK 2000

can accept power in the range 9–14V DC. It is over

voltage and reverse power protected.

Connecting the antennae

Connect the antennae to the BNC sockets marked A and

B on the back panel.

Masthead amplifiers are available to allow the use of

long aerial cable lengths with phantom powering

directly from the antenna inputs. A variety of antenna

types can also be supplied to suit specific applications.
