INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
Unpacking and Inspection
Inspect for shipping damage immediately upon receipt of
the equipment. If damage is found or suspected, notify the
carrier at once, and then contact Inovonics.
We recommend that you set aside the original shipping car-
ton should return for Warranty repair become necessary.
Shipping damage sustained as a result of improper packing
for return may invalidate the Warranty!
Warranty Registration
Please complete the Warranty Registration process. Not
only does this assure coverage of the equipment under
terms of the Warranty (printed inside the back cover of this
manual), but the user will receive any specific service and
modification instructions, including software and firmware
updates. Register online at:

Mounting
The INOmini 638 is packaged in a compact ‘clamshell’ chas-
sis that defines the standardized module in this series of
Inovonics products. The INOmini 638 may simply be set on
top of an existing piece of rack-mounted equipment, as long
as at least 1U of panel space is left open above the rack-
mounted ‘host’ to access the unit. Alternatively, a pair of
mounting holes on the chassis base allows the INOmini 638
to be fastened to any flat surface with two #4 screws.
An optional rack-mount kit is available for the INOmini 638.
The rack kit can hold up to three INOmini modules and
comes with blanking panels for unused spaces, and with
two ‘daisy-chain’ power cables so that two or three INOmini
modules may share a single power supply.

AC Mains Power
All Inovonics INOmini modules are supplied with a ‘brick’
switching-type power supply compatible with any mains
voltage. The actual power consumed by the SiteStreamer™
is 115mA at 12 volts DC. A second DC connector on the
rear panel allows ‘daisy-chaining’ INOmini
modules. This
means that two or more units may be fed from the same AC
supply, but with the obvious caution that the total input
power specification of a given assortment of INOmini mod-
ules must not exceed the current rating noted on the power
supply label.
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)
Although we have anticipated that the SiteStreamer™ will be
used in the vicinity of broadcast transmitting equipment,
please do practice reasonable care in locating the unit away
from
abnormally
high RF fields.
The Front-Panel Display and Menu Knob
The front-panel
MENU
knob scrolls the LCD through the
various viewing and programming options. Section III of
this manual explains the easy setup and various operating
options of the INOmini 638.
Headphone Jack
The front-panel
PHONES
jack will accommodate stereo
headphones of virtually any impedance with a 3.5mm stereo
plug. When headphones are plugged in, the LCD menu will
automatically go to the
Headphone Vol
screen so that you
can adjust the listening level with the knob. When the vol-
ume has been set to a comfortable level, push the knob to
return to the previous menu.
Rear Panel Connections
ANTENNA
The 531N antenna input is a US-
standard 75-ohm F connector. Inex-
pensive, ready-made cables of various
lengths are common in this format, and
adapters for other RF connector types
are readily available.
