VR Field Receiver
LECTROSONICS, INC.
1
An internally generated 1 kHz audio test tone can be
made available at the selected receiver’s XLR output.
This tone is used for precise level matching with other
equipment without actually going “on the air” and can
be very useful for diagnostic purposes. The tone is
toggled on or off by pressing the front panel Function
button. The Tone icon in the example below indicates
that the tone signal is turned off. The TONE box is filled
in (reveresed) when the tone signal is active.
Phase Setup Screen
The Phase setup screen controls the phase of the
audio output at the rear panel XLR jack relative to
the audio signal from the associated transmitter. Two
modes are available: NORMAL and INVERT. A receiver
set to Normal mode (default) will display a “+” in the
associated Receiver Module box. Rotating the MENU/
SELECT control to select INVERT changes the display
in the Receiver Module box to “-” and inverts the audio
output at the associated rear panel XLR jack.
TxBatt Setup Screen
The TxBatt setup screen allows the selection of the ex-
act battery type being used in the transmitter to provide
more accurate battery level monitoring. Four different
types of batteries are commonly used in Lectrosonics
transmitters: 9 Volt alkaline, 9 Volt lithium, AA alkaline,
and AA lithium. Rechargeable NiMH batteries can also
be used in the transmitters (see 9V TIM and AA TIM).
Correctly set, this feature will ensure that adequate
warning will be provided in advance of battery failure.
Depending on the TxBatt mode, a battery icon or timer
will be displayed on both the Overview and Receiver
Detail screens, and the battery level or timer value will
be displayed on the Receiver Infomation Screen. The
icon, timer or voltage only appears after a valid signal
has been detected for at least 10 seconds and when
both the transmitter and receiver module are operat-
ing in either 200 Series or Digital Hybrid (400 Series)
compatibility mode.
The TxBatt Setup Screen offers six monitoring choices:
9V ALK (9V) - For Lectrosonics Digital Hybrid (400
Series) and 200 Series transmitters using 9V alkaline
batteries. The voltage remaining in the battery is dis-
played as an icon on the Overview and Receiver Detail
screens and as the value on the TxBatt Setup Screen
for the selected receiver module. Receiver modules set
up for 9V alkaline batteries will have 9V displayed in the
corresponding Receiver Module box at the bottom of
the TxBatt setup screen.
Note: In 9V ALK, 9V LTH, AA ALK and AA LTH
modes, a blinking Battery icon indicates that the it
is close to exhaustion and needs replacing.
