Installing antennas
Install antennas on back by connecting the
two
antennas (21)
included with your system
onto the two
RF Connectors (14/19)
located on
the back of the 8W-1KU receivers. The two
antennas must be installed in order for the
diversity circuit to work properly. The optimal
positions of the antennas are 45° from
the receiver and 90° from each other. For
maximum range, it is always best to maintain
a line-of-sight (no obstructions) between the
receiver antennas and the transmitter at all
times whenever possible.
For front antenna installation, first install
optional
FaMK-2 antenna extension Cables (13a),
insert one end of each BNC cables into a
rack ear hole and secure using the removable
nuts. Lock other end of the BNC cables to an
RF Connector (14/19)
on the back of the unit.
Then connect the two antennas to the front
of the receiver.
Rack-mounting the Receiver
The Nady 8W-1KU receiver wireless system
has built-In
Rack ears (13).
Simply attach the
rackears with supplied screws on both sides
and install the receiver onto the rack.
Note:
Do not mount the receiver on a rack directly
above an amplifier or other source of high heat.
This could degrade the performance of the
8W-1KU. Always ensure adequate airflow and heat
dissipation in any rack configuration.
Powering the Receiver
To power the receivers, plug the provided AC/
DC
Power Supply (20)
adapter into the DC
Input
Jack (18)
on the back of the receivers, then
plug the adapter into an AC outlet.
Note:
Any reg12VDC source with minimum
2500mA capacity can also be used.

System Operation
8W-1KU Receiver
Once the receiver is connected to the power
source, press the Power Button (1) for two
seconds. The LCD Displays (8) will light
(showing Group, Channel, RF Level Meter,
and Output Volume). The Diversity A/B (2) and
the AF PEAK LED (3) are off at this time and
will display when the transmitter is on and
the audio is transmitted. To turn off, press the
Power button for two seconds. The LCD will
display “OFF” then the backlight will turn off
indicating the receivers are off.
Connect either the ¼” Unbalanced Audio Out
(17) or each XLR Balanced Mic Outs (15) to
your mixing board, effect, or amplifier inputs
(See Connecting the Audio Outputs section).
Button Function on the Receiver
The
Power Button (1)
is used to turn ON or
OFF all receivers at the same time. When this
power button is pressed for two seconds, the
blue backlights on the
lCD Displays (8)
will light
up indicating the receivers are on. Press the
Power button again for two seconds to turn
off the receivers. The backlight on the LCD
will display “OFF” indicating the receivers are
off. At power-off the 8W-1KU receivers will
store the last settings entered and re-display
them at power-on. It can be reprogrammed
to any new Group/Channel, or Volume level.
The default factory setting is Group 01
(Receiver 1) and 02 (Receiver 2), 03 (Receiver
3) and 04 (Receiver 4), Group 05 (Receiver 5)
and 06 (Receiver 6), 07 (Receiver 7) and 08
(Receiver 8), Channel 00 and Volume 63 for all
receivers.
The
(Up) or (Down) Buttons (7)
are active
while in the Set mode, or can be used to
change Volume Level (11) at anytime.
