1. Rackmounting the Receiver
There are two options available for rackmounting the Encore DUET receiver:
singly or side‑by‑side with another Encore Series receiver.
a.
Single mounting:
Remove the receiver
SIDE MOUNT CLIP (1)
from each side of
the receiver (as shown) and slide in the optional
ERM-12 RACK EARS (9)
.
b.
Side-by-side double mounting:
After removing the
SIDE MOUNT CLIPS (1)
from
both Encore receivers, join the two receivers with the
EJC-2 JOINING CLIP (10)
and attach the
ERM-22 RACK EARS (12)
as shown.
(Note: Do not mount the receiver in a rack directly above an amplifier or
other source of high heat — this could degrade the performance of the
Encore DUET. Always ensure adequate airflow and heat dissipation in
any rack configuration.)
2. Powering the Receiver
Plug the
12V AC/DC ADAPTER (15)
provided into the
DC INPUT JACK (11)
on the
back of the receiver. Then plug the power supply into an AC outlet.
(Note: Any 12V DC source with 400mA capability can also be used.)
Press the
POWER SWITCH (8)
once to turn on the receiver. The
POWER ON LED (7)
will now light and the receiver is operational.
3. Antennas
The Encore DUET receiver is supplied with
TELESCOPIC ANTENNAS (16)
, one each
for Channel A and Channel B. These should be extended fully to obtain maximum
range. Optimal antenna position is 45 degrees from the receiver (at 90 degrees
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.
4. Mute (Squelch) Adjustment
In normal operation, the
MUTE CONTROLS (2)
for each channel (A & B) should be set
fully counterclockwise to the factory preset minimum RF level. However, in areas of
high RF activity, the mutes (or squelches, as they are sometimes called) may need to
be adjusted to compensate for the adverse conditions in a particular location. If, with
the transmitter off, one or more LEDs of the receiver's
5 LED RF LEVEL DISPLAYS (4)
for
that channel transmitter flicker or stay on, the squelch control for that channel should
be turned clockwise until the LEDs extinguish. When the squelch is properly adjusted,
the
RF LEVEL LED
displays will only light when that channel transmitter is turned
on. Turning the squelch control too far clockwise will reduce the range, but yield a
quieter mute (squelch) function. When the
5 LED RF LEVEL
display extinguishes, the
transmitter for that channel is out of range for that given location, and the user should
move closer to the receiver to re‑establish the radio link.
