Installing and Connecting
3.
With your fingers, press down on the head of the snare drum at an area near where the
sensor of the RT-5S makes contact. While continuing to press down, tighten the sensor bolt in
place at the location where the tip of the sensor touches the head.
After securing the sensor in place, tighten so that the sensor is depressed by about
1/8 to 1/4 inch (3 to 5 mm) when you remove your fingers from the head. (This is
important because it affects the sensor/triggering characteristics.)
If there is a gap between the sensor tip and the head, malfunction may occur when
the drum is struck with force.
If you want triggering that is even more precise, it may be effective to use a ring
mute, or a muted head such as the PINSTRIPE™ from REMO Inc. When using a
ring mute, first place the ring mute on the head, and then secure the RT-5S in
place.
4.
Using the stereo cable included with the product, connect the OUTPUT jack on the RT-5S to
the trigger input jack on the sound module.
The rim signals will not be output if a monaural cable is used.
5.
Turn the RIM level knob on the RT-5S clockwise to adjust the output level for rim signals.
If the rim-shot sound comes out when you hard-hit the head, please lower the rim level.

For the RT-3T Tom Trigger
Note that the RT-3T cannot be used with meshheads.
Due to the mute-free design of the RT-3T,when the sticks hit the shell or rim of the
drum, it may produce a louder volume than striking the head.
1.
Mount the RT-3T on the hoop of the tom and turn the mounting screw to secure in place.
Mount it at a location where it won't interfere with the tension bolts or get in the way when
playing (the rim on the side opposite the performer).
2.
Using the cable included with the product, connect the OUTPUT jack on the RT-3T to the
trigger input jack on the sound module.
If two or more toms are tuned to close pitches, unstruck toms may resonate. Tune
to pitches that are farther apart. Alternatively, use muting.
