ADJUSTING FOR DIFFERENT CABLE LENGTHS

ADJUSTING FOR DIFFERENT CABLE LENGTHS

FIGURE 4

The longer the coaxial cable connecting the UA830 unit and

the receiver or distribution amplifier, the greater the possibility for
signal loss. The UA830 comes with a GAIN switch that can
compensate for signal loss in longer cables. Shure recom-
mends using the Shure UA825 or UA850 coaxial cable when
remote mounting antennas. NOTE: Use only 50 

 low-loss

cables (RG-8 or equivalent).

Set the switch according to these guidelines:

"

UA825 Extension Cable (7.6 m [25 ft])—Set GAIN switch
in 3 dB position.

"

UA850 Extension Cable (15.2 m [50 ft])—Set GAIN switch
in 10 dB position.

"

If over 15.2 m (50 ft) is required, a maximum of two
UA830’s may be chained together. Simply connect
coaxial cable from the U4 or UA840 to the TO RECEIVER
port of the first UA830, then run another coaxial cable from
the TO ANTENNA port of the first UA830 to the TO
RECEIVER port of the second UA830. Connect the
antenna to the TO ANTENNA port of the second UA830.
See Figure 5. The Gain switches for each UA830 must be
adjusted separately. No more than two may be chained.

*To maintain Shure UA825 and UA850 cables in top condition in
permanent installations:
1.

Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cables.

2.

Do not deform cables with makeshift clamps, such as bending
a nail over the cable.

3.

Do not use cables in permanent outdoor installations

4.

Do not expose cables to extreme moisture
