GENERAL SETUP AND OPERATING HINTS
1.
DISTANCE
.
To maximise operating distance (approximately 100m). We recommend
you follow the guidelines below.
a. Ensure good line of sight between Transmitter and Receiver. Do not place
large obstructions between receiver and transmitters e.g. Concrete walls,
large metal obstructions. In addition keep the receiver away from metallic
beams and obstructions as these can adversely affect the Antenna Pick-up
Pattern and induce interference.
b. Always ensure that the Transmitter is at least 3m (10 feet) away
from the Receiver.
c. Conduct a “Walk test” which involves you moving the Transmitter in the
area where transmission is required whilst noting the received RF signal
strength on the receiver bargraph. Reception is best with all 4 Leds lit.
d. Never position the Transmitter Antenna directly against the body or hand.
This will reduce the operating range considerably.
2.
SQUELCH/RSSI SET UP
.
The S4.16 incorporates a Fixed Noise Squelch and a variable “Received
Signal strength” Mute Control on the rear panel of the Receiver. This
function is to reduce or eliminate the effect of interference from
outside sources.
Note
: Trantec cannot guarantee multi-channel compatibility with other brands/make
of product.
To adjust follow these steps:
a. Turn off the Transmitter and note if any interference is present by
monitoring the Receiver RF Bargraph or Audio Output.
b. Turn the Squelch Control clockwise until the interference disappears.
In extreme cases it may not be possible to remove the unwanted
interference and in this case it is recommended you try an alternative
channel.
Note
: the Squelch Control affects the operating range of the system and with the
Squelch set to maximum, the range will be significantly reduced.
3.
RECEIVER AF GAIN ADJUST
.
The S4.16 receiver gain is continuously adjustable between Mic and
Line level.
