Receiver Installation
3
Location
For best operation the receiver should be at least 3' (1 m)
above the ground and at least 3' (1 m) away from a wall or
metal surface to minimize reflections. Keep the receiver
antennas away from noise sources such as digital equipment,
motors, automobiles and neon lights, as well as away from
large metal objects. In multi-channel systems, position
receivers at least 3' (1 m) apart and keep operating
transmitters at least 6' (2 m) from the receivers to help assure
maximum RF performance.
Output Connection
The receiver provides unbalanced, aux-level output from a
1
/
4
"
TS (“mono”) phone jack; an output cable is not included. Use
a shielded audio cable with
1
/
4
" phone plug to connect the
receiver’s AF Out jack to the mixer/amplifier’s aux-level input.
Power Connection
Connect the DC plug on the included AC power adapter to the
DC power input on the back of the receiver. Secure the cord
over the cord hook on the back of the receiver, to keep the
plug from being detached by an accidental tug on the cord.
Then plug the adapter into a standard 120 Volt 60 Hz AC
power outlet.
(Note that the receiver has no power Off/On switch. The
receiver will be energized whenever the power adapter is
connected and plugged into the AC outlet. Unplug the power
supply from the AC outlet when the system is not in use –
both for safety, and to conserve energy.)
Front Panel Controls and Functions (Fig. B)
1.
ANTENNAS: Position the “signal” antenna (1a) and
“ground” antenna (1b) as shown in Figure A.
2.
POWER INDICATOR: Lights when power is supplied to
the receiver.
3.
RF INDICATOR: Lights to show presence of transmitter
signal.
4.
AF PEAK INDICATOR: Only lights when audio distortion
is present at maximum modulation. Not affected by
position of Volume control.
Antennas
A novel “dipole” antenna system on the receiver improves
operation by providing a “ground” element in addition to the
usual “signal” element. Position the two antennas at 90° in the
form of a “V,” or position the left (“signal”) antenna vertically
and the right (“ground”) antenna horizontally, in the shape of
an “L” (Fig. A). Use the position that performs better in your
operating environment. Be certain to extend both antennas to
their full 15" (38 cm) length by holding them at their bases and
pulling out on their caps. Both antenna elements may be
swiveled to the left and right, but do not attempt to rotate
them in a screwing/unscrewing motion. To do so may damage
the antenna and/or receiver. For best performance, locate the
receiver so its antennas are in direct line-of-sight to the
transmitter's likely operating position.
