NOTE
Muting removes the annoying noise between FM
stations. The muting circuitry may prevent the
receiver from distinguishing a very weak signal
from interstation noise. To tune in very weak
stations, defeat the mute circuit by releasing
the FM MUTE switch to the out position.

NOTE
This paragraph does not apply to tuners shipped
as a part of a Bogen Centralized School Sound
tern console or rack.
If the Model TP160 AM/FM Tuner is not part of a Bogen
Centralized School Sound System console or rack, carefully unpack the carton and inspect the unit for damage.
If a unit shipped to you proves to be damaged, make an
immediate claim with the shipping carrier. If the unit was

The Model TP160 may be installed in a standard 19” equipment rack by using Model RPK31 rack mounting brackets.
Remove the four screws securing the side of the cover.
Do not remove the cover. Install the brackets as shown
in figure 1, securing them to the tuner with the four screws

CONNECTING AM ANTENNA
An external antenna must be installed on any Model
TP160 which will be used to receive AM broadcasts. Connect the antenna as shown in figure 2.
CONNECTING EXTERNAL FM ANTENNA
IMPORTANT
Always disconnect the FM Line Antenna
when using an external FM antenna.

Figure 2 - Connecting AM Antenna
Connecting To External TV Antenna
For optimum performance, a separate FM antenna is recommended. If a TV antenna must be used for both FM and
TV reception, install an FM signal splitter at the end of the
transmission line, as shown in figure 4.
GND
The Model TP160 has an internal FM Line Antenna which
may be used for receiving FM broadcasts. For improved
reception, particularly in weak signal areas or for tuners
mounted in consoles or racks, installation of an outdoor FM
or “T” antenna is necessary. If you are installing a standard
300-ohm antenna system, connect the twin-lead transmission
line as shown in figure 3a. If conditions require use of a
coaxial transmission line, such as
connect the cable as shown in figure 3b. Coaxial cable must
be used when the transmission line is run in conduit.

LEVEL CONTROL
Model TP160 AM/FM tuners shipped with Bogen Centralized School Sound System consoles or racks have the
LEVEL control preset to the proper output for the booster
amplifier. Tuners shipped separately have the LEVEL control set for maximum output, which is 1.2 volts.
To decrease the audio output from the tuner, turn the
LEVEL control counterclockwise. To increase the audio
output, turn the LEVEL control clockwise.
