UDR800 RECEIVER

1. Rack Mounting the Receiver

There are 2 options available (as accessories) for rack mounting the UDR800 receiver: single or side-by-side with another UDR800 receiver.

A. Single Mounting (RPK89)

: Remove the receiver SIDE MOUNT CLIPS (1) from each side of

the receiver (as shown) and slide in the optional wider RACK EARS (2).

(see page 4)

B. Side-by-Side Double Mounting (RPK90): After removing the SIDE MOUNT CLIPS (1) from

both UDR800 receivers, join the two receivers with the JOINING CLIP (3) and attach the narrow RACK EARS (4) as shown.

(see page 4)

(Note: Do not mount the receiver in a rack directly above an amplifier or other source of high

heat — this could degrade the performance of the UDR800. Always ensure adequate airflow an

heat dissipation in any rack configuration.)

2. Powering the Receiver

Plug the 22V DC ADAPTER (28) provided into the DC INPUT JACK (6) on the back of the receiver. Then plug the power supply into an AC outlet. Press the POWER SWITCH (9) once to turn on the receiver. The POWER “ON” LED (10) will now light and the receiver is operational.

3. Antennas

The UDR800 receiver is equipped with attached dual FOLDING ANTENNAS (11). Optimal positions of the antennas are 45° from the receiver (or 90° from each other). For maximum range, it is always best to maintain a line-of-sight (no obstructions) between the receiver antennas and the transmitter at all times whenever possible.

4. Adjusting the Mute Level/RF Squelch

The MUTE LEVEL/RF SQUELCH (24) can be changed anytime during the main screen display to quiet the receiver in high noise environment conditions. The control ranges are from level 0 to level 5. The level should be adjusted to a lower number to the minimum RF squelch setting at which the RF INDICATOR (19) will remain on while your transmitter is in normal use, up to the maximum operating range anticipated in use for your application. However, in areas of high RF activity, the squelch control may need to be adjusted to a higher number. If the transmitter is off and the receiver signal RF INDICATOR (19) or the diversity A or B INDICATOR (20) flickers or stays on continuously, the squelch should be adjusted to a higher number to stop the flickering. Be careful not to select too high a number setting as this may reduce the operating range to below what is needed. A range walk test will help in selecting the proper level. If the range is not critical, note that a higher level (maximum squelch) setting will also yield a quieter mute function, which might be desired in certain applications. The squelch level is factory preset at maximum sensitivity and operating range (i.e. level 0 for minimum squelch level — maximum usable range).

(Note: For easier intuitive operation, the MIN and MAX indicators for this control refer to the minimum and maximum operating range settings, not to the actual mute levels selected, which are the opposite as per above.)

5. Audio Level and Peak LED Indicator

The UDR800 receiver has a 5-bar AF LCD (18) display that indicates normal level audio signal from the transmitter. Occasional flickering of the fifth AF LCD (peak level) on loud inputs to the transmitter is normal. If the AF LCD (18) lights up full bars continuously, decrease the input audio level to the transmitter or overload distortion may result.

6. Connecting the Audio Output

The UDR800 receiver provides both a fixed MIC level BALANCED MIC OUTPUT XLR (8) and

an adjustable unbalanced line level AUDIO OUTPUT 1/4”Jack (5).

(Note: As when making any connection, make sure the amplifier or mixing board volume is at the minimum level before plugging in the receiver to avoid possible sound system damage.)
