2. Power Switch and Indicator:

When the switch is turned on the red indicator

illuminates to denote normal power status.

3. RF Signal Level Indicator:

Indicates the RF signal strength received from the

microphone. As soon as the signal is emitted from

the microphone the LED indicator illuminates.

4. Audio Signal Level Indicator:

Indicates the audio signal level. As soon as the

microphone signal is modulated, the LED indicator

illuminates.

5. Volume Control:

Adjusts the AF output level of the receiver.

Connect the 12V DC plug from the AC/DC adapter.

8. Balanced Audio Output Jack:

XLR type connector

9. Unbalanced Audio Output Jack:

1/4" Phone Jack

10. Unbalanced Level Switch:

“LOW selection is for “Microphone-Level” output.

“HIGH” selection is for “Line-Out” level output.

11. Squelch Adjustment:

Adjust the squelch level to eliminate the RF noise

interference at the receiver.

2. INSTALLATION OF THE RECEIVER

1. Install one of the antennas at the antenna input connector A. Then install the other antenna at the antenna input connector B.

2. AC/DC Power Connection:

Figure 3

Connect the AC/DC adapter cable to the DC 12V input jack. Then plug the adapter unit into an appropriate AC outlet as shown in Figure 3. Caution: Make sure the correct voltage is present at the AC outlet as indicated on the AC/DC adapter.

3. Audio Output Connection:

a. Unbalanced Level Switch Setting Position:

Make sure to match the unbalanced output setting to the device input setting. The incorrect setting could result in low sensitivity level or over load distortion. Ex. (If you are going into the “Line” input on a mixer or amplifier then the switch should be set to the high position. If you are going into the “Mic” input of an amplifier or mixer then the switch should be set to the low position.)

b. Unbalanced Output:

Connect the 1/4" phone plug of the audio cable into the unbalanced output connector on the back of the receiver. Connect the other end of the cable to the proper input of the desired device. Make sure the unbalanced level switch is in the proper position before applying power.

c. Balanced Output:

Connect the male XLR connector into the balanced output connector on the back of the receiver. Connect the other end of the cable into the “Mic/Balanced” input of the desired device. The characteristics of the 3-pin XLR connector are shown below in Figure 4.

3. TWO 19/2-INCH UNITS RECEIVER INSTALLATION

A. Setup for single half-rack receiver

1. Push the rack mount brackets (RM-11)

upwards until it is firmly attached to the receiver. (Figure 5)

Figure 5

B. Setup for dual half-rack receivers

1. Remove the screws at the top and

bottom of the receiver where they will be joined together. Remove one steel plate from each receiver. Push the receivers next to each other. Refer to Figure 6.

2. Insert the steel plate in between the two receivers (top and bottom). Align and fasten the screws tightly as shown in Figure 6.

3. Align and fasten the rack mount

brackets (RM-12) on the outer sides of both receivers as shown in Figure 6.

Figure 6

4. After completion, it can be rackmounted into an EIA standard rack case. Shown in Figure 7.

5. Make sure that the system performs correctly by placing the system away from noise sources. Place the receiver at least one meter above the ground and one meter away from noise sources. Place the microphone at least one meter away from the receiving antenna, as shown in Figure 8.
