Antenna Divider Installation Instructions

Introduction

Operating Guide for Antenna Divider Systems for the Sabine True Mobility Wireless
Systems: SWM3000 UHF 30-channel True Diversity Receiver (SWA4U) and SWM1600
VHF 16-channel True Diversity Receiver (SWA4V).

Your Sabine Antenna Divider features very low inter-modulation distortion, high dynamic
range and low noise components, and eliminates interference in multiple system usage.

Please refer to your True Mobility Receiver Operating Guide for important information
about the correct setup of your receiver.

General information on antenna placement

The Antenna Divider should be placed in an open area within visual range of the in­tended microphone locations. Note that the range of a True Mobility transmitter is about
100 meters, but that structural objects can lessen that range. Extension antennas can
be added to maintain good reception even when the antenna divider is located far from
the transmitters.

CAUTIONS

Since the installation of the antennas influences the operating efficiency of the re­ceiver, the most important rule is to minimize the distance between receiving an­tenna and transmitter for better reception and performance.

Keep the system away from electrical-noise sources (electric motors, refrigerators,
arc welders, etc.). Place the antenna divider at least one meter above floor level.
Keep all transmitters at least 3 meters away from a receiver antenna.

Your Antenna Divider can be installed into an EIA standard rack-mount case using the
rack-mount brackets provided. Sabine also offers Rear-to-Front Antenna Converter
Kits (SWA100), UHF or VHF Extension Antennas (SWAUEXT, SWAVEXT), and a UHF
Extension Antenna Boosters (SWAUB) to improve reception.

Components

This antenna divider will allow you to connect up to 4 Sabine SWM3000 UHF receivers
(SWA4U) or 4 Sabine SWM1600 VHF receivers (SWA4V) to one set of antennas —
thus alleviating the “porcupine effect” of multiple-receiver antenna placement — and im­proving reception as well. This setup can be combined with the Sabine UHF Extension
Antennas (SWAUEXT) or the Sabine VHF Extension Antenna (SWAVEXT) for addition­ally improved reception. Extension antennas must be purchased separately.
