To connect the supplied rod antennas:

►

▷ Connect the antennas to the two antenna inputs on the re-

ceiver as shown in the figure.

▷ Slightly angle the antennas to the left and right as shown in

the figure.

If you are using more than one receiver, we recommend using
remote antennas and possibly the EW-D ASA antenna splitter
("EW-D ASA antenna splitter").

47

Connecting remote antennas

To connect remote antennas:

►

EW-D EM rack receiver

▷ Connect the antennas to the two antenna inputs on the re-

ceiver as shown in the figure.

▷ Observe the specified minimum spacing.

*Recommended antennas:

• ADP UHF | 470 – 1075 MHz

• AD 1800 | 1400 – 2400 MHz

If you are using more than one receiver, we recommend using
remote antennas and possibly the EW-D ASA antenna splitter
("EW-D ASA antenna splitter").

Installing receivers in a rack

Observe the following instructions when mounting the receiv­er in a rack.

The mounting brackets for installing the receiver in the rack
can be found in the packaging under the tray:

Rack mount angles

Power supply adapters

Power supply unit

CAUTION!

Rack mounting poses risks

When installing the device in a closed 19" rack or multi-rack
assembly, please consider that, during operation, the ambient
temperature, the mechanical load and the electrical potentials
will be different from those of devices which are not mounted
into a rack.

▷ Make sure that the ambient temperature within the rack

does not exceed the permissible temperature limit stated
in the specifications. See "SPECIFICATIONS".

▷ Ensure sufficient ventilation; if necessary, provide addi-

tional ventilation.

▷ Make sure that the mechanical load of the rack is even.

▷ When connecting to the power supply system, observe the

information indicated on the type plate. Avoid overloading
the circuits. If necessary, provide overcurrent protection.

▷ When mounting in a rack, please note that intrinsically

harmless leakage currents of the individual power supply
units may accumulate, thereby exceeding the permissible
limit value. As a remedy, ground the rack via an additional
ground connection.

50

EW-D EM rack receiver

Mounting a single receiver in a rack

▷ Connect the mounting brackets to the sides of the receiver

as shown.
