Notes for Installation

For best reception, do not install a T100 Tuner
inside an equipment rack cabinet or in a basement.
The sensitivity of the AM reception may be badly
impaired if the T100 and its loop antenna are not
exposed to the space where radio waves can travel.
Always place a T100 Tuner away from a noisy
fluorescent light, plasma or LCD TV, digital
amplifiers, digital control panel, computers and
their cables.

Breakout Box

The T100 Tuner comes with a Breakout Box
that allows the tuner to be remotely located. It
provides local connections to your control syste m
and outputs audio signals to the amplifiers. The
T100 should be placed in a house at an elevated
location from the ground and away from any metal
panel, metal wall or metal shielding.

Locate the Breakout Box by the amplifiers.
The CAT-5 cable, between the T100 and Breakout
Box, carries DC power to the tuner, brings the
balanced left and right audio signal from the tuner,
sends and receives RS232 communication to and
from the tuner, and carries the IR control signals to
operate the tuner. Note there is only one CAT-5
cable needed between the tuner and the Breakout
Box.

IR Sensor

The IR Sensor that comes with the T100
must be plugged into the IR Sensor jack on the
T100 rear panel or the Breakout Box in order
for the T100 to respond to the IR Remote
Control. There is no IR receiver inside the LCD
display and it will not respond to IR control if
the external IR Sensor is not connected.
