UDR16 Receiver

1.Rack Mounting the Receiver

There are 2 options available (as accessories) for rack mounting the UDR16 receiver: single or side-by-side with another UDR16 receiver.

a.Single mounting: Remove the receiver SIDE MOUNT CLIPS (1) from each side of the receiver (as shown) and slide in the optional wider RACK EARS (2).

b.Side-by-side double mounting: After removing the SIDE MOUNT CLIPS (1) from both UDR16 receivers, join the two receivers with the JOINING CLIP

(3) and attach the narrow RACK EARS (4) as shown. (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 UDR16. Always ensure adequate airflow and heat dissipation in any rack configuration.)

2.Powering the Receiver

Plug the 19V AC/DC ADAPTER (5) provided into the DC INPUT JACK (9) on the back of the receiver. Then plug the power supply into an AC outlet. Press the POWER. SWITCH (13) once to turn on the receiver. The POWER “ON” LED (12) will now light and the receiver is operational.

3.Antennas

The UDR16 receiver is equipped with attached dual FOLDING ANTENNAS (16). 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.Mute (Squelch) Adjustment

In normal operation, the SQUELCH CONTROL (6) should be set fully clockwise to the factory preset RF level (Max. Sens.). However, in areas of high RF activity, the squelch (or mute) may need to be adjusted to compensate for the adverse conditions in a particular location. If, with the transmitter off, the receiver’s A or B DIVERSITY LED INDICATORS (14) flicker or stay on, the squelch control should be turned counterclockwise until the A or B LEDs go out. When the squelch is properly adjusted, the A or B LEDs will only light when the system transmitter is turned ON. Turning the squelch control too far counterclockwise will reduce the range, but yield a quieter squelch (mute) function. During operation, especially at ranges greater than 75 feet, one or the other of the A or B LEDs may go out briefly. This is normal. The unit’s DigiTRU DiversityTM reception ensures that the received audio will not be interrupted. When both LEDs are not lit, the transmitter is out of range for that given location, and the user should move closer to the receiver to re-establish the radio link. (Note: It would be preferable to select a different channel with less RF activity before resorting to the MUTE (squelch) adjustment.)
