Telex USR-100 operating instructions System Set-Up, Antenna Placement

System Set-Up

NOTE: Whe employing two or more wireless microphones, the transmitters should be a minimum of 10-15 feet away from the receiver(s) to prevent “front-end” overload.

Turn on the receiver. Set the Channel to the number desired on both the transmitter and receiver. Check the RF lights. If any light except light #1 is on, this indicates interference and another channel should be selected. Turn on the transmitter. Speak into the microphone and adjust the gain so that the Audio Meter on the receiver just illuminates the 0 (or yellow) light on the loudest sounds.

If necessary, vary the Audio Adjust on the back of the receiver to suit your equipment.

Walk the transmitter through the expected use area to check for “drop-outs”. To minimize the chance for drop-outs, read the section on antenna placement.

Antenna Placement

The antennas and USR-100 should be placed in a location with a clear “signal path” to the transmitter. This “path” should be as short and free of obstructions as possible. Obstructions, such as walls, ceilings, and metal objects, will reduce range and performance.

Do not rack mount the USR-100 with the antennas attached directly on the back of the unit. This will severely decrease the range and performance of the system.

Antenna Placement for Optimum Range and Rack Mounting.

For better range and when rack mounting, the antennas must be located on the front of the rack mounts or use optional ground independent antennas and remote mount them. See the accessories section of this manual for cable kits to front mount the antennas.
