Receiver Installation (Continued)

Front-mount Antennas

AEW-R4100:Provision has been made to move the antenna jacks from the rear to the front of the receiver. However, because this involves opening the receiver case and exposing AC power circuitry, instructions are not included in this manual. A qualified service technician must perform this modification.

AEW-R5200:BNC-to-BNC connectors and jumper cables are included with the unit to permit mounting antennas on the front panel.

•BNC-BNC through-panel connectors: Remove the nut and lock-washer from each connector. Install the connectors from the front into the two panel holes. Note that the flat on the threaded section must be aligned with the flat in each panel hole. Secure each connector from the back with its lock-washer and nut, tightening the nut firmly.

•BNC-BNC cable jumpers: Connect the jumpers to the rear antenna jacks first; then attach them to the BNC connectors on the front panel. Make certain the bayonet twist-rings are fully latched on the connectors at both ends.

Headphone Jack

A headphone jack on the front panel provides monitoring of the receiver’s output. The 1/4" TRS jack is intended for use with stereo headphones. The Phones Level control affects the headphone jack only. Note: On an operating unit, be careful not to press the Power switch accidentally when inserting a headphone jack or adjusting the headphone level. In addition to interrupting receiver operation, even a momentary loss of power to a single unit within a linked multi-channel system will cause the loss of linking connection to the affected receiver and all those “downstream” from it.

AEW-R5200:Press and release the Phones Level control knob to switch headphone monitoring from Channel 1 to Channel 2 and back again. Small, lighted indicators just above the knob show which receiver channel is being monitored.

Power Connections

The switching power supply is designed to operate properly from any AC power source 100–240V, 50/60 Hz without user adjustment. Simply connect the receiver to a standard AC power outlet, using only an IEC-type input cordset approved for the country of use. Power to the unit is controlled by the front-panel Power switch.

All AEW receivers in a linked multi-channel system should be interconnected with included link cables. When the system is properly configured, the “slave” units will “link data in” to the “Master” unit. (See Figure B for an example.)

1.First, decide which receiver will be the “Master” unit. Connect a link cable to the Link In jack only. (In an AEW-R5200, the Channel 1 unit is the Master and Channel 2 becomes the first “slave.”)

2.Connect the free end of the link cable from the Master unit (in #1 above) to the Link Out jack of the desired “next” unit.

3.Connect one end of a new link cable to the Link In jack of the unit in #2 above.

4.Connect the free end of the link cable from the unit in #2 above to the Link Out jack of the desired “next” unit.

5.Continue this process of “daisy-chaining” the system’s receivers together with link cables. The “last” unit in the system will have a cable connected to its Link Out jack, but no connection to its Link In jack.

Installing link cables starting with the last slave unit and working toward the Master unit is also acceptable practice.

The attachment order of link cables establishes the numerical order of the receivers in the multi-channel system, from the selected Master unit through all the slave units. (In the case of AEW-R5200 receivers, a unit’s Channel 1 always comes before its Channel 2.) In a multi-channel system that includes both models of receivers, it’s common practice to position all the AEW-R5200 units first in the chain; followed any AEW-R4100 units.

Note 1: For the receiver linking to work, all receivers in the system must have AC power applied at the same time, or the Master receiver must be turned on last.

Note 2: In addition, if AC power is interrupted or a link connec- tion is broken at any receiver in a linked system, even for an instant, receivers from that unit onward are no longer linked to the system. When all power and linking have been restored, the system must be restarted by turning all the receivers Off, then On (all turned on simultaneously, or the Master receiver must be turned on last). This will re-initialize the system and re-establish all the data links.

AEW-R5200:An auxiliary AC “jumper” (pass-through) outlet is provided on the rear panel, and a ”jumper” power cordset is included, to simplify power connections by “daisy-chaining” an array of AEW-R5200’s. Maximum output from the auxiliary outlet is 5 Amperes, which will easily handle a full complement of AEW-R5200 units.

“Link” Connections

Artist Elite Series multi-channel systems can comprise all AEW-R4100, all AEW-R5200, or combinations of AEW-R4100 and AEW-R5200 receivers. The exclusive IntelliScan™ channel assignment system provides easy, automatic scanning of the RF spectrum and assignment of usable, compatible frequencies to all linked AEW receiver channels.

Both AEW receiver models can be interconnected using Link In/Out jacks and included link cables. In addition, the AEW-R5200 offers a built-in Ethernet 10 BaseT connection, with interface software provided on CD-ROM. See the separate AEW Control Interface manual provided with AEW-R5200 receivers and 5000 Series systems.
