AM1000 Quick Install Instructions

Get Started!

Pick three locations 1) a place for the transmitter

2)place for your studio or inside connection (can just be under a desk) and

3)a ground. Once you have planned these loca- tions so they will all work together you are ready!

Shielded

Ground

Wire

	First, put your transmitter
	mount in, you can use stan-
	dard 1 1/4 antenna mast
	mount from Radio Shack or
	an TV store. Be safe! Stay
	away from electrical wires
	and do not climb anything
	unsafe! Remember the an-
	tenna needs to be in the free
	air, not up against anything.

In Studio	Next do your cabling; if you have a balanced audio source you can connect the audio
	pair directly to the transmitter, if you have an unbalanced (like a RCA jack) audio
	source then use the AM1000PR adapter as shown. Plug in your audio to the 1/8 jack
	on the adapter. Secure the control cable to the building or pole. (Note transmitter is
	not installed yet,). Ground the control wire shield at one end only.

Ground Rod

Now run the ground wire, it can be #12 or #10, from the hardware store. The wire needs to take a direct path from the transmitter to a good ground for best lighting protection. It is best to keep the wire away from metal on the way down, see picture on the right. The ground wire is (stood off) from the mount using stand offs (see picture). The control cable (audio power) can just be wrapped around the mount. The ground wire needs to be secure so it won’t move before you tune. All connections need to be tight, so they won’t later corrode from weathering.
