4 Operating Notes

4.1 General Hints

Important!!

4.2Systems with Distributed Power Supplies (see also section 3.5)

4.2.1Powering Up

1.Be sure to assign a separate carrier frequency to each wireless channel (transmitter and receiver).

2.Do not operate two or more wireless channels on the same frequency at the same time and location. This would cause unwant- ed noise due to radio interference.

To prevent damage from overloading the antenna splitter power supply, always switch power to the various compo - nents of your system on and off in the order described in sections 4.2 and 4.3.

Be sure to follow the instructions in section 3.5!

1.Switch power to all transmitters ON.

2.Switch power to the antenna splitter and all receivers connected to the antenna splitter ON simultaneously. The blue OK LEDs and the green status LEDs on the connected active components will illuminate.

4.2.2 Powering Down 1. Switch power to the antenna splitter and all receivers connected to the antenna splitter OFF simultaneously.

2.Switch power to all transmitters OFF.

The blue OK LEDs and the green status LEDs on the connected active components will extinguish.

4.3Systems with PSU 4000 Central Power Supplies

4.3.1Powering Up

4.3.2Powering Down

1.Switch the PSU 4000 central power supply ON.

The blue OK LEDs and the green status LEDs on the connected active components will illuminate.

2.Switch power to all transmitters ON.

3.Switch ON all receivers connected to the antenna splitter.

1.Switch OFF all receivers connected to the antenna splitter.

2.Switch power to all transmitters OFF.

3.Switch the PSU 4000 central power supply OFF.

The blue OK LEDs and the green status LEDs on the connected active components will extinguish.

5 Cleaning

• Use a soft cloth moistened with water to clean the antenna splitter surfaces.
