Location

The ATW-R100(x) receiver is designed primarily to be mounted to professional video cameras using the included hook & loop fasteners (mounting methods and positions will vary with the camera being used). However, the receiver will provide outstanding professional performance in other wireless applications as well.

For best operation the receiver should be at least three feet above the ground and at least three feet away from a wall or metal surface to minimize reflections. The transmitter should be at least three feet from the receiver.

Keep antennas away from noise sources such as computers, motors, automobiles and neon lights; also keep antennas away from large metal objects.

Output Connections

There is one balanced audio output (31.6 mV) on the back panel of the receiver. Use shielded audio cable to connect this XLRM-type 3-pin jack to the mic audio input of the camera or mixer. (The optional AT8341 cable, 19" long, terminates in a right-angle 3.5 mm stereo mini-plug.)

A headphone jack and level control permit monitoring of the audio signal. Either mono or stereo headphones with a 3.5 mm plug may be used; the audio is supplied to both sides of a stereo unit.

Antennas

Attach the antennas to the antenna input jacks. Make certain that during operation there is a clear open-air path between the receiver antennas and the transmitter.

Power

The ATW-R100(x) receiver operates on either external DC or internal battery power by setting the Power switch to “EXT” or “INT” respectively (Fig. A). In the center position all power is off.

External Power

The back panel is equipped with a jack for an external

12-18V DC source, 200 mA nominal current. The jack takes a standard 2.5 mm I.D. coaxial DC power plug, center positive.

Battery Selection and Installation

Always use two fresh alkaline 9V batteries. Replace the batteries in pairs. Turn the Power switch “Off” before inserting the batteries.

Open the hinged battery door on the side of the receiver. Insert two batteries, observing correct polarity as marked on the inside of the door. Close and latch the door.

Note that the battery door will not close fully if the batteries are installed incorrectly. Do not force the door closed.

The U100 Series receiver and transmitters accept most popular brands of 9-volt alkaline batteries. But there is considerable variation in battery sizes; some alkaline and extended-life batteries may not fit correctly, which can cause units to operate improperly or not at all.
