SET-UP & USE

1. LOCATION OF THE AMPLIFIER

First, find a suitable location to set-up the amplifier. It is best to put the amplifier in a stable location near the other equipment to be used. It can be set in a cabinet, on a tabletop, or mounted on the wall with the included bracket.

Avoid Separated Set-ups

Components should be housed together. Wires should be routed back directly to the amplifier.

2. IR SENSOR/RECEIVER (ISR) INSTALLATION

Next, find a suitable location for the ISR. Poor location will cause substandard performance of the CAT 860 Classroom Audio System. The ISR should be as high as possible in the room – the ceiling is the best location, centered along the longest wall in the room. When possible, use a conduit to protect the wires (not included). Poor choices for placement are corners, on walls at heights lower than 7 feet (2 meters), or in places where the line of sight from the ISR to the receiver is or could be obstructed.
