ENCORE I RECEIVER

1. Rackmounting the Receiver

There are 2 options available for rackmounting the Encore I receiver: singly or side- by-side with another Encore Series receiver.

a.Single mounting: Remove the receiver SIDE MOUNT CLIP (1) from each side of the receiver (as shown) and slide in the optional ERM-12 RACK EARS (9).

b.Side-by-side double mounting: After removing the SIDE MOUNT CLIPS (1) from both Encore receivers, join the two receivers with the EJC-2 JOINING CLIP (10) and attach the ERM-22 RACK EARS (12) as shown. (Note: Do not mount the receiver in a rack directly above an amplifier or other source of high heat – this could degrade the performance of the Encore I. Always ensure adequate airflow and heat dissipation in any rack configuration.)

2.Powering the Receiver

Plug the 12V AC/DC ADAPTER (15) provided into the DC INPUT JACK (11) on the back of the receiver. Then plug the power supply into an AC outlet. (Note: Any 12V DC source with 400mA capability can also be used.) Press the POWER SWITCH (8) once to turn on the receiver. The POWER ON LED (7) will now light and the receiver is operational.

3. Antenna

The Encore I receiver is supplied with a TELESCOPIC ANTENNA (16). This should be extended fully to obtain maximum range. Optimal antenna position is vertical. For maximum range, it is always best to maintain a line of sight (no obstructions) between the receiver antenna and the transmitter at all times whenever possible.

4. Mute (Squelch) Adjustment

In normal operation, the MUTE CONTROL (2) should be set fully counterclockwise to the factory preset minimum RF level. However, in areas of high RF activity, the mute (or squelch, as it is sometimes called) may need to be adjusted to compensate for the adverse conditions in a particular location. If, with the transmitter off, one or more LEDs of the 5 LED RF LEVEL DISPLAY (4) flicker or stay on, the squelch control should be turned clockwise until the LEDs extinguish. When the squelch is properly adjusted, the RF LEVEL LED displays will only light when the system transmitter is turned on. Turning the squelch control too far clockwise will reduce the range, but yield a quieter mute (squelch) function. When the 5 LED RF LEVEL display extinguishes, the transmit- ter is out of range for that given location, and the user should move closer to the receiver to re-establish the radio link.
