Niles Audio iC2 manual Installation, Connect Antenna, Extend and Mount the Antenna

INSTALLATION

11) CONNECT ANTENNA

To attach the RF antenna to the HT-MSU, push the antenna down on the antenna socket of the HT-MSU and twist to the right (you will feel a click or stop when the antenna is completely on).

12) EXTEND AND MOUNT THE ANTENNA

Niles supplies a 10 foot extension cable and antenna bracket for mounting the antenna away from the home theater sources. Make sure the antenna extension cable will reach the antenna mount without snagging or twisting with the other cables needed for the HT-MSU. If you’re mounting the HT-MSU to the back of the metal professional equipment rack that slides-out (for easy access

to the wires), make sure that, when the rack is fully extended, the antenna extension cable will reach without being stretched or pinched when the rack is slid back into place. To attach the antenna extension cable to the HT-MSU, push the connector down on the antenna socket of the HT-MSU and twist to the right (you will feel a click or stop when the connector is completely on).

Use a pencil to mark the location of the antenna bracket. (Figure

19)Then, use two dry-wall screws to attach the antenna bracket to the mounting surface. Unscrew the nut from the antenna end of the antenna extension cable; put the antenna connector end through the hole in the bracket. Attach the nut back on the antenna connector end of the cable to tighten the cable to the bracket. Attach the RF antenna to the connector/wall bracket combo; twist to the right (Figure 20). You will feel a click or stop when the antenna is completely on.

13) CONNECT EXPANSION CAT-5 CABLE

If connecting the HT-MSU to a Niles Radio Frequency Gateway instead of attaching the supplied antenna (SEE THE SYSTEM DESIGN CONSIDERATION SECTION, CONFIGURATION #3), use CAT-5 cable terminated with RJ45 connection plugs. The CAT-5 cable must be terminated using the T568A standard wiring (Figure 21).
