Setting the Transponder Frequency

The DR500 is shipped with the transponder frequency saved in memory. It is highly unlikely that this frequency will have to be changed and should only be done upon instructions from your DMX affiliate. In the event that a new transponder frequency must be entered, follow these procedures:

1.Press:

PRESET

9

2

0

 

 

 

 

The transponder frequency in MHz displays as a flashing three-digit code on the front panel. The transponder frequency codes and their corresponding frequencies are shown below.

MHz Front Panel Codes

Transponder Frequency

 

950 to 999

950 MHz to 999 MHz

 

 

 

000 to 450

1000 MHz to 1450 MHz

2.Enter the transponder frequency using the DR500 front panel codes. (For example, you enter a frequency of 1249 MHz using the code 249.) Press the appropriate number, then press STORE.

## # STORE

The new transponder frequency will be stored in memory.

Pressing PRESET while entering a Transponder Frequency code exits the procedure and returns to the current channel.

Be careful to enter the correct frequency. The DR500 will not operate if the Transponder Frequency is incorrect.
