ST2 SETUP AND CONNECTIONS

BASIC CONNECTIONS

Power FM Antenna

To power the tuner, connect the 12VDC external power supply to the unit by inserting the power supply jack into the power supply connection on the back panel.

The ST2 Tuner power commands are global. The ST2 component is powered on and off by toggling the power switch on the front of the tuner. The unit must be powered on before receiving commands from a keypad or remote control. When either Tuner 1 or Tuner 2 is pow- ered off by the ST2-RC remote, the UNO-S2 key- pad or the UNO-LRC1 remote, the command powers down both Tuner 1 and Tuner 2. However, the entire unit remains in standby until the power switch is toggled to OFF.

Any key press will wake up the tuners from standby. This is a key press from the tuner front panel, ST2-RC remote, UNO-S2 keypad or UNO- LRC1 remote. When the ST2 tuner is powered back on, it will return to the last tuner, bank, fre- quency and other settings that were in use when the tuner was powered down.

AM Antenna

Connect the included loop antenna for AM recep- tion to the back panel, attaching the GND (ground) and AM ends to the appropriate con- nections for Tuner 1. Repeat procedure for the Tuner 2 AM antenna.

It is recommended to use an external outdoor or attic-mounted long wire antenna for best per- formance for AM reception. Use a 300-ohm to 75-ohm balun at the AM connection on the tuner, and attach the 75-ohm coax cable to the balun.

Attach the included FM antenna to the Tuner 1 FM COAX connection on the back panel by push- ing the F-type quick-connect termination of the antenna onto the FM connection. Repeat the same procedure for the Tuner 2 FM antenna. A 75-ohm splitter may be used to connect both tuners to one antenna.

It is recommended to use an external outdoor or attic-mounted long wire antenna for best per- formance for FM reception. Attach the desired length of 75-ohm coax cable directly to the FM connection on the tuner.

Audio Output

Connect one end of a dual RCA audio cable to the Tuner 1 Audio Output connection. Keep prop- er channel identity. Attach the other end of the RCA cables to the source input of the audio dis- tribution system. Repeat the same procedure for the Tuner 2 Audio Output.

RNET Connection

Using a CAT-5 patch cable with T568A wiring standard RJ-45 terminations, connect one end of the cable to the RNET Link In of the ST2 tuner, and connect the other end of the patch cable to the RNET Link Out connection on the CAV6.6 or other RNET-compatible device.
