Mounting Audiobeam
Correct mounting conditions
When mounting Audiobeam, make sure that:
y the ultrasonic sound wave can travel undisturbed for at least 1 m before it strikes the first surface.
y a minimum distance of 10 cm is maintained between Audiobeam and adjacent objects so that any heat generated can dissipate. Make sure that the air vents at the top and rear of the unit are not covered or blocked!
y a minimum distance of 1 meter is maintained between Audiobeam and combustible materials.
y Audiobeam is kept away from heat sources such as central heating radiators, spot lights and lamps. Never expose Audiobeam to direct sunlight.
y Audiobeam never gets wet.
Mounting Audiobeam in a fixed position
To ensure that Audiobeam is always orientated towards the correct area of interest, you should mount Audiobeam in a fixed position. Use a mounting plate for wall or ceiling mounting. For mobile installations, use a table or floor stand (see “Accessories”‘ on page 5).
Screw the mounting plate or the table or floor stand to the 5/8" thread. Use the thread
adapter | if necessary. |
By using a gooseneck or swivel joint (see “Accessories”‘ on page 5), directly orientate Audiobeam towards the correct area of interest or the reflection area.
Mounting Audiobeam movably or rotatably
Screw Audiobeam onto a drive mechanism or a rotating mechanism using the 5/8" thread.
Use the thread adapter | if necessary. |

Distance sensor |
|
|
|
For reasons of test engineering, a distance sensor | with a switch | is located on the bottom | |
right of the emitter surface. |
|
|
|
If the distance sensor is “on”, the Audiobeam turns off whenever persons or objects are situated at a distance of less than four meters in the emitting direction of the Audiobeam.
For this reason, the distance sensor is
Putting Audiobeam into operation
Ensure that Audiobeam is not connected to the mains !
Use the sensitivity selector switch to adapt Audiobeam’s input sensitivity to the audio source:
yAudio sources with a high output power (e.g. mixing console, CD or DVD player): upper position (+6 dBm).
yAudio sources with a low output power (e.g. portable mini disk player): lower position
