$3500 & $4000 Diversity Receivers:
- Setting Up:
$4000 only - connect the two antennas in the rear An angle ofarouno 60 degrees between each antenna is recommended for optlmum coverage » the
antennas should never be exactly parallel as this reduces the enactiveness of the diversity switching sytem. The status of the two antennas (Pass or
Not Connected) is displayed briefly when the power is first connecteo,
$3500 only - luily eldend the two attached antennas, and it possible set them to angles as described above
Connect the mains power adapter to the m: [N rear panel connection and to the mains supply. Always and only use the Trantec power supply
provided with your system.
Turn down gain or your mixer or PA system down amt connect the audio output, either irom the XLR (53500 a 54000 only) or jack connector to the
uesrreo audio input on your system. The output of the XLR is fixed, but the output orthe jack can be vorleo using the adjacent GAIN control. For details
on how to set the optimum level icr ihis control, see the section below on optimising the gain or your system. Note that you should always turn down
the volume on your system whilst connecting in order to prevent there being a ‘pop' as you connect the euoio lead
The receiver will start on whatever irequency it was last set to. It you have a transmitter tuned to this irequency and switched on, then the receiver
shuuld immediately receive, otherwise it will stay in RF MUTE mode, If you receive interference irom other transmlssiorls on the same channel, adjust
the MUTE LEVEL control on the rear panel This run only be done when the transmitter is iumed off.
- An Explanation at the Front Panel and Options:
When the receiver is muted, it will display RF MUTE and the current frequency
When the receiver is recelving, it will display the irequency oi the current channel and a small bar chart indicating the received RF power, unless the
Dilplay Name? Option has been selected (see below), in which case S user name will be displayed rather than the bar chart. This facility is useful tri
situations where you need to know who is using which channel.
To view a large RF power bar chart. press the RF button Pressing either button will return you to the normal display. The large RF power bar chart WlII
glve an indication at how good the radio signal irom the transmitter ls The more segments that are lit, the better the signal, although there is little
degradation until 3 segments or less are showtng This feature I! most uselul when first Imting the receiver in older to receive the strongest possible
signal. it is also useful for finding potential trouble areas where the signal irom the transmitter reduces in strength very rapidly due to natural wave
phenomena
To view a large VU meter. press the AF button. Pressing either button will return you to the normal display. The VU meter lndloaies the audio level from
the transmitter. it is most useful when optimising the system's gain as descrlbed later,
The three LEDs indicate which antenna is being used and the presence ol a hloh P was) audio signal. The two antenna LEDs simply indicate the
operation at the diversity system. The audio peak LED is useiul when setting the system‘s gain,
- Configuring me Receiver:
All configuration ls done using the Mo front panel push buttons. To change the configuration first enter the SETUP MENU by pressing both buttons
together. The ioilowing options are available lrcm the menu, in this order:
CHANNEL CHANGE
BANK CHANGE
PROGRAM INFO
MUTE LEVEL
NAME INPUT
DISPLAY NAME?
markup,—
To scroll through these options, press the A button. To soled a particular option, press the SELECT button. The results of selecting a particular option
are outlined individually in the sections that loikyw. Note that any changes made to the configuration are stored in memory in the receiver, and will thus
not be lost when power is disconnected.
- Selecllng CHANNEL CHANGE:
initially the current channel's frequency is displayed. Press or hold down the A human to scroll through the available channels in the current bank,
When you reach the required new irequency, press the SELECT button to choose it. The reoelvei will immediately switch to the new frequency, and the
normal display will return.
The exact selection of channels available in each bank wrll depend an new the transmitter has been programmed in the factory. it can contain up to 32
unique channels, which can be arranged in up to 4 banks, but your transmitter unit not necessarily contain this many channels orbanks.
- Selecting BANK CHANGE:
The current bank is displayed Pressing the A button will change to the next bank. Pressing the SELECT button will choose the bank being displayed
to become the current bank, and will then return you to the normal display. Note that doing this will reset the current lrequenoy to the first in the new
bank, so it will probably be neoessary to change the lrequenoy aner changing the bank.
As Eldey mentioned above. the ezact selection olbanks available will depend on how the transmitter has been programmed in the rectory. There can
be up to 4 banks, but if there Is only 1, this optlbri will not be functional.
- saluting PROGRAM INFO:
THE wlll display intermation on the program In the receiver. To clear this information, press the SELECT button to return to the normal display
. Selecting MUTE LEVEL:
This will show the setting of the rear MUTE Control, and will change to reflect adjustments made to this mntrul, Press the SELECT button to clear this
information it the receiver is muted, this will return you to the normal display, otherwise you will SB! tha RF bar chart. In this case, pressing either
button will then return you to the normal display 53! the sedlon below for details at how to set the mute lat/El for optimum performance. When
adjusting the mute level, the transmitter should be swttched off.
' Selecting NAME INPUT:
This allows you to enter a user name which can be displayed In the normal display. The user name can be up to eight characters long In order to
change the naem trom this option, the name is displayed With a cursor under the first character Prassing or holding down the A button will scroll
through the available characters at the cursor position. Pressing the SELECT button will move the cursor along one position, Pressing the SELECT
button on the last character in the name will return you to the normal display. It will be necessary to change each of the elght character locations in
turn it you miss the character you want, simply scroll round until it comes back again.
0 Selecting DISPLAY NAME7:
This allows you to configure whether or not the user name is displayed in the normal display Pressing the A button will toggle this setting on and off
Pressing the SELECT button wtll return you to the normal display
- Setting the Mule Level:
The mule level can be adjusted ifthe receiver ls picking up unwanted radio signals (due to interrnodulation and other FM signals). In order to make thls
adjustment, the transmitter must be switched oft. The receiver should now be muted. Il it is not, then slowly adjust the MUTE LEVEL control until all
unwanted signals are muted. Due to the receiver's noise searching circuitry, no noise should be present at the audio output regardless of the mute
setting. Once you have done this, switch the transmitter back on and check its operation. If desired, the mute level can be viewed in a numerical format
on the 53500 and 54000 by selecting the appropriate menu option as deacrlbed above. Setting the mute ISVSI too high will reduce the range of your
system 53500 and 54000 receivers indlcite on their display that they are muted
. Optimising the Glln or your system:
in olderto achieve the best possible audio performance tram your radio system, it is worth spending a few minutes setting the optimum gain level.
First adjust the gain or your transmitter. as described in the appropriate section. The optimum setting ior this will be round by first adjusting the
transmnter gain so that the audio peak LED on tho receiverjust illuminates for the loudest slgnal that is likely to be transmitted. Tha gain should then
be decreased slightly so that the peak LED never lights in normal operatlorl, If the peak LED is lit, then distortion ls likely. The optimum setting will vary
according to who is using the microphone and how close the microphone is placed to the mouth For guitar systems, dinerent instruments will require a
different setting The tmnt panel VU meter is also available as a guide.
Once the transmitter gain is opiirniseo. it is necessary to match the reoeiver's output gain to your mixing desk or PA system. it using the jack output.
adjust the SAM control to give the optimum level ior your system Adjusting this too high they cause distortion.
333500 is 84000 Handheld Transmitters:
. setting Up:
Screw the external antenna into the the base of the microphone For maximum range and performance it is important not to
place your hand around this antenna he is in operation.

needs replacing The LCD display will also indieete the current channel and bank - the bank is indicated at the bottom of the display.
. Changing the Transmitting Channel:
Slidlng open the body of the microphone as described above will not only reveal the battery compartment, but also two small push button switches,
These are located on the opposite side of the microphone to the battery compartment, adyacerlt to the LCD.
Whilst the microphone is switched on, press and hold the switch nearest to the base or the microphone until FrEo is displayed on the LCD. Releasing
the Sir/Itch at this stage will advance the transmitting frequency to the next treouency in the current bank. Continuing to hold down the switch Will scroll
through the available frequencies in the current bank, and whatever lrequency is displayed when the switch is released will be chosen as the
transmitting frequency, Thls setting is stored in memory withln the mlcrophone and will be retained even when the microphone is switched Off,
The exact selection Dl channels available in each bank will depend all now the transmimr has been programmed In the factory. ll Can contain up In 32
unique channels, which can be arranged in up to 4 banks. but your transmitter will not necessarily contain this many channels or banks,
- Changing the current Bank:
Slide open the microphone body and locate the two push button switches as described above.
Whilst the microphone is switched on, press and hold the switch nearest the LCD untll SAM is displayed on the LCD. The current bank (displayed at
the bottom of the LCD) will then scroll through are available hanks (up to 4 in total) Release the switch when the desired bank ls shown. and this wrll
become the current hanlt After changing the current bank, it will probably be necessary to choose the desired transmitting frequency from the new
bank as described above This setting, like the transmitting trequency, is stored in niemoiy and will be retained even when the microphone is switched
all
As already mentioned above. the exact selection of banks available will depend on how the transmitter has been programmed in the factory. There can
be up to 4 banks, but if there is only 1, this Option will not be functional
- Changing the Audio Gain:
Locate the two push button swrlches as described above and press them both down together. Alter a short delay. GAIn WlII be displayed an the LCD
along with a number from 0 tn 9. This number lathe current gain setting Continuing ta hold down flnly the right hand switch (nearest the LCD) will
increase the gain up to the maximum of 9, whilst holding down only the left hand switch will decrease the gain down to the minimum at 0, When neither
switch has been pressed lor a perlod at time, the display will revert to showing the transmitting frequency, and the new gain will have been selected
and stored Refer lo the receiver instructions tol details an how to optimise the gain of your system to best suit the appllcatlon tor which it is to be used
Normally setting 9 (maximum) will be best for low SPL level microphone applications such as lntennews and conferences and gain 0 (minimum) is best
for hlgh SPL level applications such as stage use with high vocals. The gain is initially set to 5 or s in the factory.
$3500 & $4000 Beltpack Transmitters:
- Setting Up:
Screw the external antenna into the antenna connector on lhe top 01 the beltpadi. The antenna can either be a short wire or a helical type. Under no
circumstances should the length at a wire antenna be shortened Neither should a Wire antenna be curled up or wrapped with the audio lead , this will
reduoe the performance ulthe radio system.
Belmack Transmitters only - insert the Lerno connector tor the lapel microphone into the audio connector using the two red idenis as a polarity guide.
Do not Mist this connector. Keep the audio lead and the antenna Separated at all times
Slide the side of the beltpack up and place a W (MN1604) battery in the compartment observing the curred polarity and with mnnactors racing into the
case.
Swltdt on the beltpack using the switch on the top. The LED will light up ii the battery is good Note that the LED will extinguish when the battery needs
