OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
83500 & $4000 SERIES
Introduction:
Thank you tor purchasmg your Trantei: 53500 or 54000 system. All systems incorporate a diversity receiver » this uses two antennas and switches to
the one with the best signal slmnglh to minimise the chance Oi drop out , when the signal is lost momentarily due to natural radio wave phenumena
The set up procedure for each of these systems is detailed In these instructions and iftollowad will ensure your complete satisfaction with the product
. Background inionnarion:
The 53500 and 84000 are VHF and UHF diversity systems respectively They offer an easy to use microprocessor controlled synthesised recelvar and
transmitter whlch can operate on up to 32 different channels The exact selection of channels available will depend on how your system has been
programmed In Ihe factory To simplify the process 07 loo-ting lite desired channel. the selection can be divided up into banks There can be up to (our
banks. again this will depend upon how your system has been programmed. The ability to change operallng channel will be lmniedlately useful in any
situation where the system is to be used at varying locations, where the presence or other radio microphone users may cause problems when using a
fixed channel system
- General Radio Microphone operating Guldcllnsl:
Atways try to locate the receiver as close as possible to the transmitter, as this minlmlses the chance or there being any drop out. Although this is most
unlikely with a diversity system. the greater the transmitting range. the greater the chance or problems. Always try to ensure a line of sight signal path
between the transmitter and receiver» obstacles such as walls can significantly reduce the radio signal strength. Obviously the transmitter and receiver
must be on the same channel. It you are using more than one system simultaneously. choose a slot of intermodulation free frequencies. Please reler to
the channel listings at the end of these instructions as a guide to finding a suitable set or frequencies. Your local distributor will be able to assist in this
matter. It is wise to avoid placing the receiver near to computer or moblle telephone equipment, as this can create unwanted radio interference As
emphasised in these instructions. always operate any radio microphone system with im antennas fully extended. Atways test a radio microphone
system in the locatlon where it is to be used by dolng a “walk test' This is where the sysleni is tested as the transmitter is walked around the area in
which it is to be used This will normally show up any problem areas. allowing you to try a new receiver location. By adjusting the location oi the
receiver. or even Just the alignment of lts antennas. It should be possible to obtain trouble tree operation Over the desired area, prcvldsd Ihat it Is not
too large to exceed the transmiiter's range, which is typically around 100m.
- Guarantee:
All Trarllac products are guaranteed tor a period 01 one year riom date or purchase against defects in materials and workmanshlp. In the event at a
claim under guarantee the system should be returned to your local distributor in its original packaging and with pmoi cl purchase, Detects caused by
modification, misuse or accident are not covered by the guarantee.
Due to our contlnual policy of research and development we reserve the right to alter specificallons without prior notice.

$3500 & $4000 Diversity Receivers:
- Setting Up:
54000 only - connect the two antennas to the rear An angle or around 50 degrees between each antenna is recommended for optimum coverage v the
antennas should never be exactly parallel as this reduces the enemlveness of the diversity switching sytern The status of the two antennas (Pass or
Not Connected) is displayed brieily when the power is first connected
$3500 only » tuliy extend the two attached antennas and if possible set them to angles as described above,
Connect the mains power adapter in the no in rear panel connection and to the mains supply Always and only use the Trantlc power supply
provided with your system.
Turn down gain at your mixer or PA system down and connect the audio Output, either rrorn the XLR (83500 8x 84000 only) or jack connector to the
desired audio input on your system. The oumut ofthe XLR Is fixed, but the output of the Jack can be varied using the adiaoent GAIN control. For details
on how to set the upttmum level for this 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 urderto prevent there being a ‘poo‘ as you connect the audio lead
The receiver will start on whatever frequency it was last set to It you have a transmitter tuned to this irequency and sWitctted on, then the receiver
should immediately receive, otherwise it Will stay in RF MUTE mode It you receive interference lrorn other transmissions on the same channel, adjust
the MUTE LEVEL control an the rear panel This can only be done when the transmitter is turned oft.
- An Explanation otthe Frunt Panel and Option-z
When the receiver is muted, it will display RF MUTE and the current hoquency.
When the receiver is receiving, it will display the frequency of the current channel and a small bar chart indicating the recelved RF power, unless the
Display Name? Option has been selected (see below), in which case a user name will be displayed rather than the bar chart. This tacility is useful in
situauons 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 chan will
give an indication or how good the radio Signal item the transmitter is. The more segments that are lit. the better the signal, although there is little
degredaticn until 3 segments or less are showing. This feature is most usefiul when first locating the receiver in order to receive the strongest possible
signal, it is also useiui lor finding potential trouble areas where the signal from 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 indicates the audio level irom
the transmitter. It is most uselui when optimrslng the system’s gain as described later,
The three LEDs indicate which antenna is being used and the presence of a high (> +3dB) audio signal. The two antenna LEDs simply indicate the
operation ofthe diversity system. The audio peak LED is useful when setting the system's gain.
- Configuring the Recelv
All oonhguration is done using the two front panel push buttons To ohange the configuration first enter the SETUP MENU by pressing both buttons
together The following options are available trom the menu. in this order:
CHANNEL CHANGE
BANK CHANGE
PROGRAM INFO
MUTE LEVEL
NAME INPUT
DISPLAY NAME?
F’9‘°$‘N.‘
Tn scroll through these options, press the A button To select a particular option. press the SELECT buttnn, The results of selecting a particular option
are outlined individually in the sections that tulle/w, 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.
- Selecting CHANNEL CHANGE:
Initially the current channel's frequency is displayed, Press or hold down the A button to scroll through the available channels in the current bank
When you reach the requrred new frequency, press the SELECT button to choose it, The reoenrerwil immediately switch to the new lrequency, and the
normal display will return
The exact selection or channels available in each bank will depend on how 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 will not necessarily mnlain this marry channels or banks.
- Selocting BANK CHANGE:
The current bank is displayed. Pressing the A button writ change to the next hank. 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 Currant frequency to the first in the new
bank, so it will probably be necessary to change the frequency alter changing the bank
As already mentioned above, (be 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.
- Selecting PROGRAM INFO:
This will display information on the program in the receiver. To clear this rnrormation. press the SELECT button to return to the normal display.
- Selecting MUTE LEVEL:
This will show the setting or the rear MUTE control, and will change to reflect adyustmehts made to this control. Press the SELECT button to clear this
inlormatlon. if the receiver is muted. this will return you to the normal display. otheiwrse you will see the RF bar chart In this case. pressing either
button will then return you R) the normal display. See the section below for details oi how to set the mute level for optimum perffirmarlce When
Edlllslll’lg the mute level, the transmitter should be switched 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. ln order to
change the naem from this Option, the name Is displayed with a cursor under the first character. Pressing or holding down the A button will scroll
through the available characters at the cursor position. Pressmg the SELECT button will move the cursor along one posrltnn 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 or the eight character locations in
turn, it you miss the character you want, simply scroll round until it comes back again,
- Salefllng DISPLAY NAMET:
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 oil
Pressing the SELECT button will return you to the normal display
~ Setting the not. Level:
The mute level can be adjusted if the receiver is picking up unwanted radio signals (due to intermodulation and other FM signals). ln order to make this
adjustment, the transmitter must be switched off_ The receiver should now be muted. ll 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 Ol the mute
setting Once you have done this. switch the transmitter back an and check its operation it desired, the mute level can be viewed in 8 numerical format
on the $3500 and 34000 by selecting the appropriate menu option as described above. Setting the mute level too high will reduce the range or your
system. $3500 and 54000 receivers indicate on Iheir display that they are muted.
. Optimising the Gain of your systom:
In orderto achieve the best possible audio psiioimonee from your radio system, it is worth spending a row minutes setting the optimum gain level
First adyust the gain of your transmitter, as described in the appropriate secfion. The optimum setting for this thI be round by first adjusting the
transmitter gain so that the audio peak LED art the receiverjust illuminates for the loudesl signal that is likely to be transmitted. The gain should then
be decreased slightly so that the peak LED never “sits in normal operation, I'the peak LED is lit, then distortion is likely. The optimum setting will vary
according to who is using the microphone and how close the microphone is piaoad to the mouth. For guitar systems. drrierent instruments will require a
different setting The fmnt panel VU meter is also available as a guide
Once the transmitter gain is optimised. it is necessary to match the receiver's output gain to your mixing desk or PA system. it using the jack output,
adjust the GAIN control to grve the optimum level for your system Adjusting this too high may cause distortion
353500 8. $4000 Handheld Transmitters:
- Setting Up:
Screw the external antenna lntu the the base 01 the microphone For maximum range and performance it is important not to
place your hand around this antenna w 8 li in operation.

the bottom 0! the LCD) will then scroll through the available banks (up to 4 in tolal). Release the switch when the desired bank ls shown. and this will
become the current bank. After changing the current hankt lt will probably be naoessary to choose the desired transmitting frequency from the new
bank as described above This setting. Ilke the transmitting frequency, is stored In memory and will be retained even when the microphone is switched
all
As already mentioned above, the exact selection of banks available erI depend on how the transmitter has been programmed In the rectory There can
be up to 4 banks, but if there 15 only 1. this option will not be functional.
. changing the Audio Gain:
Locate the two push button switches as described above and press them both down together, Alter a short delay, GAln will be displayed on the LCD
along with a number from o to 9. This number is the current gain setting. Continuing to hold down only the right hand swrtch (nearest the LCD) will
increase the gain up to the maximum or 9‘ whilst holding down only the left hand switch will decrease the gain dollar to the minimum or 0. When neither
switch has been pressed for a period or time, the display will revert to showing the tmnsmitling lraquency. and the new galn will have been selected
and stored. Reiorto the receiver instructions tor details on how to optimise the gain olyour system to best suit the applicatlon tor which it is to he used
Normally setting 5 maximum will he best for low SPL level microphone applications such as interviews and conferences and gain 0 (minimum) is best
for high SPL level applications such as stage use with high vocals. The gain is initially set to 5 ore in the factory.
$3500 & $4000 Beltpack Transmitters:
. Setting Up:
Screw the external antenna into the antenna connector on the top of the beltpack The antenna can either be a short wire or a hellcal type Under no
clrcumstances should the length or a wire antenna be shortened Neither should a wrre antenna be curled up or wrapped with the audie lead . this will
reduce the perrolmarloe erlhe radio system.

DU not twtst this connector. Keep the audio lead and the antenna separated at all times
Slide the side olthe beltpack up and place a Qv (MN1604) battery in the compartment observing the correct pclarity and with connectors iaclrlg mm the
case.
Switch on the bellpack using the switch On the top The LED will light up it the battery is good, Note that the LED will extlnguish when the battery needs
replacing. On the $3500 and 54000. the LCD will also display the current channel and bank - the bank is indicated at the bottom 01 the display.
- Changing the Transmitting Channel:
Slide down the side of the beltpack to reveal two small push button wishes and a gain control.
Whilst the beltpack is slmtnhed an. press and hold the switch nearest to the base at the beltpack uhtil FrEq is displayed on the LCD. Releasing the
switch at this stage will advance the Iransmittlng lrequency to the next irequency in the Current bank. Continuing to hold down the switch will scroll
through the available frequencies in the current bank. and whatever irequency is displayed when the switch is released will be chosen as the
transmitting Vreduency. This setting is stored in memory within the heltpack and wlll be retained even when the beltpack is swrtched alt.
The exact selection of channels available in each bank will depend on how 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 will not necessarily contain this many channels or banks.
- Changing the current Bank:
