Quick Start Guide
Setting Up Pre-Engineered SACOM Systems for Optimal Performance
On site, remote commissioning of SACOM Systems is available at no additional cost.
For support please call USA (+1) (386) 418-2000 between the hours of 9 - 5 EST., Monday thru Friday.
Note: SACOM offers free pre-engineering so that the systems arrive at your job site ready to plug and play.
Open the Cartons: Confirm everything on the packing slip is enclosed.
1.
Set up the Docking Station: SACOM transmitters are shipped with rechargeable batteries. Plug
in the charging dock, put the batteries in the transmitters, then place the transmitters in the dock
while you set up the rest of the system.
2.
Mount the Receivers in the Rack and connect them to power. Confirm the displays light up.
3.
Pre-engineered Antenna Design: If you provided SACOM with a floor plan, you will find a marked
up version in the box (or, in your Email in-box) showing the antenna design along with the
antennas and pre-made cables. Place the antennas according to the drawings.
A. Your Own Design: If you did not request an antenna design, place the antennas according
to the enclosed Antenna Applications Guide or download it from www.SacomUSA.com >
Downloads. Improper antenna placement is the main cause of poor RF performance.
B.

5.
6.
Dipole Antennas: Dipole antennas mounted to the rack equipment can easily be locked
away in a closet/rack cabinet. This results in poor RF performance because there is no line
of sight between the transmitter and receiver antenna. Therefore, remote antennas are
preferred. See the Antenna Application Guide for details.
Connect the Antennas: The receiver that connects to the antennas should be set as the
Antenna Master receiver. Master is the factory default. If your system daisy-chains antennas
together, the downstream receivers should be set as Slaves. Terminators are used on the
last system in the daisy-chain. Use SACOM Remote’s Antenna Setup Wizard, which opens
automatically the first time you connect. You can also find the wizard under the SETTINGS tab
of the main page. If connecting Sacom active remote antennas, make sure the red LED lights up.
If not, check the receiver’s antenna phantom power setting using the Sacom Remote Control
Software.
Connect the analog outputs to the mixer: The system is shipped with either XLR or Euro block
connectors. The default output level is set to +4 dBu. Note that factory default for the front panel
headphone jack is set for mixed line-level out. Use SACOM Remote>Settings>Headphone, to reset
for headphones.
CAUTION! Turn off phantom power from the mixer. Phantom power distorts the audio quality
of your microphones.									
System Test: In most cases, the system is now ready to use. Confirm all channels pass audio
perfectly.

Using the SACOM remote software:
Editing Transmitter Parameters:
The easiest and most intuitive way to set the parameters of SACOM™ transmitters and receivers is with SACOM™ Remote
software. Load SACOM™ Remote (from disk or download from www.SacomUSA.com) onto a computer running Windows
XP or Windows 7 (32 or 64-bit) and connect to the receiver via USB or RS232. Then open SACOM™ Remote and select
ONLINE.
Open The Channel Edit Window:
1) The [Click to Edit] function opens the edit window of the channel you wish to edit.
2) Select the functions you want to edit and enter the parameter. (The various functions are described below.) Click [OK]
to save the changes and close the Channel Edit window.
3) You will notice that the [Needs to Sync] alert is lit. This indicates that one or more parameters are in queue in the receiver
ready to be downloaded and implemented with the next transmitter Sync of the channel.
1)
Click to Edit the channel’s parameters
2)
Select the new parameter values and click OK to
save changes to the receiver.
SACOM Remote provides the following functions:
3)
The “Need To Sync” alert is lit. Sync the transmitter to apply the selected
parameters.
1. File: Save a PDF image of the screen.
2. Settings:
A. Phantom Power: Turn antenna phantom power on or off. Default = ON.
B. Redundancy: Set adjacent pairs of receivers to redundancy mode. Default = OFF.
C. Headphone Mode: Toggles the mixed output jack from headphone mode to a balanced line output. Default = Balanced

2) Power on the transmitter.
3) Hold transmitter about 6 inches from the corresponding receiver module with the IR sensor aimed at the receiver module.
4) Simultaneously press the two buttons on the bottom of the corresponding receiver module to start sending the IR signal.
“SYNCING” shows on the receiver OLED when the IR signal starts. “SYNC OK” shows when the sync is successful. Repeat the
procedure if the receiver display shows “SYNC FAILED”. It is not necessary to press any buttons on the transmitter during the
procedure. Note: You may get a “Sync Failed” message if the receiver antennas are not in the same room as the receiver. In this
case verify that either the transmitter display shows “Sync Good” OR the green LED on the transmitter flashes. Also make sure to
dock each transmitter after syncing to avoid 2 transmitters being synced to the same receiver frequency.
NOTE: The transmitter and receiver are assigned a new, random AES 256-bit encryption key every time they are synced.
How to read the LED:
1. The Gooseneck or
Boundary Mic is in use:
RED = AUDIO MUTE
GREEN = AUDIO PASSES
BLINKING RED = BATTERY IS LOW
BLINKING GREEN = SYNC SUCCESSFUL
2. The Gooseneck Battery Cassette and
Boundary Mic are in the docking station:
RED = CHARGING
OFF/OR GREEN = FINISHED CHARGING
BLINKING RED = CHARGING ERROR (RE-SEAT THE
TRANSMITTER AND CHECK THE BATTERIES)
3. When the Hand-held Mic and the 		
Belt-pack are in the Docking Station:
The OLED shows
the battery status
NOTE: All transmitters placed in the charging dock will “RF MUTE”.

Receiver:
FRONT PANNEL:
SACOM™ receiver main-frames hold either four or eight, independent, 24-bit digital audio receiver modules. There is a front-panel
mixed audio output for headphones or direct recording. Each module shares the main-frame’s two antennas for full-diversity. Up to
eight receiver main-frames can be daisy-chained together into an antenna network that shares two antennas. This eliminates the
need for external antenna distribution amps. Main-frames can be connected to form an Ethernet network that monitor and control
the system via a computer. Main-frames also have USB and RS233 connections for serial monitor and control. AES/EBU digital
audio output and word clock sync is optional.
