Quick Start Guide
Seng Up Pre-Engineered SACOM Systems for Opmal Performance
Open the Cartons: Conrm everything on the packing slip is enclosed.
Set up the Docking Staon:1. SACOM transmiers are shipped with rechargeable baeries. Plug
in the charging dock, put the baeries in the transmiers, then place the transmiers in the dock
while you set up the rest of the system.
Mount the Receivers in the Rack2. and connect them to power. Conrm the displays light up.
Pre-engineered Antenna Design: 3. If you provided SACOM with a oor plan, you will nd 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.
Your Own Design: A. If you did not request an antenna design, place the antennas according
to the enclosed Antenna Applicaons Guide or download it from www.SacomUSA.com >
Downloads. Improper antenna placement is the main cause of poor RF performance.
Dipole Antennas: B. 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 transmier and receiver antenna. Therefore, remote antennas are
preferred. See the Antenna Applicaon Guide for details.
Connect the Antennas:4. 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
automacally the rst me you connect. You can also nd the wizard under the SETTINGS tab
of the main page. If connecng Sacom acve remote antennas, make sure the red LED lights up.
If not, check the receiver’s antenna phantom power seng using the Sacom Remote Control
Soware.
Connect the analog outputs to the mixer:5. 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>Sengs>Headphone, to reset
for headphones.
CAUTION! Turn o phantom power from the mixer. Phantom power distorts the audio quality
of your microphones.
System Test:6. In most cases, the system is now ready to use. Conrm all channels pass audio
perfectly.

Applies to DS80-T:
Under Industry Canada regulaons, this radio transmier may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmier by Industry Canada.
To reduce potenal radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary
for successful communicaon.
This radio transmier (DS80-T) has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for
each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
Monopole antenna, 0dbi gain, 50 ohm impedance.
Le présent émeeur radio (DS80-T) a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonconner avec les types d’antenne énumérés ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l’impédance
requise pour chaque type d’antenne. Les types d’antenne non inclus dans cee liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour l’exploitaon de
l’émeeur.
For Full Control
Select the new parameter values and click OK to
save changes to the receiver.
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.

Key:
1) Locate the IR (infrared) Sensor on the transmier
3) Hold transmier about 6 inches from the corresponding receiver module with the IR sensor aimed at the receiver module.
4) Simultaneously press the two buons on the boom 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 buons on the transmier 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 transmier display shows “Sync Good” OR the green LED on the transmier ashes. Also make sure to
dock each transmier aer syncing to avoid 2 transmiers being synced to the same receiver frequency.

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 distribuon 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 connecons for serial monitor and control. AES/EBU digital
audio output and word clock sync is oponal.
