Scan & Auto-Setup menu item

The EM 6000 lets you scan the frequency spectrum and display all of the free frequencies in the selected frequency range. The automatic frequency setup can be used to distribute the free frequencies to all of the EM 6000 devices available in the network automatically.

You can select the frequency range to be scanned from the predefined frequencies B1 to B6 or from the user-defined frequency banks U1 to U6 or set them manually.

The Auto Setup function also helps you set up an equidistant frequency grid using the E frequency bank intended for this purpose. For more information about the equidistant frequency grid, see Equidistant frequency grid.

Alternatively, you can also use the Sennheiser Wireless Systems Manager (WSM) software or the Sennheiser Control Cockpit (SCC) software.

Preparing the frequency scan and the automatic frequency setup:
  1. Activate the Auto Setup function in the System menu item for all of the EM 6000 devices in the network that you want to include in the automatic frequency setup. See System -> Auto Setup menu item.
    If the function is not activated for an EM 6000, the automatic frequency setup cannot be performed for this EM 6000.
    The EM 6000 on which you perform the Auto-Setup function is defined as the master device in the network. The other devices adopt the follower function.
  2. Switch off all transmitters before you perform the scan.
    If transmitters are still switched on, they are detected as unavailable frequencies and the frequencies that are actually available cannot then be used.
  3. On the home screen, press the jog dial to open the operating menu.
  4. Turn the jog dial until the Scan & Auto-Setup menu item appears in the selection frame:
  5. Press the jog dial to open the menu.
Perform the frequency scan:
  1. In the Scan & Auto-Setup menu item, select the New Scan option to perform a complete scan of the environment.
  2. In the Scan & Auto-Setup menu item, choose Use Old Scan if you have already performed a scan and you want to add only a small number of new devices to the existing production environment.
    • After you choose New Scan, the following view is displayed.

    • After you choose Use Old Scan, the result of the last scan is displayed.

  3. Use Old Scan option: Continue in the next section Editing displayed frequencies.
  4. New Scan option: Turn the jog dial to select the frequency range to be scanned:
    • Choose All for the Country setting to scan the entire EM 6000 frequency range.
    • Choose USA, Japan, China, or Korea if you use specific frequency variants for the transmitters so that only the frequency range that is actually used is scanned.
  5. Or: Press the jog dial to set the frequency range to be scanned manually.
    You can adjust the value by turning the jog dial. Press the jog dial to move back and forth between the individual points of the frequencies.
  6. After you set the frequency range to be scanned, press the jog dial until the Start option in the top left of the selection is displayed with a white background.
  7. Press the jog dial to start the frequency scan.
    • The scan is performed. The progress is displayed in % on the display.

    • Once the scan is performed, the result is displayed. All of the free frequencies in the selected range are displayed.

Editing displayed frequencies:
  1. Press the jog dial.
    The Party option is displayed in the bottom left with a white background.
  2. Turn the jog dial to the right.
    The Edit function is displayed in the bottom right in a white background.

    The following view is displayed:

  4. Press the jog dial to search for the channel that you want to skip during the automatic frequency setup.
  5. Press the jog dial
    The checkbox for the Skip option is highlighted in white.

  6. Turn the jog dial to activate the Skip option for the selected channel.
  7. Press the jog dial to select an additional channel to skip.
  8. Press the SAVE button to save the setting.
    You can press the ESC button to cancel the function without saving.
Starting the automatic frequency setup:
If you have performed the scan and edited the frequencies, you can start the automatic frequency setup. On the display, the Party option must be highlighted in white.

  1. Press the jog dial to display the next step.
  2. Turn the jog dial to choose whether the sync settings are also to be transmitted during the synchronization.
    If you do not activate this option, only the frequency is sent to the respective transmitters.
  3. Press the jog dial to start the automatic frequency setup.
    The setup is performed for all receivers that are available in the network. Note that the Auto-Setup option in the System menu item must be activated for all of the receivers. Once setup is complete, the following message is shown on all displays of all receiving channels.

  4. Synchronize all of the channels and the corresponding transmitters using the Sync function (Synchronizing devices).
If you press the ESC button for one channel, the sync is canceled for both channels of the particular EM 6000.

However, if you press the ESC button for the channel in which you started the auto-setup function, the sync is canceled for all of the channels in the network.

The EM 6000 on which you perform the Auto-Setup function is defined as the master device in the network. The other devices adopt the follower function.
