Setting up the receiver

This sections describes how to set up the receiver.

You can also install the receiver in a fixed location, e.g. in a 19" rack. You can find more information about installing the receiver in a fixed location under: Installing receivers in a rack.

Affixing the device feet
Only affix the device feet if you are setting the receiver up in the stand-alone position instead of installing it in a 19" rack. The device feet will get in the way if the receiver is installed in a rack.
  1. Clean the recesses for the device feet at the base of the receiver.
  2. Affix the device feet to the recesses of the receiver.
  3. Place the receiver on a flat, horizontal surface.
    The device feet will adhere reliably to the receiver only after some time. Avoid moving the receiver during this time.
Attaching the mounting angles
The mounting angles are designed to help protect the operating elements from damage or deformation, e.g. if the receiver is dropped. We therefore recommend always attaching the mounting angles, even if you do not want to mount the receiver into a rack.
  1. Unscrew and remove the two recessed head screws on each side of the receiver.
  2. Secure the mounting angles to the sides of the receiver using the previously removed recessed head screws.
    Make sure that the angled ends of the mounting angles point forward.

Connecting the rod antenna to the receiver
  1. Screw the two rod antennas into the receiver’s two antenna sockets ANT I and ANT II, as shown.
  2. Align the rod antenna vertically.

Connecting the AWM 2 / AWM 4 remote antenna to the receiver
Instead of the supplied rod antenna, you can also connect a remote antenna to the receiver. For more information, see AWM 2 / AWM 4 remote antennas.
  1. Pay attention to the notes about antenna installation under Recommendations on antenna mounting.
