3.1 Receiver Setup And Operation - Electro-Voice REV Operating Instructions Manual

3.1 Receiver Setup and Operation

A. Receiver Setup
1. Place the receiver and antennas where there is a clear
line of sight to the area where the transmitter will be used.
Rotate the antennas to separate them by 90 degrees.
See Part 15 for more information.
2. Connect the power cord to the receiver. Turn the receiv-
er on and confirm that it is ON by checking the main dis-
play screen. The display will show the company logo,
software revision level and then display the main screen
with the last channel set.
B. Manual Channel Change
1. From the main display screen press the MENU button
once to display the edit screen.
2. Press SET and the group number will flash. The UP and
DOWN buttons allow you to scroll through the 18 factory
groups and 2 user definable groups.
3. When the group you desire is displayed, press SET to select
that group and the Channel Number will start flashing.
4. Scroll to the desired channel, press SET to select.
5. Pressing MENU anytime before pressing SET negates
any changes made since the last SET.
6. Once the desired group and channel are displayed (but
not flashing) press MENU twice to return to the main dis-
play screen.
C. Frequency Assignment (User Defined Groups Only)
1. With a User Group (19u or 20u) and channel selected in
step three, press SET until the Frequency Number flashes.
2. Use UP/DOWN to scroll in 25 kHz steps to the desired
frequency. With the desired frequency displayed press
SET. Hint: holding in the arrow key will increase the
speed of the scroll. Just release and press again for fine
control.
3. Repeat until all desired Channels in the user group are
assigned a frequency.
4. Press MENU twice to return to the main display screen.
D. Advanced ClearScan: This feature automates the process
of finding a clear group of inter-modulation free channels
and the clearest channels within those groups. From the
main display screen push Menu twice to go to the MENU
Screen and press SET to select ClearScan.
E. ClearScan All: This function scans all of the groups (factory
and user) and returns a list of groups ranked by the number
of free channels.
1. Once ClearScan All has run, the screen will display the
clearest group with the open channels in that group. You
can scroll through the other ranked groups using
UP/DOWN.
2. When you have the group you want, press SET to run
ClearScan on that group. The display will now show the
group with the Channels ranked by clearness and the
clearest channel will be flashing.
3. Press SET to select and the clearest channel will be
installed, display will return to the main display.
NOTE: Groups 17 and 18 have 16 channels and are marked with
an N (17n). These groups require the transmitters to be in
the LOW transmit power setting to work together. After
ClearScan All runs, the N groups will always be displayed
after groups 1-18 and any user defined groups no matter
how many channels are free. If you need to use more than
12 systems at one time, scroll down to the N groups and
use the clearest group with Normal transmit power.
F. ClearScan Group: this function will scan the group currently
selected, which is useful for multi-system setup.
1. Use ClearScan All on the first unit of a multi-system instal-
lation to select the clearest group.
2. For each system added, leave all previously selected
channel transmitters on, using Step 3 select the current
group, select ClearScan Group and press SET.
3. The display will show the remaining clear channels in the
group with the clearest flashing.
4. Select the desired channel with UP/DOWN or simply press
SET for the clearest channel.
5. The channel will be selected and return to the main display.
6. Repeat until all systems are set up.
G. ClearScan Band: selects and ranks the clearest 16 frequen-
cies in the 24 MHz bandwidth regardless of groups, channels
or previous coordination. This feature is useful for selecting
one clear channel in a very busy RF environment.
1. From the Options screen, select ClearScan Band and
press SET.
2. This scan will run until SET is pressed again so it can be
used to evaluate a site over an hour, day or even a week.
3. To end scan, press SET, the program displays Group 21S
with the clearest open frequencies in the band assigned
channels (up to 16).
4. These frequencies will remain assigned to this group until
ClearScan Band is run again.
Caution: Unlike the factory assigned groups, the channels in
21S are not coordinated. If more than two channels from group
21S are used, the combination must be walk tested with all
transmitters on before use.
