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:
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
3. Pre-engineered Antenna Design:
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:
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. Dipole Antennas:
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.
4. Connect the Antennas:
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.
5. Connect the analog outputs to the mixer:
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.
6. System Test: In most cases, the system is now ready to use. Confirm all channels pass audio
perfectly.
Modifications (FCC 15.21)
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by Sabine, INC may void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
Applies to DS80-T:
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada.
To reduce potential 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 communication.
This radio transmitter (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 émetteur radio (DS80-T) a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner 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 cette liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour l'exploitation de
l'émetteur.
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
