AM1000 QUICK INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS

In Studio

Ground Rod

Now connect the ground connection. Connect the ground binding post at the
bottom of the transmitter to an acceptable ground. A good ground is important
so the lighting protection circuitry in the unit will function. Be sure to follow
any NEC or local codes, ground any mounting mast and/or mounts. The rout-
ing of the control cable is not important, it can just be tie wrapped to the mast,
or clamped to a wall. All connections need to be tight, so they won't later
corrode from weathering.

Get Started!

Pick three locations 1) a
place for the transmitter
2) place for your studio
or inside connection (can
just be under a desk) and
3) a ground. Once you
have planned these loca-
tions so they will all
work together you are
ready!
Next do your cabling; if you have a balanced audio source you can connect the audio
pair directly to the transmitter, if you have an unbalanced (like a RCA jack) audio
source then use the AM1000PR adapter as shown. Plug in your audio to the 1/8 jack
on the adapter. Secure the control cable to the building or pole. Ground the control
wire shield at one end only.
First, put your transmitter
mount in, you can use stan-
dard 1 1/4 antenna mast
mount from Radio Shack or
an TV store. Be safe! Stay
away from electrical wires
and do not climb anything
unsafe! Remember the an-
tenna needs to be in the free
air, not up against anything.
