Rangemaster AM1000 Install Instructions

AM1000 INDOOR INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
Plug in the power, the Set Power LED should come on. (Refer to the above diagram) Turn the Audio Gain all the way down
counter clockwise. Turn the Cap Tune so it is near the middle of it's range, 5 turns from either end, it is a 10 turn device. Place
the shunt on the Coil Tune bank near the middle, position 5 or 6. Then turn Radio Power Gain up unit the Tune Meter shows
about "4". Now move the Coil Tune shunt up and down the bank, you are looking for the position that gives the highest reading
on the meter. You will need to look at the reading, move the shunt, remove your hand then recheck the reading. Having your hand
on the shunt will effect the meter reading. Once this is done take the tuning tool, and adjust the Cap Tune.
You are trying to peak the meter. As you as rotating the Cap
Tune you should see the meter peak. If the meter goes down
when you rotate the Cap Tune either way then you are tuned.
The goal is to have the meter at the most peak voltage possi-
ble you can obtain by moving the shunt and Cap Tune. Ad-
just the Radio Power Gain if it is helpful. If two shunt posi-
tions seem to work use the one that peaks with the Cap Tune
in the most counter clockwise position.
Power
Setting the power is easy, simply rotate Radio Power Gain
until Set Power LED turns Green, rotate very slowly. Now
turn the Audio Gain back all the way up. Once the Audio
Gain is turned up the LED will flash red and green.
Unpack
You should have the transmitter and
power supply, Antenna, two crystals if
you ordered the AM1000C model, a tun-
ing tool, and a spare shunt.
First
Find a place to put the transmitter, higher
up in the building is better, you may want
to try several locations to find the best
place. Try to find an low traffic location.
Mount
Mount the transmitter to a wall, the unit
should be used indoors only. See the dia-
grams for suggested mounted ideas. Keep
in mind you need to plug in the power
supply.
Connect
Connect your Audio and antenna. See the
diagrams for guidelines to mount the an-
tenna. Keep the antenna away from metal.
The antenna wire should be attached so it
will not move. You can use staples, tape,
ect, to attach the antenna wire.
Connect your audio to the RCA jack. You
may need an adapter cable if you device
has a 1/8" jack for example. If you want
to drive the audio balanced bring the
twisted pair cable into the hole, connect
the two wires to the AF+ and AF– con-
nections on the terminal block.
Crystal
Be sure to install the crystal if you have
the AM1000C crystal model.
