  • Page 3: Introduction

    • A DSP controlled analog limiter provides superior level control. • Eavesdropping is extremely difficult due to the secure encryption. The UM700 is a durable, machined aluminum package in a belt-pack configuration with a removable, spring loaded belt clip. A 5-pin input jack provides taps for any microphone or line level signal.
  • Page 4: General Technical Description

    This can create serious problems in multichannel wireless systems when an IM signal falls on the carriers, IF frequencies, local oscillator and image frequencies of the systems being operated. To eliminate this problem in the UM700, the modulated radio signal passes through a circular isolator before entering the an- LECTROSONICS, INC.
  • Page 5 At UHF frequencies, where wavelengths and antennas are shorter than at VHF frequencies, a resonant length wire is preferred over using the microphone cable as the antenna. The antenna on the UM700 consists of a flexible 1/4 wavelength bronze cable, detachable via an SMA connector. The impedance of this connector is 50 Ohms.

    LF ROLL OFF INPUT JACK The input jack on the UM700 is a Switchcraft TA5M connector that accommodates virtually every lavaliere, hand-held or shotgun microphone available, with positive or negative bias. The input will also cleanly handle line level signals up to 300 mV before limiting.
  • Page 7 USE ONLY THE SCREW THAT IS SUPPLIED The circuitry is tightly packed into this unit. A longer screw will permanently damage the transmitter! Use only Lectrosonics PN:28528 which is a Phillips head, 4-40 x 3/16", FL100 screw. Rio Rancho, NM – USA...
  • Page 8: Battery Installation

    UM700 BATTERY INSTALLATION The transmitter is powered by a standard alkaline or lithium 9 Volt battery. It is important that you use ONLY an ALKALINE or LITHIUM battery for longest life. Standard zinc-carbon batteries marked “heavy-duty” or “long­ lasting” are not adequate. Ni-cad rechargeable batteries will only provide 1.5 hours of operation, or less, and will run down quite abruptly.

    PIN 3 Low impedance microphone level input for dynamic microphones. Also accepts hand-held electret micro­ phones that have their own battery or power supply. PIN 4 4K Ohm source load for non-Lectrosonics electret microphones. Use in conjunction with other pins to provide attenuation of high level input signals.

LINE LEVEL SIGNALS The normal hookup for line level signals is: Signal Hot to pin 5, Signal Gnd to pin 1, pin 4 jumped to pin 1, and pin 3 jumped to pin 1.
