STEP BY STEP USE GUIDE:
1. Install your PSC Active RF Matrix Rack into your Sound cart using the rack brackets
included with each unit. Please note that these rack rail brackets are reversable from
front of unit to back of unit and can be installed with the rack unit flush to the rack face
or recessed simply by changing the screw rack mounting bracket screw locations.
Alternatively, you can use Velcro to mount the unit to a shelf on your sound cart if it is
not equipped with rack rails.
2. Connect your remote antenna cables to the various diversity input pairs using the BNC
connectors and high-quality RF cables. We recommend that you use RG-8/X cable for
cable lengths up to about 25 feet (8 meters). We recommend that you use RG-8 cable
for lengths over 25 feet. When using remote, powered antennas or remote line
amplifiers, make sure to flip the RF input switch on the front panel to the "UP" position.
You can verify that that individual BNC RF antenna input has remote power applied to
it by seeing the Yellow LED lit up next the BNC connector. "Antenna" power switch. If
you are not using remote powered antennas or remote RF amplifiers, flip the switch to
the "down" position so that no remote antenna power is applied to your RF input
cables.
3. Connect either a 12 VDC power source to the 4 pin XLR external power connector or
connect the unit to AC power using the AC power receptacle.
4. Connect up to 16 diversity receivers by connecting short RF interconnect cables from
the SMA outputs of the PSC Active RF Matrix to the SMA or BNC RF inputs on your
specific receivers. Typically, these RF interconnect cables are less than 2 feet (0.6meter)
long and can thus be made with various small diameter RF cable if desired as the loss
through these short cables is negligible. We typically suggest using RG-58, RG-8/X or
the smaller RF cables such as RG-174 or RG-316.
5. Power up the unit. Note that the power switch lights up RED when the unit is turned
on.
6. Select your diversity RF input pairs of antennas based on your particular circumstances.
For example, the actors are only in "Zone 1", so only turn on "Zone 1". If the actors are
in Zones 1, 3 and 4, then turn on Zones 1, 3 and 4.
