OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
MODEL 829-15 A
FM RECEIVER
WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS RECEIVER TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
DESCRIPTION:
The Raymer Model 829-15 is an all solid state
monaural FM background music receiver. The receiver
consists of a tuner for the 88-108 MHz FM band and a 15
watt RMS audio amplifier. Provisions for paging may be
added to the receiver by the use of a Raymer Model
MPA-1 Microphone Preamplifier Accessory. A variable
tone control affects the sound from all the inputs.
The receiver has a music output jack for connection to
an external amplifier or tape recorder. An aux jack is
provided to allow the unit to amplify program material
from a source other than the self-contained radio tuner.
The speaker outputs of the receiver are for 4 or 8 ohms;
or 25 or 70 volt balanced or unbalanced lines. The
receiver is equipped with a circuit breaker to protect the
unit against possible damage caused by overload or
accidental shorts.
UNPACKING
The unit is to be removed carefully from the carton
and inspected for any possible damage in transit. If
there is any evidence of any damage which might have
occurred in shipment, immediately notify your supplier,
or the transportation company which delivered it.
Claims for damage sustained in transit must be made
upon the carrier. Save all packing material for in¬
spection by the claim agent who will furnish you with
the proper forms and will also give you the necessary
instructions for filing a claim.
INSTALLATION:
Because of its attractive appearance this unit may be
placed on a table or a shelf. Although the unit has ample
vents for normal ventilation, sufficient space should be
allowed around to permit free air flow. DO NOT PLACE
it on top of vacuum tube equipment. DO NOT STORE
OR OPERATE
it in areas where the ambient temperature
exceeds 140 degrees Fahrenheit. If installed in a cabinet,
ample ventilation must be allowed around the unit.
The receiver may be mounted in a 31/4"vertical panel
space in a rack, using a Raymer RPK-6 rack mounting kit.
This unit has an AC line cord with a 3 prong plug.
The line cord should be plugged into a 3 wire grounded
105 to 120 volt bOHz AC outlet. This will also ground
the receiver.
The AC receptacle on the rear panel is a 3 wire
grounded outlet which can supply power to accessory
or auxiliary equipment. Any auxiliary equipment con¬
nected to this AC receptacle is controlled by the
POWER on-off switch so that turning off the power on
the unit turns off all equipment.
CONNECTIONS
All connections are made on the rear panel of the
unit.
ANTENNA INPUT
For normal FM reception, the short antenna lead
supplied with the unit is sufficient for most locations. In
the event that the tuner is located in a remote area, an
external Dipole antenna will increase the number of
distant stations that can be received. This external
antenna is to be connected across the terminals marked
FM ANT.
AUX/PHONO INPUT
The PHONO input jack enables the unit to amplify
program material from a source other than the self-
contaned radio tuner. This input is high impedance
with a maximum sensitivity of one-half volt and will
accommodate the output of a ceramic phono cartridge
or the output from any preamplifier such as tape,
phono, etc. If the source into the PHONO input is from
leased telephone lines, a Raymer TM-2 telephone
adaptor is required to match the telephone lines to the
input.
