    80 years of engineering experience with the very latest components, in a design that addresses the most demanding professional applications. The design of the UM500 was the direct result of numerous conversations with users, staging and touring companies and dealers across the US. The specific concerns and needs brought up in these conversations led directly to the development of the operational features offered on the UM500.
  • Page 4: General Technical Description

    RF signal is present on the carrier frequency of the system. The UM500 extends this concept even further by insuring that all transmitters in a system have different pilot tone frequencies so that even spurious RF from the wrong transmitters can’t open the...

    ANTENNA The antenna on the UM500 consists of a flexible 1/4 wavelength bronze cable, detachable via an SMA connector. The impedance of this connector is 50 Ohms.

    Note A NiMH battery will give little or no warning when it is depleted. If you wish to use NiMH batteries in the UM500, we recommend trying fully charged batteries in the unit, noting the length of time that the batteries will run the unit and in the future use somewhat less than that time to determine when the battery needs to be replaced.

    WARNING 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", Belt Clip FL100 screw.

    SELECTING THE COMPATIBILITY MODE All units are capable of working with Lectrosonics 110 series analog , 300 series analog, 500 series digital hybrid or some other analog wireless receivers (contact the factory for details). The transmitter must be set to the operating mode of the matching receiver, which is easily done using only the supplied screwdriver and a battery.

    Frequency-Agile UHF Belt-Pack Transmitter The –20 and –10 LEDs will blink: • Once for 110 Series mode • Two times for 300 Series mode • Three times for some other receivers • Four times for 500 Series mode • Five times for IFB mode* At powerup the transmitter will confirm the current compatibility mode with the number of blinks listed here.

    UM500 MICROPHONE CORD TERMINATION Caution When wiring the connector, do not use the connector body for any electrical connections. A common mistake is to use the connector body as an audio ground. The connector body is already used as an RF ground on VHF models and no other use is permitted.

    Low impedance microphone level input for dynamic microphones. Also accepts hand-held electret micro­ phones provided the microphone has its own built-in battery. 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. PIN 5 High impedance, line level input for tape decks, mixer outputs, musical instruments, etc.

    Leaded capacitors: P/N 15117 Leadless capacitors: P/N SCC330P All Lectrosonics lavaliere mics are already bypassed and do not need any additional capacitors installed for proper operation. Caution When wiring the connector, do not use the connector body for any electrical connections. A common mistake is to use the connector body as an audio ground.
