not harm the internal 12V supply, make certain that an antenna cable
shield does not contact the center conductor. Antenna Power ("ANT.
PWR") is selected (switched on or off) from the LCD menu. (On the
AEW-R5200, Antenna Power will be found in the menu on Channel
1 only.)

Front-mount Antennas

AEW-R4100: Provision has been made to move the antenna jacks
from the rear to the front of the receiver. However, because this
involves opening the receiver case and exposing AC power circuitry,
instructions are not included in this manual. A qualified service
technician must perform this modification.
AEW-R5200: BNC-to-BNC connectors and jumper cables are included
with the unit to permit mounting antennas on the front panel.
• BNC-BNC through-panel connectors: Remove the nut and
lock-washer from each connector. Install the connectors from
the front into the two panel holes. Note that the flat on the
threaded section must be aligned with the flat in each panel
hole. Secure each connector from the back with its lock-
washer and nut, tightening the nut firmly.
• BNC-BNC cable jumpers: Connect the jumpers to the rear
antenna jacks first; then attach them to the BNC connectors on
the front panel. Make certain the bayonet twist-rings are fully
latched on the connectors at both ends.
AEW-R5200: Press and release the Phones Level control knob to
switch headphone monitoring from Channel 1 to Channel 2 and
back again. Small, lighted indicators just above the knob show which
receiver channel is being monitored.

Power Connections

The switching power supply is designed to operate properly from
an AC power source 100–240V, 50/60 Hz without user adjustment.
Simply connect the receiver to a standard AC power outlet, using
only an IEC-type input cordset approved for the country of use.
Power to the unit is controlled by the front-panel Power switch.
AEW-R5200: An auxiliary AC "jumper" (pass-through) outlet is
provided on the rear panel, and a "jumper" power cordset is included,
to simplify power connections by "daisy-chaining" an array of AEW-
R5200's. Maximum output from the auxiliary outlet is 500W, which will
easily handle a full complement of AEW-R5200 units.

"Link" Connections

Artist Elite Series multi-channel systems can comprise all AEW-R4100,
all AEW-R5200, or combinations of AEW-R4100 and AEW-R5200
receivers. The exclusive IntelliScan™ channel assignment system
provides easy, automatic scanning of the RF spectrum and assignment
of usable, compatible frequencies to all linked AEW receiver channels.
Both AEW receiver models can be interconnected using Link In/Out
jacks and included link cables. In addition, the AEW-R5200 offers a
built-in Ethernet 10 BaseT connection, with interface software provided
on CD-ROM. See the separate AEW Control Interface manual provided
with AEW-R5200 receivers and 5000 Series systems.
All AEW receivers in a linked multi-channel system should be
interconnected with included link cables. When the system is
properly configured, the "slave" units will "link data in" to the
"Master" unit. (See Figure B
1. First, decide which receiver will be the "Master" unit. Connect
a link cable to the Link In jack only. (In an AEW-R5200, the
Channel 1 unit is the Master and Channel 2 becomes the first
"slave.")
2. Connect the free end of the link cable from the Master unit (in
#1 above) to the Link Out jack of the desired "next" unit.
3. Connect one end of a new link cable to the Link In jack of the
unit in #2 above.
4. Connect the free end of the link cable from the unit in #2
above to the Link Out jack of the desired "next" unit.
5. Continue this process of "daisy-chaining" the system's
receivers together with link cables. The "last" unit in the
system will have a cable connected to its Link Out jack, but no
connection to its Link In jack.
Installing link cables starting with the last slave unit and working
toward the Master unit is also acceptable practice.
The attachment order of link cables establishes the numerical order
of the receivers in the multi-channel system, from the selected
Master unit through all the slave units. (In the case of AEW-R5200
receivers, a unit's Channel 1 always comes before its Channel 2.)
In a multi-channel system that includes both models of receivers,
it's common practice to position all the AEW-R5200 units first in the
chain; followed by any AEW-R4100 units.
For the receiver linking to work, all receivers in the system
Note 1:
must have AC power applied at the same time, or the Master
receiver must be turned on last.
Note 2: In addition, if AC power is interrupted or a link connection
is broken at any receiver in a linked system, even for an instant,
receivers from that unit onward are no longer linked to the system.
When all power and linking have been restored, the system must
be restarted by turning all the receivers Off, then On (all turned on
simultaneously, or the Master receiver must be turned on last). This
will re-initialize the system and re-establish all the data links.
