Connecting and Positioning of remote Antennae In multichannel systems we recommend the use of the AT 70 A/B UHF antenna set consisting of antennae, cables, antenna boosters and mounting kit. 1. Connect the receiving antennae to the corresponding antenna inputs and place the antennae to the right and left of the receiver in the operating range where the transmitter is to be used.
ZAS 900 Antenna Splitter 1.7.1 Controls and Indicators (1) On/Off switch and power on LED. When the antenna splitter is switched on, the red LED will illuminate. (2) RF outputs to connect the receivers (3) DC-connection to connect the DC power supply unit (12 V) (4) Antenna sockets A/B.
1.7.3 General Information 1. The antenna sockets (4) feature a voltage of 8 V DC bias. To avoid a short circuit the sockets must not touch the rack housing. 2. For the connection of remote antennae use usual 50Ω coaxial cables. The longer the cable, the higher the RF signal loss.
Connection to a PC The NE 911/912/914 receiver is fitted with an RJ 11 connector with an IN and OUT socket. In order to operate several receivers with a PC they have to be connected as described below. • Connect the OUT-socket of the first receiver (RX 1) with the IN-socket of the second receiver (RX 2), connect the OUT-socket of the second receiver (RX 2) with the IN-socket of the third receiver (RX 3) and so on.

LC-Display 1. “ERR“ Message: When the “ERR“ message is displayed, there is an error. ERR noo3: The frequency you want to program is above the switching bandwidth of the transmitter. Use a receiver with an appropriate frequency group. (At this time the microphone is still operating and the frequency remains unchanged.
The interference is possibly eliminated by changing the squelch (refer also to chapter 1.4.5 “Squelch”. When using multi-channel-systems, please contact beyerdynamic. Interferences can also be caused by DVB-T television transmitters in the neighbourhood. What to Do to avoid Feedback Feedback is caused by your microphone getting too close to a loudspeaker.
