80 years of engineering experience with the very latest components, in a design that addresses the most demanding professional applications. The design of the UM400 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 UM400.
The Lectrosonics Digital Hybrid system overcomes channel noise in a dramatically new way, digitally encoding the audio in the transmitter and decoding it in the receiver, yet still sending the encoded information via an analog FM wireless link.
RF signal is present on the carrier frequency of the system. The UM400 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...
Note A NiMH battery will give little or no warning when it is depleted. If you wish to use NiMH batteries in the UM400, 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.
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", FL100 screw. Belt Clip Belt Clip Retaining Screw Location *Not available on earlier units.
Do not force the door closed. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS SELECTING THE COMPATIBILITY MODE All units with serial number 601 and up are capable of working with Lectrosonics 400 Series Digital Hybrid Wire- ™ less , 200 Series analog, 100 Sseries analog and some non-Lectrosonics analog wireless receivers (contact the factory for details).
Frequency-Agile UHF Belt-Pack Transmitter The –20 and –10 LEDs will blink: • Once for 100 Series mode • Two times for 200 Series mode • Three times for some other receivers • Four times for 400 Series mode • Five times for IFB mode* At powerup the transmitter will confirm the current compatibility mode with the number of blinks listed here.
UM400 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 1K 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.
Frequency-Agile UHF Belt-Pack Transmitter TROUBLESHOOTING Before going through the following chart, be sure that you have a good battery in the transmitter. It is important that you follow these steps in the sequence listed. SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE TRANSMITTER BATTERY LED OFF 1) Battery is inserted backwards.
