SET UP
1 Determine whether to engage the 13 dB signal boost located inside the
electronics housing. There is a gain setting inside the booster box located
on the antenna (Figure 1). The default setting is 5 dB which covers up to 25’
of cable length. For longer runs (up to 100’), the 13 dB setting may be used.
The dipswitch is located inside the weather resistant booster box. Remove
the 6 Allen bolts and then set the dipswitch to 13 dB, then reattach the
cover and Allen bolts.
2 Mount the antenna system on to a mic stand. For permanent installations,
the antennas may be placed on a wall or hung from the ceiling.
3 Connect the coaxial cable from each of the inputs on the receiver to the
connector on the ANTDA4161. Be sure to use 50 Ohm cable.
4 Point and shoot the antennas directly at the transmitter source. (see figure 2)
5 Once the wireless system is in the performance mode, some
experimentation may be required to find the best position.
