Connecting to Power Supply
Attention
Incorrect handling of the AC power adapter may result in hazardous situations
This device is delivered with an AC power adapter. Incorrect handling of the AC power adapter may
result in hazardous situations.
●Connect the receiver to the socket-outlet with the delivered AC power adapter. Use only the AC
power adapter delivered with the device.
●Make sure that the socket-outlet is easily accessible.
●Disconnect the AC power adapter from the socket-outlet when the device is not in use.
Power Linking of Multiple Devices
This receiver supports power linking. Power can be relayed to another receiver via the 12–15 V DC power
connector OUT (13).
Power linking of multiple devices must be carried out only by instructed or skilled persons.
To prevent overload of the electrical circuit, when power linking multiple devices:
Use cables with sufficient current-carrying capacity. The power adapter supplied with the device is
not suitable for power linking of multiple devices.
Make sure that the total current draw of the device and all connected devices does not exceed the
rated capacity of the power adapter, power cables and the circuit breaker.
Do not link more devices on one power link than the maximum recommended number.

Setup Examples
It is possible to connect multiple receivers and transmitters and to install accessories. See 3.5. Optional
Accessories on page 11 for more information.
4 x EDGE EHS-1
In a setup with 4 receivers, you can use a single antenna distributor and 1 set of
unidirectional/omnidirectional antennas.
The antennas receive the signal from the transmitter(s) and send it to the antenna distributor. The
antenna distributor sends the signal to each connected receiver.
The unidirectional/omnidirectional antennas and the antenna distributor are not supplied with the
device. See 3.5. Optional Accessories on page 11.

18
EDGE EHS-1
Product code: D1475B
8 x EDGE EHS-1
In a setup with 8 receivers, you can use 2 antenna distributors and 1 set of unidirectional/omnidirectional
antennas.
The antennas receive the signal from the transmitter(s) and send it to the antenna distributor. The
antenna distributor sends the signal to the other connected antenna distributor. Both antenna distributors
send the signal to each connected receiver.
The unidirectional/omnidirectional antennas and the antenna distributor are not supplied with the
device. See 3.5. Optional Accessories on page 11.
