IN2
Phantom power on: S9 & S12 closed. Phantom power off (Default): S9 & S12 open.
Microphone sensitivity: S4 & S21 open. Line sensitivity (Default): S4 & S21 closed.
IN3
Phantom power on: S14 & S15 closed. Phantom power off (Default): S14 & S15 open.
Microphone sensitivity: S13 & S22 open. Line sensitivity (Default): S13 & S22 closed.

AGC on (Default): S18 closed. AGC off: S18 open.
Priority
Closing of the following jumpers is used to determine which inputs are going to muffl e the other inputs: S11 (IN1,
Default), S10 (IN2) & S8 (IN3).
Closing of the following jumpers is used to determine which inputs can be muffl ed by other inputs: S5 (IN1), S6
(IN2) & S7 (IN3, Default).
If jumper S5 (IN1), S6 (IN2) or S7 (IN3) is left open the input cannot be muffl ed regardless of the setting of S11,
S10 & S8.
ATTENTION!
Jumpers S16, S17 & S19 shall NOT be changed!

General planning and installation procedures.
1. PREPARATIONS
a) If the loop cable is already planned, install according to the drawings. Then read clause 2.
b) if the loop cable is already planned and installed, read clause 2.
c) If the loop cable is to be planned and installed ”in situ”, please read the following hints.
Hints for planning the loop cable
Hints for planning the loop cable
● Use a 2x2.5mm² twin loop wire, this gives a high fl exibility for the installer. If other loop wires are used, the amplifi er’s
effi ciency may be affected. Recommended minimum loop wire area is described in the table on page 3.
● If the space for the loop cable is limited, a fl at copper foil can be used as an alternative.
● The fi eld strength can be reduced due to reinforcement ironing and such like. If so, the fi eld strength can be doubled
(appr. 6dB) if 2 amplifi ers are used, one for each separate wire of the twin wire, or use a more powerful amplifi er as an
alternative. Do not place input cables close to / in parallel with the loop wire.
● Do not place the loop wire close to reinforcement iron and such like.
● If the smallest distance in a loop exceeds 10 meters, please consider another loop confi guration, like the “eight”-loop.
● Please be aware of the overspill effect. If the overspill is not acceptable, plan the system for UniVox Super Loop System
with minimized overspill. Log on to www.edin.se for more information.
● Beware of the background noises created by other electrical equipment when planning the loop system.
● Proceed to clause 2.
2. INSTALLATION
Mount the
am
plifi er
plifi er
in a 19"-rack.
IMPORTANT!
The amplifi er must have free access to
normal room temperature. If the amplifi er
is to be mounted on a wall, the 6 rubber
feet attached shall be mounted. The
amplifi er can be mounted horizontally.
Connect the loop cable
Connect the loop cable
Connect the loop cable to terminal
F
on the rear panel. Please look at page 4 for 1- or 2-turn loop connections.
Connect signal source/s
Connect signal source/s
to the inputs ”IN1-3”,
K, L
och
M
on the rear panel. See page 4 for balanced/unbalanced connections. The inputs ”IN1-3” can
be set to different sensitivities according to table. If you need to set IN1-3 otherwise than default, remove the cover and set the
switches S1-20 according to table at page 4.
IMPORTANT!
Disconnect the mains power before removing the cover.
Default settings
Default settings
IN1
= Microphone level, at input signal IN1 overrides IN3.
= Microphone level, at input signal IN1 overrides IN3.
IN2
= Line level, no priority function.
= Line level, no priority function.
IN3
= Line level, IN3 is overrided if input signal is present at IN1.
= Line level, IN3 is overrided if input signal is present at IN1.
Input-AGC
Input-AGC
The AGC-function for inputs IN1-3 can be disabled by setting the switch S18 according to table on page 4.
Connect Line Outputs
Connect Line Outputs
UniVox PLS-700 has 2 line outputs;
I
= ”LINE OUT” 0dBm without the input AGC activated (linear), and
J
”SLS” 0dBm with the
AGC-function activated.
Connect mains power
Connect mains power
to the inlet
E
. The LED
D
on the front panel starts lighting. UniVox PLS-700 has an automatic resettable built-in mains fuse. If
it’s triggered by any reason, please remove the mains power and let the amplifi er cool off. Investigate the possible fault reason
before reconnecting the mains power.
3. FUNCTION CHECK (basic start up check)
Adjust the input levels
Adjust the input levels
one by one letting the LED
A1-3
on the front panel emitting at the peaks of the program signal source (AGC knee).
Increase
the Loop Current trimmer
G
until the fi rst LED
B
on the front panel lits up. Use the loop monitor output
C
for direct listening to
the output current (magnetic fi eld). If necessary, adjust TREBLE with the potentiometer
H
.

4. CERTIFICATION – IMPORTANT!
Adjust the amplifi er
Adjust the amplifi er
following ”The UniVox Way” for certifi cation according to IEC-60118-4:2006 using a fi eld strength meter, like the UniVox FSM.
UniVox FSM follows the standard of Sound Meter with correct integration time and true RMS measurement.
5. INFORM PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LOOP SYSTEM
how to use the system. Recommend a listening device for a daily basic check of the loop system. UniVox Listener is a high
quality listening device with built-in level check.
