Univox PLS-700 User manual
Maximum area coverage in free field conditions
• With 4 parallel multi-loops 1800 m²

Installation
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
• Use a 2 x 2.5 mm² twin loop wire, this gives a high exibility for the installer. If other loop wires are used, the
loop driver’s efciency 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 at copper foil (Part No 861023 or Part No 861025) can be used as
an alternative.
• The eld strength can be reduced due to reinforcement ironing and such like. If so, the eld strength can be
doubled (appr. 6 dB) if 2 loop driver’s are used, one for each separate wire of the twin wire, or use a more
powerful loop driver 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 conguration, 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.univox.eu 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 loop driver
in a 19"-rack.
Important!
The loop driver must have free
access to normal room temperature.
In a 19" rack, a minimum clearance
of 1U (44 mm) above and below the
unit must be left for ventilation.
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.
Sensitivity Impedance Priority
IN1 / Mic 0.5 mV-100 mV 7.8 kOhm IN1 > IN3 Default setting
IN1 / Line 25 mV-4 V -”-
IN2 / Mic 0.5 mV-100 mV -”-
IN2 / Line 25 mV-4 V -”- Default setting
IN3 / Mic 0.5 mV-100 mV -”-
IN3 / Line 25 mV-4 V -”- IN3 < IN1 Default setting
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.
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
Univox PLS-700 has 2 line outputs; I = ”LINE OUT” 0dBm without the input AGC activated (linear), and J ”SLS”
0 dBm with the AGC-function activated.
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 loop driver cool off.
Investigate the possible fault reason before reconnecting the mains power.
3. Function check (basic start up check)
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 rst LED B on the front panel lits up. Use the loop monitor output C for
direct listening to the output current (magnetic eld). If necessary, adjust TREBLE with the potentiometer H.
4. Certification – Important!
Adjust the loop driver
following ”The Univox Way” for certication according to IEC-60118-4 using a eld strength meter, like the
Univox FSM 2.0. 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.

Priority
Closing of the following jumpers is used to determine which inputs are going to mufe the other inputs: S11 (IN1,
Default), S10 (IN2) & S8 (IN3).
Closing of the following jumpers is used to determine which inputs can be mufed 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 mufed regardless of the setting of S11,
S10 & S8.
Attention!
Jumpers S16, S17 & S19 shall NOT be changed!
