23
Installing the EM 100 G4
Creating a data network
You can cascade multiple EM 100 G4s to a multi-channel system using the two
DATA
RJ-10 interfaces (up to 12 receivers). You can perform a frequen cy setup for the entire multi-channel system via this data network using the
Easy Setup
function.
The setup only works when all of the receivers have the same frequency range.
►
▷
Connect the receivers to create a multi-channel system using the sup plied RJ-10 cables as shown in the diagram. Both RJ-10 sockets are interchangeable. There is no set order for ca bling.
You can find more information about the
Easy Setup
function under
24

Installing the EM 100 G4 in a rack
Installing the EM 100 G4 CAUTION
Rack mounting poses risks
When installing the device in a closed or multi-rack assembly, please con sider that, during operation, the ambient temperature, the mechanical loading and the electrical potentials will be different from those of devices which are not mounted into a rack.
▷
Make sure that the ambient temperature within the rack does not ex ceed the permissible temperature limit specified in the specifications.
▷
Ensure sufficient ventilation; if necessary, provide additional ventila tion.
▷
Make sure that the mechanical loading of the rack is even.
▷
When connecting to the power supply system, observe the information indicated on the type plate. Avoid circuit overloading. If necessary, pro vide overcurrent protection.
▷
When rack mounting, please note that intrinsically harmless leakage currents of the individual power supply units may accumulate, thereby exceeding the allowable limit value. As a remedy, ground the rack via an additional ground connection.
28
Installing the EM 100 G4 ► Mounting a single receiver in a rack To mount the receiver in a rack, you will need the GA 3 rack mounting kit (optional accessory).
To fasten the mounting angle of the GA 3 rack mounting kit:

Unscrew and remove the two recessed head screws (M4x8) on each side of the receiver.
Secure both of the the mounting angles to the sides of the receiver us ing the previously removed recessed head screws.
►
▷ ▷
Secure the blanking plate to one of the mounting angles using two re cessed head screws (M6x10).
Attach the AM 2 antenna front mounting set (optional accessory) and mount the rod antennas on the blanking plate (right diagram).
▷ ▷ ▷
Slide the receiver with the mounted blanking plate into the 19" rack.
Secure the mounting angle and the blanking plate to the 19" rack.
Align the mounted antennas in a V-shape.
29
Installing the EM 100 G4 Mounting two receivers side by side in a rack When you mount two receivers side by side, it is only possible to front mount antennas when you use the ASA 214 antenna splitter in com bination with the AM 2 front mounting kit and an additional GA 3 rack mounting kit, ► To mount the receiver using the GA 3 rack mounting kit (optional accesso ry):
▷ ▷ ▷
Place both receivers upside down and side by side on an even surface.
Secure the jointing plate to the transmitters using the six recessed head screws (M3x6).
Secure the mounting angle.

Installing the ASA 214 in a rack
CAUTION
Rack mounting poses risks
When installing the device in a closed or multi-rack assembly, please con sider that, during operation, the ambient temperature, the mechanical loading and the electrical potentials will be different from those of devices which are not mounted into a rack.
▷
Make sure that the ambient temperature within the rack does not ex ceed the permissible temperature limit specified in the specifications.
▷
Ensure sufficient ventilation; if necessary, provide additional ventila tion.
▷
Make sure that the mechanical loading of the rack is even.
▷
When connecting to the power supply system, observe the information indicated on the type plate. Avoid circuit overloading. If necessary, pro vide overcurrent protection.
▷
When rack mounting, please note that intrinsically harmless leakage currents of the individual power supply units may accumulate, thereby exceeding the allowable limit value. As a remedy, ground the rack via an additional ground connection.
52
Installing the ASA 214 ► Mounting a single antenna splitter in a rack To mount the antenna splitter in a rack, you will need the GA 3 rack mount ing kit (optional accessory).
To fasten the mounting angle of the GA 3 rack mounting kit:
▷ ▷
Unscrew and remove the two recessed head screws (M4x8) on each side of the antenna splitter.
Secure the mounting angles to the sides of the antenna splitter using the previously removed recessed head screws.
►
▷
Secure the blanking plate to one of the mounting angles using two re cessed head screws (M6x10).
53
► Installing the ASA 214 ►
▷
Attach the antennas. You have the following options: • Connect the supplied rod antennas on the rear side of the antenna splitter. In this case, cover the antenna holes with the two covers (left diagram).
• Attach the AM 2 antenna front mounting set (optional accessory) and mount the rod antennas on the blanking plate (right diagram).
▷ ▷ ▷
Slide the antenna splitter with the mounted blanking plate into the 19" rack.
Secure the mounting angle and the blanking plate to the 19" rack.
Align the mounted antennas in a V-shape.
54
Installing the ASA 214 Mounting two antenna splitters side by side in a rack To mount the antenna splitters using the GA 3 rack mounting kit (optional accessory):
▷ ▷
Place both antenna splitters upside down and side by side on an even surface.
Secure the jointing plate to the transmitters using the six recessed head screws (M3x6).
►
▷
Secure the mounting angle.

Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning and maintenance
Note the following information when cleaning and maintaining evolution wireless G4 series products.
CAUTION
Liquids can damage the products’ electronics.
Liquids entering the product housing can cause a short-circuit and damage the electronics.
▷
Keep all liquids away from the products.
▷
Do not use any solvents or cleansing agents.
▷ ▷
Disconnect the products from the power supply system and remove re chargeable batteries and batteries before you begin cleaning.
Clean all products only with a soft, dry cloth.
▷
Note the special cleaning instructions below for the following products.
Cleaning the sound inlet basket of the microphone module
▷ ▷
Unscrew the top sound inlet basket from the microphone module by turning it counterclockwise.
Remove the foam insert.
You can clean the sound inlet basket in two ways:
▷
Use a slightly damp cloth to clean the top sound inlet basket from the inside and outside.
▷ ▷ ▷ ▷
Use a brush and rinse with clean water.
If necessary, clean the foam insert with a mild detergent or replace the foam insert.
Dry the top sound inlet basket and foam insert.
Reinsert the foam insert.
142
Cleaning and maintenance
▷
Screw the sound inlet basket back onto the microphone module.
From time to time, you should also clean the microphone module contacts:
▷
Wipe the contacts of the microphone module with a soft, dry cloth.
