Installing the EM 300-500 G4

Installing the EM 300-500 G4 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. See 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.

33

Installing the EM 300-500 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.

34

Installing the EM 300-500 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. See Installing the ASA 214.

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.

Performing multi-channel frequency setup

As an alternative to the following procedure, multi-channel frequency setup can also be performed using the Sennheiser Wireless Sys- tems Manager (WSM) software. For more information about con-

trolling devices via the Sennheiser Wireless Systems Manager (WSM) software, refer to the instruction manual for the software. You can down- load the software here:

www.sennheiser.com/wsm

To perform the automatic frequency setup for multiple radio links simulta- neously:

Connect all of the receivers to one network using a network switch. See Creating a data network.

Please note that all receivers must be in the same IP address range. The IP addresses can be automatically assigned if there is a DHCP

server in the network. If there is no DHCP server in the network, the IP addresses must be

assigned manually. See Advanced -> IP Address menu item. Assign the IP addresses for all receivers in the 192.168.x.x range (the

link-local range 169.254.x.x is also a possible alternative).

Open the Easy Setup menu item on one of the receivers. This receiver is the master. You can choose any receiver to be the mas- ter.

Perform the frequency scan on the master receiver as described above. From the scan results in the master receiver, select a frequency bank

94

with enough free channels.

After you make your selection, the display panels of the other receivers will display the message Assign New Frequency?. Receivers with non-compatible frequency ranges will display the mes- sage Unassignable Frequency!.

Select an unused frequency for one of the connected receiver on the master receiver.

95

Using the EM 300-500 G4

The frequency selected on the master receiver will also be shown on the display panel of the connected receivers.

Press the jog dial (SET) on the particular receiver to save your selected frequency and synchronize it with the corresponding transmitter at a later point (see Synchronizing devices).

or

Press the SYNC button to synchronize the selected frequency with the transmitter immediately.

Use this procedure to assign an unused frequency to all connected re- ceivers, one after another.

For the last step, assign a frequency to the master receiver. This completes the multi-channel frequency setup.
