INSTALLING THE INFRARED WIRELESS RECEIVER

Installation Precautions
Because the infrared wireless microphone and receiver have their own directivity for infrared transmission and reception, take care that they are installed and operated under stable communication conditions.

  • Number of infrared wireless receivers
    • Use up to two receivers per system.
  • Installation Position
    • The infrared beam can be blocked by a physical object leading to loss of reception. To avoid this, install multiple infrared wireless receivers to allow for redundant receivers.
    • Install multiple infrared wireless receivers to allow constant communications between the infrared microphone and at least one infrared wireless receiver in any specific situation. When installing the infrared wireless receivers, take care that they can sufficiently cover the communications area from different angles. If the infrared wireless microphone is used in the communications area where only one infrared wireless receiver is installed, communications may be interrupted when the infrared beam is blocked by a human body or other objects.

Note

  • In this figure, the IR-842R receives a signal from the infrared wireless microphone because there is no obstruction between the microphone transmitter and the receiver.

  • However, communication to the MAIN UNIT or SUB UNIT could be interrupted if the user’s body blocks the beam.

  • In this figure, the IR-842R receives a signal from the infrared wireless microphone because there is no obstruction between the microphone transmitter and the receiver.

  • However, communication to the MAIN UNIT or SUB UNIT could be interrupted if the user’s body blocks the beam.

    • Install the infrared wireless receivers above user height wherever possible.
    • Install the infrared wireless receivers at a height that protects them from damage that could result from being hit by an object.
  • Distance between the infrared wireless microphone and receiver
    Malfunctions or noise could result from the infrared wireless microphone and receiver being too close to each other. Keep the infrared wireless microphone at least 2 m (6.56 ft) away from the receiver.

  • Radio Noise
    Do not install the infrared wireless receiver and cables close to devices that can generate radio noise, such as Inverter-powered equipment (fluorescent lights, air-conditioners, etc.), digital equipment, PCs and other computer equipment.

  • Sunlight and Fluorescent Lighting
    System malfunctions or noise could result from installing the infrared wireless receiver in locations exposed to sunlight, fluorescent lighting or other infrared-generating sources. When installing the receiver, make the following arrangements so that it is not exposed to infrared sources:

[Avoid Sunlight]

  • To prevent equipment from being directly exposed to sunlight, block the sunlight using curtains or window shades.
  • When mounting the receiver to a ceiling, keep it at least 2 m (6.56 ft) away from the window.

[Install Away From Fluorescent Lighting]
When installing the receiver, keep it at least 50 cm (1.64 ft) away from the fluorescent lighting.

[Avoid installing close to other infrared sources shown below]

  • Lighting device
  • Liquid crystal projectors, overhead projectors and incandescent lights
  • Plasma displays
  • Remote control units, infrared LAN and other infrared devices
  • Dimmers

INSTALLING THE MAIN UNIT OR SUB-UNIT

Wall Mounting

  • Step 1. Loosen the 2 screws used to fix the wall mounting bracket for the main unit or sub-unit.

  • Step 2. Adjust the size and angle of the wall mounting bracket and retighten it with screws.
    Note
    If the foot pads hinder the angle adjustment of the wall mounting bracket, you can remove the foot pads first.

  • Step 3. Secure the 2 mounting screws to the wall with the head of the mounting screws exposed to the wall by 4-6mm.
    Note
    Since no mounting screws are supplied with the MAIN UNIT or SUB UNIT, separately prepare screws that are appropriate for the construction of the wall.
    Install the speaker only in a location that can structurally support the weight of the speaker and the mounting bracket. Doing otherwise may result in the speaker falling and causing personal injury and/or property damage.

  • Step 4. Hook the MAIN UNIT or SUB UNIT with the wall mounting bracket installed to the wall mounting screws.
    Note
    Ensure that the unit has no loose joints after installation to prevent accidents that could result in personal injury.

  • Step 5. Finally, secure the safety rope of the MAIN UNIT or SUB UNIT to the wall with a mounting screw.
    Note
    Since no mounting screws are supplied with the MAIN UNIT or SUB UNIT, separately prepare screws that are appropriate for the construction of the wall.

Mounting Main Unit or Sub Unit on the Speaker Stand

Note

  • Avoid installing or mounting the unit in unstable locations, such as on a rickety table or a slanted surface. Doing so may result in the unit falling and causing personal injury and/or property damage.
  • Avoid placing the unit in a doorway or other high-traffic area as people may trip on the equipment and cords, or be injured by falling objects.

Installation with IR-842HY speaker stand adapter

  1. Step 1. Loosen the 2 screws on the bottom of the MAIN UNIT or SUB UNIT that are used to fix the speaker bracket adapter.
  2. Step 2. Lock the speaker bracket adapter with the screws.
  3. Step 3. Install the speaker stand adapter onto the speaker stand and tighten the bracket fixing screw.

Installation with ST-34B speaker stand

  • Step 1. Loosen the 2 screws on the bottom of the MAIN UNIT or SUB UNIT that are used to fix the speaker bracket adapter.

  • Step 2. Lock the speaker bracket adapter with the
    screws.

  • Step 3. Loosen the knob B, and spread the legs pulling up the outer pipe until the stays extend horizontally.
    Then, retighten the knob B.

  • Step 4. Mount the speaker (with the bracket mounted) onto the stand.
    Loosen the bracket fixing screw enough for the bracket to fit onto the inner pipe.

  • Step 5. Determine the speaker direction, and tighten the bracket fixing screw.
    The speaker’s horizontal angle is adjustable in 90° steps.

  • Step 6. Adjust the stand height.
    Loosen the knob A. Extend the inner pipe to the desired position while pulling the safety pin.
    The inner pipe has stopper holes to catch the safety pin at about 15 cm intervals along the pipe length. Ensure that the safety pin is securely inserted into one of the holes after adjusting the stand height.
    Caution
    Never pull the inner pipe beyond the red mark on the pipe.

  • Step 7. Tighten the knob A.
