FITTHTG INSTRUCTIONS
FOll. AR117 PHANTOM muT TO AR116
- Remove AR116 from the plastic box and unclip batteries, if fitted.
- At the top of AR116, (main battery end) sandwiched between the printed circuit board and the front panel is a red and blue wire terminated in a blue sleeve. With a small sore driver or similar tool, pull out these two wires, remove the blue sleeve, and straighten up so they stand up adjacent to the battery clip.
- Cut the blue sleeve in half and fit one to each of the two wires. Strip back the insulation of both wires by about 4mm and tin with solder.
- Remove the AR117 from Its metal sleeve, and solder the red wire and blue wire from the AR116 to their respective pins on the AR117. These pins are located immediately behind the battery clip and in front of the blue capacitor. See the diagram below. Slide blue sleeve up wire and over a joint.
- Connect the main battery clip onto the AR117 and replace the metal Bleeve.
- To ease the fitting of the whole unit back into the plastic box, the strip of black foam, which normally cushions the battery should be removed.
NOTE : If battery 1 is connected in the standby position, this ll nerve
to power the AR116 In the event of a failure of the phantom powering.
However, it should be remembered that, in this case, the unit will have to be
switched off by removing the jack plug from the input socket, as when” the
phantom power is switched off from the power supply (mixing console or
separate unit) the standby battery will automatically take over and flash, the
warning lamp.

Note: If a battery is connected in the standby position, this will serve to power the AR116 in the event of a failure of the phantom powering. However, it should be remembered that, in this case, the unit will have to be switched off by removing the jack plug from the input socket, as when the phantom power is switched off from the power supply (mixing console or separate unit) the standby battery will automatically take over and flash the warning lamp.
