ONWAVE USER GUIDE 1) ANTENNA MOUNTING 1A) Standard Mounting the Whip Antenna, AT0777 • Attach the antenna by screwing antenna onto the back of the unit (connector has left- handed thread). 1B) Remote Mounting the Whip Antenna. (Requires the Antenna Ground Plane, AT0775 or AT0776) • Installing the transmitter in a metal sound room or metal racks may confine the signal. Remote installing the antenna outside of the sound room provides optimum coverage (i.e., near the seats), while keeping your transmitter convenient to access. • Remote mounting the antenna eliminates potential interference between the RF signal and other sensitive electronic devices in the audio rack. 1) Attach the antenna to the ground plane jack that’s closest to the middle of the ground plane. 2) U.S. FM systems are required by the FCC to feature non-standard connectors (unique to Phonic Ear) on the transmitter. Remote mounting the antenna requires the Phonic Ear ground plane kit that includes the non-standard cable (AT0776). Contractors using their own cable (RG58/U 50-ohm coaxial cables) to make custom cable lengths can order the ground plane with the non-standard connector kit (AT0775). 3) Attach the cable to the other jack on the ground plane. 4) Plug the free end of the cable into the RF OUT jack on the back of the transmitter, and secure the cable away from foot traffic. 5) Choose a location where the antenna will “see” the entire seating arrangement and test the system to make sure there aren’t any dead spots in the listening environment before securing the ground plane permanently. 6) Secure the ground plane by attaching screws through the two holes provided and mount it on a wall or a ceiling (we recommend a vertical orientation). The ground plane can also be placed on a tabletop. 1D) Large Area Antenna Mounting • Required coverage radius is greater than 60m/200 ft. • Large area coverage radius of 300m/1000 ft. 1) For shipping purposes it's necessary to collapse the antenna, you will need to extend the antenna to its tuned height for best results. To extend it, loosen the two worm clamps and pull the large center section out to the black ring marked around the tube. Then tighten the lower worm clamp and extend the smaller element to the black ring. Tighten the top clamp. 2) The large area antenna comes with a mounting hole and set screw so you can mount it on a tripod (such as Radio Shack’s 1m/3ft tripod mount; Part #15-516) with a mast (such as Radio Shack’s 1.5m/5 ft mast; Part #15-842). Ground your mounting pole, tripod, or other holder to a metal surface to protect against lightning strikes. You may also hang the antenna from a railing or metal superstructure (such as in a stadium). 3) The antenna is an electrical conductor. Contact with power lines can result in death or serious injury. Do not install the antenna, supporting mast, or tower where there is any possibility of contact with a high-voltage arc from power cables or service drops. Outdoor antennas should be grounded against lightning strikes. Consult the National Electrical Code for further details. 4) Be careful not to deform or move the tuning ring around the black insulator at the antenna’s base, doing so will affect the antenna’s tuning as well as its efficiency. 5) Do not place the antenna where it would be parallel to or within six feet of any metal structure; situating the antenna in such a way will de-tune it. It’s fine, however, to place the antenna perpendicular to and beneath metal. 6) As with the standard antenna, experiment with different locations to achieve the best possible antenna placement. Make sure you place it in a location where it will “see” the entire seating arrangement. We recommend vertical orientation, upside down at maximum height. 7) US FM systems are required by the FCC to feature non-standard connectors (unique to Phonic Ear) on the transmitter. The Large Area Antenna Kit includes a non standard connector kit for use with RG-58/U 50 Ohm Coaxial Cable. There are two antenna kits to choose from. The AT0773 Low Band Antenna is used for Channels A-E (WB) or 1 –20 (NB). The AT0774 High Band Antenna is used for channels F-J (WB) or 21 –40 (NB). 8) Keep the cable length as short as possible, the maximum recommended RG58/U cable length is 30m/100 ft. If you find that your installation requires longer cable, contact our Applications Engineer Bob Mendoza at (800) 227-0735, extension 276 before purchasing a transmitter — he can help specially modify a transmitter to meet your needs. 9) Attach one end of the cable to the connector found on the large area antenna. 10) Attach the other end of the cable to the ANTENNA jack on the back of the PE560T transmitter, and secure it away from foot traffic, * Use only those antennas supplied or recommended by Phonic Ear. For help selecting an appropriate antenna, consult the ON WAVE 560T specification sheet, or call Customer Service at 800-227-0735, then press 5 (800-263-8700 in Canada 2) TRANSMITTER INSTALLATION 2A) Use the AT0780 or the AT0781 rack mount kit to install the transmitter in the audio rack or place close by the audio system. 2B) Plug the AT0757 transformer into the power jack on back of the transmitter, plug in the wall outlet, and press the power key on the front panel to turn on the unit. 2C) Connect one end of an XLR or 1/4" cable to the universal mic/line input and the opposite end to the sound system mixer. For connection to a stand-alone mic (compatible with dynamic or condenser mics, system has phantom power,12V) use an XLR cable. Select the desired input by pressing the mic/line key located on the front panel. The selection will appear on the display. To connect to speaker levels of 10 Volts RMS use the terminal block input (sum inputs) and select the line level setting on the transmitter. Using a series resistor one can accommodate higher input levels; an additional 47K Ohm resistor can be used for an input level of 20 Volts RMS and 100K Ohm resistor for 30 Volts RMS…

The transmitter uses either a short flexible plastic covered broadband antenna, or a 6 foot Large Area tuned antenna (two differently tuned antennas are required to cover the frequency range). The short antenna was tested attached to the rear RF connector of the unit, and also tested connected with a coax cable to a small groundplane placed remotely from the transmitter. The coaxial antenna connections are made to the transmitter unit and to the antennas with a unique coupling, insuring that no other antenna than that furnished by Phonic Ear inc. will be used. Specifically, the connector used is a left hand thread TNC coaxial connector, denoted LH-TNC. The transmitter uses a standard audio input from a microphone, as used for the testing detailed in this report, or another audio source. See the User Instructions for a description of the available controls on the EUT. The product is powered by a wall-mount transformer. The internal construction is a single multi layer PC board, a front panel keyboard PC board, and a display module. The product is housed in a metal box. 1.2Related Submittal or Grant There are no related submittals or grants.
