Nady Systems ENCORE II User Manual - page 5
1. Rackmounting the Receiver
There are 2 options available for rackmounting the Encore II receiver: singly or side-
by-side with another Encore Series receiver.
a. Single mounting: Remove the receiver SIDE MOUNT CLIP (1) from each side of
the receiver (as shown) and slide in the optional ERM-12 RACK EARS (9).
b. Side-by-side double mounting: After removing the SIDE MOUNT CLIPS (1) from
both Encore receivers, join the two receivers with the EJC-2 JOINING CLIP (10)
and attach the ERM-22 RACK EARS (12) as shown.
(Note: Do not mount the
receiver in a rack directly above an amplifier or other source of high heat
– this could degrade the performance of the Encore II. Always ensure ad-
equate airflow and heat dissipation in any rack configuration.)
2. Powering the Receiver
Plug the 12V AC/DC ADAPTER (15) provided into the DC INPUT JACK (11) on the
back of the receiver. Then plug the power supply into an AC outlet.
(Note: Any 12V
DC source with 400mA capability can also be used.) Press the POWER SWITCH
(8) once to turn on the receiver. The POWER ON LED (7) will now light and the
receiver is operational.
3. Antennas
The Encore II receiver is supplied with TELESCOPIC ANTENNAS (16). These should
be extended fully to obtain maximum range. Optimal antenna position is 45 degrees
from the receiver (at 90 degrees from each other). For maximum range, it is always
best to maintain a line of sight (no obstructions) between the receiver antennas and
the transmitter at all times whenever possible.
4. Mute (Squelch) Adjustment
In normal operation, the MUTE CONTROL (2) should be set fully counterclockwise to
the factory preset minimum RF level. However, in areas of high RF activity, the mute
(or squelch, as it is sometimes called) may need to be adjusted to compensate for the
adverse conditions in a particular location. If, with the transmitter off, the receiver’s
A and/or B DIVERSITY LED INDICATORS (3) and/or one or more LEDs of the 5 LED
RF LEVEL DISPLAY (4) flicker or stay on, the squelch control should be turned clock-
wise until the LEDs extinguish. When the squelch is properly adjusted, the
A and/or B LEDs or the RF LEVEL LED displays will only light when the system
transmitter is turned on. Turning the squelch control too far clockwise will reduce
the range, but yield a quieter mute (squelch) function. During operation, especially
at ranges greater than 75 feet, one or the other of the A or B LEDs may extinguish
briefly. This is normal – the unit’s DigiTRU Diversity™ reception ensures that the
received audio will not be interrupted. When both the A/B DIVERSITY LEDs and the
5 LED RF LEVEL display extinguish, the transmitter is out of range for that given loca-
tion, and the user should move closer to the receiver to re-establish the radio link.
