6. Selecting the UH/UB-1K Transmitters Group &
Channel Setting
Both the UH/UB-1K transmitters have to be programmed for the channel and group selected on
the UWS-1K receiver via the IR reception link between the receiver and transmitter during the first
20 seconds after the transmitter is powered up. As soon as the transmitter LEDs light up indicat-
ing Power ON, the Transfer Button (18) on the UWS-1K receiver must be pressed once while the
MAIN MENU is being displayed. The Power LED (9) of the receiver will flash quickly indicating IR
transmission to the transmitters of the Group and Channels selected on the receiver is in progress.
Successful transfer is complete when the Signal Strength indicator on the receiver’s LCD Display
(10) indicates a received signal from the transmitter being programmed. Press Transfer (18) again
to stop when this happens or just let it expire in 20 seconds automatically. (Important note: there is
no other way to program the Group and Channel selected in the UWS-1K receiver into the UH/UB-
1K transmitters so the above procedure must be followed carefully.)

7. Rack-mounting the Receiver
There are two options available for rackmounting the UWS-1K: single or side-by-side with another
UWS-1K receiver.
a. Single mounting: Just attach the optional Rack Ears (1) to each side slot and tighten with
supplied screws (as shown).
b. Side-by-side mounting: Attach the two optional Join Pieces (2) and tighten the four supplied
screws. Then attach the rack ears to each side slot and tighten with supplied screws (as
shown).
(Note: Do not mount the receiver on a rack directly above an amplifier or other source of high heat.
This could degrade the performance of the UWS-1K. Always ensure adequate airflow and heat dis-
sipation in any rack configuration.)
8. Installing Antennas
Install antennas by connecting the two Antennas (3) included with your system to the two RF
Screw-On Connectors (4) located on the back of your UWS-1K receiver. The optimal positions
of the antennas are 45 degrees from the receiver and 90 degree from each other. For maximum
range, it is always best to maintain a line of sight (no obstructions) between the receiver antennas
ant the transmitter at all time whenever possible.
9. Powering the Receiver
To power the receiver, plug the AD-DC adaptor (16.5VDC/0.4A) provided into the DC Input Jack
(5) on the back of the receiver. Then plug the adapter into an AC outlet. (Note: Any 16.5VDC source
with 400mA capacity can also be used.) Connect either the XLR Balanced (6) or 1⁄4” Unbalanced
Output (7) to your mixing board, effect, or amplifier.
To turn ON, press the Power Switch (8) for 2 second. The Power LED (9) will light and the LCD
Display (10) will show the Group (11), Channel (11) assignment, RF Level Meter (12), Diversity
(13), and the audio AF LED (15) displays (when the transmitter is activated).
To turn OFF, press the Power Switch (8) for 3 seconds and release. The receiver will turn off.
