 Putting the SR 2020 D into operation

Putting the SR 2020 D into operation

Preparing the transmitter for use

You can set up the SR 2020 D transmitter on an even surface or
mount it into a 19“ rack.
Note:
Do not fit the rubber feet when rack mounting the trans-
mitter.

Setting up the transmitter on an even surface

To ensure that the transmitter cannot slip on the surface on
which it is placed, four self-adhesive soft rubber feet are
supplied.

CAUTION! Risk of staining of furniture surfaces!

Some furniture surfaces have been treated with
varnish, polish or synthetics which might cause
stains when they come into contact with other
synthetics. Despite a thorough testing of the
synthetics used by us, we cannot rule out the
possibility of staining.
 Do not place the transmitter on delicate
surfaces.

 Ensure that the base of the transmitter is clean and free from
grease before mounting the rubber feet.
 Fix the rubber feet to the base of the transmitter by peeling
of the safety paper and fitting them as shown in the diagram
on the left.
Connecting the antenna  Connect the telescopic antenna to the antenna output at
the rear of the transmitter.
To obtain the best possible radiation power:

Rack-mounting

CAUTION! Risks when rack mounting the transmitter!

When installing the device in a closed or multi-rack
assembly, please consider that, during operation,
the ambient temperature, the mechanical loading
and the electrical potentials will be different from
those of devices which are not mounted into a rack:
 The ambient temperature within the rack must
not exceed the temperature limit specified in
the specifications.
 When installing the device in a rack, take good
care not to affect the ventilation required for
safe operation. If necessary, provide additional
ventilation.
 Make sure the mechanical loading of the rack is
even to avoid a hazardous condition such as a
severely unbalanced rack.
 When connecting the device to the mains,
observe the information indicated on the type
plate. Avoid circuit overloading. If necessary,
provide overcurrent protection.
 When installing the device in a closed or multi-
rack assembly, please note that intrinsically
harmless leakage currents of the individual
mains units may accumulate, thereby
exceeding the allowable limit value. As a
remedy, ground the rack via an additional
ground connection.

Mounting the antennas For the best possible radiation power, you should align the
to the front or rear antennas vertically. If this is not possible, use one of the optional
of the rack antenna mounts (see “Accessories and spare parts” on
page 25):
You mount... Antenna mount
