1. Rackmounting the Receiver

TherearetwooptionsavailableforrackmountingtheEncoreDUET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 DUET. Always ensure adequate 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 DUET receiver is supplied with TELESCOPIC ANTENNAS (16), one each

forChannelAandChannelB.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 CONTROLS (2) foreachchannel(A&B)shouldbeset

fully counterclockwise to the factory preset minimum RF level. However, in areas of

highRFactivity,themutes(orsquelches,astheyaresometimescalled)mayneedto

beadjustedtocompensatefortheadverseconditionsinaparticularlocation.If,with

the transmitter off, one or more LEDs of the receiver's 5 LED RF LEVEL DISPLAYS (4) for

thatchanneltransmitterickerorstayon,thesquelchcontrolforthatchannelshould

beturnedclockwiseuntiltheLEDsextinguish.Whenthesquelchisproperlyadjusted,

the RF LEVEL LED displays will only light when that channel transmitter is turned

on. Turning the squelch control too far clockwise will reduce the range, but yield a

quietermute(squelch)function.Whenthe5 LED RF LEVELdisplayextinguishes,the

transmitter for that channel is out of range for that given location, and the user should

move closer to the receiver to re‑establish the radio link.
