Nady Systems ENCOREDUETHTBD User Manual

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 flicker 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.
