Page 2 of 6 S6000 Beltpack Instructions V1.0
Introduction:
Thank you for purchasing your Trantec S6000 Beltpack.
If you require additional copies of these instructions, they can be obtained from our web site,
http://www.trantec.co.uk, along with other information about the Trantec range.
•Background Information:
The S6000 Beltpack is a microprocessor controlled UHF transmitter, which can operate on up to 64 different
channels. The exact selection of channels available will depend on how your system has been configured. The ability
to change operating channel will be immediately useful when configuring for a multi-user site or where the presence
of other radio microphone users may cause problems when using a fixed channel system.
•General Radio Microphone Operating Guidelines:
Always try to locate the receiver as close as possible to the transmitter, as this minimises the chance of there being
any drop out. Although this is most unlikely with a diversity system, the greater the transmitting range, the greater the
chance of problems. Always try to ensure a line of sight signal path between the transmitter and receiver - obstacles
such as walls can significantly reduce the radio signal strength. Obviously the transmitter and receiver must be on
the same channel. If you are using more than one system simultaneously, choose a set of intermodulation free
frequencies. Please refer to the channel listings at the end of these instructions as a guide to finding a suitable set of
frequencies. Note that although your system may be capable of operating on channels other than the license exempt
ones, it is illegal to do this in the UK without first obtaining a license. It is wise to avoid placing the receiver near to
computer or mobile telephone equipment, as this can create unwanted radio interference. As emphasised in these
instructions, always operate any radio microphone system with its antennas fully extended. Always test a radio
microphone system in the location where it is to be used by doing a ‘walk test’. This is where the system is tested as
the transmitter is walked around the area in which it is to be used. This will normally show up any problem areas,
allowing you to try a new receiver location. By adjusting the location of the receiver, or even just the alignment of its
antennas, it should be possible to obtain trouble free operation over the desired area, provided that it is not too large
to exceed the transmitter’s range, which is typically around 100m.
•Guarantee:
All Trantec products are guaranteed for a period of one year from date of purchase against defects in materials and
workmanship. In the event of a claim under guarantee the system should be returned to your dealer in its original
packaging and with proof of purchase. Defects caused by modification, misuse or accident are not covered by the
guarantee.
Due to our continual policy of research and development we reserve the right to alter specifications without prior
notice.
