>Frequency and Power Adjustments on the FMX5000D Series Transmitter<

Basically there are three push buttons available for the menu system; (UP, DOWN and MENU). By pushing (UP or DOWN) you get a shift of Frequency in Corresponding Direction. Hold any of these keys for a few seconds and the jumps will increase to 500 KHz. The new frequency is saved automatically. Changing Frequency Simply Press the UP or DOWN Button to Change Frequency. Depending on PLL STEP setting your frequency will go UP or DOWN in 5/10/25/50/100/200KHz steps. If you keep pressing a key for a while the PLL STEP switches to fast tuning mode and jumps in 500 KHz steps. Note: Frequency changes also when you select a view type from the menu, which does not show frequency, such as UPTIME. <Changing RF POWER level> This setting allows you to set output power / range your transmitter will transmit. Momentarily Push the (MENU Button) Select desired power by pressing the UP or DOWN keys. Selected power is displayed on the LCD display as a line of bars” when power is set to your desired level (Momentarily Press the MENU button again) to exit the menu system and return to normal operation. The higher the number of BARS on the LCD display the higher the RF output power the more range / distance you can cover. Note: The RF Power has been factory preset to 1-Watt and should not need adjustment.

Peak audio levels are achieved via the front panel Proj Audio Controls. ( Always set Projector Audio Levels on loud audio)

(1) Projector Audio Adjustments can be easily made by inserting the supplied tuning tool into the Left or Right 15 turn audio potentiometers located in the front panel-

(2) Adjust the Right audio potentiometer until the Right Red LED limiter starts to flash on the front panel.

labeled PROJ AUDIO.

Projector Audio Adjustments if needed.

(3) Adjust the Left audio potentiometer until the Left Red LED limiter starts to flash on thefront panel.

(4) Visually check to see if both the Right & Left Red limiter LED’s are flashing at the samerate. If so no further adjustments are needed.

Note: The audio levels have been preset at the factory for line level audio.

(5) If not adjust one or both of the audio controls as needed until both limiter LED’s areflashing at the same rate. This completes your audio level setup.(It’s Show Time)
