SRb5P and SRb Dual Receivers
LECTROSONICS, INC. 12
Mounting and Orientation
Installation into the slot on a video camera places the
antennas in an optimal vertical position away from the
camera body.
When used with non-slot cameras, as depicted in the
diagram below, one or two receivers can be positioned
in a variety of locations around the camera body using
the Velcro and SRSLEEVE mounting options.
Mounting the receiver horizontally on the side of a camera
can seriously reduce the operating range of the wireless
system.
For maximum operating range, the antennas should be
vertical and above the camera body. While it may be
convenient, mounting the receiver horizontally on the
side of the camera can seriously reduce the operating
range of the wireless system.
The receiver provides stand-
alone operation with the battery
sled adapter and mounting
sleeve. It can be mounted in
any position with Velcro, or in
horizontal and vertical positions
using the mounting foot.
SRSLEEVE Mount
An optional mounting sleeve is available to simplify
mounting the receiver on camera body, battery brack-
ets and other locations. The sleeve is furnished with a
hook/loop Velcro swatch for mounting on flat surfaces.
SRHARDWARE Cold Shoe Adapter
This hardware and adapter kit allows the SRSLEEVE to
be mounted on a “cold shoe.” A right angle bracket is in-
cluded so the sleeve can be mounted in a horizontal or
vertical position. Vertical mounting is generally preferred
because the antennas will provide a circular, horizontal
pattern. For indoor applications where multipath reflec-
tions are prevalent, the best antenna orientation can be
discovered by simple walk test while observing the RF
level indicators on the receiver LCD.
RATPAC Connector
The 5-pin RATPAC right angle connector is designed for
the front panel output jack. The 3-pin version is de-
signed for the rear panel outputs on the receiver.
The connector can be
rotated during assembly
to exit the cable in the
desired direction. See
instructions included
with the RATPAC kit.
