Lock
Programmable locks restrict the ability to change receiver settings,
reducing the possibility of unauthorized access or unintended
changes during performances.
Setting Description
NO.LOC Receiver functions and frequency settings can
be edited from the receiver’s front panel or from
an associated computer via an Ethernet connection
to a linked AEW-R5200.
ALL.LOC Receiver functions and frequency settings cannot
be edited from the front panel or from a computer
via an Ethernet connection to a linked AEW-R5200.
ALL.LOC must be changed via the receiver’s Menu
before other settings can be changed.
PC.LOC Receiver functions and frequency settings can be
edited from the receiver’s front panel, but they
cannot be edited from an associated computer (via
an Ethernet connection to a linked AEW-R5200).
RX.LOC Receiver functions and frequency settings can be
edited from an associated computer (via an Ethernet
connection to a linked AEW-R5200), but they cannot
be edited from the receiver’s front panel.
When any lock condition is applied to a receiver (ALL., RX. or PC.),
the LCD window displays a small “RX LOCK” just to the right of
the frequency. If an action is attempted that currently is locked out,
the LCD will briefly display “LOCKED”, then return to its previously
displayed contents.
Note: Locks remain in place even when receiver power is turned off.
However, locks may be removed by using the Menu.
Antenna Power
This function turns on the 12V AC antenna power for use with
powered antennas or accessories.
Squelch
The Artist Elite Series employs a unique digital Tone Lock™
squelch system that provides enhanced rejection of interference. In
addition to providing highly effective control of unwanted noise, the
Tone Lock signal from the transmitter also conveys data with the
transmitter’s name (Tx Name), battery condition, mute status and
lock status back to the receiver for display. In addition to displaying
in the receiver’s LCD window, the data are also displayed on an
Ethernet-connected computer.
The squelch level is adjustable in fifteen 2 dB steps, providing a 30
dB range. Increasing the squelch level – also called “tightening the
squelch” – can cause a reduction in usable range of the wireless
transmitter, so use the lowest value that reliably mutes the unwanted
RF signals. (If interference is a problem, first consider trying a
different frequency, either manually or by scanning.)
Meter Hold
When activated (“METER HOLD”), this function permits the bar
meters in the LCD window to capture and display the highest-level
“AF” audio modulation (a solid bar) and the lowest-level “RF” signal
(a flashing bar) received from the transmitter. This is particularly
useful when setting up the system initially, performing a sound-
check, or diagnosing operating problems. The default setting is Off
(“METER NORMAL”).
When the Meter Hold is On, it is possible to reset it – to obtain a
new set of RF and AF readings – without turning it off-and-on using
the Menu/Edit functions. Simply press the transmitter’s Power/
Mute button once (to mute the transmitter) and wait until the
receiver’s Alert light comes on, indicating the Mute condition. Then
press the transmitter’s Power/Mute button once again, to un-mute
the transmitter. After the Alert light goes out, a new set of min/
max RF/AF readings will be indicated on the bar meters. (Note that,
depending upon the digital updating-and-confirming sequence of the
Mute condition data from the transmitter, it can take from a few to
many seconds for the Alert light condition to change. The Meter Hold
readings are not reset until the Alert light has turned on, then off.)
Note: Any or all of these receiver functions may be stored to, or
loaded from, one of the five user presets.
Using "PRESET" Store and Recall
There are two aspects to Preset operation: Storing a particular
collection of settings for future use (“STORE”), and recalling a
stored collection of settings (“LOAD”). All Artist Elite receivers and
transmitters permit the storing and recalling of up to five user-defined
Preset combinations—with customized names, if desired—plus the
recalling of the factory-defined Default (“DEF”) settings.
While the standard Preset names (“PRSET1” – “PRSET5”) can be
used, customized receiver and transmitter identification can simplify
system operation, especially in larger systems. For example, a guitar
channel’s Rx Name could be “GUITAR”, while the transmitters for
the performer’s two different guitars could be named “GTR-1” and
“GTR-2”.
To store Preset configurations:
1. Touch the Mode/Set button once to move to Menu mode.
2. Touch the Up arrow twice to move to “PRESET” in the LCD
window. (The second line of LCD will show currently
loaded presets.)
3. Touch the Mode/Set button once. “LOAD” (or “STORE”)
appears in the LCD.
4. Touch the Up or Down arrow once, if needed, to change the
selection to “STORE.”
5. Hold the Mode/Set button until “PRSET1” (or the name of the
currently loaded Preset) appears on the second line of the LCD.
6. If desired, touch the Up or Down arrow to cycle through the
available choices: “PRSET1” through “PRSET5” (or their
previously changed names).
7. Accept or enter a name for the Preset:
a. To accept the standard name “PRSET1“ – “PRSET5” (or
previously stored name) for a new Preset configuration and to
update (overwrite) any previously stored configuration choices:
a1. At the desired choice, hold Mode/Set until the first character
blinks, giving an opportunity to change the name.
a2. To accept the standard (or existing) name, hold the Mode/
Set button again until “STORED” appears in the window.
This stores the standard or existing Preset name with the
associated function choices and returns the unit to normal
operation. The name of the stored preset will appear in the
top line of the display.
