SRb5P and SRb Dual Receivers

LECTROSONICS, INC.

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.
