as a part Ufa Bogen Centralized School Sound Sys-
tern console or rack.

If the Model TP160 AM/FM Tuner is not part of a Bogen
Centralized School Sound System console or rack, care,
fully unpack the carton and inspect the unit for damage.
If a unit shipped to you proves to be damaged, make an
immediate claim with the shipping carrier. If the unit was
picked up directly from a dealer or distributor, make any

RACK INSTALLATION

NOTE

This paragraph applies only to tuners which will
be installed in a 19equipment rack.

The Model TP160 may be installed in a standard 19 equip,
ment rack by using Model RPK31 rack mounting brackets.
Remove the four screws securing the side of the cover.
D11 not remove the cover. Install the brackets as shown
in figure I. securing them to the tuner with the four screws
supplied with the brackets. Each bracket has two elongated
holes on threeiinch centers for fastening to a standard 19
equipment rack.

CONNECTING AM ANTENNA

An external antenna must be installed on any Model
TPIbO which will be used to receive AM broadcasts. Con,
nect the antenna as shown in figure 2.

CONNECTING EXTERNAL FM ANTENNA
IMPORTANT

Always disconnect the FM Line Antenna
when using an external FM antenna.

The Model TPIbO has an internal FM Line Antenna which
may be used for receiving FM broadcasts. For improved
reception, particularly in weak signal areas or for tuners
mounted in consoles or racks, installation of an outdoor FM
or T" antenna is necessary. If you are installing a standard
ZOOrohm antenna system, connect the twinilead transmission
line as shown in figure 3a. lf conditions require use of a
coaxial transmission line, such as RGill/U or RG759/U,
connect the cable as shown in figure 3b. Coaxial cable must
be used when the transmission line is run in conduit.

Connecting To External TV Antenna

For optimum performance. a separate FM antenna is rec,
ommended. if a TV antenna must be used for both FM and
TV reception, install an FM signal splitter at the end of the
transmission line, as shown in figure 4.
