2 Safety Notes
This unit corresponds to all relevant directives
of the EU and is therefore marked with
WARNING The unit is supplied with haz-
ardous mains voltage (230 V~) .
Leave ser vicing to skilled per-
sonnel only . Inexpert handling
may cause an electric shock
hazard .
•
The unit is suitable for indoor use only . Pro-
tect it against dripping water and splash
water, high air humidity, and heat (admis-
sible ambient temperature range 0 – 40 °C) .
•
Do not place any vessel filled with liquid on
the unit, e . g . a drinking glass .
•
Immediately disconnect the plug from the
mains socket
1 . if there is visible damage to the unit or
to the mains cable,
2 . if a defect might have occurred after the
unit was dropped or suffered a similar
accident,
3 . if malfunctions occur .
In any case the unit must be repaired by
skilled personnel .
•
Never pull the mains cable for disconnect-
ing the mains plug from the socket, always
seize the plug .
•
For cleaning only use a dry, soft cloth; never
use chemicals or water .
•
No guarantee claims for the unit and no li-
ability for any resulting personal damage or
material dam age will be accepted if the unit
is used for other purposes than originally
intended, if it is not correctly connected, or
if it is not repaired in an expert way .
If the unit is to be put out of oper-
ation definitively, take it to a local
recycling plant for a disposal which
is not harmful to the environment .

3 Applications
The antenna splitter TXS-870DS is designed
for operating up to four receivers:
TXS-606
TXS-626
TXS-646
TXS-852
TXS-855
TXS-862
TXS-865
TXS-871
TXS-872
TXS-875
TXS-891
.
TXS-892
TXS-895
TXS-900
TXS-920
It will make it easier to set up the audio trans-
mission system: Only two of the antennas
supplied with each receiver (one pair for each
receiver) are required for connection to the
antenna splitter; all other antennas and the
power supply units of the receivers are not
required . The receivers are provided with the
antenna signals and with power via the split-
ter . Matching connection cables are supplied .
The antenna splitter can also be used in
connection with the antenna amplifier set
TXS-870B . Via its antenna inputs, it supplies
power to the amplifiers .
4 Operation
The antenna splitter can be placed as desired
or installed into a rack for units of a width of
482 mm (19") . For rack installation, 1 RS (rack
space) = 44 .45 mm is required .
For mounting the antennas at the front,
insert the two supplied BNC double jacks
through the corresponding left and right
mounting holes of the front panel and screw
them on, see fig . 1 .
1) Connect the low-voltage jacks DC OUT-
PUT (6) to the power supply jacks of the
receivers .
2) Connect the pair of antennas of one of
the receivers to the antenna inputs of the
splitter:
– either to the two jacks (1) at the front
of the unit; in this case, connect the rear
jacks (4) to the jacks ANT . A and ANT . B
(7) [see fig . 4]
– or directly to the two jacks ANT . A and
ANT . B at the rear side of the unit
Instead of the pair of antennas, the two
antenna amplifiers of the set TXS-870B
with the antennas placed may be con-
nected to the antenna inputs .
3) Connect the two antenna inputs on each
receiver respectively to an antenna output
ANT . A OUTPUT and the corresponding
antenna output ANT . B OUTPUT (8), see
fig . 4 .
4) Finally connect the supplied mains cable
to the mains jack (5) and the mains plug
of the cable to a socket (230 V~/50 Hz) .
5) To switch the antenna splitter on or off,
press the button POWER (3) . With the unit
switched on, the power LED (2) lights up .
Notes:
1 . If the antenna splitter provides power to 4
receivers, the switch-on power of all receivers
may be too high; the power supply unit of the
splitter will not start . In this case, briefly switch
off one of the receivers .
2 . If the TXS-870DS is not used for a longer pe-
riod of time, disconnect the mains plug from
the mains socket . Otherwise, there will be
low power consumption even when the unit
is switched off .
