Power Connections
The switching power supply is designed to operate properly from any AC power source 100–240V, 50/60
Hz without user adjustment. Simply connect the receiver to a standard AC power outlet, using only an
IEC-type input cordset approved for the country of use. Power to the unit is controlled by the front-panel
Power switch.
AEW-R5200: An auxiliary AC “jumper” (pass-through) outlet is provided on the rear panel, and a
”jumper” power cordset is included, to simplify power connections by “daisy-chaining” an array of AEW-
R5200’s. Maximum output from the auxiliary outlet is 5 Amperes, which will easily handle a full
complement of AEW-R5200 units.
“Link” Connections
Artist Elite Series multi-channel systems can comprise all AEW-R4100, all AEW-R5200, or combinations of
AEW-R4100 and AEW-R5200 receivers. The exclusive IntelliScan™ channel assignment system provides
easy, automatic scanning of the RF spectrum and assignment of usable, compatible frequencies to all
linked AEW receiver channels.
Both AEW receiver models can be interconnected using Link In/Out jacks and included link cables. In
addition, the AEW-R5200 offers a built-in Ethernet 10 BaseT connection, with interface software provided
on CD-ROM. See the separate AEW Control Interface manual provided with AEW-R5200 receivers and
5000 Series systems.
All AEW receivers in a linked multi-channel system should be interconnected with included link cables.
When the system is properly configured, the “slave” units will “link data in” to the “Master” unit. (See
Figure B for an example.)
1. First, decide which receiver will be the “Master” unit. Connect a link cable to the Link In jack only.
(In an AEW-R5200, the Channel 1 unit is the Master and Channel 2 becomes the first “slave.”)
2. Connect the free end of the link cable from the Master unit (in #1 above) to the Link Out jack of
the desired “next” unit.
3. Connect one end of a new link cable to the Link In jack of the unit in #2 above.
4. Connect the free end of the link cable from the unit in #2 above to the Link Out jack of the
desired “next” unit.
5. Continue this process of “daisy-chaining” the system’s receivers together with link cables. The
“last” unit in the system will have a cable connected to its Link Out jack, but no connection to its
Link In jack.
Installing link cables starting with the last slave unit and working toward the Master unit is also
acceptable practice.
The attachment order of link cables establishes the numerical order of the receivers in the multi-channel
system, from the selected Master unit through all the slave units. (In the case of AEW-R5200 receivers, a
unit’s Channel 1 always comes before its Channel 2.) In a multi-channel system that includes both models
