Silence Sentinel
®
Basic Installation and Operation Manual
INSTALLATION
Surge Protection
The Silence Sentinel® Basic has built-in resistance to voltage changes; we recom-
mend that you use a power surge protector or line conditioner on the incoming AC
line. Lightning strikes and/or other high voltage surges may damage your Silence
Sentinel® Basic and connected equipment if it is not properly protected. For light-
ning protection devices, check out www.polyphaser.com and www.itwlinx.com.
UPS Standby Power System
We recommend that you connect your Silence Sentinel® Basic to a UPS system. A
UPS helps minimize the risk to the Silence Sentinel® Basic and provides power dur-
ing a power outage.
POWER 7.5 VDC connector
This is the connector used to power the unit. Never use any type of power supply
other than the specified power supply.
Cable Preparation
The Silence Sentinel® Basic interfaces to external equipment through removable
euroblock screw terminals. The terminals accommodate wire sizes from 16 - 28
AWG solid or stranded wire. Before installing a wire, remove the euroblock screw
terminal plug and turn each capture screw fully counterclockwise. Strip each con-
ductor to a length of 0.25” and insert the conductor fully into the terminal. Turn the
capture screw fully clockwise to secure the conductor. Verify that no bare wires are
exposed.
Connecting your equipment
Connect the audio source (air monitor, etc) to J1, the left and right inputs. Audio
inputs may be balanced or unbalanced. When using unbalanced sources, feed the +
input and jumper the minus (–) input to GND. These inputs are labeled LT- and LT+
for the left channel and RT- and RT+ for the right channel. Observe proper stereo
phasing.
When used in dual monaural (independent) mode, the left input is ONE and the right
input is TWO.
NOTE: If the audio source is a tuner or receiver, be sure to feed the input(s)
from the fixed output, such as the tape monitor outputs.
CAUTION!
Installation of the
Silence Sentinel® Basic
in high RF environ-
ments should be per-
formed with care. The
station ground should
be connected to the des-
ignated “GND” ground
terminal.
