Oehlbach FM TOWER 17 Manual Del Usuario página 3

Thank you,
for choosing an Oehlbach product. The Oehlbach FM Tower 17 has been de-
veloped to enable a sharp and clear reception of FM and AM signals. The development department at
Oehlbach has created an antenna that combines state-of-the-art technology with exceptional design.
The FM Tower 17 can be installed within minutes and is easy to use. Radio reception sets and
receivers can have different connection options. Please find your correct connection option and follow
the instructions in this user manual.
FM connection
Your FM Tower 17 is supplied with power via a coaxial connection that has a standard 75 ohm
impedance level, which means it can be connected to all common radio devices.
AM connection
The FM Tower 17 is connected to the AM input on your radio or receiver via a two-wire connecting
cable. If the connector features spring-loaded terminals, you can connect the two wires directly. If you
have screw connections, you can wrap the wires around the screws and then tighten them in place.
Power supply
Insert the jack of the mains adapter into the designated socket on the antenna. You can then connect
the mains adapter to a power outlet. Please note: When the mains adapter is plugged in, the anten-
na is supplied with electri-city. As the mains adapter has very little output, however, this is negligible.
To disconnect the mains voltage please use a switchable power outlet.
Positioning
1. All types of antenna are affected by electromagnetic fields. In order to achieve the best possible
reception you should position the antenna at a sufficient distance to receivers, tuners, CD/DVD
players, TVs and computers. Please note: Antennas work best when CD players, VCRs and
computers are switched off.
2. Do not position the antenna in close proximity to large metal objects. The best results are pro-
duced when the antenna is positioned near a window.
3. Some places in your surrounding area may not be able to receive any radio signals. This may be
the case for buildings that are shielded with aluminium or metal. In this case you should try to
position the antenna at different locations until the best reception is achieved.
Adjustable gain
An adjusting knob is located on the front of the antenna for antenna gain. This enables you to
mechanically increase or reduce the level of gain. The further you are away from the transmitter mast,
the bigger the gain required. If you are located near a transmitter mast, you should reduce the level of
gain as this can cause distortion and signal saturation.
