Line 6 XD-V75 Satellite Radio User Manual

To rack-mount a single XD-V75 receiver, use both the long and short rack ears provided with the
receiver; the receiver can be mounted on either the left or right side of the rack. If you are not using
optional remote antennas, you will be mounting the provided half-wave antennas on the long rack ear.
Remove the rubber covers to expose the D-cut mounting holes in the rack ear, unthread the hex nut and
lock washer from the provided BNC-to-BNC connectors, pass them through the holes, and rethread
and tighten. Use the four provided short flat-head screws to attach the right-angle tabs of the rack ears
in the dovetail slots at the front of the receiver.
To connect the antennas to the receiver, attach one end of the provided BNC cables to
ANTENNA A
and
ANTENNA B on the rear panel, and the other end to the inside-facing side of the BNC-to-BNC
connectors on the long rack ear. Complete the process by screwing the assembly into the rack, making
your power and audio connections, and placing the half-wave antennas on the connectors on the front
of the rack mount.
Rack Mounting & Antennas – Two Receivers
To mount two receivers side-by-side, use the provided “dovetail key”. Slide it into the channel on one
side of the receiver from the rear toward the front. The key fits tightly, so some pressure or gentle taps
from a mallet may be required; take care to avoid damage to the exposed front-panel controls when
positioning the receiver for this process. Then slide the slot of the second receiver on to the dovetail
key, starting at the point where the key is closest to the front of the first receiver, and push back until
the front panels of the receivers meet.
Part of the dovetail key may still be protruding from the back of the receivers, and the mallet can be
used to gently tap until it is flush with the rear of the receivers. At the center of the rear panel where
the two receivers meet, use a 1/8” Allen wrench to remove the inner rubber “bumpers”, and place the
square rack-mount mating bracket onto the unit so that the holes line up with the screw holes in each
receiver. Replace the rubber bumpers and attach with the screws you removed.
Use the short flat-head screws to attach short rack ears to both sided of the block of two receivers. When
the receivers are mounted together, either use remote antennas on one receiver and BNC-to-BNC
cables to loop to the other.
To loop from one receiver to the next, the antennas connect to the
ANTENNA A and ANTENNA
B BNC connector or the rear panel of the first receiver. Then the BNC-to-BNC cables go from the
[A OUT] and [B OUT] connectors to the
ANTENNA A and ANTENNA B connectors of the next
receiver.
