Ecler WILD DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) wireless technology system transmit audio via radio frequency, using 1880 – 1930 MHz bandwidth, (EU DECT, US DECT).

WiLD is a robust and stable system. Each WiLD-TX has two DECT antennas:

1. Working channel: both antennas transmit audio to receivers.

2. DECT channel handover algorithm: DECT is not hoping periodically but continuously moves the carrier, searching for the best options to switch in case of low link quality.

An RF system, even a robust one like WiLD, is always exposed to potential performance failures when working in hostile RF environments.

The WiLD-14 receivers come with the lighting rail bracket already mounted. Follow these steps to install a WiLD-14 unit in a lighting rail:

1. Ensure that the 4-position (OFF-1-2-3) circuit selector wheel in the WiLD-14 unit is in the OFF position.

2. Insert the loudspeaker in the lighting rail.

3. Rotate the safety lug to secure the loudspeaker on the lighting rail. Rotate the circuit selector wheel to a position other than OFF, the one matching with a circuit in the rail that will deliver mains AC to the unit. Then, the safety lug will be locked.

4. Check whether the unit is really powered ON or not by watching the LED indicator at its back panel: depending on the status of the receiver unit (at factory defaults, already paired, etc) blinking or fixed lit LEDs will appear. Status LED OFF permanently will mean that the unit is not powered, probably not getting mains AC from the lighting rail. In this case, please check:

– The lighting rail is really powered with mains AC.

– The WiLD-14 receiver circuit selector wheel is in the right position. Check the rest of positions to try to get a valid one, with some LED activity, thus getting mains AC from the rail tracks.

5. Orient the loudspeaker to obtain the required position on the vertical and horizontal axes.

If a WiLD-14 receiver needs to be installed on a surface without an available lighting rail, the optional surface mount accessory, ref. TUBE SMA, can be used. In first place, mount and power the accessory with mains AC. Then, follow the previous steps to insert and fix the WiLD-14 unit in it.

Before detaching the WiLD-14 receiver, ensure that the 4-position (OFF-1-2-3) circuit selector wheel is set in the OFF position.

The WiLD-SB18 receivers come with pre-assembled plastic and rubber feet, ready for floor mounting. However, a wall/surface mount bracket is included in case that wall mounting is preferred.

1. Fix the 4 wall plugs and screws provided to the wall, following the distances specified in the diagram (140mm horizontal, 282mm vertical).

2. Attach the 2 wall brackets to the device using the 12 screws provided.

3. Hang the device on the wall by inserting the brackets mounted to the device into the screws attached to the wall.

A WILD-TX transmitter unit is necessary to control and feed with wireless audio a WiLD network of WiLD-14, and WiLD-SB18 receivers, up to a maximum of 32 units.

First, mount the 3 supplied antennas (2 DECT antennas, 1 BT antenna).

The WILD-TX unit is suitable for installation on a wall or under a surface (table, shelf, cupboard, etc.). Since the device features a heat generator, it should not be enclosed or exposed to extreme temperatures.

Please, follow the following guidelines to decide a location for the WiLD-TX unit that can get the best of a WiLD system in any venue:

– Maximum recommended installation height is 2 m.

– Take into consideration that the maximum RF operating scope from the WiLD-TX unit to any receiver unit (WiLD-14, WILD-SB18) is 150 meters, with direct line of sight. This distance or shorter, with no obstacles in between both units, is required to try to ensure the maximum connection quality and stability possible.

– To get the maximum coverage area in a certain space, the location of the transmitter unit (or Master unit) should be, ideally, as much centred as possible in respect to the receivers’ network.

Once decided its location, the WiLD-TX transmitter must be fed with up to 2 audio inputs: INPUT 1 (stereo unbalanced, 2xRCA connectors) and INPUT 2 (stereo, received via Bluetooth®).

Once all the connections are made, connect the external power supply included to the DC IN terminal on the rear panel to power up the unit and start the WiLD setup process.

WILD-TX includes a half rack front adapter which allows half-rack width media devices to be installed in a standard 19″ rack, taking up 1U width and 1U height.

1. Unscrew the 2 screws on either the left or right side of the device as indicated on the diagram.

2. To attach the supplied front half-rack adapter, reuse the 2 screws previously removed.

If multiple units are installed in the same rack or in a cabinet with closed doors, it is highly recommended to install fans in their upper and lower ends for a forced air flow from the bottom up. This upward air flow will favour the dissipation of heat generated inside.

WILD-TX includes 2 ears which can be mounted on the front or top square.

1. Unscrew the 2 screws on each side of the device.

2. To attach the supplied 2 ears, reuse the 4 screws previously removed.

When a WILD-TX transmitter is powered up for the very first time (or after a Factory Defaults reset has been applied to it), it will show the status LED blinking slowly. This means the unit is not paired and is ready.

The pairing process is as follows:

1. Make a short press on WiLD PAIR button in the rear panel of the transmitter unit (WILD-TX).

2. The Discover process, or scan for available receivers, will start. Status LED indicator will blink slowly. When the receivers have been paired to WiLD-TX, WiLD pair button must be pressed in the rear panel to stop the pair mode in WiLD-TX.

3. Make a short press on WiLD PAIR button in the rear panel of the receiver units (WiLD-14 and/or WiLD-SB18).

4. The receiver’s Discover process will start, and its Status LED indicator will blink slowly.

5. When it is over, and the network connections have been stabilised, status LED will stay permanently lit, with no blinking. This means that a valid pairing process has been performed.

The pairing procedure is accumulative. It means that when performed again, it scans to find additional available (new, unpaired) receivers with WiLD pair mode activated. The internal list is then updated to include the newly paired receivers.

It is recommended to make the pairing with receivers close to the transmitter. Once the receiver has been paired to the transmitter it can be taken to the place it must be installed.

To pair the Bluetooth® device, follow these steps:

1. Short Press the button “BT pair” in the front panel of the WiLD-TX.

2. In the Bluetooth configuration of your smart telephone or PC look for the device with name as “Wild-Tx XXXX” where “XXXX” will be a combination of letters and numbers.

3. Select the WilD-TX device in your Bluetooth configuration and accept the request.

4. Now the WiLD-TX device is paired to your Bluetooth device and ready to transmit audio.

Once there is one device paired to the WILD-TX Bluetooth, no other devices will be able to be paired until BT pair button is pressed.

To make a Bluetooth Reset hold the BT pair button for more than 5 seconds.

The WiLD-SB18 receiver has one LED indicator on the rear panel which provides information about the working status:

In addition, the WiLD-SB18 receiver features a LED Display on the rear panel that provides detailed information about its operational status:
