1.1 Purpose This guide covers P332-based RDS encoders (both module and boxed versions). It provides the information needed to install the equipment and set basic RDS services in order to get your station RDS enabled quickly in a few steps. Please read this entire guide and familiarize yourself with the controls before attempting to use t ...

2.1 Front Panel 2.1.1 Status LCD The LCD area is divided into two lines. The first line shows key RDS services which require quick access. These services are PS (incl. dynamic), PI, TP and TA. The second line shows the most important status values and RDS services in a loop. Depending on the configuration, some values may be omitted. ...

Two LED diodes are used to indicate operating status of the RDS encoder: Pilot LED Operation LED Status on off Initialization Start-up off on Firmware update in progress · · · · · Normal operation - - - - - An error occurred (encoder’s hw failure) on Receiving data on some port on External pilot synchronization is active off ...

3.1 Connecting the RDS Encoder Basic rules applying for any RDS encoder’s connection: � The RDS signal must be fed into modulation input (added to MPX signal if stereo encoder is used). � If stereo encoder is used, one of its outputs (MPX or pilot tone) must be fed into the RDS encoder input to meet the synchronization require ...

Use this mode only if no of the previous connections is possible. FM Transmitter with integrated stereo encoder RDS Encoder Pilot/MPX output RDS/SCA/MPX input FM transmitter with integrated stereo en ...

The RDS encoder can be supplied from any power supply, which delivers a stabilized 12 V voltage and a current of at least 500 mA. Commonly available switching wall adapters are usually suitable for that purpose. The RDS encoder includes polarity and short-circuit protection. The central conductor of the power supply connector is positive ( ...

Important note: There is no universal setting for the RDS level. Due to different input sensitivity of different FM broadcast equipment it's necessary to check and adjust the RDS level! The correct level should be between 2 and 11 % of the audio multiplex signal, measured by oscilloscope in peak-to-peak values on the modulator inpu ...

4.1 Establishing a First Communication with the RDS Encoder The RDS encoder should be configured via local port (port 1) before first use. Alternatively, the configuration can be made using the embedded website. The encoder comes initialized from the factory. The Ethernet is pre-configured in order to obtain IP address from DHCP. T ...
