1.1 Purpose This guide covers P232U-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 ...

2.1 Front Panel 2.1.1 Status LCD The LCD area splits 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. For ...

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

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. RS-232 OUTPUT INPUT GPIO 12V DC SIDE USB PORT 1 PORT 2 FM Transmitter with int ...

The RDS encoder is equipped with two communication ports. Both ports are universal, so they accept complete set of ASCII commands, a connection from the Windows control software and UECP records (depending on setup). 3.4.1 Connection to a USB port of the PC Standard USB interface is provi ...

Important note: There is no universal setting for the RDS level. Due to different input sensitivity of various FM broadcast equipment it's necessary to check and adjust the RDS level each time you connect a new FM transmitter to the RDS encoder! The correct level should be between 2 and 11 % of the audio multiplex signal, measured ...

4.1 Establishing a First Communication with the RDS Encoder To configure the RDS encoder before first use, you may use either the USB (Port 2) or RS-232 (Port 1). 1. Install the Windows control software called ‘Magic RDS 4’, run the setup exe file and go through the simple installation wizard. 2. In the case of USB connection i ...
