Page 8: Warnings
Encoder, DO NOT expose this unit to rain or moisture. Due to the danger of personal injury, electrical shock, or damage to the instrument, ONLY Arbitron authorized service personnel shall gain access to the inside of the Studio Grade Encoder. DO NOT disconnect the earth ground from the power cord since this is a very important safety feature. -

XLR connectors. The Arbitron encoder listed on the title page of this manual has been designed to meet the requirements of the European Union's directive 2002/95/EC, commonly known as RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Compliance. -
Page 10: Suggested Placement In Audio Chain Installation
Arbitron Encoder Model: 1000-1160-xx In AM radio stations, Arbitron recommends that the encoder is installed after the final audio processor (i.e. Orban Optimod, Telos Systems’ Omnia, or others) to take advantage of the more consistent audio leveling found at this point in the broadcast chain. In FM stations, Arbitron recommends that the encoder be installed after a pre-processor and before the final audio processor (i.e. -

LACING THE NCODER IMPORTANT: Before the installation of this encoder is considered complete, Arbitron requires that a quality analysis check be performed on the encoded audio. The time required per encoder is minimal. Please call your Arbitron contact to arrange this test. -
Page 14: Table 2: Db9 Pinouts For Remote Control Of Encode/Bypass Status
Equipment Manual Document # 1050-1473 Rev. D Arbitron Encoder Model: 1000-1160-xx 6.3.2. Master Bypass While the SGE is powered, pushing the front panel Bypass/Enable push button to the ‘out’ position causes the SGE to bypass encoding. This effectively routes the audio input connectors to their corresponding output connectors. -

Page 18: Encoder Overheat Behavior
VERHEAT EHAVIOR Arbitron encoders are designed to withstand heat at tolerances similar to those of other studio- grade broadcasting equipment. When properly installed in a climate-controlled environment as described in Section 5, the encoder should experience no overheat issues. Should your encoder LCD display an “Over Temp”... -

- Page 25 Equipment Manual Document # 1050-1473 Rev. D Arbitron Encoder Model: 1000-1160-xx A. Using the Optional Time Decoder Input The SGE’s internal clock, just like any other clock, can drift. Many encoder models use an optional Time Decoder Input to reduce the overall clock drift to match that of the station clock.

CLOCK CODE IN Figure 9: Rear Panel of Arbitron RoHS Compliant Analog SGE with Time Decoder Option A.2. Confirming Whether the SGE Time Decoder is Enabled To verify that the SGE Time Decoder Input is enabled, once power is applied to the SGE, follow these steps: 1. - Page 27 Equipment Manual Document # 1050-1473 Rev. D Arbitron Encoder Model: 1000-1160-xx When the encoder first boots up, it synchronizes its internal clock with the Time Decoder Input using a maximum allowed clock drift of 15 minutes. Once a successful synchronization has occurred, in future synchronization events the maximum clock drift used to synchronize the internal clock will be 15 seconds.
- Page 28 Equipment Manual Document # 1050-1473 Rev. D Arbitron Encoder Model: 1000-1160-xx A.4. LCD Messages Related to Time Update If an error occurs when the encoder attempts to communicate with the Time Decoder Input or attempts to synchronize its internal clock, this is indicated via the Encoding Status LED and a message on the LCD.
- Page 29 Description: A problem was detected when attempting to synchronize the SGE internal clock. The encoder will be in bypass mode, and the Encoding Status LED will be flashing RED/OFF. Corrective Action: Contact Arbitron. • No Time Board Expected Description: The time synchronization functionality is disabled.
