  • Page 20: Unpacking And Inspection

    Mounting RACK REQUIREMENT The SmartGen 6.0 mounts in a standard 19-inch equipment rack and requires only 1¾ inches (1U) of vertical rack space. In order the painted finish around the mounting holes to be protected, the use of plastic washers is recommended.

  • Page 21: Connecting Ac Power

    The Fuse holder can be found right under the Mains connector. Before connecting the AC Power, make sure that the mains supply at your location is in accordance with SmartGen 6.0’s Power Supply Factory Settings - 100÷240 VAC, 1 Amp Fuse. CAUTION: Permanent damage will result if improper AC supply voltage is applied to SmartGen 6.0 device.

  • Page 22: Selection Of Operating Modes

    When sidechain operation mode is chosen the RDS OR MPX OUTPUT contains only the RDS sub carrier, the composite MPX signal is not routed through SmartGen 6.0. This operating mode preserves the multiplex signal integrity and assures uninterrupted program transmission, in case of encoder failure event.

  • Page 23: Connecting The Smartgen 6.0

    Also, it is important that the operating software be installed on the PC before the SmartGen 6.0 is connected to the encoder for programming the ‘static’ message registers and operating defaults.

    (composite/ MPX) input of the FM exciter; 3. Using a suitable cable, connect the other side of the ‘T’ adapter to the PILOT OR MPX INPUT of SmartGen 6.0; 4. Cable the RDS OR MPX OUTPUT of the encoder to the second wideband (subcarrier) input of the FM exciter.

  • Page 25: Loop-Through Mode

    E-mail: office@devabroadcast.com ,Web: www.devabroadcast.com LOOP-THROUGH MODE 1. Connect the output of the stereo generator directly to the PILOT OR MPX INPUT of SmartGen 6.0; 2. Connect the RDS OR MPX OUTPUT of the encoder to the composite/MPX wideband input of the FM exciter.

This flag must coincide with the actual voice warning of a traffic condition. The encoder includes a means to access this flag with a manual switch closure, which will doubtlessly prove as much faster, convenient and reliable than software control of the TA function.

    65 Aleksandar Stamboliyski Str., 8000 Bourgas, Bulgaria Tel: +359 56 820027, Fax: +359 56 836700 E-mail: office@devabroadcast.com ,Web: www.devabroadcast.com Subcarrier Injection Level When sidechain operation mode is chosen, the RDS subcarrier is the only signal that appears at the rear-panel ‘RDS & MPX OUTPUT’ or ‘RDS OUT’ connector. As some exciters require a higher signal level at auxiliary wideband (SCA) inputs, the RDS signal has been made adjustable to any value between zero and 4 volts, peak-to-peak.

    MPX signal. For this reason we recommend using the composite/MPX signal for synchronization. In the sidechain mode, the SmartGen 6.0 simply bridges the output of the stereo generator and does not load or otherwise compromise the composite/MPX signal.
