This Quick user guide will make the installation of the RDS/RBDS Encoder SmartGen Micro quick and
easy. Applying these principles, you can simplify the process and save yourself extra time and effort. For
more information about the Safety precautions and the Operating environment recommendations
please refer to the complete User Manual.
STEP 1
1. Install the unit on its operation place;
2. Using the supplied Power adapter connect SmartGen Micro to the AC Power;
3. Configure the desired operating mode - sidechain or loop-through before the device is installed in the
signal path (For more information refer to Step 4 & Step 5);
4. Before connecting SmartGen Micro to other air-chain equipment, use the SmartGen Basic Encoder
Manager to confirm that the encoder is properly configured.;
5. In order to program the 'static' message registers and operating defaults, install the operating
software, before connecting the device to the computer (Refer to Step 2).
NOTE: We recommend testing the encoder with the controlling interface (computer, terminal, automation,
etc.) before SmartGen Micro joins the air chain. This will confirm whether the encoder is properly
initialized and two-way communication can be established.
