Using a transmitter stand-alone with RDS encoder
This set-up uses the built-in audio limiter and stereo generator.
1.
Remove the screws holding the smaller section of lid (above the power supply module) and place to one
side.
2.
Locate the main board on the right side of the transmitter. Locate jumper
J5 right behind the BNC connectors. Move it to left position (Loop-
through off).
3.
Reassemble the lid back on.
4.
Place a transmitter in a well ventilated space. If it's rack-mounted,
leave at least 1U free above and below it for adequate cooling.
5.
Connect the antenna to the RF output 7/16" connector on the back of the transmitter.
6.
Connect the left and right program audio signals to the XLR input connectors on the back of the transmit-
ter.
7.
Connect the Baseband/MPX output on the back of the transmitter to
the MPX input of the RDS encoder.
8.
Connect the MPX output of the RDS encoder to the MPX input on the
back of the transmitter.
9.
Plug the power cord into the power supply module on the rear panel of
the transmitter.
10.
Once the transmitter is operating, set the correct carrier frequency
from the front panel (this can also be locked and set internally).
11.
Adjust the desired power output level using front panel. Check reflect-
ed power is OK.
12.
Check the documentation that came with your RDS encoder on how to set/check the proper RDS injec-
tion level.
That finishes the set-up. A much more detailed explanation is available in the appropriate sections of this manual
as well as additional options. You should read through it!
