Introduction
1.3 Quick set-up guide
Using a transmitter stand-alone with RDS encoder
This set-up uses the built-in audio limiter and stereo generator.
Remove the screws that hold the lid of the transmitter and remove the lid.
Locate the main board on the right side of the transmitter. Locate jumper J1 right behind the BNC con-
nectors. Move it to down position (Loop-through off).
Reassemble the lid back on.
Place a transmitter in a well ventilated space. If it's rack-mounted, leave at least 1U free above and be-
low it for adequate cooling.
Connect the antenna to the RF output N-connector on the back of the
transmitter.
Connect the left and right program audio signals to the XLR input con-
nectors on the back of the transmitter.
Connect the Baseband/MPX output on the back of the transmitter to
the MPX input of the RDS encoder.
Connect the MPX output of the RDS encoder to the MPX input on the
back of the transmitter.
Plug in the power cord to the transmitter.
Once the transmitter is operating, set the correct carrier frequency
from the front panel (this can also be locked and set internally).
Adjust the desired power output level using front panel. Check reflected
power is OK.
Check the gain reduction of the built-in limiter - it should be doing a couple of dB with normal program
level. If necessary adjust the audio input level trimmers on the back of the transmitter.
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!
