DEVA’s DB8009-MPX is an exceptional example of a top-notch silence detector that continues
the company’s hugely successful range of broadcast tools but at the same time stands apart in terms
of the functionalities it provides users with. It guarantees highly dependable monitoring of the
Composite Stereo signal, Analog and Digital Audio feed and in case of signal loss automatically
switches over to one of a number of available backup sources.
Crucially, however, the most notable advantage of this product are the MPX inputs and outputs
providing precisе MPX monitoring and backup capabilities. Similarly to other tools in this product
line, the DB8009-MPX also offers the familiar MP3 and IP Audio backup options. Its design
incorporates a fully DSP-based Stereo Encoder which provides an MPX signal at the output even
if the backup source has been set as Analog, Digital or IP Audio.
The unit can be easily congured and monitored by users via SNMP, the WEB Interface, the
front panel LCD display and the set of soft buttons. Another important feature is its capability for
alert notications which, in case radio silence is detected, can be generated via email, SNMP or
analog opto-coupled outputs.
The DB8009-MPX provides UPnP for easy discovery in local networks, as well as digital
volume control of all audio sources, and can be incorporated effortlessly into the setup of either
a single station or large radio networks. Through a standard FTP client, MP3 backup les can be
uploaded onto the device, which also has a 4GB storage capacity ensuring no repetition of audio
tracks for over 24 hours of playback.
The DB8009-MPX is a model that combines the immaculate monitoring performance of
DEVA’s products with the much-valued precision of the Analog, Digital Audio and MPX silence
detection to deliver a constant, uninterrupted audio feed.

OPERATING RECOMMENDATIONS
For the normal and reliable operation of the DB8009-MPX device we recommend to follow the
next list of instructions:
• Please, install the unit only in places with good air conditioning. The unit has been designed
for operation within an ambient temperature range extending from 10 to 50°C. But because
adjacent, less efcient equipment may radiate substantial second-hand heat, be sure that the
equipment rack is adequately ventilated to keep its internal temperature below the specied
maximum ambient. When installing, leave a clearance of at least 1 cm around the equipment
to allow air to pass freely.
• We do not recommend installation in rooms with high humidity, dusty places or other
aggressive conditions.
• Although it is expected that a DB8009-MPX will be installed close to exciters (or transmitters
of even higher-power!), please practice reasonable care and common sense in locating the
unit away from abnormally high RF elds.
• Please, use only already checked power supply cables and sources. The shielded cables
usage is strongly recommended.
• We strongly recommend connecting the device only to reliable power supply sources. In
case of unstable power supply, please use UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply).
• Please, use the device only with placed top cover to avoid any electromagnetic anomalies
which may cause problems of the normal functionality of the unit.
• Please, connect DB8009-MPX only to good quality Internet connection. This is very
important for the normal remote operation of the unit.
• Please, check if your network settings pass through all the data trafc required for the normal
operation of the DB8009-MPX unit.
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (RFI)
Although we have anticipated DB8009-MPX installation in the immediate proximity of
broadcast transmitters, please do practice some care using the unit away from abnormally high RF
elds.

suspected, notify the carrier at once, and then contact DEVA Broadcast Ltd.
We recommend that you retain the original shipping carton and packing materials, just in
case return or reshipment becomes necessary. In the event of return for Warranty repair, shipping
damage sustained as a result of improper packing for return may invalidate the Warranty!
Mounting
RACK REQUIREMENT
The DB8009-MPX mounts in a standard 19-inch equipment rack and requires only 1¾ inches
(1U) of vertical rack space. The use of plastic washers is recommended to protect the painted nish
around the mounting holes.
HEAT DISSIPATION
Consuming less power than the light in a refrigerator, the DB8009-MPX itself generates
negligible heat. The unit is specied for operation within an ambient temperature range extending
from freezing to 120°F/50°C. But because adjacent, less efcient equipment may radiate substantial
heat, be sure that the equipment rack is adequately ventilated to keep its internal temperature
below the specied maximum ambient.

BACKUP
65 Aleksandar Stamboliyski Str., 8000 Bourgas, Bulgaria
The backup sources priority is user-dened and can be set through the Source Priority section.
If the audio from the main source disappears, the DB8009-MPX will automatically switch to the
rst backup source; if it also fails, the unit will switch to the second. Once a source with higher
priority is restored, the unit will switch back to it. The GPI Forced option will force selected audio
input (Main, Backup 1 or Backup 2) via GPI pin.
Audio Loss and Audio Recovery and MPX Loss and Recovery
Allow you to select the appropriate levels of loss and recovery of the audio/MPX signal. Do not
forget to set the corresponding timeouts.
MPX Monitor Mode
Denes which signal will be monitored for silence and respectively switch over. The following
options are available:
• MPX Mono - the DB8009-MPX will monitor the L+R sub-band only;
• MPX Stereo - the unit will monitor the L+R sub-band and the PILOT signal.
How the device works
The DB8009-MPX has two MPX (Main and AUX), two Digital (Main and AUX) and two
Analog (Main and AUX) inputs.
Option 1 – Current source is MPX (Main or AUX). MPX signal is routed to MPX output. MPX
signal is partially demodulated to recover L+R mono audio. This audio is then routed to Audio
output.
Option 2 – Current source is Audio (IP Audio, MP3 Player, Main or AUX - Analog/Digital).
The Audio signal is routed to Stereo Coder and Audio output. MPX signal is generated by Stereo
Coder and routed to MPX output.

BASIC RDS
65 Aleksandar Stamboliyski Str., 8000 Bourgas, Bulgaria
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Stereo Generator, Basic RDS and Dynamic RDS will work only
when the device uses MP3 or IP Audio as audio source. When Main and AUX are used, Main or
AUX MPX input will be played.
All basic elements of the RDS/RBDS are displayed on the screen – PI, PS, RT, TA/TP and etc.
The Alternative frequencies are also available, represented as a list. The number of the AF can be
set via the AF Count Slider. Once the needed quantity of AFs is set, the frequencies for each of
them should be specied.
PI/CALL (Program Identication) – The PI code is your station’s ‘digital address’. It is a
hexadecimal code that is assigned by an appropriate broadcasting authority in most countries, but
in the United States the PI code is numerically calculated from the station’s call sign. We have
provided a calculator utility within the DB8009-MPX. An in-depth discussion of the mathematical
calculation is given in RDS/RBDS Standard. To use the PI calculator for US ‘K’ and ‘W’ call
signs, simply enter call letters into the CALL box. The hexadecimal code will automatically be
calculated into PI box. If the hexadecimal code for a US station is known, you may enter it under
PI, and then the call sign will be calculated automatically into CALL box. When PI calculator fails
to calculate PI or CALL the corresponding box will be lled with ‘----’.
PS (Program Service Name) – This is the station’s “street name” that will appear on the
receiver faceplate display. The PS can be up to eight characters in length (including spaces) and
can be as simple as the station’s call letters: KWOW or KWOW FM, or a slogan: NEWSTALK or
LIVE 95.
RT (Radio Text) – This is a 64-character block of plain text that the listener can select for
visual display on the faceplate of the radio by pressing an INFO button on the receiver. This
function is not available on many automobile radios for safety reasons, which has precipitated the
frowned-upon practice of scrolling the PS eld instead. The Radio Text can announce song titles
- 41 -
Page 42
65 Aleksandar Stamboliyski Str., 8000 Bourgas, Bulgaria
and performers, run special promotions or contests, or broadcast sponsors’ messages.
PTY (Program Type) – The PTY data ag identies the station format from a pre-dened
categories. Many RDS receivers are able to seek the listener’s preferred format automatically.
This means that a car radio can switch from a fading station to a stronger one that carries the
same variety of music, though not the very same program, as provided by AF switching. The PTY
function of RDS helps a broadcaster catch ‘transient audience’ share. The PTY code is not meant
to change from song to song or to accommodate a top-of-the-hour newscast, however.
MS (Music/Speech Switch) – This ag simply indicates whether music or speech is the primary
broadcast programming.
TP (Trafc Program Identication) – The TP ag identies the station as one that routinely
broadcasts trafc bulletins for motorists as part of its normal, everyday programming. When the
TP ag is displayed on the receiver faceplate, the radio is searching for trafc announcements. The
radio keeps track of TP stations offering this service to speed up the search-and-switch process.
TA (Trafc Announcement) – This is a temporary ag added to the RDS data stream only
when a trafc bulletin is being aired. Some RDS car radios can be set to search for trafc bulletins
among various TP stations while tuned to a listener’s preferred program, or even while playing
a tape or CD. As soon as any TP station broadcasts a trafc bulletin, the receiver temporarily
switches-over to receive it. When the bulletin is nished, the receiver switches back to the original
program, tape or CD.
DI (Decoder Information) – This is one of several ‘ags’ that convey yes/no or other very
basic data. This particular ag tells the receiver whether the broadcast is monaural, or is being
transmitted in any of several methods of stereo or binaural broadcasting.
List of Alternative Frequencies – A network broadcaster, or one with low-power rebroadcast
transmitters (translators) to ll holes in his coverage area, can include a list of all frequencies where
the identical program can be heard simultaneously. The RDS receiver (particularly the upscale car
radio) constantly searches for the best signal that carries the very same program. When a better
signal is found, the radio re-tunes with no noticeable interruption. The principal utility of this RDS
function is with European radio networks and US stations with ‘translators.’
WHEN APPLYING NEW SETTINGS – In order new settings to take effect, it is necessary to
press the [Save] button. Please keep in mind that some of the new settings can reset DB8009-MPX.

Dynamic PS
‘marches’ the message across the display screen one character at a time. The message requires
a much longer transmission time in this mode, but a glance at the radio display a few seconds still
allows the driver to get the full message without missing words.
Scroll Speed – The speed of dynamic PS messaging is set here, or dynamic PS messaging can
be turned off entirely. When 0 - DPS Disabled is selected, the dynamic PS message remains in the
nonvolatile encoder memory, but only the 8-character default static “street name” typed into the PS
eld (Basic RDS) will be displayed on the receiver faceplate. Setting the speed at 1 - Slowest will
result in the slowest refresh rate of the ‘block’ message, or slowest safe scrolling. 9 - Fastest is the
fastest speed, but many RDS radios display gibberish at high speed settings. The display should be
stable with any radio at a speed setting of 7 or lower.
Parse Mode – sets the scroll step to be used in the “block” mode message transmission, more
popular as ‘grouped-word’ method. Once Parse Mode option is set, this encoder function is valid
for any scrolling-PS message, whether it is entered into the static DPS register, or received as ASCII
text from station automation. Very short words are sent together in groups. For example,
THIS IS
constitutes seven characters that can be sent as a group. The same is applicable for OF THE or
NOW HERE, also. Longer words, up to and including 8 characters, are sent individually: WARNING
or DOUGHNUT or BICYCLE. The device can either center words that are sent individually on
the radio display or left-justify them. This will be covered along with the function of the ‘DPS
Scroll Step’. Words that exceed the available 8 characters are ‘sidestepped’ through two or more
consecutive displays. Examples: EMERGENC followed by MERGENCY, or SUPERMAR followed
by UPERMARK and PERMARKE and ERMARKET. This method of splitting words gives a good
- 43 -

sense of continuity and readability. Setting Parse Mode to 1 - Scroll by 1 letter will scroll the
message one character at a time, as described. Other numbers also safe-scroll the message, but at
2, 3, 4, and up to 8 characters at a time. Selecting 9 - Left Justied will parse, as described, but text
will be left-justied rather than centered on the display. 2 through 8 may be useful in some special
RDS applications, but 0 and 1 are the primary Parse Mode selections. To recap: 0 - Centered will
enable the more-popular, centered-auto-parsed block mode and 1 - Scroll by 1 letter the Dynamic
PS, letter-by-letter option.
Radio Text
RT Speed – The Radio Text update rate is programmed by setting RT Speed =n , with n a number
between 1 and 9, corresponding to a refresh rate between slow and fast, respectively. Keeping the
throughput tradeoff in mind, unless Radio Text is being used for contests or for other quasidynamic
activities, it is best to use a lower number. A rate of 1, 2 or 3 will make little difference in the speed
of other RDS functions. Radio Text can be turned off entirely by setting: RT Speed=0. A zero value
in this eld turns the Radio Text message off, but does not delete any saved message from memory.
The RT (Radio Text) is set in Basic RDS tab.
PTYN (Program Type Name) Settings
PTYN – Program Type Name is transmitted as 8-bit characters. PTYN must only be used to
enhance Program Type information and it must not be used for sequential information.
PTYN Enable – [Enable] or [Disable] type 10A Group Transmission. This group allows further
description of the current Program Type.
Date & Time Settings
CT Enable – [Enable] or [Disable] type 4A Group Transmission.
Console Settings
Server – [Enable] or [Disable] the RDS Console
Timeout – allows session timeout to be specied. Upon expiration of the time set the connection
will be disabled.
TCP Port – a eld where TCP port of the RDS console is to be entered. This console is used to
edit RDS settings in real time. Default value is 2233.
Password – Password for the RDS console. These are the rst symbols that must be sent to
authenticate to the RDS console, otherwise the connection will be cancelled. If left blank NO
security is used. Default value is blank (empty).
WHEN APPLYING NEW SETTINGS – In order new settings to take effect, it is necessary to
press the [Save] button. Please keep in mind that some of the new settings can reset DB8009-MPX.

The RDS console is used to edit the RDS settings in real time. It can be used with an automation
software or a terminal program.
To use the console, follow the steps listed below:
1. Connect to the TCP port of the RDS console with a terminal program or an automation
software;
2. A welcome message HELLO will be received if proper connection is established;
3. If password is needed, the following message will appear PASS?;
4. Proceed with entering the commands.
RDS Console syntax
HELLO
pass8
PASSOK
PI=12348
OK
PI?8
1234
OK
TP=38
NO
Depicted above is a sample RDS console conversation when a password is not set. The red text
represents the user input and the black text - the console’s responses. The 8 symbol represent the
Enter key on the keyboard.
• First row – is the welcome message from the RDS console. Next the user types in the
password (in this case ‘pass’), followed by Enter.
• Third row is the response meaning that the password is accepted and the user may proceed
with commands.
• Fourth row is a ‘set’ command. These types of commands are used to set new value to
RDS parameters. In the example above ‘PI’ is the Program Identication command, ‘=’
(equal sign) means set new value and ‘1234’ is the new value. The Enter key represents
command’s end and signals the RDS console to execute the command.
• Fifth row is a positive response from the RDS console. It means the command is accepted
and executed successfully.
• Sixth row is a ‘get’ command. These types of commands are used to return the current value
of RDS parameters. In the example above ‘PI’ is the Program Identication command, ‘?’
(question mark) means return PI’s value. The RDS console responds with the current value
(in this case ‘1234’) and positive response on the next row.
• Ninth row is again a ‘set’ command. In this case: Set Trafc Program to 3. The response is
negative because the parameter TP can only have value 0 or 1.

In order for a connection to be established the following setting should be applied:
1. FTP Server Settings
The built-in FTP Server has four important parameters that should be congured: Command
Port, Data Port, User name and Password. These parameters are to be used in the FTP client’s
connection conguration. Further information on how to change the FTP Server’s settings and
their respective default values can be found in the device’s User manual.
WE RECOMMEND the usage of FileZilla (https://lezilla-project.org). This is a widespread
open source software distributed free of charge, hence available for downloading from the Internet.
NOTE: The FTP Server can manage only one connection at a time. TheFTP Server works in
Passive mode. Hence, the FTP Client should also be set in passive mode.
2. IP Router and Port Translation Settings
If the connection to the device is made through a Network address translation (NAT) router or
rewall, the port forwarding feature of the router should be congured. The port forwarding is
usually set in the rewall section of the router’s menu. As each router has different port forwarding
procedure, we recommend you to refer to its complete manual. To allow proper data ow through
the router, the FTP Command and FTP Data ports should be open.
NOTE: The FTP port numbers to be used in the port forwarding feature conguration can be
found in the device.
