operation from 115V/230V, 50/60Hz AC mains. This can be conrmed by checking the voltage
selector inside the unit. To change the mains voltage, rst remove the top cover of the unit. A

clearly marked slide switch is next to the AC mains connector on the encoder circuit board. With
power disconnected, use a small screwdriver to set the switch for 115VAC or 230VAC operation.
Be sure to install the appropriate fuse, DB9000-STC is equipped at the factory with 1A fuse.

230V

115V

OPERATING RECOMMENDATIONS

For the normal and reliable operation of the DB9000-STC 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 efcient equipment may radiate substantial second-hand heat, be sure that the
equipment rack is adequately ventilated to keep its internal temperature below the specied

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 DB9000-STC 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 DB9000-STC 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 trafc required for the normal

operation of the DB9000-STC unit.

RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (RFI)

Although we have anticipated DB9000-STC installation in the immediate proximity of broadcast

transmitters, please do practice some care using the unit away from abnormally high RF elds.

Unpacking and Inspection

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT that the Warranty Registration Card found at the front of this

Manual be completed and returned. Not only does this assure coverage of the equipment under
terms of the Warranty and provide a means of tracing lost or stolen gear, but the user will be sent

specic SERVICE OR MODIFICATION INSTRUCTIONS issued by DEVA Broadcast Ltd.

As soon as the equipment is received, inspect carefully for any shipping damage. If damage is

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 DB9000-STC 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 DB9000-STC itself generates

negligible heat. The unit is specied for operation within an ambient temperature range extending
from freezing to 120°F/50°C. But because adjacent, less efcient equipment may radiate substantial

heat, be sure that the equipment rack is adequately ventilated to keep its internal temperature

below the specied maximum ambient.

RDS ENCODER CONFIGURATION

65 Aleksandar Stamboliyski Str., 8000 Bourgas, Bulgaria

Tel: [phone], Fax: [phone]

RDS Encoder Settings

Enable – General Enable or Disable RDS Encoder.

Program Station Name Settings

PS Static – The 8-character PS eld is for the “street name” of the station. This will appear on

the radio faceplate whenever a dynamic, scrolling – PS message is not being transmitted.

PS Dynamic – We provide Dynamic PS in block mode because of our concern over distracted
car drivers. Viewing a message in the block mode (complete words or groups of words), a driver
must pay close attention to the radio display, or risk missing part of the message. Although the

message may be repeated over and over, the driver may tune in at the end of a song, and in nding

out who sang the number could rear-end the car in front.

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.

DPS Scroll Step – DPS Scroll Step is used in the “block” mode of message transmission,
the more popular ‘grouped-word’ method. Once ‘DPS Scroll Step’ options are set, this encoder
function is valid for any scrolling-PS message, whether it is entered into the static DPS register,

- 33 -

or received as ASCII text from station automation. Very short words are sent together in groups.
For instance, THIS IS constitutes seven characters that can be sent as a group. The same would
hold true for OF THE or NOW HERE. 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 sense of continuity and readability.

Setting ‘DPS Scroll Step’ to 1 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

will parse, as described, but text will be left-justied rather than centered on the display. 2 through

8 may be useful in some special RDS applications, but 0 and 1 are the primary ‘DPS Scroll Step’
selections. To recap: 0 will enable the more-popular, centered-auto-parsed block mode and 1 the
Dynamic PS, letter-by-letter option.

DPS Scroll Speed – The speed of dynamic PS messaging is set here, or dynamic PS messaging
can be turned off entirely. When OFF 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 will be displayed on the receiver faceplate. Setting the speed at 1 will result in the slowest

refresh rate of the ‘block’ message, or slowest Safe Scrolling. 9 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.

Radio Text Settings

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. Most radios have limited alphanumeric display

capability, so the 64 characters of Radio Text march across the front panel, much akin those
annoying LED advertising signs found in airport buses or fast food emporia. Like the Dynamic PS
implementation, Radio Text can announce song titles and performers, run special promotions or
contests, or broadcast sponsors’ messages.

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.

NOTE: 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.

General Settings

PI – Program Identication: This block of data identies the broadcast station with a

hexadecimal numerical code, which becomes the “digital signature” of the station. The code is
assigned by the broadcasting authority in most countries, but in the US it is calculated from a
numerical encoding of station call letters. The receiver processes the PI code to assist automatic
tuning features (station memories), and to prevent false switching to alternative frequencies that
might be shared by broadcasters in nearby regions.

PTY – Program Type: The PTY data ag identies the station format from a collection of
pre-dened 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. Under

some programming circumstances, the PTY identier may be made ‘dynamic,’ changing between
categories for a station that “dayparts” (changes its format for specic time periods). The PTY

code is not meant to change from song to song or to accommodate a top-of-the-hour newscast,
however.

M/S – Music / Speech Switch: This ag simply indicates whether music or speech is the primary

broadcast programming. The purpose of this function is not well explained in the respective
Standards, hence it comes as no surprise that it is not widely used.

Trac Information

TP – Trafc Program Identication: The TP ag identies the station as one that routinely
broadcasts trafc 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 trafc announcements. The

radio keeps track of TP stations offering this service to speed up the search-and-switch process.

TA – Trafc Announcement: This is a temporary ag added to the RDS data stream only as a
trafc bulletin is being aired. Some RDS car radios can be set to search for trafc bulletins among

various TP stations (see TP) while tuned to a listener’s preferred program, or even while playing

a tape or CD. As soon as any TP station broadcasts a trafc 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.

Decoder Information

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. As many as 16 encoding options may
be accommodated! This is a rather esoteric function and, thus far, remains unused both in Europe
and in the US.

PTYN – Program Type Name (PTYN) (for display) 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.

RDS Console

CONNECTING TO THE RDS CONSOLE

The RDS Console is used to edit RDS settings in real time. For example it can be used by
automation software.

To use the console do the following steps:

1. Connect to the TCP port of the RDS console with a terminal program or an automation

software.

2. Wait to receive the welcome message.

3. Enter the password, if used.

4. Proceed with entering commands.

RDS CONSOLE SYNTAX

The picture above is a sample RDS console conversation. The red text represents user input
and black text represents the console’s responses. The symbol ‘8 ’ represent the Enter key on the
keyboard.

The rst row is the welcome message from the RDS console. Next the user types in the password

(in this case ‘pass’), followed by Enter. The third row is the response meaning that the password is
accepted and user may proceed with commands.

The 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 Identication 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. The fth row is a positive response from the

RDS console. It means the command is accepted and executed successfully.

The 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 Identication 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.

The ninth row is again a ‘set’ command. In this case: Set Trafc Program to 3. The response is

negative because the parameter TP can only have value 0 or 1.
