What is RDS ?

Radio Data SystemRadio Data System

Radio Data System

RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM radio stations to transmit additional information alongside their regular programmes. This information may include the station name and the type of program being broadcast, i.e. rock, classic, news.

Enhanced Other Networks (EON)Enhanced Other Networks (EON)

Enhanced Other Networks (EON)

Another feature of RDS is called EON (Enhanced Other Networks) which offers local stations the ability to ‘break into’ a national station’s broadcast for the duration of a traffic announcement .

The EON feature will work even if a CD is being played.

PI (Program Identification Code)PI (Program Identification Code)

PI (Program Identification Code)

Code for identifying programs.

AF (Alternative Frequency)AF (Alternative Frequency)

AF (Alternative Frequency)

The EON data sent to the unit will contain information about other frequencies the station can be heard on. This radio will retune to a different frequency when the current signal becomes weak, assuming an alternative frequency is available for the station. For this to happen, the AF function must be switched on.

Sometimes the radio will keep trying to find a stronger signal which can become distracting. This can be overcome by switching the AF function off.

In theory, if travelling around the country, it should be possible to listen to all the national stations without having to manually retune.

Many local radio stations have limited coverage and may be linked together according to their region. If the signal from one local radio station becomes weak, the RDS radio can switch to another local station in the same region. If you wish the radio to stay tuned to the same station regardless of the signal strength or quality, then you should turn the Regional facility off.

 If the installation angle exceeds 30

degrees from the horizontal, the unit may not give its optimum performance.

Installation

Connection diagramConnection diagram

Connection diagram

The diagram showing the connection of the unit to the car is shown on the next page.

Most modern cars are fitted with an ISO connector that is ready-wired to all of these items fitted in the car, (except the aerial input lead). The unit is fitted with an ISO connector that will join with the ISO connector in the car.

Some older cars will not have an ISO connector. In these cases you will need to obtain a “patch cable assembly” that connects to the connector that is fitted. The other end of this cable has an ISO connector to mate with that from the unit. This patch cable should be obtained for the model of car to be fitted with the unit and should be available from good car accessory shops.

This unit is suitable for use in vehicles which have a negative earth system.

e.g.: the negative terminal of the battery is connected to the chassis.
