Connector or element 

Desctiption 

12V DC Power Supply 

Power supply connector. See section 3.3 for details. 

Ethernet  

Ethernet RJ-45 connector. 
Use a standard (direct) cat 5 Ethernet cable for connection to the Ethernet switch, router or wall-socket. 
The Ethernet control includes internal website (referenced as “

Port 2

”) and two independent user 

configurable general purpose ports (referenced as “

Port 3

” and “

Port 4

”) designated for remote control via 

TCP or UDP protocol. 
The encoder operates also with no cable connected. 

USB  

USB standard B type connector. This port is referenced as “

Port 1

”. 

Use the USB for initial setup of the encoder or for its local control. 
The encoder operates also with no cable connected. 

Output BNC 

RDS signal output, modulated at 57 kHz subcarrier. 
If the Loop/Side switch is set to the LOOP position, the Output is a sum of the RDS signal and the signal fed 
to the Input BNC connector. 

Input BNC 

Optional input for synchronization to the pilot tone or for mixing the RDS signal with existing modulation 
signal. 

Loop/Side switch 

Allows the 

input

 signal to be added to the 

output

 signal. See sections 3.1 and 3.2 for details. 

GPIO 

Optional logical inputs for direct control of some RDS services (TA, PROGRAM). 
See the Technical manual for details. The connector is a standard 6-pin PS/2 type.
