MODEL 713 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Standards Supported:
European CENELEC and United
States NRSC.
RDS Applications Supported:
PI, PS, PTY, TP, TA, RT, AF, DI,
M/S, FFG. (A detailed explanation of
these applications begins on
Page 7.)
Operating Modes:
(1) Loop-Through:
In loop-through operation, the RDS
subcarrier is internally mixed with
the MPX input and the combined
signal is delivered to the
RDS OR
MPX OUTPUT
. The encoder has
unity gain in the loop-through mode
and accepts a maximum level of 6
volts peak-to-peak corresponding to
±75kHz carrier deviation. Loop-
through includes a failsafe Bypass
function so that program audio will
not be lost if the encoder loses power.
(2) Sidechain:
In sidechain operation, only the RDS
subcarrier appears at the
RDS OR
MPX OUTPUT
. This signal is then
combined with the FM multiplex
baseband in the stereo generator or
FM exciter. The monitored MPX (or
TTL sync) applied t the
PILOT OR
MPX INPUT
connector is used solely
to synchronize the 57kHz RDS sub-
carrier with the 19kHz stereo pilot.
NOTE:
The 713 is shipped from the
factory in the Sidechain mode.
Pilot or MPX Input:
An unbalanced, bridging BNC input
that accepts either the composite/
multiplex (MPX) signal or 19kHz
TTL-level pilot sync from the stereo
generator.
RDS or MPX Output:
An unbalanced, low-impedance BNC
output to feed a wideband input of
the FM exciter.
RDS Injection Level:
Continuously adjustable between
zero and 2 volts peak-to-peak.
USB Port:
Front-panel USB connector for quick
computer programming of static
data.
Serial Data Port:
RS-232 port (DB-9) for static pro-
gramming and dynamic messaging.
2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 39400,
57600 or 115200 baud; 8, N, 1, plain-
text ASCII protocol.
LAN Port:
RJ-45 connector; user-programmable
DNS for full TCP/IP programmabil-
ity via Local Area Network or Inter-
net.
TA Switching:
The temporary TA flag is set either
by a software command or with a
momentary contact closure through a
rear-panel connector.
Power Requirements:
105 130VAC or 210 255VAC,
50/60Hz; 10W.
Size and Shipping Weight:
1¾ H x 19 W x 7 D (1U); 7 lbs.
