1.2 General description

The Radio Tuner is a device which can tune and save FM radio channels. It uses the Sound System BUS to make the signal available to the amplifiers.

1.3 Pushbutton functions

1 - Wire antenna2 - MCX connector for external

antenna (e.g. roof antenna)3 - Green LED on steady: good

quality signal reception*4 - Red LED on steady: stereo

reception (mono reception off )*

5 - Configurator socket6 - Clamp for the connection to

the sound system SCS BUS7 - Radio tuner programming and

radio program scanning keys8 - LED backlit display for the

display of frequency, RDS messages, and saved stations

* NOTE: Both LEDs are off when the display backlight is off, to reduce consumptions. The Backlight goes off when no keys are pressed for one minute, and comes back on as soon as any key is pressed..

Decreases the tuned frequency

Increases the tuned frequency

Select the saved stations (quick press) or save the selected station (long press)

Selects the frequency search mode: manual or automatic

Press both keys at the same time to start automatic search & save of the radio stations

1.1 Warnings and tips

Before installing the Radio Tuner F500N read this manual carefully.

1.5 Wiring diagram for the coaxial antennaNOTE: In order to receive the radio channels correctly the type of antenna used must be selected: if the F500N is installed in an area of the building with sufficient signal, the wire antenna can be used. If the signal inside the building is not sufficient, the external antenna can be used (e.g. an-tenna installed on the roof ), with the coaxial connector and the appropriate adapter cable. The type of antenna is selected using the configurator.

F MCX

BA

Maximum level 70 dBµVMinimum level 40 dBµV (mono) - 50 dBµV (stereo)(ref. standard IEC-EN-50083-7)Maximum and minimum levels to be guaranteed at the antenna socket for correct reception of the FM band.

B

System for cable distribution of television signals with connection to the FM antenna through dedicated connection, or FM antenna system only, in accordance with CEI-EN-50083.A

Failure to observe the signal levels described in point B may affect the reception properties of the audio signal and the RDS signal.

1.6 Installation1 - Make sure that the Tuner is disconnected from the BUS.2 - Configure the device.3 - Install the device on the DIN rail in a position where positioning of the wire antenna is easy.4 - In order to use the coaxial antenna, connect the type F connector of the adapter cord to exter-

nal receiving devices (local antennas or antenna systems) and the MCX connector to the ANT terminal as shown in the connection diagram.

5 - Connect the Tuner to the BUS as described in the “Connection to the scs bus and configuration” section.

6 - Switch ON the BUS.

1.8 Display

The display shows the message RDS sent from the tuned station (only if available from the radio stations), the tuned frequency and the number of the station played.There are also two indications "STEREO" and "FM CH" which indicate if the tuned signal is stereo and if automatic station search has been selected.

1.7 Switching on

After installing the Tuner (or after a power cut) and if no device has requested switching on the radio, with backlighting OFF, the display shows "MY HOME" and the indication “STANDBY”.The Radio Tuner has a display with backlighting, which comes on when any of the pushbuttons is pressed. One minute after the last press the backlighting and the LED go out. Activating the device by means of the commands on the front of the tuner does not involve switching on the amplifiers in the rooms.

• Press the forwards/backwards pushbuttons to select the frequency required.

• The display shows the frequency. If the signal reception is of good quality, the green LED (A) lights up.

If the signal is stereo, as well as the green LED (A), the red LED (B) also lights up and “STEREO” (C) appears.

Also, if available for the station tuned, the RDS message appears.

• Press the auto/man pushbutton to select the automat-ic search mode.

• This is shown on the display (A).

• Pressing the forwards/backwards pushbuttons, the device scrolls the frequency until it finds a station with a good-quality signal. During the search, RDS and the frequency disappear from the display and it shows ADJ (B).

• To go to the next or previous station, press the for-wards/backwards pushbuttons again.

2.1 Radio frequency tuning (manual search)

2.2 Radio frequency tuning (automatic search)

This function can automatically search for the frequencies of the radio stations received with a good-quality signal.

3.1 Saving the radio stations

The device can save up to 15 radio stations (depending on the configuration). As basic, no sta-tion is saved on the Tuner. When a station which is not saved is called, it tunes to an intermediate frequency.

• Press pushbutton "M" quickly to select the number of the position where the station will be saved.

• The position where the station is saved (A) is shown on the display.

• Press the forwards/backwards pushbuttons to tune the frequency required.

On changing the frequency, the number starts to flash to indicate that the frequency actually dis-played is different from that saved.

• When the required station is found, keep the "M" pushbutton pressed until the two LED start to flash.

• To save the other stations repeat the procedure.

• At the end release the pushbutton. The station is now saved.

3.2 Automatic saving of the radio stations

Press and at the same time to start automatic search & save of the radio stations: all the available positions will be filled with the radio stations for which the tuner detects an optimum signal level.

PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION

The Tuner does not switch on No power Check the 27 Vdc voltage on the green terminal

The blue backlighting does not light up when any of the keys are pressed

Defective tuner Replace

Tuner ON, backlighting working but no sound Amplifiers OFF or distant

Go to the room where the amplifiers are and switch them on

When a station has been tuned, the green LED does not light up

The antenna wire has not been extended

For best reception keep the antenna wire straight and if possible vertical

The signal received is extremely weak

Use F500N connected to a coaxial antenna systemThe Radio Tuner is in a well

shielded room (cellars, behind heavily reinforced concrete structures)

When a station has been tuned, the red LED does not light up
