INTRODUCTION
1. Introduction
Welcome to the future of digital audio for the radio industry. This is your user guide to our line of XDS-PRO receivers.
These receivers are equipped to deliver multiple audio services in high quality digital audio for your radio station. They have
been designed to make use of all the digital communication features of today, and to be upgraded to take advantage of the
technologies of tomorrow.
1.1 Important Information
Throughout this guide, you will  nd icons designed to help you quickly spot important information:
Note! The note icon identi es information for the proper operation of your equipment,
including helpful hints, shortcuts, or important reminders
Caution! The caution icon identi es information that requires careful attention in order to
prevent equipment damage.
Warning! The warning icon identi es a procedure or practice that could result in personal injury
if not performed correctly.
1.2 Hardware Upgradeability
ATX Networks can upgrade its main control software and audio decoder algorithms over-the-air. This ensures that your
receiver will always have the most up to date features and functionality.
1.3 Hardware Versatility
The PRO1R and PRO1S can deliver one channel of audio received via satellite on its single output port while the PRO1S
and PRO4S can deliver up to four channels of audio on any one of its four balanced output ports. Additionally, content can
be received and stored locally for later use. This content can originate from a real time satellite broadcast, from a high speed
satellite IP distribution channel, or can be retrieved via the Internet over the Ethernet port(s).
1.4 Network Management System
The XDS-PRO satellite receivers have been speci cally designed so that their output can be controlled via one central web
application. This application is called the XDS Network Management System, or NMS. From the NMS, the receiver can be
monitored and managed, and the user can set a schedule of live and delayed programs for each output port. The NMS can
also coordinate  le transfers to store sound, data, or hardware updates directly to the PRO receiver’s internal storage device.
Additionally, the NMS also comes equipped with an advanced event logging system ensuring that any technical problems
will be accompanied by a full history so that causes of problems may be easily identi ed and eliminated. Every network may
provide their own NMS interface for their users which in term interface with the XDS Network Management System to provide
all the advanced features
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Disposal: At end of useful life, this product should be
deposited at an appropriate waste disposal facility for recycling and disposal. Do not dispose this equipment with
household waste.

GETTING STARTED
2. Getting Started
Please take a few minutes to read through the User’s Guide prior to setting up and using the unit. If you are in a hurry, there
is a Quick Start guide that comes packaged with the receiver, but please be sure to consult this section at your earliest
convenience.
2.1 Unpacking the Receiver
Upon receiving your XDS-PRO receiver, ensure that all of the necessary parts have been included.
2.1.1 List of Contents
Below is a table that lists the contents that are packaged with any model of XDS-PRO receiver.

2.2 Safety Precautions
Caution! The following sections provide a list of general hazards to be avoided for safe, reliable
use of the PRO receivers.
2.2.1 Excessive Temperature
The XDS-PRO receivers have been designed to operate safely and reliably in an ambient temperature of 0° to 50° C. The
system is expected to operate without the need for a fan in air conditioned locations. The fan will be electronically controlled
via temperature sensor. This will allow the unit to operate under less than optimal conditions. However, once the receiver is
located in a closed or rack environment, the ambient temperature may be greater than room temperature. Please take this into
consideration when installing the receiver, making sure that the ambient temperature around the receiver does not exceed the
temperature range 0° to 50° C.
2.2.2 Proper Ventilation
Air vents on the side and rear of the receiver are provided to ensure proper air  ow through the receiver unit. In order to ensure
proper operation, the XDS-PRO receivers should be located such that its ventilation is not impeded. In a rack environment,
at least two inches on the sides and at least 5 inches in the rear should be provided. Proper ventilation will help ensure the
receiver performs both safely and ef ciently.
2.2.3 Heat, Humidity, and Dust
In order to avoid unnecessary internal damage, avoid placing the receiver next to external heat sources such as heaters, direct
sunlight, heating ducts, etc. Also avoid locations of high humidity, dust, and vibration.
2.2.4 Power Cord Cabling
Avoid running the power cord across places of high traf c where it can be crimped or tripped over. Make sure the cords are
securely fastened to both the wall outlet or power strip, and the back of the receiver. Do not place objects on or leaning against
power cords.

2.2.5 Reliable Earthing
Proper mains earth grounding of the electronic rack system and rack mounted equipment should be maintained. To ensure
proper and reliable grounding of the XDS-PRO Receiver, the electronic rack system shall employ either permanently wired
mains connection or use pluggable equipment type B type wiring in a restricted access location with proper equipotential
bonding applied. The XDS-PRO Receiver includes a rear panel grounding stud for connection to the electronic rack ground
rails.
The XDS-PRO Receiver must be connected to an earthed mains socket-outlet.

Apparatet må tilkoples jordet stikkontakt
Apparaten skall anslutas till jordat uttag
Warning! Make sure all rack mounted equipment and the electronic rack system is properly
grounded.
2.2.6 Circuit Overloading
The XDS-PRO receiver can draw up to 1.5 Amps at 120 VAC as indicated on the back of the receiver. When adding the
receiver to an already existing rack setup, take care to ensure the maximum current rating of the circuit is not exceeded.
2.2.7 Foreign Objects
Warning! Inserting any type of foreign object into the ventilation holes of the receiver can result
in shock or serious injury of the operator.
If a foreign object is inserted into the receiver, immediately power down the receiver and contact ATX technical support. Do not
open the receiver, as doing so will void the receiver’s warranty.
2.3 Physical Installation of the Receiver
The following section will guide you through the physical installation of the XDS-PRO receiver.
2.3.1 Rack Mounting the Receiver
The XDS-PRO receiver has been speci cally designed for installation and operation in an EIA standard 19-inch equipment
rack. When mounting it in the rack, use pan or round head screws and  at washers in all four front panel mounting locations.
Caution! Do not paint mounting ears as it hinders the grounding path from the receiver to the rack.
2.3.2 Uneven Loading of Rack
When installing the XDS-PRO receiver in a free standing or unsecured rack, make sure to place heavier pieces of equipment
on the bottom and lighter pieces on the top.
Caution! Uneven loading may cause the rack to be unstable and hazardous.
2.4 Connecting the Receiver to a Satellite Dish
This section contains information required for connecting your XDS-PRO receiver to a satellite downlink.
2.4.1 Outdoor Antenna Grounding
Before attempting to install the XDS-PRO receiver, make sure the antenna and cable system is properly grounded to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
a. Use No.10 AWG (5.3mm) copper, No.8 AWG (8.4mm) aluminum, No.7 AWG (10mm) copper-clad steel or bronze
wire or larger, as ground wire.
b. Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with stand-off insulators spaced from 4 feet (1.22m) to 6 feet
(1.83m) apart.
c. Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where lead-in enters house.
d. A driven rod may be used as the grounding electrode where other types of electrode systems do not exist. Refer to
