General Information
Manufactured to meet the highest standards in broadcasting, SmartGen 6.0 encoder furnishes
all the mandatory for this high class equipment features, at competitive price.
Since all DEVA’s products are manufactured to be user friendly in terms of operation,
SmartGen 6.0 comes with simple and reliable programming software: “SmartGen RDS/RBDS
Encoders Manager” and a password protected WEB interface for remote connection.
The local (RS232, USB) and remote (TCP/IP, UDP/IP) interfaces permit fast and full integration
of the RDS/RBDS encoder to the station’s other functions, including message streams for digital
radio and Webcasting. The LCD (2x40) text display and Intuitive Navigation menu are used for
on-site navigation through the menus, quick access to the parameters and the functions and for
altering of their values. In addition, the display visualizes the incoming raw data from the station,
just as the radio of your listeners does.
The need of highly-accurate time source is satised not only by the supported SNTP but also
by the built-in GPS Module. The used GPS technology provides means for synchronizing the unit
with UTC and makes the sub-second timekeeping possible and easy to achieve.
Another impressive feature of SmartGen 6.0 is the SNMP agent software component, which
reports information via SNMP to one or more administrative computers (managers). SmartGen 6.0
complies with SNMPv2C. The function SNMP traps or E-mail notication on user-dened alerts
is also available.
SmartGen 6.0 is supplied with two separate outputs – one for RDS+MPX and one for RDS only.
The two General Purpose Inputs are with user-dened functionality, allowing easy integration of
SmartGen 6.0 to the station’s needs. The four General Purpose Outputs are also user-dened and
allow easy management of external devices, when needed.
Based on the latest RDS technology, SmartGen 6.0 guarantees fully digital synthesis of the
RDS signal, with excellent quality and spectral purity. This advanced device is a cost-effective
solution for sending of TMC, EWS Services and song tagging via the supported RT+ function. The
device can ‘parse’ scrolling text, automatically breaking the phrases into word groups.
Supporting all RDS Applications, in conformity with the European CENELEC and the United
States NRSC standards, SmartGen 6.0 is fully compatible with UECP EBU SPB490 Version 7.05.
In line with the latest technology, SmartGen 6.0 is proved and reliable hardware for 24/7/365
operation.

1. USB Connector - B-Type, for interconnection with PC / USB 2.0 Communication Port
2. TA FLAG - This LED ashes whenever the TA ag is raised, either with a software command or with a switch closure. REMEMBER: the TA ag is
only temporary. It must be turned off as soon as the announcement ends.
3. GPS – When GPS is set as Time Sync Source and GPS x is available, the light will be ashing.
4. USB – Indicates that USB connection has been established
5. LAN – Will be lit when an Ethernet connection is established. The same indicator will blink when there is an Ethernet activity.
6. PILOT LOCK - This LED lights when the encoder has locked to the 19 kHz stereo pilot signal from the stereo generator, either in the sidechain or
the loop-through mode of encoder operation.
7. FREE RUN - Will be lit when no 19kHz pilot is present at the PILOT OR MPX INPUT, and the synchronization source is set to “Auto”, the encoder
defaults to a crystal-controlled internal timebase. This enables RDS transmissions with monaural programming. When synchronization source is set
to “Internal”, the FREE RUN led blinks every second.
8. RDS DATA - This LED ashes dimly as RDS data is being transmitted, serving as an indication that the encoder is operating normally. When
synchronization source is set to “External”, and no 19kHz pilot is present at the PILOT OR MPX INPUT, the LED ashes with period of four blinks
per second to indicate the absence of RDS signal at the encoder’s output. If the RDS output is set to OFF. The LED will not be lit.
9. RDS Quality –When the device is operating normally the indicator will not be lit. When there is presence of BER in the RDS signal, or the lack of
such on the output, the LED indicator will ash.
10. LCD Display
11. Navigational Buttons – UP and DOWN, LEFT and RIGHT and OK buttons are used to navigate through the LCD menus selecting various functions
and parameters.

OPERATING RECOMMENDATIONS
For normal operation of SmartGen 6.0, we recommend following the instructions listed below.
• Install the unit in places with good air conditioning. SmartGen 6.0 is designed to operate
within the ambient temperature range of 10 to 50°C. The equipment rack should be
ventilated in order for the device to keep its internal temperature below the maximum
ambient temperatures;
• We do not recommend installation in rooms with high humidity, dusty places or other
aggressive conditions;
• Locate the device away from abnormally high RF elds;
• Use only checked power supply cables. We strongly recommend the usage of shielded
cables;
• Connect SmartGen 6.0 only to reliable power supply sources. In case of unstable power
supply, please use Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS);
• Use the device only with its top cover on to avoid electromagnetic anomalies. Otherwise,
this may cause problems with the normal functionality of the unit;
• For the normal remote operation of the unit, connect SmartGen 6.0 to a good quality Internet
connection;
• For the normal operation of SmartGen 6.0, check if the network settings past through all the
required data trafc.
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (RFI)
Although we have made provision for SmartGen 6.0 installation in the immediate proximity of
broadcast transmitters, please do practice some care using the unit near abnormally high RF elds.

Unpacking and Inspection
Upon receipt, the equipment should be inspected for possible shipping damages. If such are
found or suspected, notify the carrier at once and contact DEVA Broadcast Ltd. The original
shipping carton box and packing materials should be kept for possible reuse, in case of return for
Warranty repair, for example. Shipping damages as a result of improper packing for return may
invalidate the Warranty!
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT that the “Product Registration Card” included in the Manual be
completed accurately and returned. This will assure coverage of the terms of the Warranty and it will
provide a means of trace in case of lost or stolen equipment. In addition, the user will automatically
receive SERVICE OR MODIFICATION INSTRUCTIONS from DEVA Broadcast Ltd.
Mounting
RACK REQUIREMENT
The SmartGen 6.0 mounts in a standard 19-inch equipment rack and requires only 1¾ inches
(1U) of vertical rack space. In order the painted nish around the mounting holes to be protected,
the use of plastic washers is recommended.
HEAT DISSIPATION
Having very low electricity consumption, the SmartGen 6.0 itself generates negligible heat.
The unit is intended for operation within an ambient temperature range, extending from freezing
to 120°F/50°C. But because adjacent, less efcient equipment may radiate substantial heat, be
sure that the equipment rack is adequately ventilated to keep its internal temperature below the
specied maximum ambient.
