The radio tuners item F500N can receive FM radio stations. The front pushbuttons and
the backlit display adjust the device locally, save 15 radio stations and display RDS
messages and the tuned frequency.
It is also capable of performing two types of station searches: manual and automatic.
The device can be managed (switching ON and OFF, frequency change, etc.) both locally
and remotely (via the SCS BUS) using the flush mounted amplifier, or the MY HOME
control devices (e.g. Touch Screen and Local Display).
In order to receive the radio channels correctly the type of antenna used must be
selected: if the F500N is installed in a zone of the building with sufficient signal
strength, the wire antenna can be used. If the signal strength inside the building is not
sufficient, the external antenna can be used (e.g. antenna installed on the roof), using
the coaxial connector and the appropriate adapter cable.The type of antenna is selected
using the configurator.
