3. First Aid
All personnel engaged in equipment installation, operation
andmaintenancemustbefamiliarwithrstaidprocedures
and routines.
3.1 Electricshocktreatment
3.1.1 If the victim is unconscious
Followtherstaidproceduresoutlinedbelow.
• Laythevictimdownonhis/herbackonarm
surface.
• the neck and tilt the head backwards to free
the airway system (Figure 1).
Figure 1
• If needed, open the victim’s mouth and check
for breathing.
• Ifthereisnobreathing,startarticialrespiration
without delay (Figure 2) as follows: tilt the head
backwards, pinch the nostrils, seal your mouth
around the victim’s mouth and give four fast
rescue breaths.
Figure 2
• Check for heartbeat (Figure 3); if there is
no heartbeat, begin chest compressions
immediately (Figure 4) placing your hands in
the centre of the victim’s chest (Figure 5).
Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5
• One rescuer: give 2 quick rescue breaths after
each 15 compressions.
• Two rescuers: one rescue breath after each 5
compressions.
• Do not stop chest compressions while giving
articialbreathing.
• Call for medical help as soon as possible.
3.1.2 If the victim is conscious
• Cover victim with a blanket.
• Try to reassure the victim.
• Loosen the victim’s clothing and have him/her
lie down.
• Call for medical help as soon as possible.
3.2 Treatment of electric burns
3.2.1 Large burns and broken skin
• Cover affected area with a clean cloth or
linen.
• Do not break any blisters that have formed;
remove any clothing or fabric that is stuck to
the skin; apply adequate ointment.
• Administer adequate treatment for the type of
accident.
• Get the victim to a hospital as quickly as
possible.
• Elevate arms and legs if injured.
If medical help is not available within an hour, the victim is
conscious and is not retching, administer a solution of table
salt and baking soda (one teaspoon of table salt to half
teaspoon of baking soda every 250 ml of water).
Have the victim slowly drink half a glass of solution for four
times during a period of 15 minutes.
Stopattherstsignofretching.
Do not administer alcoholic beverages.
3.2.2 Minor burns
• Apply cold (not ice cold) strips of gauze or dress
wound with clean cloth.
• Do not break any blisters that have formed;
remove any clothing or fabric that is stuck to
the skin; apply adequate ointment.
• If needed, have the victim change into clean,
dry clothing.
• Administer adequate treatment for the type of
accident.
• Get the victim to a hospital as quickly as
possible.
• Elevate arms and legs if injured.

The SDC200/RDS, manufactured by R.V.R. Elettronica SpA, is a RDS + Stereo
Codermodelwithdisplay.
The SDC200/RDS are designed to being contained into a 19” rack box of 1HE.
4.1 Unpacking
The package contains:
1 SDC200/RDS
1 User Manual
1 Mains power cable
The following accessories are also available from Your R.V.R. Dealer:
• Accessories,sparepartsandcables
4.2 Features
Il SDC200/RDS is fully digital, it use only high quality components like A/D and
D/A 24 bit converters and numerical processing (DSP) at 32 bit.
The input section includes XLR (R&L) and analogical BNC, as well as the optical
and coaxial digital inputs.
It is present a rescue system for R&L and MPX audio inputs (changeover).
The stereo coding is realized digitally, as well as the low-pass lters and the
preemphasis.
The RDS coder manages n. 6 data set and dynamic services TMC, TDC, IH and
EWS.
All functioning and programming parameters are managed through dedicated
software.

Two major features of SDC200/RDS are compact design and userfriendliness.
Design is based on a modular concept: the different functions are performed
by modules that, for the most part, are connected through male and facilitates
maintenance and module replacement.
This Stereo Coder uses a frequency sinthesized internal digital circuitry that allows
very linear modulation, high stereo separation, high input level capability.
The input/output analog section of good quality integrates oneself with digital
system answering for high input dynamics, high signal/noise rate and very low
distorsion.
4.2.1 RDS System Description
The Radio-Data-System is proper for the transmission of information in mono/
stereo programs of VHF/MF (87.5-108 Mhz).
Itsatisestherequestedrequirementstothetransmissionofsupplementarydata
on radio programs:
1) Compatibility with the current mono/stereo transmissions;
2) Absence of interferences towards the adjacent programs;
3)Compatibilitywithotheridenticationsystemswhicharealreadyworking.
The system, selected by an international specialistic team, allows the data
transmission at a speed of 1187.5 bit/sec with phase modulation at two levels ,
carrier wave 57 Mhz and range ±2 Khz.
The broadcasted binary signal is in advance put out on a differential
codication.
The registry of transmission is at packages of lenght 104 bits (87.6 ms) named
GROUPS, each of them composed of 4 blocks of 26 bits.
Every block is composed of 16 bits of information and of 10 bits of protection, which
are properly studied to allow the recovery of an erroneous word with a maximum
of 5 wrong bits.
Theyareprovidedwith16separeteblocksofwhich6arestillnotdened;every
group begins with a PI identication code (Program Identication) which has
the double intent to synchronize the receiver and to identify the channel which
transmits the signal.
The pourpose of the encoder SDC200/RDS is to manage the principal services
denedbythestandardCENELECEN50067as:PI,PS,PTY,TP,AF,TA,DI,M/S,
PIN, RT, EON, TDC, IH, CT.

As follows, we’ll mention a short description about the function of each of these
services.
PI-PROGRAMIDENTIFICATION:it’stheidenticationcodeoftheradio.Itsmore
important application is to allow the receiver, in case of bad reception, to implement
the “Automatic Frequency Change”; this happens when there is a signal with the
same PI and of better level than the syntonized one.
PS-PROGRAMSERVICE: it’s the visualized text on the receiver display, which
has to be of maximum 8 characters, as this is the standard dimension of receivers
displays.
The SDC200/RDS characteristic is to store up to 8 messages and the time of
transmission of each of them. Every message can be composed from 1 to 16 words
of 8 characters, and it’s possible to select the permanence time on the display of
each of the 16 separate words.
PTY - PROGRAM TYPE: it’s the identication of the “ProgramType” which is
on air (example News, Sport, Rock, etc.) It’s used to qualify on the receiver the
automatical research of the program type desired.
TP-TRAFFICPROGRAMIDENTIFICATION: this service indicates with a signal
onthereceiverdisplaythattheprogramwe’rereceivingincludestrafcnews.
AF - ALTERNATIVE FREQUENCIES: it’s the frequencies list of different
transmitters which transmit the same program in the adjacent receiving areas.
The list is memorized by the receiver and used to reduce the commutation time
beetwen the different transmitters of the same program.
TA-TRAFFIC-ANNOUNCEMENTIDENTIFICATION: it’ used to indicate to the
car-driverthatthetrafcnewsareonair.Thereceivercouldusethesignalinone
of the following modes:
a) To switch automatically from the Tape (or from the Compact Disk) to the
radio;
b) Toautomaticallyswitchontheradiowhenthetrafcnewsbegin;
c) To automatically change over from a station which doesn’t transmit trafc
news.
M/S-MUSIC/SPEECHSWITCH: it’s used to modify the music and the spoken
volume one by one.
PIN-PROGRAM-ITEMNUMBER: it’s used to plan the receiver to receive certain
programs at preselected date and hour.
RT-RADIOTEXT: it’s used to transmit the text trasmission; this function is mainly
for the domestic application (house receivers).

EON-ENHANCEDOTHERNETWORKS: it’s used to transmit the PI,PS,AF,PTY
to the PIN of other radios.
TDC - TRANSPARENT DATA CHANNEL: it’s used for the data transmission and
it could be free used, for example, to send messages on a brighltly sign.
IH-INHOUSEAPPLICATION: it’s used to transmit data of exclusive use of the
broadcaster and it can be utilized , for example, to send telemetry data, software,
etc...
