DIGITAL FM STEREO PCD3666
MODELS: PCD3666-01 (White) PCD3666-02 (Charcoal grey)
DESCRIPTION
Microprocessor-controlled digital FM Stereo Tuner
Backlit liquid crystal display to view functions
Automatic tuningsearch, using FUZZY LOGIC thanks to which the search process is
extraordinarily quick. Remote scan. “Compact” series size and presentation.
If you wish to connect the tuner to the installation bus connect the 2-way connection into
the module. Connect the White/COM+ and Grey/COM- cable into the installation bus,
taking special care not to make a mistake in the order of the cables. This connection by
Bus will enable you to access certain remote mode functions, from controls that incorpo-
rate this function.
Note: To be able to correctly tune the stations, a good antenna signal is required. The
tuner incorporates two strips (ANT, M) for later connection of the outside antenna for FM.
(cable coming from the RF distribution). The wiring of the system must be mounted sepa-
rately from the electricity supply mains.
The tuner will enter into operation automatically when the system is switched on. After
start-up the display will show an initialisation message for a few seconds and will present
the frequency of the last station that was selected.
Warning: if no keys on the tuner have been used for 75 seconds, the backlighting will dis-
connect and it will show the last frequency tuned in. If we are in any menu option, we will
quit it.

MENU FUNCTIONS
SEARCH
To tune stations.
It enables us to choose between two types of search:
MEMORY: To search for a previously tuned station and stored in one of the 25
memory possible positions.
DIRECT: To tune a station and memorise it if we wish.
LEVELS
It permits establishing the minimum signal level that the stations, which we wish to auto-
matically tune in, must have. With this mode we will be able to choose between four
levels. When we make the automatic search, the tuner will stop at the stations that recei-
ve a signal of the same or higher level than the level that we have established in the tuner.
It permits 4 levels: Minimum: Level > 15 uV (Start option)
Middle 1 Level > 35 uV
Middle 2 Level > 75 uV
Maximum Level > 300 uV
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
- Menu can be selected in Spanish or English.
- 25 permanent storage memories
- Remote scan from any PC/PM control.
- Programmable type of scan (memories/tuning); in the first case, the scan will only
act upon the prerecorded memories.
- Protection against overloads in audio outputs.
- 4 search sensitivity levels, programmable between 15 mV and 300 mV
- Programmable mono/stereo
- Rear connection by screw strip for FM antenna input.
MODE
To select the type of audio signal
Two options: Mono: We must select this mode when our installation is Mono.
Stereo: (Start option). For stereo installations.
LANGUAGES
To select the language of the display messages
It permits 2 languages: Spanish. Start option
English
AUTO.
This mode enables us to automatically search for and memorise the stations in your area.
It will search and store in memory all the stations that it detects until it completes the 25
possible memories.
It is the simplest recommended method to search for stations.
REMOTE.
This menu option enables us to configure the tuner so that we can make a station search
from other controls of the installation (whenever the C+/C+ bus cables or the Scan 01 wire
are connected). It gives 2 options:
Yes: It permits the scan from other Controls (Start option)
No: It does not permit the change in stations from other controls, (it only admits
local scan)
CHANNEL
Option to assign the address of the channel, which the tuner is connected to.
This option is useful if used in installations with PC1307 controls and the C+/C- bus is con-
nected. The PC1307 controls will only carry out the scan on the tuner that is associated
with the channel, which, at that time, is selected on the control.
Channel 1 (Start option)
Channel 2
ERASE MEMORIES
Warning!: It enables us to erase the whole memory programming.
This function is reached directly by keeping the MENU/CLEAR key depressed for at least
3 sec. Options: Total: Erase all the memories
Partial: Erase only the memory chosen.

the menu.
-A memory scan will advance through the stations recorded on the memories of the
tuner.
-A tuning scan will make an automatic search based on the current frequency in
upward direction.
In addition, if we connect the tuner to modules with communications bus and if
these permit this, we will be able to:
-Make a remote scan through the bus. The tuner will inform the control of the fre-
quency it is on.
-Ask which frequency the tuner is on.
5. Assignment of CHANNEL1/CHANNEL 2
Only when the option with communications bus is installed.
In systems with domotic controls the address of the channel the tuner occupies is asso-
ciated with it, so that when a control has the tuner channel selected, it can carry out remo-
te scan and receive information of the frequency of the station that is tuned in.

Several types of installations can be carried out with the PCD3666 tuner:
1- Connection as centralised sound source: In this first case, the PCD3666 tuner sup-
plies 1 music channel to the whole system. The simplest installation would be in combi-
nation with a power supply source P3262 (diagram 1). Another possibility would consist
in using a main unit P3221 or P3261 with 1 musical channel, which an outside sound sour-
ce would be connected to (compact-disc, radiocassette, etc.); in this case the system will
have 2 channels.
2- Connection as local sound source: This type of connection provides an exclusive
tuner for one single zone (see diagram 2), thus having an additional background music
channel to those distributed throughout the whole home.
ANTENNA: If there is no 75-ohm antenna signal available in the installation, a 75 cm long
cable can be used as antenna.
In any case, both the tuner and the antenna must be located as far away as possible from
the electricity supply mains cables as well as from any source of electromagnetic interfe-
rences (household appliances, motors, fluorescent lights, halide lights, etc.)
Do not place this product in damp atmospheres, close to heat sources or in potentially
explosive atmospheres.
The connection to the electricity supply mains, installation, cable section and wire laying
will be carried out according to the specific directives and standards of each country.
