Digital ENDEC Manual Rev 1.0
Quick Start 7
1. Quick Start
About this manual:
The ENDEC has been designed to serve many types of users:
Radio Broadcasters
TV Broadcasters
Cable TV Head Ends
Emergency Services and Public Safety Personnel
Multi-station Locations
Heavy Users of EAS
Light Users of EAS
LP1/LP2 stations
Primary Entry Point Stations
As with many manuals, most of the pages are devoted to lengthy
descriptions of features that 90% of you won‟t ever use. Most of
the remaining 10% you‟ll only use once.
With that in mind, the quick start section will excerpt just those
instructions that everyone will use at least once. This section is sufficient to get the ENDEC installed on the
bench, so you can run a test or two. It also will tell you how to meet the minimum FCC Part 11
requirements. If you read nothing else in this manual, read this. You should read all of it.
You will eventually need to read the detailed sections on hardware and software setup. The Quick Start
section assumes you will be entering commands directly at the front panel. See section 7.1, “Hand Control”
for information on the hand held remote control.
To put things in perspective, look at the sample procedure sheet at the end of this section. Once the ENDEC
is configured with a few options, the procedures your staff needs to know are few. The procedure can be
simpler than your current EBS procedures, and the job of relaying the monthly test can be left totally up to
the ENDEC.
This version of the manual is aimed primarily at broadcasters, though the concepts are the same for all users.
1.1 What you need to know about EAS
The Emergency Alert System‟s primary purpose is to allow the President of the United States to gain access,
automatically, to the nation‟s broadcast outlets, to directly speak to the country in times of national disaster.
Secondarily, the EAS system can be used by the National Weather Service and State and Local level
officials to disseminate other types of emergency information. Your EAS encoder/decoder will receive
commands either directly from the source of the emergency information, or from a web of other broadcasters
in your area that will relay the information from the primary source.
You must test the equipment on the air at a random time and day of your choice each week. You must
receive and relay a test once a month that will probably be issued by one of the primary emergency sources
in your area. The ENDEC can be configured by you to send the weekly test with just one button (and a
second “I really meant to hit the first button” button). It can also be configured to automatically relay the
monthly test and any Presidential messages. To meet the minimum requirements of the FCC, this is all you
need to do: send a weekly test, relay the monthly test, and relay the Presidential messages.
You can also configure the ENDEC to relay other types of EAS messages, such as tornado warnings and
civil emergency messages.
All EAS message processing is handled by the ENDEC, and it always performs the following basic steps:
Digital ENDEC Manual Rev 1.0
8 Quick Start
1) Detect an EAS message and record the audio portion.
2) Decide whether to put it on the air. The ENDEC may do this automatically, or it may wait for operator
input, depending on the options you‟ve selected.
3) Put the alert on the air, by re-generating the EAS digital codes, relaying the recorded audio (which you
can replace or delete) and sending the end of alert digital codes.
All of this requires that you:
1) Place the ENDEC (or a remote relay) in the audio chain. TV stations need to have a character generator
in the video chain.
2) Hook up receivers or other source of alert data to the ENDEC monitor inputs.
3) Configure your ENDEC with the types of messages you want to relay.
Let‟s get started.
1.2 Bench Testing
Just a quick note here about bench testing. The ENDEC includes an internal speaker. Make sure the factory
installed jumper on the back on the ENDEC between the Speaker Out and Speaker In terminals is installed.
If you send an alert, you‟ll hear it through the internal speaker. All of the ENDEC functions except for relay
of a pending message can be bench tested. If you have two ENDECs, you can use one to send a message to
the other in a bench test by wiring the Speaker Line Out of one ENDEC to the Monitor 1 In of the other
ENDEC, and a second wire from any Audio Common of one ENDEC to an Audio Common on the other
ENDEC.
1.3 Hookup
An annotated diagram of the ENDEC front and back panels are provided in section 3. Refer to them if you
need additional information. You‟ll need to:
1) Connect power. Use the supplied 19V 3A power cube. DO NOT USE THE POWER SUPPLY FROM
THE ORIGINAL “GREY BOX” ENDEC.
2) Connect your monitor audio sources to the ENDEC monitor inputs, 0dbm audio level, not to exceed
2Vrms. Connect as many audio sources as you have monitoring requirements to the monitor input
terminals on the back panel of the ENDEC (one source per input terminal).
3) Put the ENDEC into the audio chain (after you have set the parameters and done some bench testing and
familiarization). The point of EAS is that the alert can go on the air automatically, so the ENDEC will
need to be able to switch out your program audio and switch in its alert audio. The easiest way to do
this is to use the included Main Audio IN and Main Audio Out XLR connectors on the back of the
ENDEC to place the ENDEC between the console and other station audio sources and the transmitter (or
STL). The ENDEC is usually placed before any audio processing1, see Figure 1-1.
4) If you are a TV station, place the character generator in the video chain and connect the ENDEC to the
CGEN with a serial cable. Cable pin descriptions are in section 12. Use MENU.DEVICES.PORT.DEVICE
TYPE.VDS CGEN or MENU.DEVICES.PORT.DEVICE TYPE.CODI CGEN
5) Connect any other options, such as hand held remote controllers or LED signs.
We have tested the ENDEC with processing. While it is probably possible to adjust (or mis-adjust) processing so that
EAS alert data will not pass through in a way that will be decodable, we had no trouble with processing during testing.
The FCC has certain minimum modulation levels in Part 11.

6) Enable the printer with MENU.CONFIG.PRINTER.YES and load paper into the printer, as described in
section Error! Reference source not found., “Error! Reference source not found.”. Paper feeds in
to the slot with the coated side down, see the diagrams in section Error! Reference source not found..

1.4 Customizing
Although there are many options in the ENDEC software, you only need to set a few to meet the minimum
FCC requirements. These are described in a minimal manner here, see section 3 for complete details.
The first time you power up the ENDEC (and every time until you set a local area), the ENDEC will flash
the “Automatic” led. This is an indication that an error message has been stored in the message buffer. Use
the MSG soft key to read the errors (scroll the messages with the up and down keys). The error message for
first time power up is “Local Area not defined”, which is described below.
1.4.1 Menu Basics
First, some menu basics. The four buttons on the front of the ENDEC are used in two ways - as soft keys,
and for menu navigation.
Most of the time, the bottom line of the four line LCD display is used as labels for soft keys, that is, the key
directly beneath the soft key label will do what the label says. The label will change depending on what
configuration you are performing.
Look at the ENDEC front panel. Once you turn on the ENDEC and it completes the self test, the display
looks like this:
04/28/96 15:32:14
MENU WEEK
MSG
This shows the time of day on the top line (in local, 24 hour format), and soft keys on the bottom line. In
this case, there are three keys, the MENU, WEEK, and MSG. The third button to the left does not have a
label in this example and is not used. If you push the menu button, you will then see the menu and will use
the four buttons as navigation keys.
Digital ENDEC Manual Rev 1.0
10 Quick Start
Once you push the “MENU” soft key, the display changes to this, called the “default screen”.
04/28/96 15:32:14
** go back **
-->*Alert
Printer Feed
In this mode, you use the physical lettering on the ENDEC front panel to identify the keys. To select the
menu item pointed to by „-->‟, press the key labeled “Enter”. To move down through the menu list, press the
key with the downward pointing arrow head:
Pressing the down key will change the above display into this:
04/28/96 15:32:14
*Alert
--> Printer Feed
Practice
To scroll upwards through the menu, press the key with the upward pointing arrow head.
To move up one menu level, scroll up until the „-->‟ points to ** go back** and press enter. You can also
press the second button from the left, between ENTER and .
Navigating menus is a process of selecting the item you want to do next. For example, to change the call
sign option, you want to select the configuration sub-menu.
1) Assume the ENDEC display shows the default screen. Press the MENU soft key (the left-most button)
to enter the menu. Then press the down key until you see the selection arrow pointing at *Config. Press
the Enter key to select it.
2) Next, scroll down through this menu by pressing the down key until the selection arrow pointing at “Call
Sign”. Press enter to select it.
3) You will be prompted for the Administrators password. The default password is „1111‟, press the enter
key four times.
4) You now see a screen with soft keys, labeled “done” “curs” “up” “down”. Use the “Curs” key to move
the cursor around. The cursor is the little underline underneath a character in the call sign. The
character above the cursor will be the character changed by the up and down key. Use the up and down
key to change the characters in the call sign from “SAGE” to your station identifier 2.
04/28/96 15:32:14
Call:SAGE
done curs up down
5) Press the “done” soft key to complete the process.
Note: While you are learning menus, it is a good idea to increase the menu time-out time. This is the
number of seconds the ENDEC will remain in the menu mode before returning to the default screen. The
default is 30 seconds. Use MENU.CONFIG.MENU TIMEOUT to change this value.
There are three other useful features in the menu mode.
1. If you hold down a key, that action will repeat. This is handy when moving from on end of a list to the
other, or when entering numbers.
The identifier can be any ID, from one to eight characters in length, that serves to identify you. Some State EAS Plans
will define what ID you are to use.
Digital ENDEC Manual Rev 1.0
Quick Start 11
2. The second button from the left can be used to go up one menu level, if it does not have a softkey label.
3. If you hold down the two buttons on the right, they will act as an “abort” and will take you to the default
screen.
1.4.2 Passwords
The ENDEC uses two passwords, a user level password, called “password”, and an administrators password,
called “admin”. The user password will allow you to originate or relay an alert, the admin password allows
you to modify the configuration parameters. A password is from 0 to 8 digits long, the digits are 1, 2, 3, or
4. You are prompted to either “enter password” or “enter admin” and are given four soft keys. Press the
numbered key to enter the password. The password unlocks access to the appropriate levels of the menu.
Access remains open until you exit the menus and go back to the default screen.
1.4.3 Menu Annotation Format
This manual uses a short hand format to describe the menus. In the call sign setting example above, you
moved from the menu level to the config level to the call sign level. In our short hand format this would be
abbreviated as MENU.CONFIG.CALL SIGN. Menu abbreviations always appear in this font. Another
abbreviation would be MENU.MONITOR SOURCE.MON 3 IN. This means: press the menu soft key, scroll to
“monitor source”, press enter, scroll to “mon 3 in”, press enter.
1.4.4 Doing the Minimum
You must perform at least the following setups. Each is described in more detail later in this manual. All of
the menu abbreviations are in the index.
1) Set the call sign, use MENU.CONFIG.CALL SIGN. A detailed example was given above in section 1.4.1.
2) Set your local area. This is the area that your weekly test messages will be sent to. It will also be used
as the location list for any filter or header that includes “local area”. To start, go to
MENU.PRESETS.LOCAL AREA. Then:
Select new to add a new location3.
You are prompted to select a state. Use the Next and Prev soft keys to scroll through the list of states, US
possessions are at the end of the state list. Select a state with Pick soft key. The state you select will be
remembered during this session.
You are then prompted for a county, island, or other state sub division. Use the Next and Prev soft keys to
scroll through the list of locations. The first choice is “all of” the state or possession, it would be
unusual to pick an entire state as your local area. Select the area with the Pick soft key.
You are now prompted with Done, Delete, or Division. Use Delete if your previous selection was in error.
Use Done if you do not want to pick a sub division. It would be unusual to use a sub division for your
local area.
Use the Done soft key again to exit the local area entry mode, or use new to add another location code to
your list. Some stations might serve more than one county as its local area. You can also add location
codes to specific input filters and output headers, the local area serves only as a short-hand for “my local
counties”.
3) Enable the printer. To use the printer, select MENU.CONFIG.PRINTER.YES.
4) Set the time of Day. Use the MENU.DATE/TIME menus. Set the following items.
Use the PREV key to view and delete previous entries.

If you want the ENDEC to account for daylight savings time, choose YES for
this option, otherwise choose no. Most locations will choose YES except for
states or areas that do not switch to daylight savings time.
Year, Month, Hour,
Minute, Second
Enter the current local time. If you are in daylight savings time, enter that
time, otherwise enter standard time.
By default, Mon1 and Mon2 will be scanned for EAS messages. If you use other monitor inputs, you must
select them for scanning as well, use MENU.CONFIG.SCAN SELECT, see section 11.43.
That is the end of the required configuration changes. Turn the ENDEC off then on to clear the blinking
Automatic light.
1.4.5 Sending a Weekly Test
The FCC rules requires you to send a weekly test at a random day and time. You need not send a weekly
test in a week where you relayed or originated a monthly test.
To send a weekly test, press the WEEK soft key at the opening menu, or the WEEK key on the hand held
remote control. Then press the Proceed soft key. This will send a weekly test for the location(s) you set in
MENU.PRESETS.LOCAL AREA. If you define the Manual Override input as “Hold Off”, the ENDEC will
work with your automation equipment to play the weekly test after the next commercial stop set.
1.4.6 Relaying a Monthly Test
The default filters will automatically relay an incoming Required Monthly Test that includes your local area
with a five minute countdown. This means that you can send the message sooner, or let it go automatically
five minutes after it came in.
To send the message sooner than the time-out period, press the pend soft key at the default screen. The
pend key will only be present if a message is pending.
To review the written contents of the message, use PEND.OPT.VIEW or use the default screen‟s MSG soft
key.. To send the message, use PEND.SEND. To hear the audio , use PEND.CUE. If you have a hand held
remote control, you can also use the “play now” key to send the alert, and the “cue” key to hear the audio.
1.4.7 Sample Instruction Sheet
Here is a starting point for a one page guide for station personnel for sending a weekly test and relaying a
monthly test. This procedure assumes that the audio and video is in-line so that the ENDEC has full control.
If you set the user password length to zero with MENU.CHANGE PASSWORD.LENGTH, the password prompt

is not given. This simplifies the procedure but adds a risk of unauthorized access. If you write the password
in the procedure manual, the point is somewhat moot.
Weekly EAS Test
Our station is required to send a weekly test message using the Emergency Alert System encoder. Once a
month, the monthly test is done in place of the weekly test. The weekly schedule is ________________.
To send a weekly test:
1. Push the button underneath the word “WEEK” on the ENDEC display screen.
2. Enter the password: 1111
3. You are now given a “Proceed” or “Abort” option. You have 4 minutes to start the weekly test,
otherwise the menu will time-out. When the time comes for the weekly test, press the button under
“PROCEED”.
The Outgoing Alert light will light. When it goes out, the test is complete.
Here is the text of a Monthly Test instruction sheet. Again, if you use the manual override input as a hold
off, the ENDEC will hold the monthly test until you want it to go, in either automatic or manual mode. The
Decoder Active Relay will close when an alert is pending. These instructions assume you have placed a
strobe light (that you supply) across this relay. See section 5.7, Relay Programming, and 4.7, “Relays” for
details.
Monthly EAS Test
Our station is required to relay a monthly test message using the Emergency Alert System encoder. Once a
month, the monthly test is done in place of the weekly test. The schedule is________________.
To relay a monthly test:
1. The EAS flasher will flash when any EAS message we have chosen to handle is received. Wait until the
entire alert is received - the ENDEC will display “P REQUIRED RMT” and a count down timer. If you
take no action, the alert will automatically play when this timer reaches zero.
2. If you want to relay the alert sooner, push the button underneath the word “PEND” on the ENDEC
display screen.
3. Enter the password: 1111
4. Press the button under “SEND”
5. You are now given a “Proceed” or “Abort” option. You have 4 minutes to start the relay, otherwise the
menu will time-out. When the time comes, press the button under “proceed”.
The Outgoing Alert light will light. When it goes out, the test is complete.
You may wish to add a step to review the audio before air - press the cue soft key before pressing the send
soft key. You can also replace the audio with your own on-air staff before relaying it, this is described in the
main section of the manual.
The instructions for relaying a live message are the same as Monthly Test, though you are more likely to
require a review of the incoming audio before relay.

Introduction to EAS 15
2. Introduction to EAS
This section describes the Emergency Alert System as mandated by Part 11 of the FCC rules. This section is
based on the EAS rules as they existed in early 1996. You should review Part 11, and any updates that may
be issued from time to time.
2.1 The National View
The Emergency Alert System is mandated by Congressional order and renewed annually by Presidential
decree as a method of providing the President of the United States with a vehicle for reaching the American
public in times of grave national emergencies such as nuclear war, impending asteroids or large scale
terrorist acts. To date, the Emergency Action Notification Network (EAN) has never been used by any
President of the United States and we all hope it never will be. In November 1995 the Federal
Communications Commission and the Federal Emergency Management Agency disassembled the EAN
which consisted of numerous broadcast and other communications networks linking the White House to
broadcasters. The current national EAS system is based on the President getting a message to 33 primary
entry point (PEP) broadcast stations which would then disseminate it to state primary stations and then filter
through the EAS network. Presently, the PEP network consists of a dial out conference bridge designed to
link the 33 stations via telephone line to the White House or wherever the President is. As a broadcaster,
you are obliged to carry any Emergency Action Notification (EAN) messages without delay. These
messages will last an indeterminate length of time, therefore you need to open the communications channel
and have the ability to transmit the digital data and the voice messages that follow for as long a period of
time as required. At the conclusion of the national alert an EAT or Emergency Action Termination message
will be transmitted closing the channel from the White House to the broadcast stations.
It is contemplated that this network will be tested periodically with a National Periodic Test (NPT) to verify
its readiness. There is talk about reestablishing some of the former network links as a backup to the PEP
network to reinforce the ability to get the messages to broadcasters if there is severe damage to the public
switch telephone network.
Participation at the national level is mandatory for all but Class D non-commercial educational FM stations,
and LPTV stations. You may petition the FCC to become a “Non Participating National” station, but you
must still receive and broadcast the EAN code, and then leave the air. Class D non-commercial FM stations
and LPTV stations do not need to transmit the EAN codes, but they must leave the air. LPTV stations that
are television broadcast translator stations only need not comply with part 11.
2.2 Your Local Area
FCC Part 11 mandates that each state must have a State Emergency Communications Committee (SECC)
made up of broadcasters, cable operators, the emergency management community and the public. The
SECC establishes a statewide EAS plan which must be approved by the Federal Communications
Commission. The State plan will detail monitoring requirements, interconnection between emergency
management and the broadcasters, and will set protocols and priorities for activating the Emergency Alert
System in your area. In most states, Local Areas will be defined within the state which will have their own
plans which tie into the State plan. These Local Area plans may be organized on a county or regional basis
and are designed for use in limited emergency situations. The operational plans may even define local
activation of EAS down to a city or community for very limited emergencies such as hazardous material
spills on highways and limited brush fires.
Your responsibility on the local level is voluntary. Good judgment however dictates that broadcasters and
cable operators will participate on the local level by transmitting severe weather warnings, hazardous
material release details, information about earthquakes and other natural and manmade disasters. It is
contemplated that EAS could be activated on the local level by a 911 center, a fire chief, or even a sheriff.
Digital ENDEC Manual Rev 1.0
16 Introduction to EAS
In the future, depending on your operational area plans, it may be possible for mobile vehicles belonging to
the police or fire department to activate the EAS and speak directly over the radio, television and cable
facilities for severe local emergencies.
2.3 Your responsibilities
As broadcasters and cable operators, you are obliged to follow the rules as stated in FCC Part 11. The only
mandatory requirements are that you have installed and made operational equipment capable of receiving
and transmitting EAS alerts. The utilization of this equipment is voluntary except for retransmission of
national EAN alerts and the transmission of required weekly and required monthly tests. There will soon be
a requirement to air certain other state alerts, consult Part 11.
The weekly tests will consist of digital data only and can be transmitted anytime of the day or night in weeks
when the monthly test is not conducted. The weekly test will have no test script, and no two-tone
transmission. The rules say that the weekly test will be done on a random basis at all radio, television and
cable facilities as a method of verifying the operation of the equipment and the communications networks.
The monthly tests will be coordinated with all broadcasters in a Local Area. The monthly test may
originate, on a rotating basis, at the National Weather Service, state, county and local emergency operating
centers and other locations where the EAS network can be activated or it may be activated by the LP-1
station. Broadcasters need only relay the monthly test within 15 minutes of receipt and log the receipt of an
incoming monthly test to be in compliance. Monthly tests will be conducted in odd numbered months
between 8:30 AM and local sunset and in even numbered months between local sunset and 8:30 AM.
Monthly tests consist of a digital header, 8 seconds of two-tone, a voice announcement, and end of message
digital data. State and local Communications Committees can set the schedule for the required monthly tests
in advance so that these dates can be noted on program logs.
2.4 The EAS Alert Format
The EAS system distributes EAS Alerts. The format of an EAS alert is standardized and is defined by the
FCC. The parts of an alert are shown in Figure 2-1.
Audio (sometimes
optional)
Two Tone
(sometimes
optional)
Time
Figure 2-1. EAS Alert Format.
The parts of the Alert are:
Header
FSK (frequency shift keyed) data at 520.83 baud, 2083.3 Hz and 1562.5 Hz tones. The
header is sent three times with a second of silence after each one. The header contains
encoded data describing the type of alert, and is described further below. Part 11 specifies
that the tones must modulate your transmitter at 80% of full channel modulation limits.
Digital ENDEC Manual Rev 1.0
Introduction to EAS 17
Two Tone
The old EBS alert signal, two simultaneous tones at 853 and 960 Hz. Again, Part 11
specifies that at peak modulation levels each tone must modulate the transmitter at no less
than 40% (80% combined peak). The Two tone signal is only required for Monthly Tests
and National Level messages (EAN and EAT). It is not required for weekly tests.
Audio
An EAS alert may include an audio message, if so, it appears here.
EOM
The End Of Message (EOM) data is sent here, a total of three times, using the same
transmission format as the Header.
Each of the three copies of the “header” in the alert is identical, and is made up of the following parts:
Preamble
Originator
Event
Location(s)
Duration
Time
ID
Figure 2-2. Parts of an EAS Header.
The parts are:
Preamble
A sequence of characters lasting about one quarter second, used to synchronize the data
stream.
Originator
Describes who originally activated the EAS. Included are Broadcast or Cable, Civil
Authorities, the National Weather Service, a Primary Entry Point station, or the national
level Emergency Action Notification Network.
Event
Describes why the EAS was activated. The FCC has defined several, mostly weather
related events. You can add new events, though they must be coordinated with your state
plan. See Table 5-1 in section 5.4 for a list of the pre-defined codes.
Locations
Describes the state or county that the event applies to. About 3300 locations are predefined. You can add new locations, though they must be coordinated with your state plan.
Up to 31 locations (including all of a state) can be present.
Duration
The length of time that the alert remains valid (starting at the origination time).
Time
The origination time.
ID
Eight characters that identify the sending station. Note that this will be the station that
relayed the message to you, and not the station that originated the message.
Depending on the number of locations, one repetition of the header will take one to four seconds to send, or
six to sixteen seconds for all three and the pauses.
There are many more subtleties of the EAS system. The ENDEC will handle the technical elements of the
protocol and signaling requirements. You should review Part 11 to make sure your station is in compliance
with the operational requirements of EAS.

22 Introduction to the ENDEC
If a user-supplied flash drive is inserted into the rear panel usb connector, the ENDEC will store the audio
from each alert sent or received. A typical alert requires 360kb of compressed audio, an inexpensive 4GB
flash drive will hold about 11,000 alerts, or 10 alerts a week for 22 years.

4. ENDEC Hardware Setup
This section describes how to set up the ENDEC hardware, including the printer, audio inputs and outputs,
and serial data inputs and outputs. Not all installations require use of all hardware features.
4.1 Printer
[TBS}
4.2 Analog Audio
The ENDEC has the following audio ins and outs:
Main Audio In,
Left and Right
Audio from your audio chain is inserted here, and is routed through a hardwired relay
that passes your audio in the de-energized state. The ENDEC does not need power to
pass your audio through. The ENDEC does not sample, pick off, or affect your audio
in any way in the pass-through mode. See Figure 4-2.
Main /Alert Audio
Out, Left and Right
The ENDEC passes through whatever audio is on the Main Audio In connectors until
an alert occurs. The internal ENDEC audio is then switched to these outputs. The
output is balanced, 600 ohms. The ENDEC output is fed to both L and R channels.
Speaker Out
Alert audio is also sent here. Speaker Out can also be used to monitor any of the
inputs except Main Audio In. Speaker out is jumpered to Speaker In with an external
wire on the main terminal strip. You can provide an external speaker/amplifier, or
you can route the Speaker Out to Speaker In through a console mute switch.
Speaker Line Out
A copy of Speaker Out with a separate level control.
Monitor 1 - 6 In
Six monitor inputs are provided. Each is monitored for EAS data. Use these inputs
for your monitoring assignments. Any audio source can be used, 600 ohms,
unbalanced, use any Audio Common for ground. Any level from 200mv to 2V can be
used, though all of the monitor inputs should be at the same level so that the output
levels from the stored audio are at the same level. Warning - do not use amplified
speaker level outputs to feed these inputs. Exceeding the 2Vrms level will result
in poor audio, exceeding 10Vrms will damage the ENDEC (specifically U33, U34,
U52, and U53).
Encoder Audio In
This input is the same as the monitor inputs except that it is not checked for FSK data.
This input is used to provide audio for real-time alert origination, or as an input to
record audio in either the two minute volatile store or the 10 or 40 second non-volatile
audio store. Warning - do not use amplified speaker level outputs to feed this
input. Exceeding the 2Vrms level will result in poor audio, exceeding 10Vrms
will damage the ENDEC (specifically U33, U34, U52, and U53).
Mic In
This is the only audio input on the front panel. It is meant for use in public safety
applications where a push-to-talk radio microphone is more common. Input level can
be as low as 16mv for high settings of MENU.LEVEL.MIC or as high as 170mv for low
settings of MENU.LEVEL.MIC. See section 12.4, “Microphone Connector” for a
description of the connector.
Table 4-1. Audio inputs and outputs.
Digital ENDEC Manual Rev 1.0
24 ENDEC Hardware Setup
In the normal state, the ENDEC passes audio directly from the input XLR connectors to the output XLR
connectors. It also monitors all of the input channels for alert activity. When an alert is heard, the ENDEC
stores the audio in the digital recorder. When an alert is originated or relayed, the ENDEC generates the
FSK data tones and two tone signals and replays the audio.
The ENDEC is designed to have the audio chain pass through, though you can supply your own remote
audio switch and drive the switch with one of the ENDEC programmable relays. Use a relay running the
PTT program, section 5.7, Relay Programming.

If you do not want to pass audio through the ENDEC, you may feed your audio switch or console from any
of these sources. The Main/Alert Audio out is only active during a live alert. The speaker and speaker line
out can be active at any time if the MENU.MONITOR SOURCE command has been used to directly monitor
any of the inputs. These inputs are also active when an alert is being received or when alert audio is being
previewed.

The XLR output levels are controlled by setting the levels of each element of the alert. Separate level
settings are available for the two tone signal, the FSK data, and the digital recorder playback. The high and
low tones of the two tone and the data are individually adjustable as “pre-emphasis” should there be any
“twist” in the transmission line.
4.3 Audio Levels
Refer to Figure 4-1. All alert audio passes through the ENDECs DSP processing section. The DSP sets the
levels for the data, two tone, and digital audio playback. These levels directly drive the XLR audio outputs.
The Speaker Out and Speaker Line Out levels use the DSP level as a starting point, and then apply a level to
the DSP output. If you use the XLR outputs, set the levels for them first, then adjust speaker out and
speaker line out.
To adjust a level, go to MENU.LEVELS. General menu access procedures are discussed in the quick start
section 1.4.1, Menu Basics. As a review, specific button presses will be given here.
1) Go to the default screen. The easiest way to get there from anywhere in the menu structure is to hold
down the last two buttons simultaneously. The default screen looks like this:

7) If prompted, enter the Admin password. The default password is 1 1 1 1, enter it by pressing the enter
key four times.
8) You are asked if you want the XLR relay to close while the level is being set. If you select Yes (by
pressing the key under “Yes”), the Main Audio XLR relays will close, routing audio to the left and right
output channels. If you route your station audio through the ENDEC this will replace your station
audio. Be sure that is what you want to do. The tone being adjusted will also be put on Speaker Out and
Speaker Line Out. If you choose NO (by pressing the key under “No”) the tone will appear on Speaker
Out and Speaker Line Out only.4
9) The level setting screen looks like this:
Attn Tone
MIN

Done Abrt
32
MAX
Up
Down
Attn Tone is the level being adjusted. “32” is its current setting. Levels range from zero to some
maximum depending on the nature of the level. EEPOT levels such as MIC, Speaker, and Line Out have
a maximum of 64. DSP derived settings have a maximum of 127. The number is an arbitrary linear
scale, as the actual volts seen at the port depends on the load. The black square () is the scale marker.
It shows where in the range of min to max the current setting lies. The marker will move to the right as
the setting is made larger.
10) Adjust the level by pressing the Up and Down buttons. Hold down the button to move the level more
quickly.
11) To abort without changing the stored level parameter, press the button under Abrt.
12) To exit and store the changed value, press the button under Done.
The levels that can be changed with the level menu are:
Speaker
The level of Speaker Out. Use the Monitor Source menu first to select a
source to play while adjusting this level.
Line Out
The level of Speaker Line Out. Use the Monitor Source menu first to select
a source to play while adjusting this level.
Mic
The setting of the microphone pre-amp level. The front panel Mic jack is
used for public safety applications. Broadcasters will normally use the high
level “encoder audio in” line. The microphone is switched to the speaker
during this adjustment.
Attn Tone
The aggregate level of the two attention tones. The Part 11 rules state that
the attention tone must modulate your transmitter at 80%. Each tone should
modulate the transmitter at 40% with no more than a 1dB difference in the
level of each tone. Each of the two tones has a separate level adjustment,
see Figure 4-3.
Attn Low Tone
The low Attn tone (853 Hz). :
Attn High Tone
The high Attn tone (960 Hz).
Note that the levels seen at Speaker Out and Speaker Line Out are also affected by the setting of the speaker and line
out levels.

Data Tone
The data tone level works in a manner similar to the Attn tone (Figure 4-3).
The tones are not combined, however, only one tone is on at a time. The
individual tone settings can be used to compensate for any twist in the
transmission levels. Set the individual tones to achieve the proper balance,
then set data tone to get the desired output level.
Data Low Tone
Data low tone, 1562.5 Hz.
Data High Tone
Data high tone, 2083.3 Hz.
Record Mon 1
Sets the level used by codec #1 to record into the digital audio store. The
default setting is recommended.
Record Mon 2
Sets the level used by codec #2 to record into the digital audio store. The
default setting is recommended.
Playback
Sets the level used for playback of the digital audio store. A single level is
used for all input sources. The various monitor inputs should all be at
similar levels before they reach the ENDEC. The default level is
recommended.
Attn Thresh
To avoid false detects, the DSP attention decoder requires a minimum level
for the received Attn signal. If the upstream ATTN signal is at a low level,
make the Attn threshold lower. If the ENDEC does not decode the Attn
signal, it is unable to filter it out of the stored audio and you will hear it on
playback.

4.6 Serial Ports
The ENDEC provides six serial ports that can be used for a variety of purposes. Each serial port is wired
like an IBM PC 9-pin connector. Pin outs are provided in section 12. The ports run at different baud rates.
Two of them can‟t be set for the two stop bits required by the LED signs. Table 4-3 describes each serial
port. Table 4-4 shows which of the supported ENDEC peripherals can run on which port. A complete list
of all device types is in section 11.50.

4.7 Relays
The ENDEC contains three relays, available through the back panel terminal strip. These relays are given
names that denote their default actions, but each relay can be assigned to any of the available relay options.
See section 5.7, Relay Programming, for a description of the programming options.
Each of the relays is configured as normally open. When energized, the relay connects the two inputs of the
relay together.
The relays can be used as closures for “ground to activate”
control inputs, as shown in Figure 4-5. They can also be used
to switch power, as shown in Figure 4-7. Do not exceed the
current and power limitations in Figure 4-6.

5. ENDEC Software Setup
The ENDEC has many options that will allow you to make the ENDEC fit into your station design and local
emergency plan. Every station will use the following commands to customize the ENDEC. Examples are
given below, the terse but complete description is in section 11, “ENDEC Command Reference”. You can
enter these commands using the ENDEC front panel display and buttons, or you can use the ENDECSET
program and a Windows PC to edit a configuration file. See section 5.10, ENDECSET program for details.
The road map you will follow in general is:
1) Set the call sign.(Section5.1)
2) Set the time of day. (Section 5.2)
3) Set the your local area location code(s). (Section 5.3)
4) Set output levels. (Section 4.3)
5) (optional) Customize the incoming filters to select the actions you want the ENDEC to take when alerts
are received. The ENDEC comes pre-programmed with filters for the alerts you are required to relay, the
Presidential Emergency Action Notification (EAN) and Emergency Action Termination (EAT), and the
required monthly test (RMT). (Section 5.4)
6) (optional) Pre-build common alerts you might originate. The ENDEC comes pre-programmed with the
weekly test, the only message you must originate.( Section 5.5)
7) (optional) Configure any add-ons, such as the hand held remote, a character generator, an LED sign, or
the multi-station relay panel. (Section 7)
8) (optional) Configure any of the programmable relays you might want to use. The relays can switch on
strobe lights or sounders that you supply, or they can interact with station automation equipment. (section
5.7)
9) (optional) Configure the manual override input if you want to use any of the switchable options such as
commercial tally (hold off non-required alerts until the end of a commercial stop set). (Section 11.61)
The descriptions below assume that you are unfamiliar with the ENDEC menu structure at the beginning, so
the descriptions include almost every button push. Later, the descriptions become more terse.
Note that the hand held remote control can be used to enter menu options just like the ENDEC front panel, see
section 7.1.5, “Using the Hand Control for Menus”.
5.1 Call Sign
The EAS message format includes an eight character identifier. In many states, the EAS State Plan will
specify your ID or a format to follow. If not, you can use the call sign of the sending station or anything else
that identifies you.
1) Assume the ENDEC display shows the default screen. If it does not, hold down the two buttons on the
right at the same time until the default screen appears. If you have a hand held remote, you can push the
 button.

2) Press the MENU soft key (the left-most button) to enter the menu. Then push the
selection arrow points at *Config. Press the Enter key to select it.
or down key until the
Digital ENDEC Manual Rev 1.0
32 ENDEC Software Setup
3) Next, scroll down through this menu by pressing the down key until the selection arrow is pointing at
“Call Sign”. Press enter to select it.
4) You will be prompted for the Administrators password. The default password is „1111‟, press the enter
key four times, or enter your admin password.
5) You now see a screen with soft keys, ”done curs up down”. Use the curs key to move the cursor to the
right. The cursor is the little underline underneath a character in the call sign. The character above the
cursor will be the character changed by the up and down key. Use the up and down key to change the
characters in the call sign from “SAGE” to your station identifier. The cursor will wrap around to the left
if you move it eight positions to the right.

done curs up down
5) Press the done soft key to complete the process. This will save the modified call sign in the non volatile
EEPROM, meaning it is saved across power outages (see section 3.3, “Memory - What‟s Saved and What
Isn‟t”).
5.2 Time
EAS messages are always sent with UTC time, UTC refers to an international standard of time that places
00:00 as midnight at 0 degrees longitude, for our purposes it is functionally equivalent to the old GMT. The
ENDEC always displays time as your local time, however. To allow the ENDEC to convert from local time to
UTC, you must provide the UTC offset to your location. A table of common offsets is provided below.
The Date and Time are set using the Date/Time sub menu. At the default screen, press the Menu soft key (the
enter button), then press (or the hand held remote down button) to scroll to Date/Time. Select each of the
following items and set each one. Then scroll through the list of possible settings for each item (usually a
number), use the More soft key to make the number larger, use the Less soft key to make it smaller. When
you have adjusted the item to what you want, press the Done key to store it in memory.
1) Set the time of Day. Use the MENU.DATE/TIME menus. Set the following items.
UTC Offset
The number of hours you must add to the local time to get UTC time, -12 to
+12. Always enter this with respect to standard time, not daylight savings
time.
Some typical values
Eastern Standard Time
+5 hours
Central Standard Time
+6 hours
Mountain Standard Time
+7 hours
Pacific Standard Time
+8 hours
Alaskan Standard Time
+9 hours
Hawaiian Standard Time
+10 hours
Locations east of the international date line use negative numbers.
Daylight Enable
If you want the ENDEC to account for daylight savings time, choose YES for
this option, otherwise choose no. Most locations will choose YES except for
states or areas that do not switch to daylight savings time. The ENDEC will
switch from Daylight Savings to Standard time on the last Sunday of October,
and to Daylight savings time on the first Sunday in April.
Year, Month, Hour,
Minute, Second
Enter the current local time. If you are in daylight savings time, enter that
time, otherwise enter standard time.

5.3 Local Area
The ENDEC is pre-programmed with instructions on what to do if a Monthly test is sent for your area, and it
is programmed to send a weekly test for your area. All you need to do is tell the ENDEC what your local area
is. The ENDEC contains all the state and country location codes (called FIPS codes in Part 11) that were
current in early 1996, and supplemented with the NWS marine codes from May 2004. You can add new
codes later with the settings upload program called ENDECSET. Building your local area is a process of
selecting state/county pairs that describe the area you are assigned to serve. The process of selecting location
codes is also used to generate alerts, and to build incoming filters and outgoing headers.
To select your local area, go to MENU.PRESETS.LOCAL. This format means that you press the soft key under
menu, then scroll with the down or button to presets, press enter, then scroll down to local and hit enter.
Remember, you may be prompted for a password.
You are now presented with

34 ENDEC Software Setup
Although your assigned area might be all of a state, this is unlikely. You will probably select a county. If you
do select all of a state, however, alerts sent with the local area list will contain the code for all of the state.
Alerts that come in will be matched if they are for any county in that state.
Scroll to the county you want and press Pick to select it.
You now see soft keys for:
Done - adds this county to the list.
Delete - aborts the addition of this county to the list.
Division - allows you to select a subdivision of the country. Select a subdivision in the same way you
selected the county by scrolling though the list of options and pressing Pick to select it.
Once you press Done, you go back to the Updating Local screen. Select Done if you are finished, or New to
add another location.
5.4 Filtering Incoming Alerts
An EAS alert consists of the following information that you can use to determine steps to take when an alert is
received.
Originator Codes
Broadcast or Cable source
Civil Authorities
National Weather Service
Primary Entry Point
Emergency Action Notification Network
The latter two are the stations that relay messages from the President.
Event Codes
The FCC has defined 53 codes, though you can add more with the
settings upload program called ENDECSET. Event codes are listed in
Table 5-1.
Location Codes
A list of up to 31 locations. A location is all of a state, a county in a
state, or part of a county in a state
The predefined alert types are listed below. If the provided Spanish translation is not suitable for your area,
you can use the ENDECSET program to specify a “new” alert with the event code of the alert you want to
replace. Enter both the English and the Spanish text.

Table 5-1. EAS Pre-Defined Event Codes.
For example, an alert might contain the following: National Weather Service, Tornado Warning, and
Allegheny County, PA.
You define actions for incoming events by defining a filter. A filter says “If an incoming alert is from this or
that originator, and is for this, that, or the other event, and is for any of these locations, then do this”. Or,
more precisely, each filter has a list of originators, events, and locations. If the incoming alert‟s originator is
on the list, AND if the event type is on the list, AND if at least one of the locations is on the list, then the alert
matches the filter.
Digital ENDEC Manual Rev 1.0
36 ENDEC Software Setup
You can build multiple filters to group alerts by the action you want to take. The actions are:
Action Code
Action
Automatic Relay
Relay the alert right away, even while it is still being received.
Timed Relay
Delay for N minutes, then relay the event. During the delay, you can review the
message, kill it or send it right away.
Timed Ignore
Delay for N minutes, then kill the event. During the delay, you can review the
message, kill it or send it right away.
Manual Relay
In automatic mode (see sections 11.15, “MENU.CONFIG.AUTO START” and 11.29,
“MENU.CONFIG.MODE”) Timed Relay will relay immediately. If you want the “hold”
delay to occur even in automatic mode, chose manual relay.
Log Only
Log the event on the printer, then kill it.
Table 5-2. Action Codes.
For example, you might want to have some events that you send right away (in fact, the FCC requires you to
do so), such as the Emergency Action Notification. You might also want to immediately forward events like
Tornado Warnings.
Some events you‟ll want to carry but delay slightly so they will fit into your programming, such as a hurricane
warning.
Some events you‟ll never want to automatically place on the air, such as winter storm watch.
Finally some events never go on the air at all, such as a received weekly test.
The ENDEC Filters give you full control over all aspects of alert relay. The ENDEC is pre-programmed with
these filters:

Edit:
Build a new filter. You are prompted for a filter name. Use the keys in the same
way as for setting your station call sign - curs to move the cursor, up and down to
select characters.
Quit this menu
Edit an existing alert. You will be shown the list of existing incoming filters.
Use next to scroll to the next filter, del to delete the displayed filter, or edit to
edit the existing filter. Once you select a filter to edit, the menu sequence is the
same as for “new”, except that the existing filter provides the default values.
Originators
Add originator codes to the list of originators to match for this filter.
done: Done adding originators to the list. If you press done without adding any
originators when first building the filter, the filter will match any originator.
new: Add a new originator to the list. Use next and prev to scroll the list, use pick to
select.
del:
Delete the displayed originator from this filter.
prev: Go back through the list of originators. Use this key to display an originator to
delete from this filter.
Events
Add event codes to the list of events to match for this filter. Use the same keys as for
entering originators.
Adding Locations
Add location codes to the list of locations for this filter.
done: Done adding locations to the list. If you press done without adding any locations
when first building the list, the filter will match any location.
new: Add a new location to the list. Locations are added in the same way that
locations are added to the local area (see section 5.3 “Local Area”. In addition,
you can select the spec soft key when it appears. You can then select local for
local area, all for all location codes, or new to see a list of location codes that
you have added with the DOS program.
del:
Delete the displayed location from this filter.
prev: Go back through the list of locations. Use this key to display a location to delete
from this filter.
Priority
Each filter has a priority. If an incoming alert matches more than one filter, the filter with
the highest priority is selected. Priorities are from 63 to 0, with 63 as the highest priority.
Only the EAN/EAT message should be at this priority. If the priority is greater than or
equal to 61, the alert can not be aborted while it is being relayed. If the priority equals
60, the alert will not override the manual override commercial tally (holdoff) feature after
15 minutes. It will instead wait until the hold off is released. Use this feature to hold
monthly tests if you are a daytime only station.
Select Action
Use the next, prev, and pick soft keys to select an action from the list. Action codes are
described earlier in this section, see also Table 5-2, “Action Codes.”
Attention
Duration
The number of seconds of attention tone that is added to this alert. EAN and the Monthly
Test are required to have attention tones. The attention tone that was present on the
incoming alert is removed, this parameter defines the length of tone present when your
station resends the alert.
Digital ENDEC Manual Rev 1.0
38 ENDEC Software Setup
Hold Time
The number of minutes that the alert will be held in the timed relay and timed ignore
modes.
NV Lead In
Use YES to add the contents of the NV audio buffer in front of the EAS header for any
alert selected for relay by this filter.
If MENU.CONFIG.NV AUDIO LEN is set to 10 or 40, that is, if the non volatile audio option
is present and enabled, the NV lead in prompt will appear. You are given three choices,
“Pick”, “Yes” and “No”. The display will show the currently selected setting, to keep it,
press the PICK softkey, otherwise select YES or NO.
YES will play the contents of the non-volatile audio before the EAS header data is sent.
This is typically used if the contents of the NV audio are “This is a test of the Emergency
Alert System”, you would select YES for Required Weekly Tests and Required Monthly
Tests, and no for everything else.
Crawl Only
If you have a device assigned to a character generator, you are asked this question. You
are given three choices, “Pick”, “Yes” and “No”. The display will show the currently
selected setting, to keep it, press the PICK softkey, otherwise select YES or NO. If set to
YES, the alert will be sent as a video crawl only - no audio or EAS tones will be sent.
This option should only be used for non-mandated alerts, that is, do not use it for weekly
or monthly test, EAN or EAT alerts.
Save 
Press save to save the alert, or abort to exit the menu without saving. If you need to go
back and correct an error, save the filter, then select MENU.PRESET.INCOMING and edit
this filter.
Table 5-4. Filter Prompts.
5.5 Outgoing Alerts
Outgoing alerts can be built “on the fly” or they can be pre-built and stored. When stored, outgoing events are
called templates.
A template can be sent from the MENU.ALERTS.ORIGINATE ALERT menu, or it can be sent from the hand held
remote control‟s one-touch keys.
When sending an alert from the MENU.ALERTS.ORIGINATE ALERT menu, you can build the alert completely
from scratch, or you can use a template to supply defaults. For example, if you wanted to send a thunderstorm
warning template, but wanted to add a location, you would select the thunderstorm template and edit it during
the preparation process. All three procedures, building a new alert, using a template to build an alert, or
building a template are closely related and follow much the same menu sequence.
To build a new alert (sends the alert, does not store it):
Select MENU.ALERTS.ORIGINATE ALERT, then select new.
To build an alert from an existing template (sends the alert, does not store it):
Select MENU.ALERTS.ORIGINATE ALERT, then select TEMPLATE. Use the next key to scroll the
list of pre-built templates, select one with pick.
To build a new template (stores the alert, does not send it):
Select MENU.PRESETS.OUTGOING, press new.
To edit an existing template (stores the alert, does not send it):
Select MENU.PRESETS.OUTGOING, press edit. Use the next key to scroll the list of pre-built
templates, select one with pick.

can be used to close a relay during the console active part of the alert. See section
5.7.1.
The NV (non volatile) audio buffer
Table 5-6. Audio Sources.
5.7 Relay Programming
The ENDEC contains three relays, available through the back panel terminal strip. These relays are given
names that denote their default actions, but each relay can be assigned to any of the available relay program
options. These options are described below. See section 4.7, “Relays” for a description of the relay
hardware. The relays can be used to control lights or sounders to let you know that an alert has come in and is
waiting for action, or that an alert is being sent by the ENDEC. The relays can also be used to control the
push-to-talk line of a VHF/UHF transmitter for non-broadcast origination sites, or for remotely controlling
audio switching. The relays can be used to provide control inputs to station automation equipment, signaling
the desire to transmit a message. The automation equipment can signal the ENDEC to proceed by using the
manual override input in the “hold off” mode. This combination allows you to run in automatic mode while
still avoiding interrupting commercials for non critical EAS events.
The use of the relay programming options can be considered an advanced feature, many stations will not need
to use the relays, or will use them in the default modes. The ENDEC is pre-programmed to use the relays to
announce the start of an outgoing alert, the receipt of an alert, and the receipt of the two-tone Attention signal.
The default use of the relays is described in this table, all of the details of programmable relays are discussed
in section 5.7.1, Relay Program Definitions.

5.7.1 Relay Program Definitions
A “relay program” is a sequence of events that can be assigned to a relay. Some relay programs add delays in
addition to opening and closing the relay at certain times. Figure 5-1 shows the timing of all the relay
programs. Each program in Figure 5-1 is shown as a timeline, moving from left to right.

The parts of the alert sequence are shown at the top:
Part Name
Description
Incoming Alert
An alert is received on any of the enabled monitor inputs (enable an input with
MENU.CONFIG.SCAN SELECT). The alert is not recognized until the second copy
of the header is received.
Automatic or
Manual Delay
Once an incoming alert is completely received, the ENDEC waits in this part of
the timeline until the alert is selected for forwarding. This time is zero for
EAN/EAT messages, up to 15 minutes for auto forwarded or manually forwarded
messages. At the end of this part of the timeline, the alert is ready to go.
Override Hold-off
If selected, the MANUAL OVERRIDE input on the back of the ENDEC can be
used to hold off the start of an alert. This is typically used with station automation
equipment to avoid interrupting commercials, network news, etc. MANUAL
OVERRIDE is ignored for EAN/EAT messages and other message types you
select with MENU.CONFIG.HOLDOFF IGNORE.
Digital ENDEC Manual Rev 1.0
42 ENDEC Software Setup
Relay Delay
The “delay pre”, “delay post”, and “PTT Pre” relay programs insert an additional
delay that can be used to prepare downstream equipment for the alert. If no relays
are programmed with these types, this part of the timeline is zero seconds long.
Relay Alert
The Alert is sent. The Main audio IN/OUT XLR relay is only closed during this
part of the timeline.
PTT Hang
If an “end pulse pre” relay program is selected, a delay is added after the end of
the alert but before PTT is opened.
Table 5-8. Timeline components.
The relay programs described below have open and close points that are relative to the timeline events
described above.
Relay Program
Name
Description
Pending
A relay assigned to this program is closed from the time an incoming alert is
detected and selected for forwarding until that message has been forwarded (or
canceled). Only alerts that have been selected for handling (Automatic Relay,
Timed Relay, Timed Ignore, Manual Relay) will trigger this relay. Alerts that are
not selected, or are Log Only, do not trigger this relay. Use this relay program with
a flasher or sounder to tell you that a message has been received.
Pending Done
Same as pending except the relay is not closed until the incoming alert has been
completely received. The message audio is not available for review until this point
(though the audio was available from the speaker as the message was being
received). Use this relay program with a flasher or sounder to tell you that a
message has been received.
Ready
An alert is ready to send, either because it has been selected for relay and the time
has expired, you have manually started a forward, or you have originated a
message. Use this relay program to signal automation that an alert needs to be sent.
ATTN Detect
A relay assigned to this program is closed when an ATTN signal has been detected.
The signal must be present for MENU.CONFIG.ATTN DECODE seconds before it is
detected”. Use this relay program to simulate the old-style EBS mode, see section
8.7, “Older EBS Equipment”.
ATTN Send
A relay assigned to this program is closed when the ATTN signal is being
transmitted. Use this relay program to simulate the old-style EBS mode, see section
8.7, “Older EBS Equipment”.
PTT
A relay assigned to this program is closed while the ENDEC is sending an alert. It
opens at the end of the alert, or at the end of the PTT Hang time, if a relay program
of type “end pulse pre” is assigned to another relay. Use this relay to key a
transmitter for non-broadcast applications, or to switch an external relay if audio is
not being run through the ENDEC‟s main XLR relays.
Digital ENDEC Manual Rev 1.0
ENDEC Software Setup 43
Relay Program
Name
Description
PTT Pre
Similar to PTT, except that the relay closes before the alert audio starts, that is, the
relay closes, and then the start of the alert is delayed until the number of seconds
specified is expired. You are prompted to enter the number of seconds to delay
when you assign this program type to a relay. Use this relay program if you are
switching audio externally, and wish to add a lead-in before the actual start of
audio, for example, a sounder for broadcast applications, or DTMF tones for
switching of downstream devices in off-air applications.
Delay Pre
Similar to PTT Pre, except that you can specify that the relay opens again at the
start of the alert audio or at the end of the alert. You are prompted to enter “end” or
“start”, and the number of seconds to delay. Use this relay program to trigger an
external device that needs to run just before the alert audio starts.
Delay Post
Similar to Delay Pre, except that commands are sent to the character generator
before the delay. For all other relay types, the character generator commands are
sent at the same time that the alert audio starts. This relay type is used to add a
delay after the character generator commands are sent to allow character generators
that have a long processing delay to be accommodated.
End Pulse Pre
A relay assigned to this program closes at the end of the Alert audio. The main
audio XLR relay opens at the end of the audio, but the PTT program relay (if
specified) is extended by the number of seconds specified by this program. The
relay closes (and the PTT relay closes) after the number of seconds specified by
this program. You are prompted for the number of seconds to delay when you
assign the program to a relay. Use this relay if you are switching audio externally,
and want to trigger an event to occur after an alert, but before PTT opens.
End Pulse Post
A relay assigned to this program closes when the alert ends, or when PTT closes if
it is extended by “end pulse pre”. It opens after a specified number of seconds. You
are prompted for the number of seconds to delay when you assign the program to a
relay. Use this relay if you are switching audio externally, and want to trigger an
event to occur after PTT opens.
Console PTT
A relay assigned to this program will close during the part of the alert where the
ENDEC is sending data or tones, and open when live audio can be inserted. Used
only when an alert‟s audio source is CONSOLE. See section 5.6.
MSG
A relay assigned to this program will close when a message is printed or added to
the LCD MSG buffer, it opens when the MSG buffer is read. Use this relay to
signal the operator that a new alert has been received or some action is required.
Table 5-9. Relay Programs.
5.7.2 Assigning Relay Programs
There are three physical relays, named “ATTN Active”, “Encoder Active”, and “Decoder Active”. These
names denote the default settings of these relays, and serve to identify the terminals on the terminal strip. Any
relay can be assigned any relay program however, and more than one relay can be set to the same program.
For example, if you wanted to key two different transmitters, you could assign the PTT relay program to both
“Attn Active” and “Encoder Active”.
Digital ENDEC Manual Rev 1.0
44 ENDEC Software Setup
There are also five “virtual” relays. You can assign programs to these relays, named EXT #1 through EXT
#5. Even though a physical relay will not click, the action specified will occur. Use this feature if you want
the side effect of the “relay” but don‟t need an actual contact closure.
Example #1: Assume that you have a character generator with very fancy fonts that needs 15 seconds to
prepare the crawl. You can assign “Delay Post” to EXT #1, and specify 15 seconds. This will add a 15
second delay after the character generator commands are sent and before the actual alert starts.
Example #2: Assume you want to add five seconds of dead air after an alert and close a relay during that five
seconds. Assign “End Pulse Pre” to “ATTN Active”, “Encoder Active”, or “Decoder Active” and specify 5
seconds.
Example #3. Assume you want to add five seconds of dead air after an alert as in example #2, put you don‟t
need to have a relay close (maybe you are already using all three). Assign “End Pulse Pre” to an unused
virtual relay instead.
To assign programs to relays:
1) Go to MENU.RELAY.
2) Scroll to the name of the relay you want, press the Pick soft key.
3) Scroll to the name of the program you want to assign to this key. The list will start at the current setting,
you may need to move up or down in the list to find the one you want. To select no activity for a relay,
select NONE.
4) If you select Delay Pre or Delay Post, you can select when the relay opens, either the START of the alert
audio, or the END of the alert. Select the appropriate soft key.
5) If you select Delay Pre, Delay Post, PTT Pre, End Pulse Pre, or End Pulse Post, enter the number of
seconds of delay you need, 0 to 60.
5.8 Random Required Weekly Test feature
The ENDEC previously included a “Timed RWT” feature that allowed you to specify a time and day of the
week to send a required weekly test (RWT). This was intended to allow you to set up a weekly test one week
in advance, but did require weekly interaction with the ENDEC.
The “Random RWT” feature allows a different time for each of the 52 weeks in a year. The ENDEC will fill
the table with random times when the feature is enabled, or when MENU.TIMED RWT.RESET RWT RAND is
used. The day, hour, and minute are settable, seconds are always 0.
You can print all of the times to the internal printer or external serial printer by using MENU.TIMED
RWT.PRINT RWT RAND. You can view and edit each time by using MENU.TIMED RWT.EDIT RWT RAND. The
ENDECSET program provides a more convenient way to edit the times.
To enable the random weekly feature, do the following:
1) Enable random weekly test by selecting MENU.TIMED RWT.ENABLE TIMED RWT.RAND. If you have
not previously enabled random weekly tests, a table of times will be built for you. If the random time
for the current week is earlier than one hour from the current time, the alert will be marked as already
sent. If you want an alert soon, you will need to edit the current week‟s time.
2) View the times by printing them with MENU.TIMED RWT.PRINT RWT RAND, or step through the times
using MENU.TIMED RWT.EDIT RWT RAND.
3) Edit the times as required by local agreements or common sense (avoid Super Bowl Sunday, perhaps).
Note on editing: as protection against software or hardware problems that might “hang” the ENDEC
software, the ENDEC uses a command timeout. When not sending an alert, if the ENDEC does not
return to the "idle state", (the top menu level) within 10 minutes, the ENDEC will reboot. You must
Digital ENDEC Manual Rev 1.0
ENDEC Software Setup 45
leave the edit menu and return to the top menu level (where “MENU WEEK” is displayed) once each
10 minutes, or the ENDEC will restart, and you will lose the changes you have made.
There are several reasons why you might not see an alert when you expected to, and several protections
against an alert occurring unexpectedly. A random RWT will not be sent:
1) if random RWT is not enabled.
2) within 60 seconds of a time change. This allows you to change all parts of the time
(year/month/day/hour/min/sec) and correct mistakes.
3) within one hour of the sending of an RWT by any other means. This keeps software errors, hardware
errors, or user errors from placing the ENDEC into a mode where it will continually send RWTs (for
example, a bad override input with override set to generate weekly tests). For example, if you set the
random RWT to occur soon, have it send, then reset the RWT time to again occur soon, the second
alert will not be sent. In some cases, the ENDEC can detect that you are trying to setup to send too
quickly and will display a error. You can reset this one hour check by using MENU.TIMED RWT.RWT
RESET.
4) if another alert is pending.
5) if a monthly test was already sent in the same week. A week starts at midnight Sunday local standard
time. For daylight savings time months, the week starts at 1:00am Sunday. If an RMT is sent after the
start of the week, but before a schedule RWT, it cancels the random RWT for that week.
The random required weekly test commands are detailed in section 11, ENDEC Command Reference.
5.9 Marine Location Codes

In addition, all of the “counties” defined by the NWS as of May 2004 (including codes scheduled to be placed
in service in July 2004) are included. Some of the names are very long, for example,
“Atlantic waters, beyond the 100 fathom line E of mouth of Rio Guajataca, S of 19.5N and between
64N and 68W, including the nearshore waters inside of 100 fathom line of the NW coast of Puerto
Rico, from Punta Cadena to mouth of Rio Guajataca.”
To avoid buffer overflows on the ENDEC, as well as on equipment attached to the ENDEC, a limit of 1000
characters (2000 if both English and Spanish are used) is set. If the length of the decoded alert string exceeds
this limit, the numeric FIPS code is used instead of the complete name. For example, most alerts will appear
as:

The size of the buffer was selected so that the longest combination of non-Marine alerts will always fit. Only
a large number of the longest marine codes will be abbreviated as above.
5.10 ENDECSET program
The ENDECSET program can be used to
Upload and download configuration settings from the ENDEC
Set the ENDEC Time of day.
Reboot the ENDEC
Edit configuration files
ENDECSET provides access to each setting on the ENDEC, including incoming and outgoing filters and
headers, custom event and location names, the RWT schedule, etc.
ENDECSET includes item by item help, accessed with the
tool.
ENDECSET can be called with a command line /t option to set the ENDEC time, which can keep the ENDEC
synced to your station clock.
To use the ENDECSET program, set one of the ENDEC serial ports to the ENDECSET device. Connect a
“null modem” serial cable (one that reverses pins 2 and 3) between a serial port on the PC and the selected
com port on the ENDEC. If your PC does not have a serial port, you‟ll need to purchase a USB to serial
connector from your local electronics emporium, and connect the null modem cable to that. Use the
ENDECSET Direct/Settings menu to select the PC‟s comm. Port and baud rate. The ENDEC‟s computer,
com2, com3, and com6 are usually 9600 baud, com4 and com5 are 1200 baud.
Using the ENDECSET Direct/Get Settings from ENDEC menu, save the settings from your ENDEC into a
file.
Edit the settings as required.
Using the ENDECSET Direct/Put This Settings File to ENDEC menu, send the editing settings to the
ENDEC.
Finally, use the ENDECSET Direct/Reboot ENDEC menu to restart the ENDEC.

This section of the manual will tell you how to perform certain common tasks in a “cook book” style. We‟re
going to tell you how to fry an egg, in other words, not all about long chain molecules, coagulation, and the
dangers of excessive cholesterol. All of that is in the reference part of the manual section 11, “ENDEC
Command Reference”
6.1 Weekly Test
Sending a weekly test is the simplest task to perform. The ENDEC is pre-programmed with a weekly test
outgoing header. If you have setup your local area (quick start section 1.4, “Customizing”) all you need to
do to get started is press either the week soft key on the default screen, or the WEEKLY TEST key on the
hand held remote.
If you have a password defined, you‟ll be asked to enter it. If the password is 1 1 1 1 (the default), press the
key under the number “1” on the display, that is, the ENTER button. If the password is 4 4 3 3 1, then press
the keys under those numbers, that is,
Enter.
Finally, if you are ready to go on the air, press the proceed soft key. If you are on the wrong plane, press
abort.
6.2 Relaying an ALERT
Relaying an alert is almost as simple. When an alert has been received, and has been selected for relay
(based on the filters that have previously been entered), the Incoming Alert LED on the front panel is lit, the
IN led on the hand held remote is lit, and one of the back panel relays may be closed (depending on options
you‟ve selected). This might flash a strobe if you have provided one.
The display will also show that an alert is pending by showing these two lines:
Length: mm:ss
P Filter Name mm:ss
Length is the total number of minutes and seconds that will be taken up by the alert, include the attention
tone, if any, the audio, if any, and the data (always present).
The mm:ss on the second line will be counting down.
P is a character than says what will happen to this alert when the count reaches zero and you do nothing in
the meantime.
P means it will be played. (p for play)
D means it won‟t (d for delete).
H means your station automation is delaying the message, usually because a commercial is
playing. The count down counts how long until the ENDEC plays the message anyway.
You can do any of the following:
1) Nothing. If it is an important message (as defined by whoever built your filters) it will play when the
timer expires. If it is not important, it will quietly expire and not play on the air.
2) Listen to the audio that came in with the alert if you missed it the first time. Press pend then press cue.
On the hand held remote, press cue.
3) Send it. To send the alert before the countdown hits zero, press pend then press send, then press
proceed (or abort to cancel).
Digital ENDEC Manual Rev 1.0
50 Typical Tasks
4) You can also get fancy and kill the message without playing it, or replace the audio with your own
(either recorded or live), or take audio from another source. See section 11.8, “MENU.ALERTS.SEND
PENDING” for details. The pend soft key will take you to the same menu that MENU.ALERTS.SEND
PENDING describes.
6.3 Originating an Alert
This is a somewhat lengthier recipe. Our assumption is that most broadcasters will be relaying alerts that
have originated elsewhere, therefore you won‟t be asked to originate an alert very often. If you are, you can
place the common alerts into named outgoing templates, or you can assign them to one-touch buttons on the
hand held remote control. If you find that you are acting as a emergency operations center (or you are an
emergency operations center), ask your distributor about the “ENDEC PRO” software package, which can
handle thousands of pre-stored alerts and canned alert audio files.
6.3.1 Originating with templates
With a little pre-planning, you will have a template already built for most of the alert types you‟ll be asked
to build on the fly. In this section, we‟ll assume that this has already been done.
Sending an alert, then, is a simple matter of selecting the proper template. Templates are a description of an
alert, its type (tornado, evacuation, etc.) and its location or locations. Templates are given names by you of
up to 12 characters. You can be descriptive with the name, or simply use it as something to look up in a
procedure book. For example, your book could have:
Template Name
Description
Tornado #1
Tornado Warning for Allegheny and Washington
Tornado #2
Tornado Warning for Allegheny
Tornado #3
Tornado Warning for Washington
Clearly, if you regularly issue your own alerts for combinations of 17 different counties, your book could be
unwieldy. Again, your probably won‟t be doing this, and if you are, ENDEC PRO is what you want. Let‟s
assume that you have a small number of possible alerts, and you‟ve built templates for all of them.
The best case is if you have a hand held remote control. It has 22 keys (including shifted keys) that can be
assigned to templates. One key push starts the process.
Originating with hand held remote:
1) Press the one-touch button for the alert you want to send. You don‟t have to be at the default menu
level, though if a question such as “proceed or abort” is being asked you will get an error beep.
2) You will be asked to set the duration of the alert. The display shows hours:minutes. Press more to
increase and less to decrease.5 Press done when done adjusting the duration. The default duration is
specified by MENU.CONFIG.DEFAULT DURATION.
3) Press Proceed to go on the air, or press abort. You will have four minutes to decide6. All other menu
options except proceed/abort time out sooner. See section 9.4, “Controlling Other Stations” if your
configuration includes a multi-station relay panel.
Part 11, the FCC EAS rules, specify 15 minute intervals for times less than one hour, and half hour intervals above
that. The display will only show you legal values.
All other menu options except proceed/abort time out sooner, set by menu.config.menu timeout.

6.4 Viewing, Reprinting, Sending Old Alerts
The ENDEC stores the EAS information from the previous 47 alerts that are sent or received from your
ENDEC. You can access this list to reprint messages lost if your thermal or external printer ran out of
paper. You can also use it to resend an alert that the ENDEC thinks was sent, but that didn‟t make it on to
the air due to misconfiguration of your audio path from the ENDEC.
To see the list of old alerts go to MENU.ALERTS.VIEW ALERT LOG. You will see:

Use Send to send the alert. You will be asked if you really want to send an old alert. You will be asked to
select an audio source. The ENDEC only stores the most recently heard audio. If you try to send an alert
from a week ago, you will probably not get the audio you want. To be sure you are getting the proper audio,
use MENU.ALERTS.PREVIEW AUDIO or the hand held remote‟s CUE button before going to the alert log
menu.
To actually send the alert, use the proceed soft key when it is displayed.
Part 11, the FCC EAS rules, specify 15 minute intervals for times less than one hour, and half hour intervals above
that. The display will only show you legal values.
All other menu options except proceed/abort time out sooner, set by menu.config.menu timeout.
Digital ENDEC Manual Rev 1.0
52 Typical Tasks
6.5 Killing a Pending Alert
In general, in the ENDEC, to “abort” is to stop doing what you are doing, or quite this menu to go up a level.
If you are in the middle of the send pending alert menu, for example, and use the abort soft key, you leave
the menu. The alert stays in the pending condition, though. Just because you aborted the pending menu
doesn‟t mean the you have deleted the alert. If it is on timed relay, it will be sent.
Sometimes, you want to make sure that a pending alert is not sent. To do this, you must KILL it. To kill an
alert, go to MENU.ALERTS.SEND PENDING or use the hand held remote‟s PLAY NOW key.. The soft key
choices will be Send Done Opt Kill. Use the KILL softkey. You will be asked if you want to delete
the alert. Use the DELETE key to delete (kill) the alert. Use abort to leave the menu. If you have a multi
station relay panel, use the STN soft key to kill the alert for stations other than your one.
If you have a hand held remote control, and an alert is pending, and you press the red ABORT key, you will
be taken to the KILL menu.
Important:
If you have started an alert, you must use the abort soft key or the hand held remote‟s ABORT button, and
then let the ENDEC stop the alert. It will finish any heard in progress, not send the spoken audio, and then
send the end of message data. You must allow the end of message data to be sent.
Once you have started an alert, stations that are listening to your station will being to process the alert. If
you panic and turn off the ENDEC, or turn the audio off at the console, the stations listening to yours will
not hear your ENDEC‟s “end of message” data. If they heard the start of the alert, they will wait for two
minutes before timing out. If they are unattended stations, they will then relay the alert with two minutes of
audio - whatever audio you sent after you turned of your ENDEC, placing your audio on their air.
6.6 Playing Incoming Alert audio as it is Received
The ENDEC will play incoming alert audio on its internal speaker and speaker line out port if you select
ALERTS as your monitor source. Use MENU.MONITOR SOURCE.ALERTS. The speaker will mute again
after the alert is received.

7.1 Hand Control (RC-1)
The hand held remote control is required if multiple stations are using a single ENDEC (unless all stations
are controlled from a single point). The hand held remote control will also make the ENDEC easier to use by
providing additional single-key commands. Note: if the serial number on your ENDEC is 3340 or less, you
will need to make the change in your hand control specified in section 7.1.4, “Modifying model RC-1 for
use with +5v ENDECs.”
The Hand Control is powered from the serial port ACC POWER line (pin 9). This pin is enabled with a
jumper. See section 12.2, “Accessory Power” for details.
7.1.1 RS-232 Hookup
The default baud rate of the RC-1 is 9600 baud. You can attach it to any of the 9600 baud serial ports
(Computer, COM2, COM3, COM6) using the provided serial cable. You can attach it to COM4 or COM5
by changing the hand control‟s baud rate to 1200 using the procedure in section 7.1.3, “Changing the RC-1
Default Parameters”.
7.1.2 ENDEC Setup
You must assign a device type of “Hand Control” to the serial port you want to use for each RC-1. Use the
following menu choices:
MENU.DEVICE.PORT.TYPE.HAND CONTROL
For “port” use the serial port you need, computer, com1, com2, etc.
If the RC-1 is not attached to the port before you assign a type, or if you ever power up the RC-1 after the
ENDEC is started, the RC-1 won‟t be “in sync” with the ENDEC. On the RC-1 (or the front panel) press the
ENTER key. This will refresh the display. Press “UP” followed by “ENTER” to return to the default menu.

7.1.3 Changing the RC-1 Default Parameters
You can change the RC-1 contrast and baud rate by the
following procedure.
SAGE
Alerting Systems
1) Disconnect the RC-1 from power by removing the RJ-11
jack at the base of the unit.
2) Hold down any RC-1 button.
3) Continue to hold any button and apply power by re-inserting
the RJ-11 jack. The RC-1 displays its firmware version, and
then displays “contrast”.

4) Using the UP and DOWN Buttons, adjust the contrast. You
must press and release the button multiple times to see a
change.
5) Once the display is at a contrast you like, press the OPTION
key. This will save the settings, even if the power is
removed.
6) The display now shows the baud rate. To change it, use the
up and down keys. Choose 1200 or 9600.

7) Use the OPTION key to save the setting.
8) The display now shows “DF: 8n1”. This is the only correct
setting. If you accidentally shift from this setting, use the
UP and DOWN keys to go though the options until you
return to “DF: 8n1”. Use the OPTION key to save the
setting. The RC-1 is now ready for use.

7.1.4 Modifying model RC-1 for use with +5v ENDECs.
To modify a hand control for use with an ENDEC with +5v on its ACC POWER pin (Serial number 3340 or
less), do the following:
1) Remove the back panel of the hand control by removing all four screws.
2) Remove the three terminal 5v regulator.
3) Solder a wire jumper at position “K” (just above the regulator).
4) Reassemble the case.

7.1.7 Using the Macro Buttons
Any key that is not pre-printed can be used as a “macro” button. When an outgoing template is built, you
can assign a “one-touch” key to the header. Pressing the “macro” button will send that pre-built header. To
assign a one touch key, press the designed key when prompted with “Enter One-Touch Key or Done”.
To send an alert, press the one-touch key. You will be prompted for the user password (if the user password
length is greater that zero), and then you will be prompted for the duration. Adjust the duration with the
up/down keys and press the done soft key. The default duration is specified by MENU.CONFIG.DEFAULT
DURATION. Then press the proceed key to send the alert. . See section 9.4, “Controlling Other Stations” if
your configuration includes a multi-station relay panel.
Each macro button can be used twice, shifted and unshifted.
7.2 LED Sign
The ENDEC supports both Beta-Bright and Alpha LED “marquee” type signs. The text of received and
transmitted alerts are display on the sign, in green for tests, yellow for watches, and red for warnings and
EAN messages.
To configure a sign on the ENDEC, Use MENU.DEVICES.PORT.DEVICE TYPE.LED SIGN. The LED sign
includes a serial cable/RJ-11 to DB-9 interface.
There are two additional options for LED signs:
menu.config.led sign mode
Sets display mode - horizontal crawl, vertical crawl. See
section 11.25.
menu.config.led sign
sound
The LED sign will beep when an alert arrives - it can be
disabled with this command. See 11.26.
7.3 VDS Character Generator
The information provided below on the VDS840EAS refers to the use of the VDS840EAS by broadcast TV
stations only. Use by cable systems is covered in the MHz Sub-Alert Manual9.
The VDS840EAS character generator from Video Data Systems can be used to provide the required alert
information crawl. The crawl is placed at the top of the screen as suggested by Part 11.
To use the VDS840EAS, simply connect a serial cable between any ENDEC serial port and the VDS serial 1
port. You need a 9-pin male on one end and a 9-pin female on the other end, wired as a null modem (2 and 3
reversed).
ENDEC Pin
(male)
Use (ENDEC Point

RxD (input)
TxD (output)
Ground
VDS 840 Pin

The VDS factory default is 9600 baud, use the ENDEC COM2, COM3, or COM6 ports, or change the VDS
baud rate jumpers to 1200 and use COM4 or COM5; 9600 baud is recommended. Assign the serial port to
the VDS device with MENU.DEVICES.PORT.DEVICE TYPE.VDS CGEN.
Cable systems can have two devices sharing the character generator, the ENDEC commonly uses serial port #2 rather
than #1 as discussed here, and it uses a relay for access arbitration.
Digital ENDEC Manual Rev 1.0
ENDEC Peripherals 57
The alert text will crawl with white characters on a background strip that is green for tests, yellow for
watches, and red for warnings or EAN/EAT. The color strip and text is keyed over video.
7.4 Chyron CODI Character Generator
The ENDEC can use the Chyron CODI to provide the required alert information crawl. The crawl is placed
at the top of the screen as suggested by Part 11. The ENDEC will directly support the CODI with a crawl,
no additional hardware or software is required. Third party software is available to provide enhanced
display features, in this case a PC between the ENDEC and the CODI is required. This section assumes that
you will directly connect the ENDEC to the CODI.
Use the serial cable provided with the CODI. You need a cable with a male DB-9 on one end and a female
DB-9 on the other, and pins 2,3, and 5 straight through.
The CODI rear panel factory switch settings are used, except for baud rate. Change the baud rate to 9600.
The version of the CODI current in 1996 uses 1, 2, and 3 down. Use a unit address of 0-0. All other dip
switches should be down.
Use the ENDEC COM2, COM3, or COM6 ports, or change the CODI baud rate jumpers to 1200 and use
COM4 or COM5; 9600 baud is recommended.
Assign the serial port to the CODI device with MENU.DEVICES.PORT.DEVICE TYPE.CODI CGEN.
The alert text will crawl with white characters on a background strip that is green for tests, yellow for
watches, and red for warnings or EAN/EAT. The color strip and text is keyed over video.
Use MENU.CONFIG.CODI MODE to select between two display modes, fancy and plain. Fancy modifies the
color strip with shading to give a 3D effect.
7.5 Monitor Radio Receivers
The ENDEC supports several audio input points on the rear panel (section 4.2), Monitor In 1 - 6, and
Encoder Audio in.. Levels should be 0.75 to 2Vrms at these inputs. Warning - do not use amplified
speaker level outputs to feed these inputs. Exceeding the 2Vrms level will result in poor audio,
exceeding 10Vrms will damage the ENDEC (specifically U33, U34, U52, and U53).
7.6 Modem Access
The ENDEC supports access via modem. The ENDEC DJ Lite program allows you to retrieve the alert log,
get and put the ENDECs parameter settings file, and set the time of day, for a single ENDEC. The ENDEC
DJ program allows full remote control of the ENDEC, including remote access to the front panel commands,
sending or forwarding alerts, and automatic log retrieval for any number of ENDECs.
You will need two modems, of course, one on the ENDEC side, and one on the computer running ENDEC
DJ. The ENDEC supports a Hayes Accura 56k compatible modem. Similar modems should also work,
though be sure to use a modem with an internal processor. Do not use a “win modem” for the ENDEC, as
this type of modem depends on a PC to perform most of the modem‟s functions.
You may use any “AT” command set modem on the PC side.
To enable the use of the modem, assign a modem “device” to one of the ENDEC‟s comm ports. See the
ENDEC Manual, MENU.DEVICES command. Use the “modem” device. You will also need to assign a
password for modem use, see the description of the MENU.CHANGE PRO PASS command below.
Be aware that the ENDEC can provide accessory power on pin 9 (see the ENDEC Manual, “Accessory
Power” in the “Connector Descriptions” chapter. Do not use a cable with pin 9 connected when interfacing
the ENDEC to a modem.
Digital ENDEC Manual Rev 1.0
58 ENDEC Peripherals
It is beyond the scope of this document to provide details on connecting specific types of modems to the
ENDEC. The following general comments apply.
The ENDEC uses this initialization string: ATV1&D0S0=0&K0. The ENDEC will answer the
modem on the first ring, do not attempt to share a phone line with another device or voice user.
The ENDEC expects only a “three wire” interface – RxD, TxD, and ground. Some modems will
want to see DTR. If your modem does not have an “ignore DTR” switch, you will need to build a
connector that loops the modem‟s DSR to its DTR.
The ENDEC‟s “COM3” port (and only the COM3 port) can provide a DTR signal on pin 4.
Further information is provided in the ENDEC DJ documentation.

8. Interfacing with other Devices
8.1 Raw EAS input and output
The “encoder” device can be used to send and receive raw EAS messages. The protocol is the same as that
specified in Part 11 for the synchronous EAS data, except that the line format is async, one stop bit. The
sync characters are expected on input, and are sent on output.
The encoder device sends a copy of all bytes that are sent by the ENDEC, that is, when the ENDEC sends an
alert. If you sent data to the encoder device, the ENDEC will interpret it in the same manner as it interprets
FSK data received on an audio port. If the data triggers an alert, the ENDEC uses the Encoder Audio In port
for the audio portion of the message.
The following text is a sample of the output of the encoder device. The „+‟ character is actually the EAS
sync byte, 0xAB.

++++++++++++++++NNNN++++++++++++++++NNNN++++++++++++++++NNNN
Use MENU.DEVICES.PORT.DEVICE TYPE.ENCODER to set an encoder device.
The “decoder” device will show the state of the EAS decoder at the time a message is received or sent.
The general format is:
:

Type is
local:
An alert is being sent by the ENDEC.
match:
An alert has been heard by the ENDEC and it matches an input filter.
nomatch:
An alert has been heard by the ENDEC and it does not match any filter.
dup:
This alert has already been heard.
For example:

A Broadcast station or cable system has issued a Required Weekly Test for Contra
Costa, CA beginning at 02:38 am and ending at 02:53 am (SAGE)
Use MENU.DEVICES.PORT.DEVICE TYPE.DECODER to set an encoder device.
8.2 Serial Printer
The ENDEC will print a copy of everything that it sends to the local thermal printer to an external serial
printer. Use MENU.DEVICES.PORT.DEVICE TYPE.SERIAL PRINTER to set an encoder device. The serial
printer will print even if the thermal printer is turned off with MENU.CONFIG.PRINTER.NO.
See section 12.1 for the ENDEC serial pin out, and consult your printer manual to determine your cable
requirements. When connecting the ENDEC to a PC as a serial data capture device, you will typically use a
“null modem” cable, as the pinout for a PC and the ENDEC are identical. A DB-9 null modem cable will
connect pin 2 to 3, 3 to 2, and 5 to 5.

60 Interfacing with other Devices
8.3 Alert Text Output (Generic Character Generator)
The ENDEC offers an output format suitable for use with devices that want to format alert data for display.
The most common use is for character generators other than those directly supported by the ENDEC (vds840
and Chyron CODI). The format is :

Where:
STX
0x02
sev
The severity of the alert. For the VDS and Chyron character generators, and
the ENDEC LED signs, the severity is used to set the color of the message.
'1' - 0x31 is most severe (tornado warning, EAN, etc.)
'2' - 0x32 is less severe (tornado watch, etc.)
'3' - 0x33 is not severe (weekly test, etc.)

8.4 News Room Software
Some stations have news room software, or other wire service software, that watches a serial data stream for
certain tokens. When these tokens are seen, the data is switched to certain terminals, or placed in files, or
other action is taken. To make it easy to interface the ENDEC with this type of software, use the NEWS
FEED device. Use MENU.DEVICES.PORT.DEVICE TYPE.NEWS FEED to set this device. When set, the
ENDEC will send alert and other status messages to this device. Each messages starts with

8.5 Commercial Tally
If you want to run the ENDEC in automatic mode, but don‟t want low priority messages to interrupt
commercials, the ENDEC has a “commercial tally” feature. If you can close (or open) a relay during the
time when you don‟t want an alert to interrupt programming the ENDEC‟s manual override Hold Off feature
can be used.
Use MENU.OVERRIDE USE.HOLD OFF to set this mode. Use MENU.OVERRIDE USE.ACTIVE POLARITY to set
the active state (open or close). Wire the relay on your automation equipment to connect the manual
override input to an audio common when the relay is closed, and to float manual override when your relay is
open.
If Hold Off is set, and active polarity is Closed, the ENDEC will hold alerts it wants to send while your relay
is closed. It will send the alert when your relay is open.
The maximum hold off time is 15 minutes. Hold off node is entered after the incoming filter‟s time has
expired. EAN/EAT alerts (the Presidential level) ignore manual override. You can also set other alert
types, such as Tornado Warnings, to ignore manual override by setting their filter priority higher than
MENU.CONFIG.MIN OVERRIDE PRIO.
A two step hold off process can also be initiated by the ENDEC. If your automation equipment can schedule
an interrupt, the ENDEC can close a relay to signal that an alert is pending. See the pending relay program
described in section 5.7, Relay Programming.
8.6 Daylight Only Stations
Stations that operate during day hours only are required to retain Required Monthly Tests that arrive
overnight, and relay them in the morning A special version of the hold off feature, called Hold Off Night
can be used. Use MENU.OVERRIDE USE.HOLD OFF NIGHT to set this mode. When the override is asserted,
monthly test messages will be held without regard to the 15 minute limit.
8.7 Older EBS Equipment
The ENDEC may be used to replace old EBS equipment in some cases. Old EBS equipment closed a relay
when the EBS two-tone signal was received. The ENDEC can be set to close one of the three relays when
the two tone signal is received. Normally, this occurs after channel scanning has been stopped by the receipt
of the EAS data tones.
The ENDEC will also close a relay if the two-tone signal is heard stand-alone, but only if just two channels
are selected for scanning. Any two may be selected, but only a total of two may be selected.
The two-tone signal must be received for the number of seconds specified in MENU.CONFIG.ATTN DECODE.
Set a relay to the “ATTN Detect” program with MENU.RELAY. See section 5.7, Relay Programming, for
information on programming relays.

Digital ENDEC Manual Rev 1.0
Controlling Multiple Stations 63
9. Controlling Multiple Stations
A single ENDEC can control several other stations by using one or two Multi Station Relay Panels (MSRP).
Each relay panel has four independently switchable relays. You can configure these with the ENDEC
software option MSRP.ASSIGN MSRP RELAY as either stereo pairs or as independent monaural input/outputs.
You can also assign more than two relays to a station, if, for example, you want to also switch a secondary
audio channel.
Two MSRPs can be daisy-chained to provide up to eight relays which can be assigned to a total of four
stations.
A station, as used here, is a collection of peripherals:
A control device, either the front panel or the RC-1 remote control
One or more MSRP relays or the ENDEC XLR relays
Possibly a character generator or LED sign
When the control device for a station initiates an alert, only the peripherals associated with that station will
trigger (though the operator has the option of also triggering other stations).

9.1 Station Numbers and Names
The ENDEC supports four “stations”, meaning a collection that can be separately triggered by an alert. In
this section of the manual, stations will refer to the ENDEC object called a station. “Transmitter” will refer
to your radio or TV station. The number of transmitters supported by the four ENDEC stations is up to you,
and is mainly determined by the number of MSRP relays you assign to each station.
Digital ENDEC Manual Rev 1.0
64 Controlling Multiple Stations
Station number 1 always owns the internal ENDEC XLR relays. It may also own one or more MSRP relays.
You can not assign the XLR relays to other stations. Only station 1 will be triggered by the manual override
input when it is used as a trigger for a Weekly Test (section 11.61).
You assign MSRP relays to stations by using the MSRP.ASSIGN MSRP RELAY menu. The back panel of the
MSRP labels the relays like this: 1L, 1R, 2L, 2R. Each relay can be separately switched. If a second MSRP
is used, the ENDEC will refer to its relays as 3L, 3R, 4L, 4R.
By default, the MSRP relays are assign to stations like this:
Relay Name
Station
1L
1R
2L
2R
3L
3R
4L
4R
This means that station 1 controls the internal ENDEC XLR relays. Station 2 controls the first pair of
MSRP relays, station 3 the second. If a second MSRP is present, station 4 controls the first pair and the
second pair is unused.
Assume you have a TV transmitter with a SAP channel (station 1), an FM transmitter (station 2), and a
mono AM transmitter (station 3), all controlled from a single ENDEC. You can support these with a single
ENDEC and one MSRP, with relay assignments like this:
Relay Name
Station
Use
XLR L
1 (fixed)
TV Main Channel Left
XLR R
1 (fixed)
TV Main Channel Right
1L
FM Main Channel Left
1R
FM Main Channel Right
2L
AM Main Channel
2R
TV SAP Channel
In this example, you would assign the character generator to station 1 with MENU.DEVICES.PORT.STATION.
9.2 Configuring the ENDEC for MSRP Use
To configure your ENDEC for use with an MSRP you will need to do at least the following:
1) Assign a comm port to the RELAY device, for example, DEVICES.COM4.DEVICE TYPE.RELAY. Use
either of the two 1200 baud ports, COM4 or COM5. Refer to the MSRP Installation Manual for
information on daisy-chaining two MSRPs.
2) Assign a comm port to the hand held remote control for each station. See the “ENDEC Peripherals”
section of the ENDEC manual for hookup information. Note that if you use more than two remote
Digital ENDEC Manual Rev 1.0
Controlling Multiple Stations 65
controls powered from the ENDEC accessory power, you‟ll need a heavy-duty ENDEC power cube. Set
the station parameter to the station number controlled by that remote.
3) Set the call sign for each station using the MENU.MSRP.STATION N.CALL SIGN menu.
4) Set MENU.MSRP.STATION N.ENABLE to yes for each defined station.
9.3 Controlling an Individual Station
Once the MSRP section of the ENDEC has been set up as described above, each remote control will by
default control only its station (as set by the MENU.DEVICES.PORT.STATION parameter for that remote
control). The ENDEC front panel always controls station 1.
If a button is pressed on any remote control, or the front panel, the ENDEC becomes locked for use by only
the control input (with the exception of the PRESET button, described later). The station that controls the
ENDEC is displayed on the first line of the LCD display for all other stations, for example:
LOCK WXYZ
MENU WEEK
MSG
The station in control (in this example, WXYZ) continues to see the time displayed on the first line. The call
sign displayed for each station is set by MENU.MSRP.STATION N.CALL SIGN.
By default, alerts originated or relayed from a remote control will only affect its station. For example, if the
week button or week soft key is pressed on the remote control for station two, only the relays for station two
are closed during the alert.
9.4 Controlling Other Stations
The operator can add other stations to any alert by using the STN soft key. For example, assume the WEEK
key has been pressed. If an MSRP is present, the display will look like this:
11/08/96
Proceed
12:23:33
Abort
STN
Press the STN key to get a list of stations to send this alert to:
11/08/96
12:23:33
Select WXYZ
Yes
No
(1)
Press Yes to add this station to the list to send to. If a station has already played the alert, it will not play the
alert a second time. The station number is displayed in parentheses after the station call sign to differentiate
between stations if the same call is used for more than one station.
9.5 MSRP Automatic Operation
Received alerts work in the same way in an MSRP configuration as they do in the single-station
configuration. If the alert matches a filter that is Timed Ignore or Timed Relay, the alert is displayed as
Digital ENDEC Manual Rev 1.0
66 Controlling Multiple Stations
pending on the display, and the countdown is shown. If a Timed Relay alert times out, it will be sent on all
stations with MENU.MSRP.STATION N.ENABLE set to yes. A Timed Ignore alert is deleted when the hold
time expires.
While an alert is in the pending state, each operator can elect to send the alert on his or her transmitter by
using the play now button or the PEND soft key.
To send the alert:
Press the PEND or Play Now button. If this is the first remote control to do so, the ENDEC will go into the
pending alert menu. If the ENDEC is already locked by another station, the LOCK message will be
displayed.
If the ENDEC is locked, press the PRESET button. This will place this station in a queue waiting to access
the ENDEC. Your position in the queue will be displayed on the LCD display:
LOCK WXYZ
MENU WEEK
q:1
PEND
MSG
The q:n shows your position in the queue, 1 meaning you are next (one station is in front of you and is
controlling the ENDEC), 2 means two stations are in front (one waiting, one controlling), etc.
If you are in control, proceed through the pending menu in the normal manner. If you are queued for
access, the remote control‟s LEDs will flash and a “you may proceed” message appears in the display. Press
the PEND soft key or the play now button to continue. You can relay the alert with the SEND menu, or you
can review the text with the OPT.VIEW menu, preview the audio with the CUE menu, or stop a timed relay
message from playing on your station with the OPT.DEL menu.
9.6 Unattended Operation
The ENDEC relays an incoming alert based in part on whether the ENDEC is in Automatic or Manual
mode. To review the concepts:
Automatic mode: The CONFIG.MODE parameter is set to auto, or CONFIG.MODE is set to timed and the
time of day is in the automatic range.
Manual mode: The config.mode parameter is set to manual, or CONFIG.MODE is set to timed and the time of
day is NOT in the automatic range.

In an MSRP configuration, MENU.CONFIG.MODE is an override for all stations. If MENU.CONFIG.MODE is
set to manual, then MENU.MSRP.STATION N.MODE will control each station. The action for each station is
the same as the above table with the following exception: If the incoming alert action is Timed Relay, and
config.mode is manual, and MENU.MSRP.STATION N.MODE is auto, the alert is not immediately relayed. It
is instead held until the hold time expires. This is to allow a manual station to pick the time it will send an
alert, rather than having to wait until the alert is sent on the unattended stations first. When the manual
station does send its alert, MENU.MSRP.STATION N.MODE AUTO stations will trigger along with the manual
station.

Cable TV Options 67
10. Cable TV Options
The ENDEC supports the MHz Sub-Alert to provide EAS to cable operators. Information on the Sub Alert
system is provided by MHz. The ENDEC commands that are specific to cable are described in this section.
10.1 Non-Volatile Audio Storage
When configured with the “Cable TV” option, the ENDEC has either 10 seconds or 40 seconds of
non-volatile audio storage in addition to the standard two minutes of volatile storage. Non-volatile audio is
audio that is retained even when the power is off. See section 3.3 for a description of ENDEC memory.
This audio is normally used to announce a “tune to” channel as part of the all-channel audio interrupt. It can
also be used as a lead-in “sounder” for broadcast stations. See section 11.31, MENU.CONFIG.NV LEAD-IN
for details.
10.2 MHz Sub Alert
For cable operation, you will need to follow the basic customization procedures. You‟ll need to:
Set the time of day (MENU.DATE/TIME)
Set the “call sign”, in your case, the cable system name (MENU.CONFIG.CALL SIGN)
Set incoming filters for any messages you want to automatically forward. ( MENU.PRESETS.INCOMING)
Set the desired mode of operation (MENU.MHZ SUB-ALERT.ENABLE), described below.
Set a character generator device to a serial port (MENU.DEVICES)
Set the presence of non-volatile audio storage memory (MENU.CONFIG.NV AUDIO LEN)
The commands to customize cable operation are discussed below. These commands adjust the basic cable
alert time line, which is shown in Figure 10-1. The parts of the time line are:
Attention Signal
The second Attention Signal is required for some types of alerts, and is optional for
others. This Attention Signal is part of the FCC requirements. The first Attention
Signal period is optional. It‟s length is controlled by MENU.MHZ SUB-ALERT.ATTN
DURATION and can be zero.
Tune To Audio
The contents of the non-volatile audio store are played at this time. This audio is
recorded by you using any of the audio inputs. This audio is retained across power
failures. The audio can be repeated any number of times, set by MENU.MHZ SUBALERT.TUNE TO REP.
EAS Header
The standard EAS header is repeated three times and is always present.
EAS Audio
The audio that came in with the message that is being relayed was stored in the two
minute audio store. It is relayed once at this time, and a variable number of times at
the end of the alert.
EAS EOM
The EAS end of message data is sent three times, and is always present.
EAS Audio Repeat The EAS audio is replayed the number of times specified in MENU.MHZ SUBALERT.REPEATS. It can be zero.
Several operations occur during the timeline. The decoder active and encoder active relays are pre-empted
for use by the sub-alert, any definitions for these relays specified in menu.relay are ignored. Settings for the
ATTN Active relay and the virtual relays are used. See section 5.7, Relay Programming, for information.

The Sub Alert specific commands are described below.
10.2.1 MENU.MHZ SUB-ALERT.ATTN DURATION
Sets the length, in seconds of the first attention signal. This signal normally occurs during the “all channel”
portion of the alert.
10.2.2 MENU.MHZ SUB-ALERT.MHZ ENABLE
The three Sub Alert modes are selected with this option. The menu choices are 1, 2, 3, and NONE. Mode 1
is used when the alert details channel is also a cgen channel run by the VDS 830EAS. The page queue is
maintained, and the crawl is restored after the alert. Mode 2 is used when the details channel is shared with
a normal video channel by a VDS 830EAS. Normal video is replaced with a fixed page and an EAS crawl
during the alert, and is restored afterwards. Mode 3 is used when the details channel is shared with a normal
video channel by a VDS 840EAS. In this case, the alert crawl is keyed over the video channel.
To disable MHz mode, choose NONE.
10.2.3 MENU.MHZ SUB-ALERT.REPEATS
This specifies the number of times the alert audio will repeat after the end of the formal EAS alert (EAS
Audio repeat in the timeline of Figure 10-1). This number can be zero.
10.3 MENU.MHZ SUB-ALERT.RWT MODE
Selects the action when a required weekly test is sent. Details sends the alert on the details channel only.
All Channel send the alert on all channels but does not send audio during the all channel portion. Normal
treats a required weekly test as if it were any other type of alert.
10.3.1 MENU.MHZ SUB-ALERT.TUNE TO CHAN
During the Tune To portion of the timeline, either a page specified by the user, or a page built by the
ENDEC is displayed, as specified by MENU.MHZ SUB-ALERT.USER PAGE. If the ENDEC page is used, the
text includes “Tune to channel XX for an emergency message”. This option specifies XX.
Digital ENDEC Manual Rev 1.0
Cable TV Options 69
10.3.2 MENU.MHZ SUB-ALERT.TUNE TO REP
Specifies the number of times the non-volatile audio message plays. It can be zero. You record this audio, it
usually contains a script such as “Tune to channel xx for an emergency message”.
10.3.3 MENU.MHZ SUB-ALERT.USER PAGE
You are given a choice of “yes” or “no”. If yes, page 98 is displayed during the “tune to” portion of the
timeline.

This command will clear the history log of old alerts. The last 47 alerts are saved in non-volatile
RAM where they can be re-issued with MENU.ALERTS.VIEW ALERT LOG.
11.2 MENU.ALERTS.CLEAR LED SIGN
This command will clear the LED sign of any message. Use to clear a long duration alert that is no
longer interesting.
11.3 MENU.ALERTS.ORIGINATE ALERT
Used to build an alert “on the fly”, that is, in real-time. The alert can be built totally from scratch, or
you can modify an existing outgoing template. A template contains an originator and event code, a
list of locations, and other parameters for the alert, such as audio source. See section 6.3,
“Originating an Alert” for details.
11.4 MENU.ALERTS.PREVIEW AUDIO
Hand held remote control key: cue.
This command will play the contents of the digital recorder, if any. The digital recorder contains the
last received alert audio, or the last recorded local audio. You can record local audio with

11.10 MENU.CHANGE ADMIN
The administrators password is changed with this command. The admin password is used for all
configuration commands. You are prompted for the existing password, then the length of the new
password. You are then prompted to enter the new password. Press the soft key under the numbers,
1, 2, 3, or 4, in the sequence you want. For example, to set the password to 12443, set the length to
five and press 1, 2, 4, 4, and 3 in that order. While you can set the admin length to zero, this is not
recommended.
The last step in the process is to re-enter the admin password, to make sure you and the ENDEC
agree on what it is. If you forget the admin password, you must use the procedure in section 13.3,
“Resetting the passwords” to restore the password to the default, 1111.
11.11 MENU.CHANGE PASSWORD
The user‟s password is changed with this command. The user password is used to send alerts, relay
alerts, replace audio, and feed paper through the printer.
You are prompted for the admin password, then the length of the new user password. You are then
prompted to enter the new user password. Press the soft key under the numbers, 1, 2, 3, or 4, in the
sequence you want. For example, to set the password to 12443, set the length to five and press 1, 2,
4, 4, and 3 in that order. You can set the password length to zero.
The last step in the process is to re-enter the user password, to make sure you and the ENDEC agree
on what it is. If you forget the user password, you can reset it as long as you know the admin
password.
11.12 MENU.CHANGE PRO PASS
This command changes the current password used for access by the ENDEC PRO and ENDEC DJ
software programs. This affects both the “PRO” device and the “MODEM” device.
It is not possible to display the current password. Each time the MENU.CHANGE PRO PASS
command is used, the password is randomized. You can modify the password using the softkeys.

If you are in a menu, but stop pushing buttons for this number of seconds, the ENDEC will abort the
current function and return to the default screen. The exception is the “proceed or abort” menu used
as the final step in sending an alert - this menu always waits four minutes. Use the more and less
soft keys to adjust the number of seconds, use done to select and exit the menu. The default is 30.
11.29 MENU.CONFIG.MODE
Selects one of the following modes:
Manual
The “timed ignore” and “timed relay” action types in filters work as
specified, that is, an alert is delayed for the number of minutes specified in
the filter‟s hold time parameter before action is taken.
Auto
The “timed ignore” and “timed relay” action types act as if hold time was 0,
meaning the action occurs immediately.
Timed
Auto mode starts and stops based on time of day, as specified in
MENU.CONFIG.AUTO START and MENU.CONFIG.AUTO STOP.
The default is manual. This is the same command as MENU.MODE.
11.30 MENU.CONFIG.NV AUDIO LEN
Sets the length of the non-volatile audio store. Select “10” for the 10 second option, “40” for the 40
second option, and “NONE” for none. The default is none. Non-volatile audio is an option that is
normally only present on cable-ready ENDECs, though it can be ordered on any ENDEC.
11.31 MENU.CONFIG.NV LEAD-IN
This option allows the non-volatile audio store to be used as a lead-in to the audio portion of an EAS
alert. Select “pre” to play the contents of the non-volatile audio before the EAS data header portion
of the alert. Select “post” to play the audio after the EAS data header portion of the alert. As this
will add audio to the actual alert audio, it should be used for special purposes only, not to add a
“sounder”. Select “none” to disable this feature. The default is none.
11.32 MENU.CONFIG.NWS HUNT TIME
The ENDEC detects two types of tones and “removes” them from the audio storage - the EAS
Attention Signal (the Two Tone Signal), an the NWS attention signal (1050 Hz tone). The ENDEC
does this by first noticing that one of the signals is present. If so, the digital recorder is “rewound”
and is restarted after the tone ends.
The ENDEC can not start a relay of an alert until it has determined that the tone will not be present.
Part 11 specifies the maximum delay time for Two Tone signal and the ENDEC waits for that
amount of time. The NWS does not specify a maximum delay for the 1050 Hz tone. At some NWS
locations, the insertion of the 1050 Hz tone is a manual step, and the delay can be 10 seconds or
more. The MENU.CONFIG.NWS HUNT TIME parameter sets the maximum delay time for the 1050
Hz tone detector.
The ENDEC will wait until the end of NWS hunt time before it will assume that a 1050 Hz tone has
not been sent. Setting this parameter too short will cause the 1050 Hz tone to be present in relayed

ENDEC Command Reference 79
long will cause delays in forwarding real-time alerts (such as tornado warnings) if the alert source is
not the NWS. The default is 20 seconds.
The delay is used only for channels identified as NWS channels with MENU.CONFIG.NWS SELECT.
11.33 MENU.CONFIG.NWS PRACTICE
The NWS sometimes sends an undefined location code, “999000”. To remove this code from the
expanded text of the message, select “no”, to show it, select yes. The default is no.
11.34 MENU.CONFIG.NWS SELECT
The ENDEC will remove the 1050Hz warning tone used by NOAA stations for weather alerts. If
you want the tone to be removed, select the monitor channel with the next soft key, then select yes.
This feature is available only on odd-numbered monitor channels, if you have an NWS monitoring
assignment, feed its audio to an odd-numbered monitor input.
11.35 MENU.CONFIG.OLD SCAN METHOD
Version 6.1 improves the method the ENDEC uses to scan the monitor in audio channels for alerts.
This command can be used to revert to the old method by selecting YES. The default NO should be
used unless otherwise instructed by ENDEC technical support.
11.36 MENU.CONFIG.ORIGINATOR
Sets the default originator, used when building new alerts or outgoing templates. The default is
“broadcast or cable”. The PEP and EAN choices are only available if MENU.CONFIG.ALLOW BUILD
EAN is set to yes.
11.37 MENU.CONFIG.PRINT ALL ALERTS
Select YES to print all incoming alerts to the thermal printer. Select NO to print only FCC required
events: Incoming RWT, RMT, EAN, EAT, and any message you originate or relay.
11.38 MENU.CONFIG.PRINT ZCZC
Select YES to print the EAS text string (ZCZC, etc.) along with the translated text of the alert.
11.39 MENU.CONFIG.PRINTER
Select yes to enable the thermal printer. The default is no.
11.40 MENU.CONFIG.PRO EXTRA STAT
When set to YES, enables sending of additional status information for use by the ENDEC Logger
program.
Digital ENDEC Manual Rev 1.0
80 ENDEC Command Reference
11.41 MENU.CONFIG.PRO READ ONLY
If set to YES, this option disallows input from the ENDEC PRO device. The result is that ENDEC
Pro, ENDEC DJ, and ENDEC Logger will receive status information only, but can not be used to
remotely control the ENDEC. This adds an additional layer of protection when accessing the
ENDEC via a LAN.
11.42 MENU.CONFIG.PROCESSOR LEAD
If you have trouble reaching the necessary output levels for the EAS header data portion of the alert
due to your audio processing, you can specify a lead-in tone. This tone will play for the number of
seconds specified by this option, and can serve to reduce compression and increase the modulation.
The default is zero.
11.43 MENU.CONFIG.SCAN SELECT
This option selects the channels that are scanned for EAS alerts. Select a monitor input with next,
then select yes to scan, or no to ignore.
11.44 MENU.CONFIG.STRICT TIME
All EAS alerts contain a start time and a duration for messages. If strict time is yes, messages that
have expired are ignored. If no, messages are eligible for retransmission even if they appear to be
expired. This feature is provided to compensate for stations or alert originators that allow their
station time to drift substantially away from the actual time of day. The default is no in versions less
than 5.30, yes in 5.30 and higher.
11.45 MENU.CONFIG.UNKNOWN FIPS
This option specifies what to do if an unknown FIPS code appears in an incoming alert. If no,
unknown locations are not shown in the expanded text of the alert. If yes, unknown locations print
as a number. The default is no.
11.46 MENU.CONFIG.VDS RELAY ON
The VDS character generator contains a relay. In the open position, video is passed through on a
wire, that is, the signal is not terminated in the CG, and is not modified by the CG. In the closed
position, the video is terminated in the CG. On loss of power, the relay opens.
In versions of the ENDEC software prior to 5.88, the relay is left open except when the ENDEC
wants to place a crawl on the screen. At that time, the relay is closed. This can add a glitch in the
video stream. Some stations prefer this to having the video terminated in the CG.
With 5.88, the MENU.CONFIG.VDS RELAY ON menu allows you to specify that the relay is closed at
all times. The ENDEC issues a close command to the CG when the ENDEC is powered up. This
option allows the ENDEC to run a crawl without causing a glitch in the video signal.
If MENU.CONFIG.VDS RELAY ON is yes, the relay is left on (closed) at all times (terminated and no
glitch). If no, the relay is normally in the open state (not terminated and glitch), is closed for crawls,
and is then opened again.
The default is NO.

11.57 MENU.MSRP.ASSIGN MSRP RELAY
The eight MSRP relays can be assigned to any of the four stations, numbered 1 to 4. Assigning a
relay to station 0 disables the relay. See section 9.1 for details.
11.58 MENU.MSRP.STATION N.CALL SIGN
Sets the call sign for this MSRP station. It is used in the “LOCK” message to show which remote
control is running the ENDEC.
If this station is the only station sending an alert, this call sign is placed in the EAS LLLLLLLL
field, and this call is displayed on the LED signs and character generator crawls. If more than one
station is sending at the same time, the MENU.CONFIG.CALL SIGN call is used. For MSRP
configurations, a generic group name should be used for MENU.CONFIG.CALL SIGN.
11.59 MENU.MSRP.STATION N.ENABLE
If enable is set to yes, the MSRP entries for this station are used, meaning the station will have
automatic alerts sent on it, and the station is presented as a choice to select for manual relay or
origination. EAN alerts, however, will throw all MSRP relays that have a non-zero station number
set in MENU.MSRP.ASSIGN MSRP RELAY, even if the enable parameter for that station is set to no.
11.60 MENU.MSRP.STATION N.MODE
Sets the automatic/manual option for this station. See section 9.6 for details.
11.61 MENU.OVERRIDE USE
This menu defines the use of the manual override input on the ENDEC rear panel. The following
choices are available.
Hold off
Holds a pending alert, for example, during a commercial. See
section 8.5, “Commercial Tally” for a description of the hold off
feature.
Hold off night
Works like hold off, except retains Required Monthly Test alerts
overnight, use for day only stations. See section 8.6.
None
Don‟t use manual override.
Send RWT
Sends the contents of the RWT template when the manual override
input is asserted. This template contains a required weekly test by
default. Only one RWT per hour can be triggered by the manual
override input, to avoid problems that could be caused by a faulty
triggering mechanism. The one-hour check can be reset by using
MENU.TIMED RWT.RWT RESET.
11.62 MENU.PRACTICE
This command is also available on the hand held remote control on the practice button (bottom row).
The remote control button will toggle in and out of practice mode. The menu command gives you a
Digital ENDEC Manual Rev 1.0
ENDEC Command Reference 85
YES or NO choice. If the ENDEC is in practice mode, the INCOMING ALERT and the
AUTOMATIC LEDs will flash, reminding you that practice mode is in effect.
The practice mode will let you practice sending an alert without actually putting the alert on the air
(though see the warning below). Practice mode only affects what happens when you send an alert.
Any changes you make to parameters while in practice mode ARE stored and DO take effect.
Warning: The audio from the practice alert is sent on both the speaker out and the speaker line out audio
ports. If you are feeding a live line from these ports, you will send audio to it. The content of this audio is
indistinguishable from a real alert. If you use the practice mode and live output lines, you should gate the
output with one of the relays running the PTT program. This relay will not close in practice mode.
Also, if you have the speaker line out connected to a monitor input of a second ENDEC, that ENDEC will
treat the alert as a live alert and relay it. If the second ENDEC is connected to a transmitter, the alert will
get out.
When sending an alert in practice mode:
The character generator is not activated.
The LED sign is not activated.
None of the relays, including the multi-station relay panel, are toggled. Relay program
side effects (see section 5.7.2), such as extra delays, do occur, however.
You can end practice mode by pressing the PRACTICE button on the remote, or by selecting NO on
the MENU.PRACTICE menu. Practice mode will automatically end:
After 30 seconds, unless you are in the process of sending a practice alert.
After any attempt to send a practice alert, whether you complete the process or you
abort.
If any incoming message is received.
The Incoming Alert and ATTN LEDs will stop flashing when practice mode is ended.
11.63 MENU.PRESETS.INCOMING
Use this menu to build or edit filters. Filters describe incoming alerts and actions to take if such an
alert is heard. See section 5.4, “Filtering Incoming Alerts” for a tutorial.

11.74 MENU.TIMED RWT.ENABLE TIMED RWT
Controls the automatic transmission of the required weekly test alert. The contents of the RWT
template are sent byt the ENDEC at times controlled by the settings of the “timed RWT” menu
items.
Choices for MENU.TIMED RWT.ENABLE TIMED RWT are:
Off – no automatic transmission of RWT.
Fixed - Permits the automatic transmission of the required weekly test at the time specified
by "RWT Day of Week", "RWT Hour", and "RWT Minute". Automatic transmission is
triggered when the time is reached, and will occur at the next time the ENDEC is in the top
menu level and no other alert is pending. This feature can be used to preset a time for the
next RWT. The FCC requires weekly tests at random days and times, this feature should
not be used as the only means of sending an RWT. Alert occurs on station 1 only. The
outgoing header named "RWT" is sent.
Rand – Selects the “random weekly test” mode.
The default is Off.
11.75 MENU.TIMED RWT.PRINT RWT RAND
Print all 52 weekly RWT times to the internal printer (if enabled) or any external serial printers.
11.76 MENU.TIMED RWT.RESET RWT RAND
Assigns a new random time for each of the next 52 weeks. This may or may not generate a RWT for
the current week – an alert will be generated only if the random time is more than one hour in the
future.
11.77 MENU.TIMED RWT.RWT DAY OF WEEK
Selects the time, in concert with "RWT Day of Week", and "RWT Hour" that the station sends the

12.2 Accessory Power
[TBS]
Figure 12-1. Location of Accessory Power Enable Jumper JP16.
Each ENDEC serial port provides regulated power on pin 9. Some ENDECs (serial numbers 3340 or less)
provide +5v, most ENDECs provide +8v. This is intended as the power source for the hand held remote
control, though it can be used for any purpose.
If you are using the standard ENDEC 15 volt/1 amp power supply, do not source more than 150ma from
the accessory power pin. If you are using more than two hand held remote controls, you will need to
power the third and fourth remotes from a 9V power cube.
The factory default is no power on the ACC PWR pins. To enable these pins, place a jumper on JP16.
JP16 is accessible through the printer cover plate, see Figure 12-1 and Figure 12-2. Remove the plate as if
you were changing paper. Lift the printer slider plate up (rather than pulling it forward). JP16 is

13. Troubleshooting
13.1 Blink Errors
If an error occurs in the ENDEC that requires operator action, one or more of the front panel and remote
control LEDs will blink. To turn off the blink, correct the problem and reboot the ENDEC, or use the
TEST.RESET BLINK ERROR menu. Here is a list of all “blink” conditions:
13.1.1 Incoming Alert (IN) LED Only
If the Incoming Alert LED is blinking, there has been an error with the ENDEC‟s self test. The error
message is in the MSG buffer, press the MSG softkey to read it. Power cycle the ENDEC, if the problem
recurs, call for service.
13.1.2 Outgoing Alert (OUT) LED Only
This is not an error condition. If the audio source for an alert is “console”, the OUT LED will blink during
the audio portion of an alert. The ENDEC has dropped out of line and the station audio chain has been
restored, that is, the operator should talk now.
13.1.3 Automatic (AUTO) LED
If the auto LED is blinking, an error message is in the MSG buffer, press the MSG softkey to ready it.
Messages and causes are:
13
Time is not set
The internal clock calendar chip has lost battery backup or was
otherwise reset, or the time has been set less than 1996 or greater than
2094. Fix the time and reboot the ENDEC13.
Used ROM defaults,
EEPROM corrupted
EEPROM Corrupted. The saved parameters have been corrupted. The
EEPROM chip does not need battery backup, this error is caused by a
hardware problem or voltage spike. The default parameter settings
have been restored - you will need to setup the ENDEC again, or
download saved parameters using the DOS software.
EEPROM D area bad hardware problem
Hardware Failure, the EEPROM can not be written. Call for service.
CGEN com port did not
respond.
The VDS character generator on the named COM port did not respond
to commands. This is usually a problem with the cable or the CG.
Check the cables, check power to the CG. You can test the access to
the CG by using the TEST.VDS CGEN VERSION menu. If a version is
returned, the setup is OK, if “no response” is shown on the ENDEC
display, the ENDEC and CG are not exchanging data.
Printer Jam
The Printer has jammed, or its fuse has blown. Once you clear the jam,
you must cycle power on the ENDEC to re-enable the printer.
Rebooting with test.reboot is not sufficient.
No Local Area
You must define a local area using the MENU.PRESETS.LOCAL AREA
menu.
To reboot the ENDEC, either cycle the power, or use the MENU.TEST.REBOOT menu.
Digital ENDEC Manual Rev 1.0
94 Troubleshooting
Validate Error
An EAS header generated by the ENDEC did not pass the check for
legal EAS messages. This is an internal software error.
EEPROM-D Corrupted
This message may also be followed by diagnostic information such as
“end tag missing” The EEPROM is not formatted correctly - voltage
spike or software problem. Call for service
Write Checksum Free
The EEPROM has a hardware failure, call for service.
Checksum error in
active alert table.
Software error or voltage spike. If it recurs, call for service.
13.1.4 Automatic (AUTO) and Incoming Alert (IN) LEDs
This is not an error, the ENDEC is in practice mode. The next alert sent will not close the XLR relays.
13.1.5 All LEDs Blinking
The EAN and/or EAT event codes are not present in any of your filters. You MUST have a filter for EAN
and EAT to remain legal under Part 11. Add the filter. It should have EAN and EAT for events, and EAN
and PEP for originators.
13.2 Common Problems
Here is a list of common problems that may save you a call to the service center.
ENDEC seems dead.
The LCD backlight is wired almost directly to the main power
input. If the backlight is not on (it should be bright
yellowish/green) suspect the power input (plugged in, right
power cube, power switch on)
The backlight is on but shows one or two rows of black squares,
the ENDEC CPU is not running. Call for service.
NWS 1050hz tone not removed.
You must select which channels you want to scan for 1050hz
tone. Use MENU.CONFIG.NWS SELECT (Section 11.34). Note
that the ENDEC can remove 1050
h Hz tones from only one channel at a time. In the unlikely
event that you have two NWS assignments, and both are
alerting simultaneously, you may get tone on the 2nd channel.
NWS tones are removed from odd-numbed monitor channels
only, assign your NWS inputs to odd numbers channels
(monitor in 1, 3, 5).
Alerts not received from a
particular monitor input.
The green terminal strip must be completely inserted in the back
of the ENDEC.
The monitor input must be selected for scanning, see
MONITOR.CONFIG.SCAN SELECT.
If the input is selected, the audio levels may not be high enough
for error-free decoding.
The thermal printer does not print.
Digital ENDEC Manual Rev 1.0
The printer must be selected with menu.config.printer
Troubleshooting 95
The paper must be inserted so that the coated side is next to the
print head. See section Error! Reference source not found.,
“Error! Reference source not found.”.
The time display is incorrect.
If the time is not retained across power off, the clock battery is
low. See section Error! Reference source not found.,
“Error! Reference source not found.”.
The ENDEC resets while I‟m
entering commands.
The ENDEC contains a watchdog timer that will reset the
ENDEC if it does not seem to be operating normally. If the
ENDEC does not return to the highest menu level (the default
screen) for ten minutes, and it is not sending a long alert such as
an EAN, the ENDEC assumes that it is in a loop and resets.
Thus, if you are in a lower level menu for more than ten
minutes, the ENDEC will reset. This is normal. To increase
the watchdog time, use the ENDECSET software program to set
internal.softdog to a larger value.
13.3 Resetting the passwords
If you forget the user password but remember the administrator‟s password,, you can select a new user
password using the MENU.CHANGE PASSWORD command.
If you forget the admin password, you
must reset it using the following
procedure. This procedure intentionally
requires physical access to the inside of
the ENDEC enclosure.
[TBS]
Figure 13-1. Location of the factory reset jumper.
1) Remove power from the ENDEC.
2) Open the top of the ENDEC by removing all six screws.
3) [TBS].
4) Both the user and the admin password have now been reset to 1111. Apply power and change the
passwords to the desired values with the MENU.CHANGE PASSWORD and MENU.CHANGE ADMIN
menus.
13.4 Resetting parameters to factory defaults
This procedure can be used if the ENDEC appears to be non-functional, either no LCD display or a frozen
LCD display. As this procedure will also reset the passwords to the factory default, it also requires
physical access to the inside of the ENDEC enclosure. You do not need this procedure if the self test fails
but you can access the menus. The self test does not depend on any user settable parameters, a self test
failure is most probably a hardware fault.
1) Remove power from the ENDEC
2) Open the top of the ENDEC by removing all six screws.
3) [TBS]
4) All stored parameters have now been reset. You must reset all of your customizations as if you had
just received your ENDEC. You can use the DOS parameter save/restore program to reload your
parameters if you had previously saved them.

96 Troubleshooting
13.5 Self Test
The ENDEC performs a self test each time it is powered on. During the first part of the self test, each
front panel LED is blinked, from top to bottom, then all are blinked at the same time. The self test then
routes audio from the output sections internally back to the input sections, using the attention tones and the
FSK data tone as test signals. The ENDEC also routes the audio through the digital audio recorder. This
tests the record/playback mechanism. Only the volatile section of the digital record is tested so that the
non-volatile section is undisturbed.
If the self test fails, the Incoming Alert LED will blink, and the failed test is stored in the message buffer.
When the self test runs at power up, the speaker output is muted. When it runs from the MENU.TEST.SELF
TEST menu, the speaker is not muted so that you can hear the tone.
There are no adjustments you can make to correct a problem that causes the self test to fail. Call for
service if the self test fails.
