During normal operation, control of the unit is handled via the FM Tuner or TV/FM Tuner local controls or via touchpanel controls. PWR (Power) This green LED illuminates when power is supplied to the C2N-TAMWX. COM This yellow LED illuminates when communication between the control system and the AMWX Tuner is established (the unit is polled on the network). Illumination indicates that the program currently loaded has a network device defined at the same ID as the C2N-TFM or C2N-TTVFM. The LED flashes or remains on when communication with the processor occurs. BAND Switch Use the BAND switch to select between the AM and WX (weather) bands. The corresponding red LEDs (AM, WX) illuminate as each band is selected, and the fivedigit display shows the appropriate values. MODE Switch, KJ (Up/Down) Tune Buttons, and Display Use the MODE switch to select between the signal, volume, and tune modes. Corresponding red LEDs (SIG and VOL) illuminate in the signal and volume modes. In the tune mode, the BAND switch selects between the AM and WX bands. In each mode, the five-digit display shows the appropriate values. In the AM band, with the signal mode selected, the up/down buttons are used to select the antenna source; the display shows a letter indicating the choice plus a two-digit relative signal strength (00 ­ 99): A = internal loop A, B = internal loop B, A· = internal loop A plus external AM antenna, B· = internal loop B plus external AM antenna. In the weather band, with signal mode selected, the display shows E plus the relative signal strength (00 ­ 99); the up/down buttons are not used. In the volume mode, the up/down buttons select ten volume levels (0 through 9) for the signal (mono) supplied to the headphone jack. In the tune mode, the up/down buttons let you sequence through the band frequencies in 10 kHz increments. (The frequency scan and step rate can be changed via the program from 10 kHz to 9 kHz, the rate needed in European radios. ) Industry Compliance As of the date of manufacture, the C2N-TAMWX has been tested and found to comply with specifications for CE marking and standards per EMC and Radiocommunications Compliance Labelling (N11785). 6 · AM/Weather Band Tuner: C2N-TAMWX Operations Guide - DOC. Use headphones to monitor the audio signal during installation, turning the AMWX Tuner as necessary for best AM reception. You may wish to use an optional external long wire or dipole AM antenna in addition to the built in antenna. However, this is recommended only in fringe reception areas. An external antenna can increase a distant signal, but will reduce the radio's directivity. A high-gain TV antenna cable (not supplied) or a fabricated cable (refer to the following figure) is required for reception of weather band stations. Adjust the antenna's direction to obtain the best weather station reception. Fabricated Cable for Weather Channel Internal Antenna Calibration After placing the AMWX Tuner in position, disconnect the CAT5 cable to remove power, press and hold the BAND and MODE buttons simultaneously, and reconnect the CAT5 cable to supply power to the radio. The display will show Auto and then rapidly show a series of alphanumeric characters as the radio calibrates the antenna and memorizes the best selections of the A and B loops.
