Introduction
SourceCon™ Bluetooth receiver module
The BMP42 is a professional Bluetooth receiver module featuring SourceCon™ modular technology. This unique technology
guarantees true plug & play implementation to any compatible device. When inserted to a supporting slot, the module is instantly
installed, discovered and ready for operation without requiring any additional internal wiring or complex conguration.
The BMP42 receiver offers wireless connection possibilities for audio playback from any Bluetooth compatible portable device
including laptops, smartphones, tablets or any other. Long-range transmission distance (up to 30 meters in an unobstructed open
area) is possible depending on the installed environment. Device discovery and pairing protection with a storage up to 8 authorized
devices shall prevent playback from unauthorized users in public area’s.
All media information such as track and artist information can be retrieved from the BMP42 (if supported by the connected device,
more info on P15: technical specications), while playback control is possible from the connected device or remote control.
The antenna input is implemented by an SMA-type (50 Ω) connector on its panel, allowing connection of the included (2 dBi)
antenna while extension is possible in situations where its installed in a closed / shielded cabinet. The balanced stereo line output
is connected through two 3-pin terminal block connections.

FCC - NOTE
Note: The Grantee is not responsible for any changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance. Such modications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. The OEM integrator is still responsible
for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example co-location with another transmitter),
then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID can not be used on the nal product. In these
circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and
obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module
in the user’s manual of the end product which integrates this module. The BMP42 module is designed to comply with the FCC
statement. FCC ID is 2AVCN-BMP42. The host system using BMP42, should have label indicated it contain modular’s FCC ID:
2AVCN-BMP42. The device has been evaluated to meet general RF exposure requirement. To maintain compliance with FCC’s
RF exposure guidelines, the distance must be at least 20 cm between the radiator and your body, and fully supported by the
operating and installation congurations of transmitter and its antenna(s).

Overview BMP42
The BMP42 is a SourceCon™ compatible module featuring an (internal) board-edge connector which carries all signals for
getting it connected to any supporting main unit.
All external in & output connections shall be made using the available connectors on the panel.
1) Balanced stereo line output:
The balanced stereo line output is implemented using two 3-pin terminal block connectors. The audio output available on
this connector allows it to be fed to any amplier or pre-amplier.
2) SMA-type antenna connection:
The antenna (input) connection is implemented using an SMA-type (male) connector whereto the supplied antenna should
get connected. Depending of the installation conditions (e.g. when installed in a closed / shielded cabinet), it can be extended
using optional available accessories for optimal reception conditions.
3) Connection external pairing contacts:
When the BMP42 is installed in a device located in something
like a locked rack, it may be difcult to enable Bluetooth pairing
for new devices. For this purpose, an external pairing connector
can be connected that contains the combination LED and button.
When the button is pressed, Bluetooth pairing is enabled. This is
conrmed by the ashing of the LED.
If a device was connected, the connection is broken. The LED will
icker for 60 seconds and the BMP42 is visible to make a (new)
connection. If a device connects, the LED will remain lit. After 60
seconds without connection, the BMP42 is no longer visible to
new devices but old devices can still connect. After 60 seconds
the LED will be off.
The connection can be made according to this wiring diagram:

Using the BMP42
Module screen
Since the BMP42 is a SourceCon™ module, it can be combined with a variation of supporting main units. The operating and
conguration interface may differ depending on the device it is installed on, but the functionality offered is the same. Some
devices will support control and conguration through a front panel graphical control interface on a display, while others are
also supporting web-control.
This manual describes the control and conguration possibilities via a front-panel graphical control interface display. For
applications with more control possibilities, refer to the user manual of the main device used for further instructions.
Player:
The (player) button gets you to the player mode screen where track information is displayed (if supported by the connected
transmitter) and previous or next audio track selection can be done.
Home:
The (home) button gets you back to the main screen of the device where the BMP42 is installed to.

Connecting:
The main module screen of the BMP42 indicates the connection
status of the receiver. To avoid audio playback by unauthorized users
in public installations, transmitter and receiver pairing is required when
connecting for the rst time.
The receiver cannot be discovered from the transmitting device
unless the receiving and transmitting devices have been previously
paired. In this case, press the button to make it discoverable.
Once connected, the main module screen displays the name of
the connected device and it will become undiscoverable for other
devices.
Once both transmitter and receiver have been paired, the receiver
will remain connectable for that particular transmitter, even when the
connection button hasn’t been pressed. The BMP42 memory
stores up to 8 authorized device ID’s.
When the button is pushed, the connection with the current device
is broken and the BMP42 becomes discoverable again.
