special information which is
important to know.
Caution: Keep this amplifier far away from liquids. Do not place it on placements close to water like
flowers vases, wash basin, aquariums or pools. A high risk of electric exists shock when water or high
humidity filters inside the amplifiers. Never place other devices on it; they can overheat the amplifiers as
well as daring fire risk. The amplifiers must be used only with original power cord to 230V main plug.
Please read carefully this manual and do not hesitate to contact to professional help if you have any
doubt.
Opening the amplifier housing will mean a warranty void.
Installation:
1. Respect the ventilation holes of the equipment without covering them with any object.
2. Keep clear the environment of the equipment, with a minimum ratio of 40 cm.
3. Do not place the equipment close to any heating source.
4. Do not make the equipment work at any temperature that exceeds the range of working temperatures.
5. Avoid placements with risk of dumping liquids inside and with big changes in temperature.
6. Never open the equipment by yourself, due to risk of electrocution. In case of problems, please get always
qualified technicians.
7. Never open the equipment while it is plugged to the Power Network.
8. It is preferable that the equipment is disconnected during the connection of it.
9. Respect the safety electrical rules during the installation. Use the materials that perform the current
regulations.
10. The connection plug must be accessible in an easy and simple mode, and always to get a fast disconnection.
11. Never touch the power network plug with wet hands. Disconnect always the equipment before handling its
connections.
12. Do not place any heavy object over the equipment, due to it could get damaged.
Cleaning: Before cleaning the amplifier with a slightly damped cloth, please disconnect the main 230 Vac connection
from the amplifier. Please use only mild cleaners.
Accessories: Please, do not use accessories which are not agreed by the manufacturer of the amplifier.
Unsuitable accessories could increase the risk of getting on fire, an electrical impact or other damages.
Placement: Select a placement where the Amplifiers has air circulation enough, otherwise it may have overheating
accumulation.
Power connection: Select a main plug with easy access, in case of unplugging necessity; it will be easier and faster.
Please, make sure that the cord as well as the plug is in perfect conditions. Do not pull the cable, use always the plug.
Housing: Please, make sure that no liquid will filter into the housing of the amplifier. If so, disconnect immediately the
amplifier from the main 230 V plug and bring the amplifier to a professional.
Air humidity: When you take the Amplifier from a cold to a warm place, please wait until the amplifier gets the same
temperature as the new environment, in order to avoid problems of humidity condensation.

6. EYE UHF Lte outdoor antenna Code: 9003960
7. F 0-F FM outdoor antenna Code: 9002005-F
In this example, 6 types of antennas can be connected to the programmable amplifier. Also pre-amplifiers can
be connected at UHF inputs.
All the different elements for the reception of different bands will be connected through the Wide Band
programmable amplifier MIND 32S (FM, BIII-DAB, UHF and Satellite), which will be treated by the equipment.
Once the Wide Band Central is programmed, it will be connected through the outputs OUT TER and OUT
TER+SAT, the last one is already mixed with the Satellite and Terrestrial signal, designed for ICT
Installations.

1. BIII-UHF4: This mode allows BIII and UHF channels in the input. The
filters can be configured in this mode.
2. DAB: This mode assigned 8 of the 32 filters available to amplify all
BIII. This mode disables the options to supply a pre amplifier in the
input, the auto scanning channels for the input and disable the menu
BIII-UHF4. Remember to enable this mode is necessary at least 8
unused filters.
Press the button OK to edit. The current option blink in the display to
confirm is in edit mode. Use the buttons ◄ ► to select the mode and
press OK to confirm your selection.
Press ESC to return to the main menu.
3.3 Menu DC PASS

3.4 Menu AUTO SCANNING
This menu can be use to scan all UHF signal received in the selected inputs
and automatically assigned filters of the channels founds. If the same UHF
channel is detected in several inputs only will be assigned the filter to input
with the best level detected. All filters assigned to one input will be removed
in the scanning process and only add the filters of the channels found.
The auto scanning could be not found the signals depending of the level. Consider the following case:
1. If the signal is between 54 dBµV and 110 dBµV, the signal must be found by the auto scan.
2. If the signal is between 51 dBµV to 53 dBµV could be detect or not depending the levels of adjacent
channels.
3. If the signal is lower or equal than 50 dBµV is very low and never found.
If the digital signals are low but have enough quality use a preamplifier to get
a correct level in the input of the amplifier.
Press OK, to enter in the menu “AUTO SCANNING”. Use the buttons ◄ ► of
the keyboard and select “+” to add the input in the auto scanning. If select
“-” the input will be not included in the scan. Press Ok to confirm the selection.
Repeat the process with the other inputs. If the input 4 (BIII-UHF4) is configured in DAB mode will be not showing
in the menu.
After confirm the las input with OK, the next step is select the limit of the UHF band to scan in the option LTE/5G
filter. The options available are:
1. 694 MHz: Search the channels between C21 and C48.
2. 790 MHz: Search the channels between C21 and C60.
3. Off: Search the channels between C21 and C69.
Use the buttons ◄ ► of the keyboard to select and press Ok to confirm and
start the auto scanning. The time depend of the number of input and
channels to scan.
When the auto scanning finish appear the number of UHF channels detected.
Press ESC to return to the main menu.
3.5 Menu UHF1
Allow add, delete or edit configuration of the assigned filter of the UHF1 input.
To enter in the menu press OK.
a) Add a new channel.
To add a new channel select with the buttons ◄ ► until show the
message in the screen “Adding channel”. Press "OK and will be add and
