1 Safety regulations
• Assembly, installation and servicing should be carried out by authorised
electricians.
• Switch off the operating voltage of the system before beginning with as-
sembly or service work or pull out the mains plug.
• Do not perform installation and service work during thunderstorms.
• Install the system so it will not be able to vibrate…
- in a dust-free, dry environment
- in such a manner that it is protected from moisture, fumes, splashing
water and dampness
- somewhere protected from direct sunlight
- not within the immediate vicinity of heat sources
- in an ambient temperature of -20 °C to +50 °C.
• Ensure that the head-end station is adequately ventilated. Do not cover
the ventilation slots.
• Beware of short circuits
• No liability is accepted for any damage caused by faulty connections or
inappropriate handling.
• Observe the relevant standards, regulations and guidelines on the instal-
lation and operation of antenna systems.
• Earth the SAT receiver in accordance with DIN EN 50083-1 / 60728-11
and VDE 0855 (earthing, equipotential bonding rail).
• For further information please read the assembly instructions for the
head-end station used.
• Test the software versions of the head-end station and the cassette and
update them if necessary. The current software versions can be found at
”www.gss.de”.
Take action to prevent static discharge when working on the device.
Electronic devices should never be disposed of in the household rubbish.
In accordance with directive 2002/96/EC of the European Parliament
and the European Council from January 27, 2003 which addresses old
electronic and electrical devices, such devices must be disposed of at a
designated collection facility. At the end of its service life, please take
your device to one of these public collection facilities for proper disposal.

2.4 Description
The cassette is used to feed standardised audio and video signals into a cable
system from completely different audio and video sources (e.g. audio and video
reproduction devices, test picture generators, observation cameras etc.).
The audio and video sig nals fed in via the cinch sockets of the cassette are
modulated to adjustable carrier frequencies in the modulators and supplied to
the combiner. There they are combined and are sent to the HF output collector
of the head-end station via the HF output socket of the cassette. The common
output level can be set at the HF output collector of the head-end station.
When the head-end station is switched on, the two-line LC display shows the
software version of the control unit. To operate this cassette the software version
of the control unit must be “V 40” or higher. You can find the current operating
software for the control unit and the cassette, the software “BE-Flash” and the
current assembly instructions on the website “www.gss.de”.
The cassette is designed for use in the following head-end stations:
– STC 1200
– STC 316
– STR 19-8
– PST 19-1
2.4.1 Display of the control unit software version
If necessary, you can activate the indication of the software version of the con-
trol unit manually:
• Press any two keys on the control unit of the head-end station simultaneously
until the display goes dark and the software version, e.g. “V 40” appears.

3 Installation
3.1 Installing the cassette
– Ensure the head-end station is mounted so it will not be able to vibrate.
Avoid, for example, mounting the head-end station onto a lift shaft or any
other wall or floor construction that vibrates in a similar way.
– Before installing or changing a cassette unplug the power cable from the
mains power socket.
• Remove the fastening screws 1of an unoccupied slot from the bracket of the
head-end station.
• Insert the cassette in this slot and push it into the housing.
• Align the cassette and apply slight pressure to connect it to the connections of
the board and the HF output collector.
• Fasten the cassette with the 1screws.
3.2 EMC regulations
To comply with the current EMC regulations, it is necessary to connect the
lines leading in and out of the head-end station using cable terminals.
When mounting the cassette in an STR 19-8 head-end station which is in-
stalled in a 19” cabinet, make sure the connections leading in and out for
the 19” cabinet are made using cable terminals.
The attenuation of shielding of the connection lines must meet the require-
ments for “Class A”.

• Insert the required number of cable terminals in the openings provided in the
head-end station or in the 19 ” cabinet.
—> Cable terminals are not included in the scope of delivery.
Tighten the nuts on the cable terminals until the teeth on the lock washers have
penetrated the exterior coating and a good connection is made between the
housing and cable terminal.

5 Programming
5.1 Preparation
• Connect the test receiver to the HF output or the test output of the head-end
station.
• Set the output channels / output frequencies of the
cassette (pages 14/15)
and adjust the test receiver to the respective channel / frequency.
• Switch on the modulator if necessary (page 13).
• Measure the output levels of the channel strips and adjust them to a uniform output
level ( page 13) .
