2.4 desCriPtion
The cassette converts 12 stereo audio channels from two COFDM and QAM
modulated transponders and the ASI input signal into 12 FM modulated stereo
output channels.
The RDS station code is automatically taken from the station name of the trans-
ponder or can be entered manually.
Via input A and a corresponding CA module scrambled channels can be de-
scrambled.

To operate this cassette the software version of the control unit must be "V44"
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

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.

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 a head-end station which is installed in a 19"
cabinet, make sure the connections leading in and out for the 19" cabinet are
made using cable terminals.
CLASS
KLASSE
The attenuation of shielding of the connection lines for ASI and antenna must
meet the requirements for "Class A".

the head-end station or in the 19 " cabinet.
Tighten the nuts on the cable terminals until the teeth on the lock washer have
penetrated the exterior coating and a good connection is made between the hous-
ing and cable terminals.

3.5 retrofitting aCa module
The cassette is equipped with a common interface. It allows you to connect a
CA module for various scrambling systems and service providers. Scrambled
stations can only be descrambled with a CA module suitable for the scram-
bling system and the corresponding smart card. The smart card contains all
theinformationforauthorisation,descramblingandsubscription.
Caution
– Check with the distributor or manufacturer of the CA module to be used to
ensure that it is suitable for descrambling several channels.
– The hardware and software of this cassette have been thoroughly prepared
and tested.
Any changes made by programme provider to the structures in the pro-
gramme data might impair or even prevent this function.
 – WhenworkingwiththeCAmodule,pleasereadthecorrespondingoperat-
ing manual from the respective provider.
 • InsertthesmartcardintotheCAmodulesothatthechip3on the smart
card 1faces the thicker side (top) of the CA module 2.
 • InserttheCAmoduleintotheslot4with the top side of the CA module
facing the RS-232 socket of the cassette.
 • PushtheCAmodulewithoutcantingintotheguiderailsoftheCAslot4
