2.4 desCriPtion
The cassette converts 12 stereo audio channels from an IP data stream into 12
FM modulated stereo output signals. The RDS station code is automatically taken
from the IP data stream or can be entered manually.
Principle signal path:
HF output
LAN input IP data stream
Combiner
12 fold modulator
TPS
The cassette is controlled with the head-end station control unit.
A LED indicates whether an input signal is present or not (see figure on page 5).
LED indicator Indication
Green Signal present
Red No signal
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
the website “www.gss.de”.
The cassette is designed for use in head-end stations of the profi line.

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

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”.
 • Inserttherequirednumberofcableterminalsintheopeningsprovidedin
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.
