Features of the CP560 include:
•Transport Stream (TS) encapsulation in T2-MI packets
−Single or Multiple Physical Layer Pipe (PLP)
−Null packet deletion
−Input Stream Synchronisation (ISSY) support (short/long)
−Normal and high efficiency transmission mode
−Time interleaving support
•L1-Signalling
−Bandwidth selection (1.7MHz, 5MHz, 6MHz, 7MHz, 8MHz, 10MHz)
−Configurable signalling of the of the DVB-T2 frames
−Modulation up to 256-QAM
•SFN adaptation
−DVB-T2 timestamp for SFN networks (relative/absolute)
−1 PPS timing reference input
−SNTP support for Absolute timestamps
•Individual addressing
−Multiple Input Single Output (MISO)/ Single Input Single Output (SISO) transmis-
sion mode support for individual modulators

Installing the Equipment 17
ID: um_t2gateway CP560 DVB-T2 Gateway User’s Manual Rev. 2.2 (3686)
4 Installing the Equipment
Caution: The CP560 must be handled carefully to prevent safety hazards
and equipment damage. Ensure that the personnel designated to install
the unit have the required skill and knowledge. Follow the instructions
for installation and use only installation accessories recommended by the
manufacturers.
4.1 Inspect the package content
•Inspect the shipping container for damage. Keep the shipping container and cushioning
material until you have inspected the contents of the shipment for completeness and
have checked that the CP560 is mechanically and electrically in order.
•Verify that you received the following items:
−CP560 with correct power supply option
−Power cord(s)
−CD-ROM containing documentation and Flash Player installation files
−Any optional accessories you have ordered
Note: 48 VDC versions do not ship with a power cord; instead a Power
D-SUB male connector for soldering to the supply leads is supplied.
4.2 Installation Environment
As with any electronic device, the CP560 should be placed where it will not be subjected to
extreme temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic interference. Specifically, the selected site
should meet the following requirements:
•The ambient temperature should be between 0 and 50 ◦C (32 and 122 ◦F).
•The relative humidity should be less than 95 %, non-condensing. Do not install the
unit in areas of high humidity or where there is danger of water ingress.
•Surrounding electric devices should comply with the electromagnetic field (EMC) stan-
dard IEC 801-3, Level 2 (less than 3 V/m field strength).
•The AC power outlet (when applicable) should be within 1.8 meters (6 feet) of the
CP560.

18 Installing the Equipment
CP560 DVB-T2 Gateway User’s Manual Rev. 2.2 (3686) ID: um_t2gateway
•Where appropriate, ensure that this product has an adequate level of lightning protec-
tion. Alternatively, during a lightning storm or if it is left unused and unattended for
long periods of time, unplug it from the power supply and disconnect signal cables.
This prevents damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
Warning: If the CP560 has been subject to a lightning strike or a power
surge which has stopped it working, disconnect the power immediately.
Do not re-apply power until it has been checked for safety. If in doubt
contact T-VIPS.
4.3 Equipment installation
The CP560 is designed for stationary use in a standard 19" rack. When installing please observe
the following points:
•Route cables safely to avoid them being pinched, crushed or otherwise interfered with.
Do not run AC power cables and signal cables in the same duct or conduit.
•The CP560 has all connectors at the rear. When mounting the unit, ensure that the
installation allows easy access to the rear of the unit.
•The fans contained in this unit are not fitted with dust/insect filters. Pay particular
attention to this when considering the environment in which it shall be used.
•Make sure that the equipment is adequately ventilated. Do not block the ventilation
holes on each side of the CP560.
4.4 Ventilation
Openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation to protect it from overheating and ensure
reliable operation. The openings must not be blocked or covered. Allow at least 50 mm free
air-space each side of the unit.
Warning: Never insert objects of any kind into this equipment through
openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or create shorts that
could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on or
into the product.
•This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. Do not
place in a built-in installation (e.g. a rack) unless proper ventilation is provided in
accordance with the device airflow design as depicted in Figure 4.1.
•The CP560 may be vertically stacked in 19" racks without intermediate ventilation pan-
els. In systems with stacked units forced-air cooling may be required to reduce the
operating ambient temperature.
Figure 4.1 shows the air path through the unit, where cool air is taken from the left
hand side, seen from the front.

4.5 Power supply
The CP560 may be delivered rated for AC or DC operation, respectively.
Warning: This product should be operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the marking label. Please consult a qualified electrical
engineer or your local power company if you are not sure of the power
supplied at your premises.
4.5.1 AC power supply
The CP560 has a wide-range power supply accepting the voltage range 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
Please refer to Appendix B for a detailed specification of the AC power supply.
4.5.1.1 AC power cable
Ensure that the AC power cable is suitable for the country in which the unit is to be operated.
Caution: Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely
to be trod on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Pay
particular attention to cords at plugs and convenience receptacles.
The unit is supplied with a two meter detachable mains supply cable equipped with a moulded
plug suitable for Europe, UK or USA, as appropriate. The wires in the mains cable are coloured
in accordance with the wire colour code shown in Table 4.1.

Earth Green-and yellow Green-and yellow Green
Neutral Blue Blue White

4.5.1.2 Protective Earth/technical Earth
To achieve protection against earth faults in the installation introduced by connecting signal
cables etc., the equipment should always be connected to protective earth. If the mains supply
cable is disconnected while signal cables are connected to the equipment, an earth connection
should be ensured using the Technical Earth connection terminal on the rear panel of the unit.

20 Installing the Equipment
CP560 DVB-T2 Gateway User’s Manual Rev. 2.2 (3686) ID: um_t2gateway
Warning: This unit must be correctly earthed through the moulded plug
supplied. If the local mains supply does not provide an earth connection
do not connect the unit.
Caution: Consult the supply requirements in Appendix B prior to con-
necting the unit to the supply.
The unit has a Technical Earth terminal located in the rear panel. Its use is recommended. This
is not a protective earth for electrical shock protection; the terminal is provided in order to:
1. Ensure that all equipment chassis fixed in the rack are at the same technical earth
potential. To achieve this, connect a wire between the Technical Earth terminal and a
suitable point in the rack. To be effective all interconnected units should be earthed
this way.
2. Eliminate the migration of stray charges when interconnecting equipment.
Warning: If the terminal screw has to be replaced, use an M4x12mm long
pozidrive pan head. Using a longer screw may imply a safety hazard.
4.5.1.3 Connecting to the AC power supply
Warning: Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can
result in fire hazard or electrical shock. The unit is not equipped with an
on/off switch. Ensure that the outlet socket is installed near the equipment
so that it is easily accessible. Failure to isolate the equipment properly may
cause a safety hazard.
To connect the unit to the local AC power supply, connect the AC power lead to the CP560
mains input connector(s) and then to the local mains supply.
4.5.2 DC power supply
The CP560 can be delivered with a 48 VDC power supply for use in environments where this
is required. The DC power supply accepts an input voltage range of 36-72 VDC. Please refer to
Appendix B for detailed specification of the power supply.
