• Caution! Dangerous voltage! For a complete disconnection from the mains,

both mains plugs must be pulled out of the mains sockets. Ensure that the

mains plugs can be pulled out without difficulties.

• The head-end station should only be installed in a room where the permis-

sible ambient temperature range (0 °C … +50 °C ) can be maintained, even

during fluctuations in climatic conditions.

• To avoid too strong interacted heating of the head-end stations it is not

admissible to mount them one upon the other without using thermic precau-

tions (e.g. permanently air recirculation, ventilation etc.).

• If additional fans are to be used to circulate the air, ensure that the system

will be shut down (disconnected from mains) should any one of the fans fail.

• Install the head-end station

- in a dry, dust-free environment, in such a manner that it is protected from

moisture, fumes, splashing water and dampness

- where it is protected from direct exposure to sunlight

- on a vibration-free wall or floor construction

The head-end station converts 32 (2x16) MPTS streams into 32 QAM or

COFDM modulated transponders. A further 32 MPTS data streams can be

provided as redundant input signals as a software option for an extra charge.

ge ner al

The station is equipped with two LAN inputs, one RF output and one test output

(–25 dB). The MPTS input data streams of lines 1-16 are fed to the left LAN

input that the lines 17-32 at the right LAN input.

32 LEDs provide an indication of the status of the 32 lines based on their col-

our and indicate if the respective line is switched on (LED illuminates) or off.

The LEDs are blinking red/green during data overflow.

The station is powered by two independent power supplies (redundancy). The

power supplies can be replaced individually during operation. If one power

supply unit fails, a warning signal sounds.

If the control input has connection to the Internet, the device can send a warn-

ing e-mail when a signal, power supply or one of the fans fails.
