A power supply cable of approx. 2 mt length is supplied with the device, which has a moulded IEC plug attached – this is
a legal requirement.
The type of plug for the power supply depends on the country in which it is delivered.

If for any reason, you need to use this appliance with a different plug, you should use the following wiring guidelines in
replacing the exsisting plug with the new one:

Earth

Green, or green and yellow

Neutral (N)

Blue

Live (L)

Brown

Supply cables should be laid in such a manner that one does not step or walk on them. They should not be squashed by
any objects.

THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE EARTHED.

The chassis is always connected to mains earth to ensure your safety: check your mains wiring and earthing before
switching on.

8.2 AC MAINS VOLTAGE SETTING (230 V / 115 V)

BE SURE THAT THE UNIT IS SET TO THE CORRECT MAINS/LINE VOLTAGE FOR YOUR
COUNTRY BEFORE PLUGGING IT INTO THE WALL OUTLET !

The actual Mains voltage is indicated on the label stuck on the equipment closure. Should the type of power at the
operation location not be known, please contact your dealer or electricity company.

If, for some reason, the unit is to be operated at a mains input voltage which is different to that as supplied, you need to
switch the voltage selector on the right side of the unit. You also need to replace the AC main fuse, according to
information provided on the external label or on the Technical Specifications table at the end of this user manual.

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE AC
MAINS CABLE BEFORE ALTERING THE CHANGE-OVER SWITCH. NO USER SERVICEABLE

FIRST INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS

Axel Technology |

11

8.3 FUSE REPLACEMENT

The power supply socket has an integral fuse drawer containing the AC power fuse and a spare, both of the same value.


BEFORE REPLACING THE POWER FUSE, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TYPE OF FUSE FOR
THE VOLTAGE TO BE PROTECTED.
USING WRONG FUSE TYPE WILL RESULT IN INSUFFICIENT PROTECTION.

Make sure that the power is switched off and the power cable is disconnected from the equipment.

a. Open the fuse drawer using a small blade screwdriver.

b. Replace the fuse located at the internal position

c. Push the fuse socket back into the original position (a.)

Perform the set-up under static control conditions. Static charges are likely to completely destroy one or
more of the CMOS semiconductors employed in the unit. Static damage will not be covered under
warranty.
Basic damage prevention consists of minimizing generation, discharging any accumulated static charge
on your body and preventing that discharge from being sent to or through any electronic component.

Uninsulated dangerous voltage are inside the enclosure, voltage that may be sufficient to constitute a
risk of shock.
Always disconnect to AC Mains before removing the top cover

11 WOLF CONNECTIONS (BREAKOUT BOXES)

To facilitate connections to and from Wolf, there are two different optional connection boxes available that simplify
connections. Thanks to these expansion panels, the connections can be brought to the front or rear of the rack,
depending on the technical requirements of the installation in question.

The Wolf handles analog and digital signals. More specifically, there are two different Breakout Boxes available, a
digital-only version (WLF-BBD) and a hybrid version, featuring inputs and outputs for analogue and mpx signals (WLF­BBAM)

In the figure below, showing the Wolf Digital Breakout Box (WLF-BBD, there are two separate inputs (IN C and IN D) and
the relative outputs (OUT C and OUT D), in addition to the further outputs (OUT 1, OUT 2, OUT 3, OUT 4). These
outputs can be fully configured as required; the default jumper settings inside the Breakout Box are such that these
always reproduce OUTPUT C. All inputs and outputs are transformer de-coupled, with a characteristic impedance of 110
ohms.

In addition to the individual in/out connections, the BB also allows the device to have active independent service outputs
assignable to inputs/outputs. This is to facilitate installation. For the Breakout Box connection details and operating
parameters, please refer to the Technical Appendix at the end of the manual.

The figure below shows the Wolf Analog and MPX Breakout Box (WLF-BBAM).

WHAT IS THE WOLF NETWORK AND WHAT IS IT FOR?

Axel Technology |

20

12 WHAT IS THE WOLF NETWORK AND WHAT IS IT FOR?

The WOLF is a powerful, multi-functional FM station monitor . The device is designed to monitor audio signals, including
analog signals, digital signals, and MPX signals (with or without RDS), as well as free air signals, in the FM bandwidth
(87.5 - 108.0 MHz). The results of the measurements, whether performed on audio signals, MPX signals or on free air
signals, are directly accessible as HTML pages, using the built-in Web Server, or the dedicated PC monitoring software.
The results of the measurements carried out can also be compared with a grid of preset values, with the generation of
appropriate alarms in the event of out-of-range values. The Wolf supports the following protocols: UECP , SNMP, HTTP
and TFTP.

13 THE MAIN CONCEPT OF THE WOLF NETWORK DEVICE

The ways in which to connect the Wolf are many and varied. They differ depending on the needs of the broadcasters
using the device on their network. The versatility and, above all, the number of functions, operations, and facilities of this
equipment mean it can be put to a wide range of uses. One of the fundamental concepts of the Wolf, one of its most
conventional intended uses and - above all - one of the functions for which the device was conceived, is the ability to
manage its powerful internal changeover function, according to the precise meter featured. The Wolf‟s internal
changeover function allows the device to broadcast the „best‟ audio source, according to the reference parameters
configured internally.

14 AUTOMATIC MODE

In automatic mode, the Wolf automatically runs a series of pre-set measurements on audio signals and MPX, RDS and
antenna signals, and records the results in its log file. The machine can also compare the measurements against
reference values or ranges (called Thresholds) preset by the operator, or other reference data. This mode is generally
the standard operating mode. In this mode you cannot change any system configuration parameter. When the Wolf is
set to 'Auto' or is carrying out on-line measurements, other measurements are carried out at the same time, including:
Pilot Level, RDS level, peak deviation and power (as required by standard ITU-R BS412) on the two signals marked
MPX-1 and MPX-2. Depending on the how the device is configured, these will correspond to either the external Base
Bandwidth MPX-1 and MPX-2 inputs, the built-in tuner output, or the output of any external tuner that may be in use.

One RDS decoder stage, meanwhile, can be applied either to one of the two signals MPX-1 or MPX-2 or directly to the
signal outputted by the built-in tuner or the external tuner.

In addition, the Wolf decoder features a built-in digital stereo decoder which can also be applied to the internal MPX-1 or
MPX-2 signal. The output of the stereo decoder is measured using an RMS meter. The Wolf also measures stereo audio
input signals, both analogue and digital. The measurements concern the instantaneous peak level or the average peak
levels over a given period and also the instantaneous RMS level or the average level over a given period.

15 MANUAL MODE

When in manual mode, the parameters can be altered, but the device‟s automatic measuring and monitoring operations
will be suspended. In manual mode, a measurement can effectively be selected and the results viewed using the device
as a normal workbench tool.

The Wolf acts as a peak meter and an RMS meter (both stereo), which can be applied to either analog or
digital audio signals, as well as external MPX-1 and MPX-2 signals, whether at the output of the tuners or
of the MPX stereo decoder, which can, in turn, be applied to various signals. When the signal measured is
a mono signal (as in the case of an MPX), a 'Mono to Stereo' conversion module is automatically added to
the chain, to standardise it with the measurement of stereo audio signals. Note that the type of
measurement to be carried out, i.e. the pilot level, the pilot distortion, the RDS level, etc. is set via the
particular filter selected manually from those available in the filter selection menu page. All measurements

are always expressed as dBr (dB relative) and refer to the reference level selected for each input via the
Reference menu (see the Reference stages applied to each input, which actually represent the Fixed gain value
applied to that particular input). The Web Server screen page shows the Manual control settings.

16 LOCAL/REMOTE MODE

When it is in local mode, the Wolf does not accept operating commands from remote devices. All UECP / SNMP / HTTP
activation commands are therefore masked graphically via the software. TFTP commands are always accepted, as they
are considered globally configured macro-operations. In this mode it is assumed that the local operator has total control
of the device. In remote mode (normal operating condition), all commands are accepted, with all the complications for an
operator inherent to shared parameters in the event of local navigation.

18.4 USING AXEL WOLF ADDRESS MANAGER FOR THE FIRST TIME

As explained in the previous section, Wolf Address Manager "guides" the machine through UECP and/or IP and SNMP
and NTP encoding identifiers. First of all, you have to install the applications supplied with the Wolf device on your PC.
They are contained on a CD-ROM and the installation procedure is outlined below:

1. Insert the CD-ROM into your PC.

2. Run the auto-install file "Setup.exe”

3. Connect the Wolf Network device to the power supply and switch it on. This is the screen that
appears when you run setup.exe. The file may also be obtained directly from Axel Technology
s.r.l. or another retailer, in which case it may be provided in a . rar or other compressed format.
In this case, you should decompress the file and save it on your PC's system disk before
carrying out the installation.

4. Once you have launched Setup.exe and obtained the
necessary information from the operating system, the
following screen will appear. Press the NEXT button to
proceed with the installation of the executable contents for
the Wolf Network.

5. When the NEXT button is pressed, the Customer Information
window appears, where you will have to set the "Username"
and "Organization" and whether or not the application needs
to be installed for and used by a single user or "all users"

6. Clicking NEXT takes you on to the following step, which is
the selection of the application installation path. Generally
speaking, you should adopt the standard pathway proposed
by the operating system. However, the target location can
be altered by clicking Change in the right-hand central

section of the page.

7. When the Next button is pressed again, a quick summary of
the installation settings is displayed or a "Ready to Install

CONTROL, MANAGEMENT, AND MONITORING SOFTWARE

26

the Program" message, while clicking again takes you to the actual phase in which installation of the
applications within the operating system takes place.

A blue bar shows installation progress.

8. After installation - and once the various installation
processes have been checked - the program will display the
following message: "InstallShield Wizard Complete"

9. At this point, two new icons will have appeared on your
computer's desktop :

- Axel Wolf Address Manager vX.X.X

- Axel Wolf Network Remoter vx.x.x

You can now connect the Wolf Network to your PC and use
the services offered by the various applications to start
using the Wolf Network device.

18.5 CONFIGURING THE WOLF

1. Connect the 9-pole Male/Female Pin-to-Pin cable (for connection to the Wolf device) to the COM(x) port of your
computer. This cable comes supplied with the Wolf Network device and can be found inside the box.

2. Connect the aforesaid cable to the Wolf device via the RS232-1 port, or the Wolf COM number 1 port, which is
also the only one enabled for operation of Wolf Address Manager.

3. Launch the previously installed Wolf Address Manager program using the icon on your PC‟s desktop or another
link.

4. Press the Connect to Target button in the top central section
of the screen.

5. Once the Connect to Target button has been pressed, the data stored inside the device will appear. More
specifically, the figure below shows a Wolf Network device with some of the data programmed. To edit the

default manufacturer‟s settings configured by Axel
Technology, simply position the cursor on the field and
change the data. Once you have changed the settings to
the desired values, enter the data in the Wolf Network
device by clicking the Send Data button in the bottom right­hand corner of the
software panel.

6. Once the data has been sent successfully to the device, the Send Data button will
go back to its original grey colour. To read the settings stored in the device, press
the "Reload Data" button in the central section of the screen. This operation is
used to recall the settings stored in the Wolf Network.

7. Once these settings have been configured you can use the Axel Wolf Network Remoter application for device
management. See the next section.

N.B: With regards to speed on the RS232-1 port, the factory default setting is 38,400 bps, and Wolf Address
Manager has this at its default setting after installation on your computer. This setting can also be edited, but
since this is the preferred port for communication and the Wolf Network device configuration, we strongly advise
you NOT to alter this port value. For port speed editing, see the appendix at the end of the manual.

19 USING WOLF REMOTER FOR THE FIRST TIME

As explained in the previous section, the Wolf Network Remoter application is the software that allows access to the
device and editing of the operating parameters. The following connection procedures are currently available:

1. LOCAL RS 232

2. MODEM

3. TCP/IP

4. TFTP (under development)

1. First of all, start up Wolf Network Remoter by launching the executable file from the location in which you installed it
(e.g. Desktop)

2. The following window will appear:

3. LOCAL RS 232 mode

At the moment, the RS 232 LOCAL mode is the simplest, as it
involves the use of a single pin-to -pin serial cable connected to a
single control PC. To do this, select Local RS232 in the
Communication Channel panel, as seen in the figure.

After you do this, select the Serial Port you intend to use in your
PC and its port speed. These two parameters can be found in the
Serial Parameters panel, beside the
Communication Channel. Once you have set
the correct values to access the Wolf Network,

press the Connect button.

If the connection is successful, the Messages panel will show the message “Connection to target successfully

established" and will also feature some of the data of the Wolf Network device to which you are connected, such as the
target type, the firmware version, and the firmware code. This means you are properly connected with the Wolf Network.

19.1 DIRECT LINK VIA MODEM UPLINK

It is possible to connect a PC and a remotely installed Wolf Network via a dial-up
modem connection. Each time the connection is made via two dial-up modems, select

'MODEM' in the communication channel configuration windows (ComChannel). The
connection mode ('Connection mode') will be automatically set to 'bidirectional':
See the next section of this manual for the physical connection between the modem and the
Wolf Network, at the remote end (serial port 1 of the Wolf Network must be used for this
purpose).
Using Wolf Remoter Network, set the serial port used to connect to the modem and the
associated connection speed (which is usually 38400 baud for POTS/PSTN modems and
9600 baud for GSM modems). You will also need to enter a modem initialization string

SERIAL PORT

Select the PC serial port to use for the connection (from 1 to 255). In the case of a USB modem,
check that the 'virtual' serial port is selected automatically by the PC.

SERIAL
SPEED

Set the maximum transmission speed for the selected PC port. By default, the Remoter will display
the maximum value (38400 Baud).

The communication transmission speed set in the control PC’s software must MATCH the
transmission speed of the modem connected.

INITIALIZ.
STRING

Enter the AT initialization string here. The BSN offers two string options. The shortest

(at&f&k0&c0&r1s2=255) is usually suitable for internal PCI modems, while the longest
(at&f0&k0&c0&s0&r1s2=255) is usually suitable for external modems.

TEL. NUMBER

Enter the number to dial here (including country code, area code, etc.).

Click OK to confirm, or ESC to quit without saving.

19.2 CONNECTION TO A DIAL-UP MODEM

Whenever remote control via a dial-up modem is required, connect the modem to the serial port 1 on the back of the unit.
Remember to check the configuration of port 1. Its speed must be set to:

- 38400 baud for a POTS dial-up modem

- 9600 baud for a GSM modem.

A 'crossover' CABLE (NULL MODEM) is required to for the modem connection. The table below shows the wiring
diagram for the cable in both cases in which the modem has 9-pin or 25-pin Sub-D female connectors.

Remember also that:

 On a 25-pin plug, connect pins 6 and 8.
 On a 9-pin plug, connect pins 1 and 6.

The receiver modem (the one connected to the Shark serial port) must have at least the following settings (modem
commands are between brackets and refer to the most common modem models):

- IGNORE CDs (the standard command is &C0)

- IGNORE RTS (&R1)

- IGNORE DTR (&D0)

- Disable TX Flow Control (&H0)

- Disable RX Flow Control (&I0)

- Disable Data Compression (&K0)

You will also need to set registers S0 and S2 as follows:

- S0=2

- S2=255

The S0 register is the number of rings before Auto Answer. It is used to set the number of rings required before the
modem automatically answers a call. Range: 0-255 rings). Setting this register to zero disables auto answer mode. S0 =
n, where n is the number of rings. We recommend you set S0 = 2

The S2 register (Escape Code Character) specifies the ASCII value of the character used in the escape code (The
escape code is the escape character entered three times in a row.) When the modem is in connected status and
receives the escape code, the modem enters the command status. Normally, setting the S2 register to 128 or above
disables the escape code character. We recommend you set S2 = 255

You will need to load these settings in the modem memory, so that they are loaded immediately at modem start-up.
Please refer to the modem's user manual for more information.

19.3 CONNECTION VIA TCP/IP (NETWORK)

Make sure the Wolf already has a valid TCP/IP subnet mask and an IP port number (see next section for more
information). Select 'TCP/IP' in the communication channel configuration windows (ComChannel). A screen summarising
the current TCP / IP connection data will appear :

To enter the actual Wolf Network IP address and IP port to connect to, click on [EDIT TCP / IP Database]. The
Configuration Editor program will open. For Editor use, please see the relative section.

Click on the button. The Configuration Editor screen will load the data base of the existing TCP/IP connections
and list them.
More in detail, in the [GROUP_START] section, the editor allows you to enter a 'mnemonic' name for the group to which
you are connecting, plus a name for the specific unit within the group, its IP address and the port associated with it.

;----------------------- Example ------------------------­;

EXAMPLE

For example, if you're connecting to three units, two from one group and one from another:

 A Wolf with the address 128,198,076,030, assigned port 2060 and name Split 1- Middle Town belonging to the group

"EAST-Coast Bridge DPL-01"

 A Wolf with the address 128.198.035.121, assigned port 3007 and name Split 2 - Route 66 belonging to the group

"EAST-Coast Bridge DPL-01"

And so on until all the devices you want the Wolf Network to control have been entered.

You will have to uncheck the box and edit the lines

If you only want to control a single Wolf Network device, and this device has been entered into your LAN network,
proceed as follows:

1.Enter the Group_Name as a mnemonic name that refers to the device (in the example: Wolf Network-1)

2.Enter the name of the device as the name in WOLF_1 (in the example : Wolf Network -1)

3. Enter the target IP of the Wolf Network previously assigned with Wolf Address Manager and the port.

4. If not used, you can also delete the other Wolf connection parameters that do not exist in your network.

5.Once the IP address and relative ports have been entered, save them by clicking and accepting the change of data
base.

6.Close the Configuration Editor by clicking on and return to the ComChannel settings .

and the Mask Alarm Reference Bar section provides a graphic display of the control status in a different colour.
Red/green shows whether the parameter is valid/invalid.

The Source window shows which source must be
considered by the Wolf Network as the primary source
or MAIN source, with the relative reference and
instantaneous measurements and averages calculated
in 10-minute slots.

The Backup Audio Measurement Module window
displays the Audio Backup sources with their relative
ranking (Dec MPX2 - Digital2 - Digital1 - Off) as well as
the source status (Available/Not Available)

This window shows the individual measurement of each
MPX decoder module. Sources available are: MPX-1,
MPX-2, MPX-0, and FM MPX .

The RDS Decoder Measurement Module window
displays the status of the various parameters of the the
Radio Data System service within the MPX signal
connected to the Tuner. The source in this case could
also be changed from Tuner to MPX-1, MPX-2 or MPX­2-0

Unlike the case shown above, the RDS tuner with the
source set to "Internal Tuner at .." displays the Radio
Data System service parameters that come from the
Wolf device‟s internal tuner, set to a user-settable
frequency. To set this value (frequency expressed as
MHz), see the previous section (parameter 106)

In this panel, you can see the last slot of measurements
made on a variety of audio sources entering the Wolf
Network device. Each measurement slot is 10 minutes
in length and the data is stored inside the Wolf Network
for a given period (usually 1 year) then automatically
deleted or sent via network to the Wolf Ranger or
Manager application. Ranger then collects all the data
received from the various devices, such as the Tiger
Shark, the Wolf Network and all SNMP devices
connected to generate reports, statistics and alarms.

The Wolf Network Remoter screen to the left, also
provides a device operation summary, as the Main
Audio is shown with the Source and the relative
measurements and the various Backup Audios with their
Statuses (Green Area)

As far as the rest of the measurements of the MPX-1,
MPX-2, FM MPX and MPX-0 are concerned, there are
various parameters visible in this area too (blue area).
Enabling the display and setting the trigger threshold
values are both possible using the WOLF NETWORK
CONFIGURATION IMPORT/EXPORT FILE option
outlined in the previous section. Last of all, the
temperature is shown, and as for the above parameters,
you can set the trigger thresholds to apply in the event
that the value exceeds certain limits.

WOLF MEASUREMENT DATABASE (MEASURE DB)

25 WOLF MEASUREMENT DATABASE (MEASURE DB)

This panel displays a series of parameters measured by the Wolf Network. This section is basically divided into two
columns, with the Current Time Slot Measurement on the right-hand side and the Last Error Slot Measurement Module
on the left. The Current Time Slot Measurement Module section provides measurements taken at a given slot time,
which is normally every 10 minutes. The following image shows that the slot started on 17/08/2011 at 16:10 and at ended
at 16:20 and that there are Failure statuses (a series of errors in a slot that have invalidated the measurement).

The right-hand section of the panel contains the Last Error Slot Measures.

OFFLINE WOLF DATA

Axel Technology |

53

26 OFFLINE WOLF DATA

This part of the software displays all the measurements recorded by the Wolf Network also in conjunction with a Wolf
Master device located at the head of the network. The Wolf Master sends, offline (i.e. without the presence of Left +
Right Audio on the transmission chain), a series of audio tones at various frequencies and levels that, once received by
the Wolf Network devices located at the end of the transmission chain, i.e. located on the transmitter site, allow the user
to determine quality of the entire audio transmission and distribution chain.
This part of the software only works with the Wolf Master, as it performs comparative tests, i.e. since the quality of
various audio signals transmitted from the head of the network is known, the quality thereof at the end of the same
network can also be known. By comparing the signals sent with those received, it is therefore possible to establish the
audio transit quality.

WOLF WEB PAGE (WEBSERVER)

Axel Technology |

54

27 WOLF WEB PAGE (WEBSERVER)

Within the Wolf Network there is a web server which allows the user to display the Wolf Network measurements and
status via an html page viewable in any web browser. To access the Wolf Network web server, simply key the IP
address of the Wolf Network you want to monitor into the navigation bar of Web browser. If the Wolf is located in a
private LAN, simply enter the address in the navigation bar. If the device you want to monitor is remote and connection
via the Internet (WAN) is a possibility, then you will need to enter both the public address and the port assigned to the
device and managed by the router. The syntax is generally PUBLIC IP: PORT. Once the target device is reached, a
password may be requested; if not, you will be able to view the device‟s measurements and status.

30.1 RELAY CONNECTION

The maximum current supported by the relays (switching current) is 1A, while the maximum voltage is 30 V. The
individual relays are assigned by the software

The dc voltage is 9 volts, non-stablised. The relative output is protected by a 300 mA self-resetting fuse. The connector
features markings showing the COMMON, NORMALLY CLOSED and NORMALLY OPEN contacts for four SPDT relays.

Relay 4 can also be used as an indicator of the
presence of the 5 volts DC internal power supply
branch.

An internal jumper (J1) allows you to assign the
relay to normal GPO reporting or to detection of
the presence of power (PWR position: . the relay
remains closed as long as the power supply is
present, therefore the opening of the relay
indicates an irregularity in the power supply )

30.2 MPX CONNECTORS

The MPX-1 and MPX-2 connectors are used for connection to composite signals with a bandwidth of up to 59 KHz on
which to perform the measurements.

These are usually connected to the Stereo Encoder outputs.
The EXT MPX output is dedicated to the connection of an external tuner MPX output, to use as an alternative to the Wolf

device‟s internal tuner.
Input impedance: 50 Ohm.
Please refer to the section on Manual/Auto operating modes with regards to the selection of the input used for the

measurements.
The Antenna connector is dedicated to the connection to the antenna for the built-in tuner.

30.3 WOLF DEVICE ANALOG AND MPX BREAK-OUT BOX (WLF-BBAM)

11

11

The analog Breakout Box is divided into two sections:
The ANALOG section (12 right-hand MPX section BNC connectors)
MPX section (made up of the 8 left-hand male XLR connectors)

30.4 ANALOG SECTION

The ANALOG section features:

- transformer-coupled input A

- transformer-coupled input B
Electronically balanced output (OUT1 - A)

- electronically balanced replica (OUT1 - B) of output OUT1-A
A relay-based hardware bypass system (see Relay1, Relay2, and Relay3 and Relay4 in figure) is used to

establish direct physical contact between inputs and outputs in the event of a power failure. This is done to
prevent interruptions in the transmission chain in the event of a power failure. In particular, the bypasses
performed in the event of power failure are as follows:

- RH output OUT1 A – with RH input IN A

- LH output OUT1 A – with LH input IN A

- RH output OUT1 B – with RH input IN B

- LH output OUT1 B – with LH input IN B
The MPX section features:

The MPX Breakout Box with 12 BNC connectors. it is connected to the WOLF device via two inputs, MPX-1 and MPX-2
on the central unit and via a dedicated cable for the BB MPX connector. As the block diagram below shows, the
Breakout Box features the same two inputs, MPX-1 and MPX-2, already featured on the rear panel of the Wolf, with the
addition of a foldback output for each of them (i.e. a replica signal of the input signal buffered independently). In addition,
the Breakout Box features an MPX output associated, via internal relay, to the MPX-1 input or the MPX-2 output, in
conjunction with any AUX signal that might be present.
11
In the event of power failure, a relay establishes a direct connection (via hardware bypass) between the AUX
input and the aforesaid output. Finally, the Breakout Box has two equivalent test outputs, which repeat the
signal available at the Out MPX output.

Each of the two input sections (the sections dedicated to connection to the signal to be distributed) provides
locally, in turn, a buffered output with adjustable level via trimmer and a second non-buffered (passive) output,
which is useful for direct monitoring of the signal injected at the input. N.B: the application of a load signal to
this output can have direct effects on the signal present at the input connector. The buffered output is
equipped with a relay hardware bypass circuit that connects 'mechanically' to the input connector in the event
of a power failure.

OUT 1, OUT 2, OUT 3, OUT 4), these can be fully configured as required; the default jumper settings inside
the Breakout Box are such that these always reproduce OUT C.

All inputs and outputs are transformer de-coupled, with a characteristic impedance of 110 ohms.

They can also be configured as copy of the INPUT C or INPUT D signal by modifying the internal jumpers
