The device and the peripheral distribution devices must be earthed
in accordance with the provisions of EN 60728-11 and must remain
earthed even when the device is disassembled. For this purpose, if
available use the earthing connection of the device or the earthing ter­minal enclosed (4 mm
with EN 60728 - 11 and EN 60065.

The permissible ambient temperature range is: - 10 °C to + 45 °C.

Unused subscriber ports and if applicable

trunk line inputs and outputs must be terminated

Electronic devices are not household waste but rather must be disposed
of properly in accordance with directive DIN EN 50419 (reflects article

1. Product description

The BluBox 32v1 headend converts DVB-S/S2 into DVB-C (QAM).

The device has 4 SAT IF and 2 AUX inputs (950 ... 2150 MHz) per 16 QAM channels. An integrated RF
switching allows connection 16 demodulators to SAT ports. Demodulated transport stream reaches
processor, which filters services, modifies SI (Service Information), generates NIT (Network Information
table), LCN (Local Channel Number), restamps PCR (Program Clock Reference). Then transport stream is
forwarded to QAM modulators, which produces independent DVB-C RF signals.
Configuration and monitoring take place via web interface.
The headends are equipped with redundant switched-mode power supply.
The housing is intended for wall mounting or the mounting in a 19“ rack.
The product is intended for indoor usage only.

2. Safety instructions

Installation of the BluBox 32v1 must be done according IEC 60728-11 and national safety standards.
The BluBox 32 v1 is powered from mains 240 V~. This voltage is dangerous to life.
Any repairs must be done by a qualified personnel only.
The device correspond to Protection Class I.

To avoid the electric shock follow these instructions:

s Do not plug BluBox 32v1 into the mains supply if the power cord or plug is damaged.
s To disconnect the BluBox 32v1 from the mains completely, disconnect plug from mains socket.
s The mains socket must be easily accessible.
s The BluBox 32v1 shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing water and no objects filled with

liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on it.

s Avoid placing device next to the central heating components and in areas of high humidity.
s No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, are allowed to be placed on BluBox 32v1.
s If the device has been kept in cold conditions for a long time, keep it in a warm room no less

than 2 hours before plugging into the mains.

s Do not insert any objects into ventilation openings.
s The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the BluBox 32v1 with items, such as

newspapers, table-cloths, curtains.
s Mount the BluBox 32v1 on not flammable vertical wall or in not flammable installation box in
vertical position.

Mounting position:

- only vertical position (as shown in the picture)
