MINI MODULAR HEADEND MMH3000
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Mini modular headend MMH3000 is compact solution for the distribution of DVB signals in SMATV
and CATV networks in analogue as well as in digital format.
The modern master-slave technology allows to build cost-effective analog TV installations and simplify
a circuitry of SAT IF and terrestrial input signal distribution.
Very flexible DVB-C and DVB-T transmitting system with minimal amount of the modules could be
done due to the original transport stream distribution system.
Communication over LAN, WAN or the Internet using bi-directional TSoIP module significantly extends
possibilities of the headend.
Up to 6 modules could be assembled into the UC360 base unit which incorporates a power supply unit,
RF amplifier and intelligent data bus. The data bus will automatically identify to the required USB link
software, any modules and their relevant position within the base unit with tuning and setting parameters.
Up to 16 base units can be connected together via a data bus.
Where 2 or more programmes are required from the same channel multiplex, the slave MPEG/VSB
modules are available which can be configured to tune additional programmes from a single digital channel.
The programming of MMH3000 can be made locally by handheld control unit by connecting the USB
software link using a PC or remotely through the internet or other communication line using advanced
control and monitoring software. It is also possible to “clone” headends from the settings saved in a
configuration file. The base unit can be installed into a standard 19" rack or stand-alone wall fixing by
reversing the mounting brackets 604.008.
The headend is intended for indoor use only.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read the user manual first and observe the safety instructions.
Installation of the headend must be made in accordance with IEC60728-11 and local safety standards
by qualified personnel.
Any repairs must be done by an authorised technical professional staff.
The supplied mains cord is terminated at one end with a 2-pin connector, which must be inserted into
the mains input socket on the top panel of base unit before connecting to the mains supply.
Do not plug the headend into the mains supply if the power cord or plug is damaged.
To disconnect the headend, disconnect plug from mains socket.
The mains socket must be easily accessible.
Headend shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing water and no objects filled with liquids, such
as vases, shall be placed on it.
Avoid placing headend next to central heating components and in areas of high humidity.
No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on headend.
If the headend 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.
Do not insert any objects into ventilation openings.
The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items, such as
newspapers, table-cloths, curtains.
Mount the headend in vertical position.
From top, front and bottom of installed headend must be at least 10 cm free space.
No service work during storm.

caution!
Electrostatic discharge caution. The module contain electrostatic sensitive components. To
minimize electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:
- Do not remove module from their antistatic plastic bag until you are ready to install it
into the basic unit.
- Hold the module only by the front panel of module.
- Do not place the module on an unprotected surface. Immediately after you remove a
module from the basic unit, you must insert it into its antistatic plastic bag.
- When the module is not in use, keep it in their antistatic plastic bag.
- Do not ship or store module and basic unit near strong electrostatic, electromagnetic or
radioactive fields.
This product complies with the relevant clauses of the European Directive 2002/96/EC. The
unit must be recycled or discarded according to applicable local and national regulations.
Equipment intended for indoor usage only.
Equipment is double insulated from the mains, with functional earthing.
Functional earthing. Connect to the main potential equalization.
TERRA confirms, that this product is in accordance to following norms of EU: EMC norm
EN50083-2, safety norm EN60065 and RoHS norm EN50581.
TERRA confirms, that this product is in accordance with Custom Union Technical Regulations:
“Electromagnetic compatibility of technical equipment“ CU TR 020/2011, “On safety of low voltage equipment“ CU TR 004/2011.
TERRA confirms, that this product is in accordance with safety standard AS/NZS 60065 and
EMC standards of Australia.
BASE UNIT UC360
MOUNTING
The base unit is intended to be wall mounted or fitted in a 19" rack. The base unit must be mounted
vertically to allow the free flow of ventilation and allow heat to escape. The base unit must be fixed with
steel screws Ø 6 mm. The screws are not included in a package. Where 2 or more base units are mounted
above each other it is important to leave minimum 10-15 cm free space between the base units to ensure
normal ventilation. In case when ventilation panel 400.024 (see chapter ACCESSORIES) is used connect
grounding bus, data bus and RF cables at first.
Note: the total weight of a fully equipped UC360 is approximately 10 kg.
