a f e t y r e g u l a t i o n s a n d n o t e s • Assembly, installation and servicing should be carried out by authorised electricians. • Switch off the operating voltage of the system before beginning with assem- bly or service work or pull out the mains plug.
You can find the current operating software for the control unit and the cassette, the software "BE-Flash" and the current assembly instructions on the website "www.mygss.eu". The cassette is intended for use in GSS.modular professional head-end stations. - 5 - PAMS 4000...

s s e m b l y 3.1 i n s ta l l i n g t h e C a s s e t t e – Ensure the head-end station is mounted so it will not be able to vibrate. Avoid, for example, mounting the head-end station onto a lift shaft or any other wall or floor construction that vibrates in a similar way.
3.2 emC r e g u l at i o n s To comply with the current EMC regulations, it is necessary to connect the lines leading in and out of the head-end station using cable terminals. When mounting the cassette in a head-end station which is installed in a 19" cabinet, make sure the connections leading in and out for the 19" cabinet are made using cable terminals. The attenuation of shielding of the connection lines for ASI and antenna must meet the requirements for "Class A". CLASS • Insert the required number of cable terminals in the openings provided in the head-end station or in the 19" cabinet. Tighten the nuts on the cable terminals until the teeth on the lock washer have penetrated the exterior coating and a good connection is made between the housing and cable terminals.
• Connect the ASI output of an PADE 4000 to the ASI input of the PAMS 4000. • Connect RF output of the PAMS 4000 via an F feedthrough from the head-end station (see page 8). • Connect the head-end station to the mains. - 10 -...

i n a l P r o C e d u r e s After installing the head-end station, upgrading accessories or installing cas- settes it is necessary to tighten all cable connections, cable terminals and cover screws in order to maintain compliance with current EMC regulations securely. • Securely tighten the cable connections using an appropriate open-ended spanner. • Measure the output levels of the other cassettes and tune them to a uniform output level using the appropriate level controls or software dependent on the head-end station used.
