BSS Audio BLU-16 Install Guide - Manual (Page 7)


Rear panel
BLU-80 shown. BLU-32 layout is identical.
BLU-16 has no CobraNetTM or Buddy Link connections but is otherwise identical to the
BLU-80 and BLU-32.
AC Mains
AC Mains input to the universal switched-mode power supply, operates over a wide range
of AC input voltages from 85V to 270V, 50/60Hz.
CobraNet Connectors
Primary/Secondary
The CobraNetTM compatible devices within the SoundwebTM London system are fitted
with a Peak Audio CobranetTM CM-1 module. The module itself offers a Primary and
a Secondary CobranetTM port. Under normal operation the Primary port only receives
audio data from and transmits audio data to the network. Should the Primary port or
connection fail, the CM-1 module automatically switches to receive from and transmit
with the Secondary port.
Locate
Pressing the Locate switch on the rear of the unit will illuminate the Locate switch on the
front and identify the device within London Architect. Similarly the switch will illuminate
if the device is selected from within London Architect or from the Locate switch on the
front panel.
RS232
Serial port for connection of external control equipment.
Ethernet
The main connection for the proprietary system control network, and for third party
Ethernet control.
Buddy Link/48k
The CobraNetTM Buddy Link In/Out BNC connectors allow two similarly configured
Soundweb London devices to be linked together and operate as a redundant pair with
fail-over capability. A 48kHz system clock is generated at the Buddy Link Out port.
I/O Card Positions A, B, C and D
These connectors provide the balanced connections for the I/O card fitted in the four card
slots in a Soundweb London device. A green LED next to the slot assignment letter A, B, C
or D indicates that an Input card is fitted and an amber LED when an output card is fitted.
The analogue connections are balanced, on Phoenix/Combicon connectors.
