BLU-CIF Cat5e Wiring Instructions

IMPORTANT: IF you are using CAT5e wiring termination with the

BLU-CIF, then the RJ-45 connectors need to be crimped to TIA/EIA 568B

Standards (see below) on both ends of the cable. You must crimp and test

the wiring with an approved CAT5 568A/B tester before connecting any

cable between the BLU Products and the BLU-CIF Interface Board.

Failure to crimp wiring to the correct standard could possibly lead to

component damage.

The BLU-CIF Interface Board

simplifies the wiring of all of

the BLU products to the BSS

Audio London Series Digital

Signal Processors. It allows

for Cat5e wiring termination, as

well as, termination to 3.5mm

euro-style blocks. The BLU-

CIF accommodates connections

for the BLU-CC, BLU-CP,

BLU-CS, BLU-IR, BLU-SV,

BLU-SV8 or Emtech MSC-C

modules for combining audio in

overflow areas. It is designed

for mounting on the back door

of a 19

BLU- CIF Interface Board The BLU-CIF Interface Board simplifies the wiring of all of the BLU products to the BSS Audio London Series Digital Signal Processors. It allows for Cat5e wiring termination, as well as, termination to 3.5mm euro-style blocks. The BLUCIF accommodates connections for the BLU-CC, BLU-CP, BLU-CS, BLU-IR, BLU-SV, BLU-SV8 or Emtech MSC-C modules for combining audio in overflow areas. It is designed for mounting on the back door of a 19” rack.

On the left side of the BLU-CIF Interface Board is a 2 X 4 block of RJ-45 connectors for terminating the BLU products via Cat5e wiring. The BLU products connect in this order (left to right): BLU- CIF RJ-45 CONNECTIONS BLU-CP1 TOP ROW BTTM ROW BLU-CS/SV1 BLU-CC1A BLU-CC1B BLU-SV2 BLU-IR1 BLU-IR2 BLU-IR3 IMPORTANT: If you use the RJ-45 block for connecting the BLU-CC, BLU-CP, BLU-CS, BLU-IR and BLU-SV(8), then do not use any of the 3.5mm euro-style connectors for these accessories.

A remote control can be used for controlling the volume of the various microphone inputs in the cultural hall. When wiring for a remote application wire to IN5 thru IN9, Ref and GND on CC1A, CC1B and SV2. BLU-CIF / MSC-C Wiring Instructions Some existing buildings already use Emtech MSC-C modules to provide chapel audio for the cultural hall and overflow areas. The BLU-CIF is designed to allow these existing modules to interface with the BSS Audio DSP.

“+” (pin 3), and the “-“ (pin 2) to the “-“ (pin 4), when output port 5 on the DSP is triggered. This is typically used to switch speaker level signals, so an overflow room can be fed directly from an amplifier without needing its own dedicated amplifier channel. Connecting the BLU-CIF to the BSS Audio London Series DSP The BLU-CIF ships with two pre-fabricated 12-conductor cables. Each cable has 3.5mm connectors on both ends. On one end, the 3.

The 3.5mm connectors on the opposite end of each cable are orange. They match the color of the mating connector on the back of the DSP and are labeled “top” and “bottom”, so make sure that the cables are connected correctly on the DSP side. Another way to remember : Black on the board goes to the top connection on the DSP, and Green on the board goes to the bottom connection on the DSP.
