BLU-CIF2 Cat5e Wiring Instructions

IMPORTANT: IF you are using CAT5e wiring termination with the

BLU-CIF2, 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-CIF2 Interface Board.

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

component damage.

The BLU-CIF2 Interface Board

simplifies the wiring of all of the BLU

products to two 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-CIF2

accommodates connections for two

BLU-CC, two BLU-CP, two BLU-

CS, up to five BLU-IR, or up to seven

BLU-SV / BLU-SV8 plus Emtech

MSC-C modules for providing audio

in overflow areas. It is designed for

mounting on the back door of a 19”

rack.

There are no switches associated with the C switch connectors on the new version of CIF2 board. IN11 and IN12 are bit encoded with 4 bits each. CSW1 and C-SW2 map to IN11, and C-SW3 and IR4-5 map to IN12. When either a C switch or IR get wired to the CIF board, the device will be automatically detected. The pin-outs on the C switch connectors are: C-SW1 thru 3 1. +24V 2. SW1 3. SW2 4.

BLU-CIF2 PWR RELAY & OF RELAY Wiring Instructions There are four separate relay connectors on the right side of the CIF2 board. The 2-pin PWR_1 & PWR_2 connections are used to power on external equipment. This connection will supply +24VDC @ 100mA on the “+24” pin when logic output 6 on the DSP is triggered. The voltage from the +24 pin is typically connected to an external power relay coil, which will then switch 120VAC on to the external equipment.

Control Inputs connector mates with the cable with Control_Port1 (Black) connector. Logic Outputs connector mates with the cable with Logic Inputs (Green) connector. 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.

wiring that must be done on the new BLU-CIF2 board for these to work properly with the old template. No additional wiring needs to be done when using the older versions of the BLU-CP and BLU-CS with the new BLUCIF2 board. When using the new BLU-CC2 with the new BLU-CIF2 board, new templates are required but not additional wiring. Contact BSS Audio for new templates.
