Introduction

SourceCon™ Bluetooth receiver module

The BMP40 is a professional Bluetooth receiver module featuring SourceCon™ modular technology. This unique technology guarantees true plug & play implementation to any compatible device. When inserted to a supporting slot, the module is instantly installed, discovered and ready for operation without requiring any additional internal wiring or complex configuration.

The BMP40 receiver offers wireless connection possibilities for audio playback from any Bluetooth compatible portable device including laptops, smartphones, tablets or any other. A long range transmission distance (up to 30 meters) is possible depending on the installed environment. Device discovery and pairing protection with a storage up to 8 authorized devices shall prevent playback from unauthorized users in public area's.

All media information such as track and artist information can be retrieved from the BMP40 (if supported by the connected device, more info on P15: technical specifications), while playback control is possible from the connected device or remote control.

The antenna input is implemented by an SMA-type (50 Ω) connector on its panel, allowing connection of the included (2 dBi) antenna while extension is possible in situations where its installed in a closed / shielded cabinet. The balanced stereo line output is connected through two 3-pin terminal block connections.

Overview BMP40

Green electronic circuit board with green connectors and a black wireless antenna (no visible text or symbols)

The BMP40 is a SourceCon™ compatible module featuring an (internal) board-edge connector which carries all signals for getting it connected to any supporting main unit.

All external in & output connections shall be made using the available connectors on the panel.

1) Balanced stereo line output:

The balanced stereo line output is implemented using two 3-pin terminal block connectors. The audio output available on this connector allows it to be fed to any amplifier or pre-amplifier.

2) SMA-type antenna connection:

The antenna (input) connection is implemented using an SMA-type (male) connector where to the supplied antenna should get connected. Depending of the installation conditions (e.g. when installed in a closed / shielded cabinet), it can be extended using optional available accessories for optimal reception conditions.

Chapter 3 Using the BMP40

Since the BMP40 is a SourceCon™ module, it can be combined with a variation of supporting main units. The operation and configuration interface might be different of the unit where installed, however the offered functionality is identical. Some devices will support control and configuration through a front panel graphical control interface on a display, while others are also supporting web-control.

This manual describes the control configuration possibilities using front panel control. For applications where more control possibilities are offered, check the instruction manual of the used main device for more instructions.

Module screen

Connecting:

The main module screen of the BMP40 indicates the connection status of the receiver. To avoid audio playback by unauthorized users in public installations, transmitter and receiver pairing is required when connecting for the first time.

Bluetooth receiver Discoverable for 60s

When transmitter and receiver haven't been paired before, the receiver won't be discoverable from the transmitting device. For making it discoverable, press the *button. Subsequently, the receiver is discoverable and allows connection for about 60 seconds from any transmitting device.

Once connected, the main module screen displays the name for the connected device and it will become undiscoverable for other devices.

Once both transmitter and receiver have been paired, the receiver will remain connectable for that particular transmitter, even when the connection button hasn't been pressed. The BMP40 memory stores up to 8 authorized device ID's.

Bluetooth receiver Connected to 'DeviceName'

Player:

The ♪ (player) button gets you to the player mode screen where track information is displayed (if supported by the connected transmitter) and previous and next audio track selection can be done.

Home:

The home) button gets you back to the main screen of the device where the BMP40 is installed to.

Settings:

The ⚙️ (settings) button is selected through pressing the rotary selection dial. This button gets you to the settings menu of the BMP40 where all configurations can be made.

Player mode

In this screen, all available media information about the currently playing files is shown including track, artist or any other information, while previous and next audio track selection can be done.

Note that the displayed information in this screen depends on the supported functions of the connected transmitter.

Bluetooth receiver Track name Track info 0:30 1:59

Track selection:

The playing track can be selected by pressing the (previous track) and (next track) buttons. When selected, the first next supported track will be selected and start playing.

Play / pause:

Toggling between play and pause is done by pressing the play/pause button with ▶ (play) or ▪ (pause) symbols. Depending of the current mode, the displayed symbol on the icon will toggle.

Return:

The ◆(return) button gets you back to the main module screen of the BMP40.

Settings screen

The settings menu for BMP40 can be loaded by pressing the rotary selection dial.

Output gain:

The gain can be adjusted within a range of +8 dB and -82 dB, allowing optimization of the output level according to the input sensitivity of the connected amplifier or pre-amplifier. For adjusting the output gain, rotate the function dial until 'Gain' is highlighted and press it for proceeding to the gain settings. The level can be adjusted by rotating clockwise (tuning up) or counter-clockwise (tuning down). Press the rotary dial for confirming the currently set output level.

BMP40 SETTINGS Output gain Connected Paired Info Factory reset 0dB

Connected:

Information about the connected transmitting device is shown when highlighted 'Connected'. This menu includes the device name and mac address. Press the rotary selection dial twice for disconnecting the currently connected device.

Paired:

8 device ID's of recently paired transmitters are stored as authorized devices and shown in this list. These authorized devices are allowed for direct pairing with the BMP40 without making it discoverable. (without pressing the *button in the main module screen)

Devices can be removed from this list by pressing the rotary dial when highlighted 'Paired', allowing browsing through the list. Select the device and press the rotary dial again to remove it from the pairing list. (select OK to remove, or cancel to keep it)

Info:

Installing the BMP40

CAUTION

Before installing the BMP40 to any SourceCon™ compatible device, make sure the power is switched off. Malfunctions or electrical shocks may occur otherwise.

Step 1:

Make sure that the slot where to the module should be installed is open and ready for installation. Depending of the main unit, some module slots will be covered by blind panels when delivered. The corresponding blind panels should be removed by releasing the screws on both ends.

Step 2:

Before removing the modules from their protective bag, we recommend touching a grounded metal chassis (or any other grounded point) to prevent electrostatic discharges affecting the sensitive electronic components. It is recommended to always hold the module card by the metal connection panel and avoid touching of the components on the circuit board directly.

Step 3:

Align both edges of the module with the guide rails inside the slot and carefully insert the module into the slot. It should slide into the slot without any considerable resistance when well positioned into the guide rail.

MODULE 3 GND 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 R L + + - FMP-40 AUDAC 0 10 11 12 13 14 15 C CE

Step 4:

Some resistance might occur when the module's board edge connector reaches the connection counterpart on the main board. Gently push the module all the way into the slot to ensure that the contacts are correctly inserted. The module is well inserted when its connection panel touches the metal chassis of the main device where inserted to.

Step 5:

Fasten the module into the slot using the included screws. Be aware that damage or malfunctions may occur if the module is not correctly fastened.
