Important locating and setting-up instructions
Location
Every electronic device produces heat. This heat is not dangerous. It cannot be
ruled out however, that over a long period of time, sensitive furniture surfaces and
veneers will be lightly discoloured due to the radiated heat.
The rubber-feet of the receiver can also cause colour changes to sensitive sur-
faces. Placing the receiver on an underlay will eliminate this problem.
Ventilation
The heat generated by the receiver will be adequately dissipated. Never install the
receiver in a cupboard, on shelving or in a rack with inadequate ventilation. The re-
ceivers ventilation slots are necessary, never block them off.
Do not place anything on top of the receiver. Ensure that there is at least 5cm. of
free space all around the receiver in order to dissipate the generated heat correctly.
Mains supply
The receiver requires a DC voltage of 12 – 24V, and the power unit must be con-
nected to a 230V / 50 Hz. AC supply.
The equipment should only be connected to the mains supply at the end of the in-
stallation.
Humidity
Protect the receiver against moistness, dripping and sprayed water.
Sunlight / Heating
Do not place the receiver close to a heating device, or directly in the sunlight
LNB Voltage-supply
If an external supply voltage is used as the supply voltage for the feeder-system
(LNB) and polarity inversion can not be achieved (e.g. Kathrein single cable supply
system UAS 330), then the receivers LNB voltage-supply must be switched to ”Off”
(see section ”Basic setting-up LNB voltage-supply”).
The receiver may be damaged if it is not switched to ”OFF”.
