INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

INSTALLATION OF THE UFS 740SW RECEIVER

The turntable is controlled by the UFS 740sw DVB-S receiver.

The cable lengths must be taken into account when choosing the installation location. For suspended installation use the installation kit supplied with the receiver.

Note: When choosing the installation location, bear in mind that the on/off switch and the slots for inserting common interface modules should always be accessible. The UFS 740sw is equipped with a power saving circuit and a separate infrared transmitter, which means that the unit does not need to be placed where it is visible. You can therefore fit the UFS 740sw out of sight in any location, e.g. on cupboard walls, side walls or the base of storage compartments.

In addition, the following points should be taken into account:

The wall thickness at the installation location must be at least 12 mm, as otherwise the screws will break through on the other side or damage the surface

The receiver must be placed in such a way as to allow sufficient air circulation behind, above and next to the unit (installation using the installation kit ensures this). Installation on carpet-covered walls is therefore unsuitable

Ensure that the cupboard or storage compartment in which the unit is housed is adequately ventilated, to prevent a build up of heat

Take care when tightening the screws not to damage any cables etc. behind or in the wall

The receiver is designed for installation in exclusively dry, interior locations. The installation location must be protected against moisture

The connecting cables must be provided with strain reliefs

The receiver must be connected to no other power supply than 12 V DC. The receiver’s earth connection must be connected to the negative pole of the motor home or caravan battery.

CAP 600 specifications

The Kathrein CAP 600 is a cutting-edge solution designed for the modern telecommunications landscape, catering primarily to the demands of mobile network operators and service providers. This compact, high-performance active antenna system is engineered to enhance connectivity in urban environments, significantly improving network efficiency and user experience.

One of the key features of the Kathrein CAP 600 is its multi-band capability. It supports various frequency bands including LTE, 5G NR, and others, making it versatile for both current and future network deployments. This allows operators to seamlessly upgrade their services without needing to overhaul their infrastructure.

The CAP 600 is equipped with advanced MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) technology, which leverages multiple antennas at both transmitting and receiving ends to boost data throughput and reliability. This technology is essential for maximizing spectral efficiency, thus accommodating more users and higher data rates in dense urban areas.

In terms of design, the Kathrein CAP 600 features a compact and lightweight structure. This is crucial for installations in constrained environments where space is at a premium. The antenna's sleek aesthetics also allow it to blend into its surroundings, thereby reducing visual impact, which is often a concern in urban deployments.

The antenna incorporates intelligent software features that facilitate dynamic beamforming. This enables targeted coverage, allowing signals to be directed towards users rather than being broadcast in all directions, thus minimizing interference and optimizing network performance. Additionally, the built-in remote management capabilities allow operators to monitor and manage network performance in real-time, enhancing operational efficiency.

Regarding sustainability, the CAP 600 is designed with energy efficiency in mind. The use of advanced materials and optimized hardware contributes to lower energy consumption, making it an environmentally friendly choice for operators looking to reduce their carbon footprint.

Overall, the Kathrein CAP 600 is a sophisticated solution that meets the high demands of modern mobile networks. With its advanced features, technologies, and commitment to sustainable operations, it represents a pivotal component for any operator looking to enhance connectivity and provide exceptional service in today’s dynamic telecommunications environment.
