Connecting and Setting-up the Receiver

You will find a connection example at the rear of this book in the section ”Connection Example”.

Warning!The equipment should only be connected to the mains after all the relevant instal- lation regulations have been complied with.

Please see the section ”Safety and Location Information”.

Receiver Location

Although the satellite receiver UFD 346 is designed for mobile homes (campers) and caravans, it may also be used from a stationary position in the house.

Locating the Receiver

The receivers modern compact design with its reduced dimensions enables you to position the receiver within sight, i.e. on top of the TV. In this case, push the infra- red sensor into the well at the front of the receiver and guide the cable through the cable-canal in the bottom to the rear-panel. (see picture below). Connect the West- ern plug to the Western socket (2).

Due to its compactness, the receiver may also be placed behind the TV out of sight. The receiver may also be fixed to the wall. To help you drill the holes in the correct position there is a drilling template at the rear of this instruction book.

In this case the infra-red sensor must be placed apart from the receiver.

Infra-red Sensor

The movable infra-red sensor receives the remote control signal and feeds it through the cable into the receiver. Naturally the movable sensor may be placed apart from the receiver. In order to save space, the receiver may be positioned any where within sight and range of the remote controller.

The sensor is connected to the receiver by means of an 8 pin Western plug. Con- nect this plug to the Western socket (2) on the rear panel.

For perfect operation ensure that the infra-red sensor is in an unobstructed position by the TV.
