Please take note of guidance in section: “Safety- and Installation Instructions”
Installing the receiver
The UFD 345 satellite receiver is suitable for mobile use in motor homes or cara-
vans, but can also serve as a fixed station in the home.
Place of installation
The modern, elegant design of the receiver with its modest dimensions means it
can be placed in visual range, on top of the TV set, for example. In this case, insert
the infrared sensor into the locating slot on the front of the receiver and run the ca-
ble to the rear via the cable channel on the bottom of the receiver (see below).
Connect the Western plug to the Western socket (2).
Due to its modest dimensions, however, the receiver can also be placed concealed
from view behind the TV set. Alternatively, the receiver can be mounted on the
wall. For this, there is a drilling template for the required drill holes at the end of the
guide. Cut the template out if required. In this case, the infrared sensor is sited
separately.
Infrared sensor
The detachable infrared sensor receives the signals from the remote control and
passes them on to the receiver via the cable. As a result, it allows the sensor and
receiver to be sited separately. Consequently, the receiver can be sited outside the
reception range (line of sight) of the remote control, thus saving on space.
Connection of the sensor to the receiver is via the 8-way Western plug, which you
should connect to the Western socket (2) on the rear of the receiver.
For optimum working, the infrared sensor should be sited at a clearly visible spot
near the TV set
Connecting up the unit
Power supply
With mobile use, the receiver should be connected directly to the vehicle‘s on-
board supply (12 ... 24 V) using the adaptor cable included (adaptor cable with uni-
versal plug for cigarette lighter or vehicle socket outlet and inner hollow conductor
plug).
