Sicherheitshinweise
The following section c ontains important information relating to operation, place of
installation and connect ing- up of the receiver. Read these notes carefully before
putting the unit into operation.
Important notes regarding operation
Extended absence/Thunderstorms
During periods of extended abs enc e or at the onset of thunderstorms always dis -
connect the unit from the supply , or withdraw the mains plug if the power supply
unit is used. This also applies to any other equipment attac hed.
Mains lead
Make certain that t he mains lead (power s upply lead) is undam aged. Never put the
unit into operation if the mains lead is damaged.
Cleaning
Withdraw the PSU mains plug before cleaning the unit. Use a dry cloth for c lean-
ing.
Children-at-play
Pay attention that c hildr en do not insert objects into the vent ilation slots. There is a
risk of mortal danger due t o elec tric shock.
Repairs
On no account remove the housing cover s inc e there are dangerous voltages in-
side the unit that may be contac ted. The unit must only be opened by qualified
specialists, s o allow them to carry out any repairs or adjustm ents to your r ec eiv er .
Unauthorised opening ent ails los s of guarantee.
The electrical safety of the unit can be affected by improper tam per ing with it
The manufactur er ‘s liability ex c ludes ac c idents occurring to the user when the unit
is opened.

Important notes for siting and installation
Place of installation
Every electronic dev ic e gener ates some heat. The rise in temperatur e, however ,
lies within safe limit s . Never theless, this does not rule out t he possibilit y of slight
colour changes to sensitive furniture surfac es and veneers ov er time due to the
constant effect of heat.
In conjunction with treated furniture surfaces , the unit‘s rubber feet can likewise
give rise to changes in colour . Where necessary, place the unit on a suit able pad.
Ventilation
The heat that is generat ed in this unit is dissipated quite adequat ely . Never install
the receiver in a cabinet , shelf or rack with inadequate ventilation. Never close-off
the openings on the unit t hat are intended for heat dissipation.
Do not place objects on top of the unit . Maintain a clearance of at least 10 cm
above the unit so that the heat gener ated within the unit is convect ed away without
obstruction.
Mains voltage
Run the receiver only f r om a 12 –24V d.c. volt age s upply or from 230 V / 50 Hz
when using the mains pack supplied.
The unit is not to be connected t o the mains until after all the installation work has
been completed.
Humidity
Protect the unit agains t humidity, drips and splashes.
Solar radiation/heat
Do not place the receiver close t o r adiators nor expose it to direct sunlight.
LNB supply voltage
If the feeder system (LNB) is supplied wit h an ex ternal supply voltage and the LNB
supply voltage is not us ed for polar ity switchover (e.g. Kat hr ein s ingle- c able feeder
system UAS 330), the receiver‘s LNB supply must be set to “OFF”(refer to section:
“Initial settings, LNB supply voltage“).
There is a risk that the rec eiv er may s uff er damage if the change-over is not carried
out.
Connecting up and putting into operation

Anschluß und Inbetriebnahme
A sample configurat ion is to be found in section: “Connection example“ .
Attention!
Do not connect the unit t o the mains supply until after the installat ion wor k has
been carried out properly..
Please take note of guidance in sec tion: “Safety- and Inst allation Instructions”
Installing the receiver
The UFD 345 satellite receiv er is s uitable for mobile use in motor homes or cara-
vans, but can also serve as a fix ed station in the home.
Place of installation
The modern, elegant des ign of the receiver with its modest dimensions m eans it
can be placed in visual range, on t op of t he TV s et, for ex ample. In this case, insert
the infrared sensor into the locating slot on the front of the rec eiv er 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 conc ealed
from view behind the TV set. Alt er natively, the receiver can be mounted on the
wall. For this, t her e is a drilling t em plate for the required drill holes at the end of the
guide. Cut the template out if required. In this case, the infrar ed s ens or is sited
separately.
Infrared sensor
The detachable infrar ed s ens or r ec eiv es the signals from the remote control and
passes them on to the receiver v ia the cable. As a result, it allows the sensor and
receiver to be sit ed separat ely . Consequently, the receiver c an be sited outside the
reception range (line of s ight) of the remote control, thus saving on spac e.
Connection of the sens or to t he receiver is v ia the 8-way Western plug, which you
should connect to t he Western s oc k et (2) on the rear of the receiver.
For optimum working, the infrared sensor should be sited at a clear ly v is ible s pot
near the TV set
Connecting up t he un it
Power supply
With mobile use, the rec eiv er s hould be c onnec ted directly to the vehicle‘s on-
board supply (12 ... 24 V) using t he adaptor cable included (adaptor cable with uni-
versal plug for cigarette lighter or vehicle socket out let and inner hollow conductor
plug).
Connecting up and putting into operation
8
Connect inner hollow conductor plug to the power supply socket (6) .
Caution!
If the power supply cable is m odified or a different one is used, it is ess ential t o
check for correct polarit y . Incorrect polarity will result in damage to the receiver.
For fixed applicat ions us e the acc om pany ing
power supply unit 230 V~/16 V =.
Satellite signal connection
•
Connect the Sat IF input of t he r ec eiv er to the satellite receiving system.
•
For the connection use a coax ial c able with an F-type connecting plug.
If the F connector is not yet f itt ed to the cable:
•
Insulate the cable as indic ated in the following illustration, and
•
Carefully screw the F connector onto the cable end until it is firmly seated on
the cable.
Attention!
Do not use any tools to screw the F plug onto the cable or to tighten to the F
socket. Put the connectors on hand-tight only.
Attention!
When fitting the plug, m ak e cert ain that none of the fine wires of the braided shield
makes contact with the inner c onduc tor giving rise to a short-c ircuit .
Receiving system presets
Presetting car r ied out for the control signals was for conventional receiving sys-
tems, thus 14/18 V for polarit y s witching and 22 kHz switching signal for satellite
selection in the case of multifeed receiving systems .
If DiSEqC or tone-burst switching matrices are to be used in the receiving system,
the setting must be select ed for "DiSEqC" signal or "Tone Burst” in the init ial s etup
menu at submenu “DiSEqC“.
For this, refer to sect ion: “Initial settings, DiSE qC m enu“ .
Also take note of the technic al guide for the matrices.
Connecting up and putting into operation

TV and video recorder connection (VCR)
•
Connect-up the sat ellite receiver (TV Scart socket ) and TV set with a Scart ca-
ble.
If your TV set has stereo capability , a Scart connection allows you to rec eiv e the
sound in stereo.
•
Connect-up the video rec or der and s atellite receiver (VCR Scart soc k et) again
using a Scart cable.
Decoder connection
You can also connect-up a dec oder to t he r ec eiv er for P ay-T V program m es.
No further setting is nec es s ar y for decoders that require a video signal and supply
a switching signal, such as Premiere decoder and Videocrypt decoder, for exam-
ple..
Important
With decoders that do not supply a s witching voltage, the receiver m us t be pro-
grammed appropriately beforehand (see “The video menu” s ection in c hapter “Pro-
gramming TV programmes“).
Also take note of the decoder spec ification!
•
Using a Scart cable connect- up the decoder to the decoder Scart socket .
Inserting batteries into remote control handset
•
Remove the cover on the rear of t he remot e c ontrol hands et.
•
Insert both of the batteries supplied into the remote c ontrol hands et.
Make certain that t he batt er ies ar e ins er ted with the correct polarity!
•
Replace the cover again.
Note
Exhausted batt er ies ar e special waste and should not be disposed of wit h house-
hold refuse. Instead, hand them in to a collection centre f or used bat teries!
