Frequently Asked Questions - UWS 24 KATHREIN

How do I install the Kathrein UWS 24 switch?

Mount the switch on a wall using the included screws. Connect the input cables (e.g., satellite and terrestrial) to the corresponding inputs. Connect the output cables to your devices. Plug in the power adapter.

What is the power consumption of the UWS 24?

The UWS 24 consumes approximately 5 watts in normal operation.

Is the UWS 24 compatible with all satellite receivers?

Yes, it supports standard satellite IF signals (950-2150 MHz) and is compatible with most receivers. For specific compatibility, consult your receiver manual.

Can I use the UWS 24 for both satellite and terrestrial TV?

Yes, it has two inputs: one for satellite (SAT) and one for terrestrial (e.g., DVB-T/T2). The switch allows you to distribute either signal to the outputs.

How many outputs does the UWS 24 have?

The UWS 24 has 4 outputs, allowing you to connect up to 4 devices to the selected input.

Does the UWS 24 require external power?

Yes, it requires a 12V DC power adapter (included). Make sure to use the supplied adapter to avoid damage.

What is the frequency range of the UWS 24?

The frequency range is 5-2400 MHz, covering both satellite and terrestrial bands.

How do I clean and maintain the UWS 24?

Disconnect the power before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the housing. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners. Ensure ventilation slots are not blocked.

What should I do if the switch does not power on?

Check that the power adapter is properly connected to the switch and to a working outlet. If the LED does not light up, try a different outlet. If the problem persists, contact customer support.

Is the UWS 24 wall-mountable?

Yes, it has mounting holes on the back. Use the included screws to attach it to a wall or other flat surface. Ensure the cables are not strained.

USER MANUAL UWS 24 KATHREIN

Wideband to Quatro Converter

About this Manual

This document is part of the product.

▶ Read this manual carefully before using the converter for the first time.
▶ Keep this document for reference throughout the service life of the device and pass it on to any new owner or user.

For the most up-to-date version of this manual, go to www.kathrein-ds.com.

Features

■ Converter for converting two wideband signals to four SAT-IF levels
The use of terminating resistor EMK 03 (order no. 237169) enables the adaptation to the LNB's oscillator frequency (10.40 GHz or 10.41 GHz)
■ Power supply via "horizontal low" trunk
■ Terrestrial signals in the 5–862 MHz band can be received even when the satellite receiver is switched off
■ Installation on EXR 2508 (order no. 20510095) or EXR 2558 (order no. 20510096) possible using EMU 250 coupler (order no. 20510044)
- Kathrein Power Saving: If no receiver is active in a system using Kathrein Power Saving, both the LNB and the converter are switched off

Transport and Storage

▶ Use the original packaging for transporting the device; store it in a dry place
▶ Make sure there is no water condensation build-up.

Intended Use

The device described in this manual is only intended for the installation of satellite reception systems and may only be installed by trained specialists
▶ Any other use or the non-observance of these instructions will result in the loss of the warranty and guarantee
The manufacturer accepts no liability for accidents caused by the user opening the unit
▶ Opening the unit and attempting to repair it yourself voids all warranty claims

Safety Precautions

Improper intervention can endanger the electrical safety of the device.

▶ Do not open or tamper with the unit
▶ Always disconnect the mains plug from the socket when working on the system
▶ Ensure adequate clearance: at least 5 cm to all sides
▶ Ensure free circulation of air to dissipate the heat from the unit
▶ Do not place any liquid-fi lled items on top of the device
▶ Do not expose the device to dripping or splashing water
▶ Admissible ambient temperature: -20 to +55 °C
▶ The device may only be installed in dry indoor areas
▶ Do not install the device on or against easily combustible material
The device is intended for wall mounting only! All other installation positions are prohibited
▶ Comply with the safety regulations set out in the current EN 60728-11 and EN 62368-1 standards
The equipment must be provided with an equipotential bonding wire (Cu, at least 4 mm ² )

Installation Instructions

Risk of damage to property!

Use a coaxial cable with an inner conductor diameter of 1.2 mm max. and without any burrs. Ensure short-circuit-free installation.

▶ Connectors for coaxial cables: 75 Ω RF connectors (F series) according to EN 61169-24
▶ Use wood screws (max. ∅ 4 mm) for fastening
▶ May not be installed in damp rooms
▶ Use recommended accessories only

Input level:

To prevent overloading of the inputs, the level must not exceed 80 dB µ V per transponder.

For higher input levels (> 80 dB µ V) we recommend to use an attenuator (e.g. ERE 01 with 6 dB, order no. 274854).

Observe the oscillator frequency of the LNB:

Wideband feed systems using an oscillator frequency of 10.41 GHz are available on the market. To be able to use these, screw an EMK 03 terminating resistor onto the "config" socket. The change is effective immediately.

This is not required when using the Kathrein feed system UAS 582 (order no 20110032.
