Mounting the Unit

Mounting Possibilities

The base unit UFG 810 is not only designed for wall mounting but also for installation in 19" cabinets.

Wall mounting:

The module carrier can be directly fixed to the wall using three screws ( 6 – 8 mm):

• Weight when fully equipped: approx. 25 kg.
- Dimensions for wall mounting: (see illustration of UFG 810 rear panel below, values in mm)

Installation in 19" Cabinet

In air-conditioned rooms with a maximum ambient temperature of 40 °C, up to four base units can be stacked one above the other in a standard 19" cabinet (with 40 RU).

A minimum of one height unit (1 RU) clearance must be left between each of the units.

Tipp

For installation in 19" racks, the two side pieces and the earth clip must be removed.

Mounting the Unit

1. Fit the base unit.
2. Connect potential equalisation according to the regulations (DIN EN 60728-11 and DIN EN 60065).
3. Prepare/park Sat-IF cables/drop cables (H and V) in the bottom section. The bottom plate can be removed to insert or install cables.
4. Connect the 230 V power cable which can also be lead/laid in the bottom section.

Setting the Unit into Operation

1. Install the system as described in Mounting the Unit.
2. Insert UFOcompact plus modules and tighten. It is also possible to build in older UFOcompact channel units. To do so, one UFZ 800 (order no. 20610124) channel unit adapter is required per one UFOcompact channel unit
3. Sat-IF drop cables (H and V) can be inserted directly into the modules (F-type connector) or through a matrix. All UFOcompact plus® modules are DiSEqC™-capable.
4. Insert RF connector cable(s) (F-Quick) between the output socket(s) of the module (F-type connector) and the output coupler in the head piece of the base unit. Fit unused RF female connectors with terminating resistors.
5. Connect system to network
6. Confi gure the UFOcompact plus® modules and UFOcompact® channel units over a management interface of the UFX 800 central control module. This can be done on site with a laptop or over remote control via TCP/IP using the USW 800 management software (available for free download at www.kathrein-ds.com).

Tipp

If the power supply system does not maintain the specified permissible voltage values (230 V\~ ± 10%), we recommend using an uninterrupted power supply unit that compensates this weakness of the electricity network.

Operating the Unit

Control of the channel unit is done over the UFX 800 control module, the control interface for all modules and channel units installed in the UFG 810 base unit.

Operation of the channel unit is performed via the graphical user interface (GUI) of the USW 800 control software. Instructions on how to operate are found in the USW 800 operating manual supplied as a pdf in the management software.
