USER MANUAL EXE 259 KATHREIN

As of 1 April 2019, KATHREIN SE’s (formerly KATHREIN-WERKE KG) “Terrestrial & Satellite Reception” business unit will be transferred to KATHREIN Digital Systems GmbH (limited liability company). From 1 April 2019, the new company data are: KATHREIN Digital Systems GmbH Anton-Kathrein-Str. 1–3 83022 Rosenheim, Germany Tax ID No.: 156/117/31083 VAT Reg. No.: DE311049363 Commercial Register: Traunstein, HRB 25841

Cascadable single-cable multi- switches for distribution of digital Sat-IF signals (four Sat polarities) and terrestrial signals via one cable to up to nine receivers

No limitation in the number of programmes - the complete programme range of one satellite is distributed

The selected transponder is trans- mitted by the multi-switch on a xed frequengy (userband), controlled by the receiver with a DiSEqC™ command set conforming to EN50494

The multi-switch supports the extended single-cable set of commands SCD2 conforming to EN50607

Terrestrial signals can be received even when the satellite receiver is switched off

Each receiver is assigned a xed subscriber frequency (userband); a twin receiver requires two subscriber frequencies

Kathrein Power Saving: LNB supply is switched off as soon as all receivers connected to the EXE159 or in the cascade are inactive. This function can be deactivated; e.g. if loop-through multi-switches without Kathrein Power Saving are used in the cascade

Loop-through multi-switch to extend a single-cable system for an additional nine receivers

Kathrein Power Saving: As soon as all receivers are inactive, a signal is sent to the end multi-switch via the vertical low trunk which then cuts off the LNB voltage supply.

Optional powering using the NCF18. Due to the energy-saving concept, the multi-switch consumes no energy from the NCF18 if no receivers are swit- ched on.

Integrated AGC (Automatic Gain Control) ensures a constant output level in the Sat-IF range

EXE259 single-cable multi-switches and additional loop-through multi-swit- ches such as EXR2541, EXR2554, EXR2558 and EXR2542 can be combined as desired.

Up to eight multi-switches can be cascaded

For indoor installation

Single-cable multi-switch for up to nine receivers, with an integrated power supply unit for LNB supply

Low power consumption due to highly efcient, short-circuit proof switched- mode power supply unit in compliance with ERP guideline and energy-saving concept (the single-cable multi- switch is switched off whenever the connected receiver is switched off)3 / 8 ● The equipment described is designed solely for the installation of satel- lite receiver systems. ● Any other use or failure to comply with these instructions will void the warranty or guarantee. ● The equipment may only be installed in dry areas i ndoors. Do not install on or against highly combustible materials. ● The equipment must be provided with an earthing wire (Cu, at least 4mm

● The safety regulations set out in the current EN60728-11 and EN60065 standar ds must be complied with. ● Fixings: Screws, max. Ø: 4mm ● Connectors: RF connector 75Ω (series F) acco rding to EN61169-24. ● Unused RF ports must be terminated with 75Ω resistors (e.g. EMK03). Current-carrying device ● Do not open the unit or tamper with it! ● When working on the system always unplug the power supply unit from the wall socket! ● The device is intended only for wall mounting! Do not install the device lying at or on its top, or operate it in th is position. ● Ensure adequate clearance! Clearance all round at lea st 5 cm! ● Free circulation of air must be possible to discharge the heat emitted by the u nit. Danger of overheating! ● Ambient temperature range -20 to +55°C Caution: ● No liquid-lled items may be placed on top of the power supply unit. ● The power supply unit must not be exposed to dripping or splashing

ater. ● The mains plug must be easily accessible and operable. ● The only reliabl e method of disconnecting the unit from the mains is to unplug it. ● An inner cable conductor diameter greater than 1.2mm, or the presence of burrs may damage the sockets on the unit. Max. 2mm excess length Tightening torque 3.4Nm (danger of over- winding) Diameter 0.6-1.2mm free of burrs Installation and safety4 / 8 If an EXE159 is operated alone or together with other multi-switches that bear the Kathrein Power Saving logo, Kathrein Power Saving can be activated by setting the stand-by switch to “ON”. If a receiver in the cascade is switched on, the LNB is powered through the end multi-switch. The multi-switch is protected by a PIN code in order to prevent the set userband from being used/disturbed by another subscriber. This should be specied in the receiver settings. A xed PIN has been assigned to each userband. UB 1 UB 2 UB 3 UB 4 UB 5 UB 6 UB 7 UB 8 UB 9 Frequency (MHz) 974 1,076 1,178 1,280 1,382 1,484 1,586 1,688 1,790 PIN 151 052 133 124 205 196 187 178 099 Kathrein power saving Multi-switches without Kathrein Power Saving do not give signalling to the end multi-switch. The stand-by switch must be set to “OFF” for permanent powering of the LNB. PIN code protection5 / 8 Only use splitters without diodes (EBC110 or EBC114). The required diode protection is provided by outlets from the ESU series. It is especially important to make sure that each userband is assigned only once, since otherwise the receivers will generate mutual interference. The frequencies are allocated on the receivers settings menu. Depending on the type, this may be performed manually or automatically. It is recommended that the wall sockets with the shorter length connec- tions are assigned to the higher frequencies. By denition the system is designed so that single-cable units are supplied with 14VDC. The power supply is briey switched to 18VDC if control signals similar to DiSEqC™ have to be transmitted. Continuous application of 18V would block the system. For this reason we recommend the use of ESU series outlets, which are equipped for switching off electronically. The receivers that are connected must be designed for single-cable opera- tion conforming to EN50494. In order to use userband 9, the receiver must also support the single-cable standard SCD2 as per EN50607. Notes6 / 8
