Frequently Asked Questions - KAZ 11 KATHREIN

What is the KAZ 11 used for?

The KAZ 11 is a voltage surge protection unit designed for antenna reception and distribution systems. It protects system components against transient voltage surges by reducing surges between the centre conductor and outer conductor to non-dangerous levels.

Can the KAZ 11 be installed outdoors?

No, the KAZ 11 is intended for indoor installation only. It should be mounted on a rail or wall inside a building.

What is the maximum remote feed current?

The maximum remote feed current is 2 A. Ensure this value is not exceeded during normal or disturbed operation to avoid damage.

Does the KAZ 11 support DiSEqC or 22 kHz signals?

Yes, the KAZ 11 allows 22 kHz and DiSEqC™ signals to pass through without interference.

What type of coaxial cable should be used with the KAZ 11?

Use 75 Ω coaxial cable with an inner conductor diameter smaller than 1.2 mm. The cable must be installed short-circuit-free.

How do I mount the KAZ 11?

The KAZ 11 can be mounted on a rail (standard DIN rail) or on a wall using the supplied wall mounting adapter. Refer to the installation instructions for torque specifications (max. 3.4 Nm).

Is equipotential bonding required?

Yes, the device must be equipped with an equipotential bonding conductor (copper, at least 4 mm²). Connect it to the grounding connector of the KAZ 11.

What is the transmission frequency range of the KAZ 11?

The transmission range is 5 – 3000 MHz, with typical through loss increasing from 1.2 dB at lower frequencies to 2.0 dB at higher frequencies.

Can I cascade multiple KAZ 11 units?

You can install up to two KAZ 11 units in cascade in the signal transport stream. Do not exceed this number.

How should I dispose of the KAZ 11 at the end of its life?

Electronic equipment must not be disposed of as household waste. Follow directive 2012/19/EC and take the unit to a designated public collection point for proper recycling.

Safety Instrucions

Tampering with the unit may jeopardise its electrical safety.

The connection and the installation of the unit may only be carried out by an electrician.
The national regulations and the safety specifications must be observed (also see EN 50083-1/A1).
▶ Before the installation, the exterior of the unit must be checked for damages.
▶ If the unit is damaged or a defect is determined, the unit may not be installed.
The use of the unit is only allowed in compliance with the mentioned and described terms in these installation instructions. Loads, which exceed the identified values, can damage the unit as well as the connected electrical parts.
▶ Tampering with internal components or making changes to the unit will result in loss of warranty.
▶ Make sure that the device is equipped with an equipotential bonding conductor (Cu, at least 4 mm ² )

Further measures

For remotely fed antenna amplifiers, no additional protective wiring is necessary. For mains fed units, a protection unit for the mains supply is additionally required (e.g. S-Protector, NSM-Protector or DEHNsafe). The PE connector of the mains supply is to be connected with the grounding connector of the voltage surge protection unit KAZ 11 with low-resistance. For rail mounting, this is possible for several mounted voltage surge protection units KAZ 11 via the mounting rail.
If the use of a gas tube surge arrestor on the house transfer point (HTP) is planned for cable systems, an isolation line of at least 1 m is required between the house transfer point and the KAZ 11, in order to guarantee a coordination of both protective measures. The transient current discharge capacity of the voltage surge protection unit KAZ 11 increases if a gas tube surge arrestor.

Connection Examples

▶ Do not install in cascade more than two KAZ 11 in the signal transport stream.

Installation Instructions

Risk of damage to property!
