INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
The turntable is controlled by the UFS 740sw DVB-S receiver.
The cable lengths must be taken into account when choosing the installation location. For suspended
installation use the mounting kit supplied with the receiver.
Note:
When choosing the installation location, bear in mind that the on/off switch and the slots for
inserting common interface modules should always be accessible. The UFS 740sw is equipped
with a power saving circuit and a separate infrared transmitter, which means that the unit does
not need to be placed where it is visible. You can therefore fi t the UFS 740sw out of sight in
any location, e.g. on cupboard walls, side walls or the base of storage compartments.
In addition, the following points should be taken into account:
•
The wall thickness at the installation location must be at least 12 mm, as otherwise the screws will break
through on the other side or damage the surface
•
The receiver must be placed in such a way as to allow suffi cient air circulation behind, above and next
to the unit (installation using the mounting kit ensures this). Installation on carpeted walls is therefore
unsuitable
•
Ensure that the cupboard or storage compartment in which the unit is housed is adequately ventilated,
to prevent a build up of heat
•
Take care when tightening the screws not to damage any cables etc. behind or in the wall
•
The receiver is designed for installation in exclusively dry, interior locations. The installation location
must be protected against moisture
•
The connecting cables must be strain relieved
INSTALLATION OF THE UFS 740SW RECEIVER
The receiver must be connected to no other power supply than 12 V DC. The receiver’s
earth connection must be connected to the negative pole of the motor home or caravan
battery.
11 AF spanner. Do not try to pull the cables from the unit. This could damage the cables or loosen the
cable connections.
•
Apply a little adhesive sealant to the six threaded holes in the mounting plate and screw the fastening
screws into the thread.
Tighten the screws to a torque of 6 Nm.
•
The connecting cables should be fed into the interior of the vehicle through a waterproof cable duct¹

.
The cables may not be crushed, kinked or damaged.
The connecting cables between the turntable and the connecting/control unit may not
be extended!

These watertight cable glands are used in boating and yachting applications under the name “cable
ports”; they can be purchased from boating and yachting chandlers.
