When any of the above CAP units is upgraded by means of the HDS 910 upgrade kit,
no changes to the turntable and/or the BAS 60 are necessary! The existing cabling can
also still be used!
A BAS 50 planar antenna in use hitherto must be replaced with a BAS 60 (BN 216195)
(this applies only in connection with the CAP 100)!
PROPER USE
The HDS 910 upgrade kit is intended for upgrading the following Kathrein products:

The CAP units listed in the table are used for reception from satellites of digital TV and radio channels (prior
to the upgrade the CAP 100 can receive only analogue). The automatic positioner acts as a turntable for the
Kathrein BAS 60 antenna.
The turntable can be used to receive digital TV and radio signals in the frequency range from 10.70 to
12.75 GHz; the antenna cannot receive terrestrial signals (e.g. DVB-T).
After the upgrade, the turntable can be used only in conjunction with the UFS 940sw DVB-S receiver.
In conjunction with this receiver, the turntable provides fully automatic alignment of the BAS 60 to receive
digital satellite signals. The turntable is designed for use on stationary caravans or motor homes.
Any use other than that specified above will invalidate the warranty or guarantee.
PROPER USE (USE FOR THE INTENDED PURPOSE)
*) This function can be used only when an external USB storage medium (such as an external hard disk with
a USB connection *)) is connected and is formatted in the “FAT32” or “EXT2” format. The USB storage
medium that is connected may not have more than three partitions, since the receiver cannot manage
and use more than three partitions. Tested only with hard disks from the Kathrein product range (see also:
www.kathrein.de →Service →FAQs)
**) BAS 50 must be replaced with a BAS 60 (BN 216195)

The system may only be installed by qualified pecialist per-
sonnel!
To prevent hazards during installation, operation or when driving on public highways, the in-
structions and information in this manual must be strictly adhered to. Proper performance of the
upgrade of the system is a pre-requisite for conformity with the corresponding standards.
This is documented in advance by the CE mark and the declaration of conformity in the appendix
of the respective CAP user manual.
The following circumstances result in the loss of all warranty and liability claims towards
the manufacturer:
• Improper installation
• Structural changes or interference with the components and mounting accessories in the set, which
could endanger both the mechanical and functional reliability
• Improper or forcible opening of the components
• Disregard of the further installation and safety instructions in these user instructions and inn the original
manual for the respective CAP product
Note: The maximum permissible speed for vehicles with a receiver unit mounted on the roof is
130 km/h. Before commencing a journey, the satellite dish must always be lowered into hori-
zontal position (park position).
The turntable may be operated in an ambient temperature range of -10 °C to +40 °C. Operating the
system outside this range may result in malfunctions or damage to the system. When choosing the
location for installation of the UFS 940sw, ensure there is adequate ventilation.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - IMPORTANT NOTES
Proper installation and safety
Essential information
The correct execution of the upgrade (for instance the electrical connection work) is important for safety.
Modifications to the electrical installations in the vehicle should only be carried out by a specialist in vehicle
electrics. Do not make any unauthorised changes to the turntable.
Cables
Lay all cables such that nobody can tread on them or trip over them.
To prevent parasitic induction or interference emissions, when extending the antenna cable use 75 Ωcoaxial
cable with a screening factor of at least 75 dB.
If you tied the cables together with wire or similar materials, remove this to prevent the
risk of fire!
When connecting the power cables (receiver and turntable) to the vehicle electrical supply, make sure that
the cable polarity is not reversed.
If the cable polarity is reversed there is a risk of thermal overload and damage to components when
the equipment is powered up!
Never remove or bypass the fuse in the cable – cable fire hazard!

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
Before starting any installation work, it is essential you disconnect all the units con-
cerned from the mains. Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock!
• Flat-bladed screwdriver for M5 screws
• Cross-head screwdrivers for M3 and M5 screws

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
INSTALLING THE NEW CONTROL UNIT
DISCONNECTING THE CONNECTIONS TO THE OLD CONTROL UNIT
• Mark the coaxial cable that comes from the turntable to the control unit (port: “IF IN”), so that it will not
later be confused with the coaxial cable that runs to the receiver.
• Now disconnect all connections to the control unit
• Remove the old control unit
The four existing screw sockets (see diagram on the next page) allow you to attach the control unit to a solid
flat surface.
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
• Ensure that the cupboard or storage compartment in which the unit is housed is adequately ventilated,
to prevent a build up of heat. Carpet-covered walls are unsuitable for installation
• Take care when tightening the screws not to damage any cables etc. behind or in the wall
• The control unit is designed exclusively for installation in dry, interior locations. The installation location
must be protected against moisture.
• The cable lengths must be taken into account when choosing the installation location
• The connecting cables must be provided with strain reliefs
Connections and fusing of the unit:
All cables for connection to the control unit are connected at the rear of the unit (see also “Views of the HDS
900 control unit” in this section). When selecting the installation location, allow sufficient clearance at the
rear of the unit for these cables and their plugs.
The plug-in fuse is also located at the rear. This fuse (for the type see “Views of the HDS 900 control unit”
in this section) should be accessible even after installation, so that it can easily be exchanged if required.
Under no circumstances use countersunk-head screws for installation
(see diagram on the right), since these can damage the screw sockets
on the control unit. Wherever possible, use the wood screws supplied
with the upgrade kit.
