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!

9
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.

11
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
Use of other screws:
If because of the installation location or fac-
tors associated with it, the screws supplied
cannot be used, refer to the diagram along-
side when selecting the screws to be used.
This shows you the cross-section area of
the screw sockets on the control unit and
shows which screws (diameter, screw head
profiles etc.) can be inserted into the con-
trol unit support.
To prevent inadvertent disconnection of
the power cables, secure them in accord-
ance with DIN EN 1648-1 and -2. Ensure
the cables are fitted with strain relief!
Cable
ties *)
*)When upgrading a CAP 100 system, the 8-pin cable adapter and
the power supply adapter should be used as shown. To prevent
inadvertent disconnection of the plug connectors, we recommend
they are secured with a cable tie or insulation tape, as shown
above!
Air circulation

12
The fuses in the cable and in the control unit must never be bridged – cable fire
hazard!
CONNECTING THE CONTROL UNIT
• Connect the coaxial cable (that comes from the turntable) to the “IF IN” port
• Now connect the other cables to the new control unit
If any cable connection cannot be made because the plug or socket does not match, there are two adap-
tor cables included in the upgrade kit!
Avoid laying the cables across sharp edges and secure the cables against possible chafing
points.
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
Marking out the screw / drill points at the installation location:
Accurately mark out the screw / drill points at the installation location.
The casing of the HDS 900 control unit is identical to the control unit for the CAP 200/300/301 turntables.
If necessary you can use the same securing holes.
Secure the control unit at the installation location previously selected and prepared.
Do not force it, and take care that not to damage either the screw sockets, the control
unit itself or any cables that are already attached to the control unit!

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
INSTALLATION OF THE UFS 940SW
The four screw sockets provided (see diagram on the next page) allow you to install the receiver not
only resting on a shelf but also to fix it there or in other positions.
Note: When choosing the installation location, bear in mind that the rear of the unit should always
be accessible. The UFS 940sw 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 fit the UFS 940sw 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 15 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 receiver is designed for installation in exclusively 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
Ventilation:
The heat generated within the receiver
can be dissipated from the following
sides of the casing: Bottom, left, right
and top. When selecting the installation
location, make sure that these sides are
not obstructed or covered. If the unit is
operated continuously with insufficient
ventilation, this can negatively affect the
length of its working life!
Maintain a clearance of at least 20 cm
above or below the unit, 2 cm to either
side and 5 cm behind it, to allow
unobstructed dissipation of the heat
generated.

SELECTION OF A SUITABLE INSTALLATION LOCATION
The unit monitors its temperature in operation. Premature failure of the unit
due to continuous operation at temperatures higher than the recommended
operating temperature as a result of insufficient ventilation does not constitute
grounds for a claim under warranty/guarantee.

16
Removing the blanking plugs:
When the unit is delivered, the screw
sockets are covered with blanking plugs.
These can be pushed out, using the
screws supplied (working upwards from
below, see diagram on the right).
PREPARATIONS
Attaching the infra-red sensor:
If the unit is installed in open view, you
can attach the infra-red sensor directly to
the unit; or if the receiver is installed in a
concealed location, you should position
the infra-red sensor where it can be clearly
seen by the remote control unit. There
are three places on the infra-red sensor
where the adhesive strips supplied can
be attached (see diagram on the right ,
and ). The attachment point is
provided for sticking the infra-red sensor
directly to the unit.

The attachment point on the receiver is
on the front panel (see diagram on the
right ).




Connections and fusing of the unit:
All connection cables for connection to the receiver (including the infra-red sensor) are connected at the
rear of the unit (see also the item “Connection example” in this section). When selecting the installation
location, allow sufficient clearance at the rear of the unit for these cables and their plugs.
On the left hand side of the receiver viewed from the front there is a fuse inserted from the outside.
This fuse (for the type, see the section “Important Information” in the receiver operating manual) should
be accessible even after the unit has been installed, so that it can easily be exchanged if required.
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

17
Using the adhesive strips supplied, now
install the infra-red sensor either on the
receiver or at the chosen location. If the
infra-red sensor is installed on the unit,
its cable can be threaded in at its base,
as for a phone, and routed to the rear of
the receiver (see diagram on the right).
When threading in the
cable, take care not to
damage its sheath.
Use of other screws:
If because of the installation location or
factors associated with it, the screws
supplied cannot be used, refer to the
diagram alongside when selecting the
screws to be used. This shows you the
cross-section area of the screw sockets
on the receiver and shows which screws
(diameter, screw head profiles etc.) can
be inserted into the receiver support.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
Under no circumstances use countersunk-head screws for
installation (see diagram on the right), since these can damage the
screw sockets on the receiver. Wherever possible, use the wood
screws supplied with the receiver.
Before installing the receiver so that it is attached to another piece
of equipment (such as a TV set), check with the manufacturer of that
equipment or by reference to the documentation supplied with it
whether this is permissible, and if so what fittings (screws etc.) you
need/can use for this. The temperature rise of each of the units in
operation (receiver/TV set) can in some circumstances affect the other unit.
The wood screws supplied with the receiver should not under any circumstances
be used to attach it to a TV set or other electrical equipment! This could damage
that equipment, possibly beyond repair.
Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock!
6.6
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

18
Useful information for installing the receiver on a TV set:
For installation by attachment to the rear of a TV set, securing with two screws is sufficient.
The equipment must have one of the following hole patterns (for wall mounting) on its rear panel:
100 x 100; 100 x 200; 200 x 200 or 200 x 400. If this is not the case, a VESA adaptor plate can be
obtained from a specialist dealer.
Before installing the receiver it is essential you read the section “Wall mounting” (or the equivalent)
in the user instructions for your TV set. This will tell you the screw diameters (M4, M6 or M8) and most
importantly the permissible screw penetration depth.
Before starting any installation work, it is essential you disconnect all the units
concerned from the mains. If the screws penetrate too deeply into the TV set
they may damage it beyond repair and create the risk of a fatal electric shock!
Under no circumstances install the receiver between the TV and a wall support!
Installation on the rear panel of a TV set is permissible only if the TV set is
resting on a stand that is attached in some other way.
Marking out the screw/drill points at the installation location:
This diagram is to assist you in marking out the exact screw/drill points at the installation location.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

20
Avoid laying the cables across sharp edges and secure the cables against possible chafing
points.
• Connect the coaxial cable (coming from the turntable) to the “IF IN” F socket on the rear of the
UFS 940sw.
• Place the infra-red sensor for the receiver close to or directly on top of the TV set and lay the
cable to the UFS 940sw. Connect the 6-pin Western connector at the rear to the socket marked
“IR REMOTE IN” (see also “Installation of the UFS 940sw receiver” in this section).
Isolate the on-board power supply (master switch “off” or disconnect the positive pole of the on-board
power supply battery) before commencing the following work:
• Connect the power cable supplied (depending on the power supply available in your motor home or
caravan, either a 12 V supply or a 230 V supply via a power supply unit) to the “ ” plug
connector on the receiver.
Make sure that the “inline” integrated fuse (5 A) of the cable is fully plugged in and is intact. If the
fuse blows, the source of the fault must first be eliminated. The fuse must only ever be replaced
by a fuse with the same rating (5 A).
CONNECTING TO THE UFS 940SW
LAYING CABLES AND CONNECTING THE TURNTABLE
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.
• At the connecting point for the power cable, the voltage must not fall below 10.9 V even with a load
of 12 A. Otherwise optimum functioning can no longer be guaranteed.
• Connect the power cable to the respective socket in your motor home or caravan (12 V or 230 V).
• Check the connections before you re-connect the on-board power supply.
• For commissioning and more detailed information on additional operator functions, please consult
the operation section of the separate operating manual for the receiver.
The fuses in the cable and in the receiver must never be by-passed – cable fire hazard!
