Product Information

Full details

The MODE CMA170 is a non-isolated satellite and coaxial outlet designed for seamless integration into both modern and traditional interior designs. Its primary benefit is the antimicrobial-certified urea formaldehyde construction, offering enhanced hygiene. A minor consideration is its specific function as a non-isolated outlet, meaning it's suitable for direct signal routing without signal isolation.

FAQs

What does 'non-isolated' mean for this socket?

A non-isolated socket means the satellite and coaxial signal passes through directly without any electronic isolation components. This is suitable for systems where direct signal routing is intended, such as a simple TV connection.

Is this socket suitable for all satellite systems?

It is suitable for systems requiring a non-isolated coaxial connection. Always consult your system's installation manual to confirm compatibility.

How do I clean the antimicrobial surface?

Clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the surface. The antimicrobial properties are inherent to the material.

What is the required depth for the back box?

The CMA170 requires a back box with a depth between 16mm and 47mm.

Can I replace the switch or socket module on this unit?

The MODE range is modular. While this specific unit is a fixed satellite/coaxial outlet, other items in the MODE range allow for module swapping for different switch types.

What is the IP rating?

The CMA170 has an IP20 rating, indicating protection against solid objects larger than 12.5mm but offering no protection against water.

What materials is the socket made from?

It is manufactured from urea formaldehyde and nylon, contributing to its durability and antimicrobial properties.

Troubleshooting

No signal detected on TV/receiver.

Verify that the coaxial cable is securely connected to both the CMA170 and the device. Ensure the socket is correctly wired for non-isolated signal transmission. Check that the main satellite dish or antenna connection is active and functioning.

Loose connection at the socket.

Gently tighten the cable connections to the terminals. If the terminals themselves are loose, ensure the socket is properly mounted in the back box.

Socket appears damaged.

Cease use immediately and replace the unit. Ensure power is disconnected before attempting any replacement.
