3 Intended Use

The CAP 650 GPS and HDP 650 GPS are designed to receive digital TV and radio channels via satellite. The automatic positioner is intended to be used as a turntable for the Kathrein flat antenna.

The turntable can be used to receive digital TV and radio signals in the frequency range from from 10.70 to 12.75 GHz; the antenna cannot receive terrestrial signals such as DVB-T/DVB-T2.

The CAP 650 GPS is a receiver-independent solution and can be used in conjunction with any satellite-enabled end device. The CAP converter manages the communication and control of the system and converts the signals received from the end device into CAP-compliant signals. This enables the fully automatic alignment of the flat antenna for the reception of digital satellite signals.

The turntable is designed for use on stationary caravans or motor homes.

Any other use than that specified above will invalidate the warranty or guarantee.

The following circumstances result in the loss of all warranty and liability claims towards the manufacturer:

• improper installation
• use of non-specified mounting materials, which cannot guarantee the mechanical reliability of the antenna system
• impermissible use, e.g. use of the flat antenna for storage
• 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,
• use of cleaners containing solvents, such as acetone, nitro-cellulose thinners, petrol, etc.
• failure to observe installation and safety instructions in this manual

An increase in the normal vehicle height due to the antenna not being lowered can lead to an increased risk of accidents. The driver bears sole responsibility for the condition of the superstructure and external fittings! In stormy weather, the turntable and the vehicle could be damaged.

▶ Follow the instructions in the installation and operating manuals for the units used and for the external fittings and superstructures.
▶ Before commencing a journey or if there is a storm warning (with wind speeds exceeding 90 km/h), lower the antenna into the horizontal position (park position).
▶ Do not exceed the maximum permissible speed for vehicles of 130 km/h.

Risk of malfunction or material damage due to operation outside the permissible temperature range!

▶ Operate the turntable in an ambient temperature range from -20^irc C to +45^irc C.
▶ When selecting the installation and setup location, ensure that the receiver is sufficiently ventilated.

Proper installation and safety

The system may be installed only by qualified specialist personnel!

To prevent hazards during installation, operation or when driving on public highways, the instructions and information in this manual must be strictly adhered to. Proper installation and connection of the system are prerequisites for conformity with the corresponding standards.

Essential information

A crucial safety factor is proper performance of installation and electrical connection work, and the specified alignment of the turntable in the direction of travel (park position), see Chapter 5, p. 12.

▶ Comply as precisely as possible with the installation conditions and steps described.

Adhesive sealant

The turntable is attached to the roof of the vehicle by adhesive and is secured by additional screws. The glue is not part of the delivery. Use a sealant for vehicle construction with a tensile strength (DIN 53505) ≥ 1,8 MPa and a shear stress (DIN 53283) ≥ 2,5MPA. We recommend Dekasyl MS-5 Kraftkleber (Manufacturer Deka Kleben & Dichten GmbH, D-63691 Ranstadt) or Sikaflex-291i (Manufacturer Sika AG, CH-6341 Baar).

Please refer to the processing of the adhesive on the safety instructions and technical data sheet of the manufacturer.

Risk of material damage due to improper use of the adhesive sealant!

▶ During installation work, comply strictly with the processing and safety instructions for the adhesive sealant of the manufacturer.

Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO)

The applicable regulations of the German StVZO must be observed in respect of fixed installation of the turntable on a vehicle which is driven on public highways. In particular, Articles 19/2; 30 C; 32 (2) and EC directive 74/483 EEC are applicable.

Briefly, they state that no endorsement of the vehicle documentation is required unless the antenna unit causes the height of the laden vehicle to exceed 2 m, or the antenna unit projects beyond the outer lateral outline of the vehicle. The maximum permissible height of 4 m (vehicle and antenna unit) must not be exceeded.

Cables

Risk of smouldering fire!

Tying the cables up with a wire or the like could cause a smouldering fire.

▶ Disentangle and remove the wire or the like.

Trip hazard due to cables!

Crushing or excessively stretching cables can cause a smouldering fire.

▶ Lay cables in such a way that no one can tread on them or trip over them.

Risk of parasitic induction or interference emissions!

An inappropriate cable or extension cable can cause parasitic induction or interference emissions, thus reducing the picture quality.

▶ When extending the antenna cable, use a 75 Ω coaxial cable with a screening factor of at least 75 dB.

Risk of material damage due to reversed polarity!

When connecting the power cables, reversed polarity can lead to thermal overload and damage to components when the equipment is powered up.

▶ When connecting the power cables (CAP converter and turntable) to the vehicle electrical system, make sure that the poles are not reversed.

Supply voltage, fusing

Risk of severe injuries due to cable fire!

Removing or bypassing the fuse in the cable can cause cable fire.

▶ Do not remove or bypass the fuse in the cable.

Risk of material damage due to the absence of a blade fuse in the cable!

▶ Protect the positive wire (red) of the power supply cable by using a 15 A blade fuse.

▶ The fuse must be installed by a specialist.

▶ If the fuse is blown, replace it by a fuse of the same rating (15 A).

▶ Eliminate the cause of the fault.

To ensure a reliable function of the connection/control unit:

▶ Operate the system from your vehicle's battery (12 V) or a suitable power supply unit. The power supply unit must ensure a stable output voltage of 12 V, a continuous current of 11 A and 8 A (20 ms) surge current. The short-time power consumption is up to a maximum of 7 A (for < 10 ms).

▶ Connect the power cable directly to the battery.

Using the cable core marked Ignition, the power supply cable is connected to the ignition current circuit. This way, the turntable has a function for automatic lowering of the antenna. The lowering takes place as soon as the vehicle ignition circuit is turned on.

▶ When connecting the control unit to the on-board power supply, make sure that the 12 V, Earth and Ignition wires cannot be disconnected by intermediate switches, as this could deactivate the automatic lowering function.

The antenna is lowered within 5 seconds of the ignition being switched on, even if the CAP converter is switched off.

Checks before commencing a journey

To ensure a safe journey:

▶ Before commencing a journey, always lower the antenna into the horizontal position (park position).
▶ If the antenna has collided with a fixed or movable object, check if the system is still securely attached.
As the antenna is subjected to vibration loads during driving, check at regular intervals, depending on the frequency of driving, whether the system is still securely attached and tighten any parts that have worked loose.
▶ Do not exceed the maximum permissible speed of 130 km/h for vehicles with a receiver unit mounted on the roof.
▶ Lower the antenna if it will not be used for a long period. This makes the securing bolts more difficult to access (protection against theft).

Antenna in the park position whilst driving

Always lower the antenna into the horizontal position (park position) whilst driving. To remind yourself of this, place the sticker from the supplementary sheet in the visual range of your vehicle ignition switch.

Important note!

By means of the CAP converter, you can directly control 4 satellite positions with the help of a connected satellite receiver or a TV set ³⁾ . In order to do so, the sequence of the satellite positions in the TV/ receiver must correspond to the sequence of the satellite positions in the CAP converter.

The CAP converter has the following default standard settings for satellite positions:

• Satellite 1: Astra 19.2°E
  • Satellite 2: Hotbird 13°E
• Satellite 3: Astra 23.5°E
• Satellite 4: Astra 28.2^ircE

Setting the satellite position in the CAP converter

The satellite positions in the CAP converter can be changed as follows:

- Using the free smartphone/tablet CAPcontrol app (available for Android and iOS)

▶ To change the satellite position, go to Settings▶ Satellite selection.

To use the app, you will either need a LAN connection to the router or the wireless USB adapter UFZ 1311 ¹⁾ with a wireless hotspot function.

• Using the external operating unit

▶ To change the satellite position, press the buttons to set the values.

- Using a software update of the satellite xml file created on the computer by means of a USB flash drive. Ready-made config.xml files are available free of charge at www.kathrein.de/service/downloads/cap/ or from our service centre in Ulm, Germany.

1. On a USB flash drive create a kathrein folder with a capconverter subfolder. (Use lower case letters for folder names!)
2. Copy the config.xml file to the capconverter subfolder.
3. Connect the USB flash drive to the active CAP converter.

Preparing the turntable

1. Loosen the six fastening screws (width across flats: 10 mm).
2. Carefully lift the turntable off the mounting plate and place it on the two prepared wooden supports. Make sure that the cables are not crushed where they emerge from the underside of the turntable.

5.1.3 Selecting the Installation Location

Essentially, the cable lengths of the components that are supplied allow you a free choice of installation location on your caravan or motor home.

When selecting the installation site, take note of the following points:

Before installation, find out whether the operating manual for your vehicle permits the fitting of non-vehicle-specific parts or what requirements need to be met in order to do so.
For direct satellite reception, there should be no obstructions between the antenna and the satellite. Make sure that the antenna is not shadowed by roof extensions such as luggage racks, air conditioning units, solar panels, etc.
The problem of shadowing applies also when selecting a parking place for your vehicle. For interference-free satellite reception, the antenna needs a free view to the south at an angle of between 0^irc and 75^irc (depending on location) to the horizontal.
When selecting the installation position, take into account the range of movement of the turntable, 10.2 Dimensions (in mm), p.37. There must not be any attachments on the roof that would obstruct this range of movement (risk of collision). To be on the safe side, keep slightly more than the required area free. This allows for an easier installation and any subsequent dismantling.
▶ Choose an installation position on the roof that is as horizontal as possible or only slightly sloping, depending on the location of the vehicle, since roof inclinations greater than 5^irc may lead to problems when searching for the satellite.
▶ To ensure secure adhesion, the height difference of the roof curve must not be more than 1 cm over a length of 2 m, as otherwise the gap between the roof and the mounting plate would be too great to be filled by the adhesive sealant.
As the vehicle is constantly subjected to vibration loads during travel, the roof below the antenna unit is also subject to significant loads. Please note, given the nature and capacity of your vehicle roof, that the weight of the antenna unit is approx. 14.5 kg, see the operating manual for the vehicle. If in doubt, consult a qualified specialist dealer or your vehicle's manufacturer.
The roof gland provides a watertight seal through which the three cables (2 x coaxial cable and power supply cable) are fed into the interior of the vehicle directly underneath the turntable. If you prefer a different method of laying the cables, you can run them out from the rear of the turntable via the channel provided in the mounting plate. The cables must then be run along the roof of the vehicle in a protective cable duct and through a separate roof gland HDZ 100 (neither of them are included in the scope of delivery).
The HDZ 100 roof gland is available as an accessory under part number 20410032 from specialist dealers.

Risk of material damage during transportation!

▶ Protect the positive wire (red) of the power supply cable by using a 15 A blade fuse.

▶ The fuse must be installed by a specialist.

▶ If the fuse is blown, replace it by a fuse of the same rating (15 A).

▶ Eliminate the cause of the fault.

5.1.4 Installing the Cable Gland and Mounting Plate

If you have previously used a Kathrein HDM 140/141 jointed tripod mast or another mast with a diameter of 34 mm, you can continue using the existing through hole in the roof.

Fig. A Fig. B

① O-ring
② Adhesive

Technical diagram of a circular mechanical component with mounting holes and a central shaft (no text or symbols)

③ Arrow in the direction of travel

1. In the centre of the intended position of the turntable, drill the opening for the cable gland with a circular cutter of ∅ 38 mm.
2. Deburr the hole with a round file or emery paper.
3. Provisionally insert the roof duct into the drilled hole (Fig. A).
4. Place the mounting plate on the roof of the vehicle, such that the centre hole is positioned centrally to the cable gland. The arrow symbol ③ must be visible from above and point forwards in the direction of travel of the vehicle (Fig. B).
5. Mark the positions of the six fastening holes on the roof of the vehicle in a pitch circle.

The size of the holes and the choice of fastening screws to be used (not included) depend on the type and thickness of the materials used in the roof structure. If the roof panelling (plastic roofs) is sufficiently strong, it is recommended to always use round head screws, plain washers and self-locking nuts to secure the glued mounting plate.

1. If the roof panel material is very thin and does not provide adequate holding power within the insulation material, through holes ( 5.5 mm) into the interior of the vehicle are required and galvanised M5 round head screws of sufficient length must be used.

Make sure that you use a sufficiently strong support that can withstand the bolt tensile forces (large plain washer or a complete reinforcing plate).

1. Create the holes necessary to secure the mounting plate (Fig. C).

2. In addition to the screwed connection, the mounting plate and roof duct must be bonded to the roof with adhesive and sealed. This is done using an adhesive sealant (e.g. DEKAsyl MS adhesive sealant), which is ideally suited for this purpose due to its broad range of adhesion. Please note the following points:

3. It is essential that you have carefully read through the safety data sheet for the adhesive sealant and the technical data sheet before you start working with the adhesive sealant!

4. The prerequisite for good adhesive properties is a clean, dry and grease-free substrate. You should therefore clean the roof surface with a suitable cleaning agent within a circumference of 35cm around the drilled hole and allow the surface to dry thoroughly.
5. If the surface is painted, ensure that the paint finish is sufficiently well bonded to the substrate.

6. If the coat of paint is already loose or peeling, it must be removed down to a stable layer in the area to which the adhesive will bond. If you have any doubts concerning the adhesive properties, consult a paint and lacquer specialist, or the manufacturer of your vehicle.

7. The procedure for gluing the mounting plate is as follows:

Fig. D

① Recess for cable
② Adhesive area between the two grooves

- Ensure before starting adhesive work that the processing temperature of materials to be glued and the adhesive sealant is between +5^ircC and +35^ircC . Prepare all necessary fastening elements and tools.

- Prepare the adhesive sealant in accordance with the instruction.

• Remove the roof duct (Fig. A) again and apply the adhesive sealant evenly to the underside of the roof duct flange.
• Insert the roof duct into the drilled hole and press it against the vehicle roof.
• Apply the adhesive sealant evenly to the underside of the mounting plate, completely covering the area within the circular groove (Fig. D). This area of the vehicle roof must be completely coated with adhesive in order to achieve the necessary bonding force.
• Place the mounting plate onto the roof of the vehicle, as you did previously when marking out the drilled holes. Make sure that the arrow on the mounting plate points forwards in the direction of travel of the vehicle. The fastening holes must be perfectly aligned with the prepared holes in the roof.
• Fasten the mounting plate in place with the prepared screws, evenly tightening six screws across the diagonals.

Risk of material damage due to applying too much force when tightening the screws!

The adhesive sealant used is capable of filling small gaps caused by the curvature of the vehicle roof. If you apply too much force when tightening the screws, the mounting plate could be bent.

▶ Tighten the screws carefully.

• Use a clean colourless cloth to remove any adhesive sealant that leaks out at the sides. Pay attention to the following:
  \~ Do not use any cleaning agents or thinners containing solvents, as this could damage the adhesive sealant applied under the mounting plate.
  \~ It is recommended to soak the cloth in acetone or MEK. Apply the cloth soaked in acetone or MEK to an inconspicuous area to make sure that it does not adversely affect or damage the surface.
  \~ Use only cleansing paste and water to clean your hands.
• Secure the cable gland from inside the vehicle by tightening the ribbed nut supplied (Fig. A).
• Note that the curing of the adhesive sealant depends on the ambient temperature and the humidity. Please refer the final strength the data sheet of your sealing adhesive. However, this need not restrict further installation work, since the mounting plate is held in place by the tightened screws.

5.1.5 Installation of the Turntable

Variant with cable gland underneath the turntable

1. Feed the ends of the cables with the connectors as far as possible through the cable duct into the interior of the vehicle.
2. Lift the turntable and place it carefully on the mounting plate in the direction of travel (see Fig. E). Do not step on the connectors or kink or crush the cables!
3. The through holes on the turntable must be perfectly aligned with the threaded holes on the mounting plate. When lowering, make sure that the cables are fed through the cable gland and are not crushed.
4. 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.
5. To prevent water vapour from inside the vehicle reaching the turntable through the roof duct, thread the three cables through the sealing gasket supplied, fold it and insert it into the roof duct until it reaches the stop (see Fig. E). Make sure that no tensile load is acting downwards on the sealing gasket as this can cause it to fall out in the course of time.

Fig. E

Version with external cable gland

The external roof duct is arranged such that it forms a watertight enclosure on the vehicle roof around the point where the three cables projecting from the turntable are connected to the two extension cables within the interior of the vehicle, and where if necessary they can be disconnected (see Fig. F).

1. Arrange the cables in the cable duct when placing the turntable on to the mounting plate. Make sure that the cables are not crossed over and that they are taut so that they cannot be crushed.

Risk of material damage due to pulling the cables from the turntable!

▶ Do not try to pull the cables from the unit.

1. Place the turntable carefully on the mounting plate. Make sure that the through holes on the turntable are perfectly aligned with the threaded holes on the mounting plate.
2. 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.
3. When feeding the connecting cables through the HDZ 100 roof gland, make sure they are not crushed, kinked or damaged.

1. Make the electrical connections.
2. Connect the CAP converter or alphatronics TV.
3. Connect the turntable to the battery.

5.1.7 Laying the Cables and Connecting the Turntable

Risk of damage to cables from sharp edges and chafing points!

▶ Do not lay cables across sharp edges.
▶ Protect cables against possible chafing points.

- Connect the master coaxial cable (marked red) to the master control unit (suitable alphatronics SL TV set or CAP converter) and the slave coaxial cable to a second TV with a built-in satellite tuner or receiver (if available).

If you do not use a receiver, we recommend attaching the second slave coaxial cable nonetheless, in case you might need it at a later time.

• Lay the turntable power supply cable (3-pin plug) to the battery. If necessary, use the power supply extension cable.
• Connect the master coaxial cable to the IF INPUT socket at the rear of the master control unit (alphatronics SL TV set (with Kathrein control) or CAP converter). If necessary, use the coaxial extension cable.
• Make sure that each live cable leading to the individual units is sufficiently fuse-protected and was installed by an expert. Make sure that all fuses are intact. If the fuse blows, the source of the fault must first be eliminated. The fuse may only be replaced by a fuse with the same rating.

Risk of severe injuries due to cable fire!

▶ Do not remove or bypass the fuse in the cable.

• At the connecting point for the power cable, the voltage must not fall below 11.5 V even with a higher load. Otherwise optimum functioning can no longer be guaranteed.
• Only for motor homes: The third, green core of the connecting cable, marked "IGNITION", allows the connection to a circuit in the vehicle that is activated when the ignition key is turned and then carries a continuous 12 V supply voltage. This type of connection ensures that when the engine is started the antenna is automatically lowered into the park position (the receiver does not need to be turned on).

Note that the antenna can be lowered only when the supply voltage is present in addition to the ignition signal!

- Make sure that the 15 A blade fuse was expertly installed to the positive conductor (red) of the power supply cable.

Risk of malfunction and material damage due to reversed polarity!

When connecting the power cables, reversed polarity can lead to thermal overload and damage to components when the equipment is powered up. If the earth (-) of the ignition signal and the earth (-) of the vehicle battery for the turntable do not have the same potential, the automatic antenna lowering does not function!

▶ To ensure a sufficient power supply to the automatic turntable, connect the current-carrying wires (red, black) directly to the vehicle battery.
In order that the antenna is automatically lowered to the park position, connect the green wire to the ignition and the red and the black wire to the vehicle battery.
The blade fuse supplied must be connected between the positive pole of the battery and the red wire of the turntable.
For operation with two batteries, it is necessary to ensure that the ignition signal earth has the same potential as the vehicle battery earth for the turntable.
▶ When connecting the power cables (CAP converter, alphatronics TV set or turntable) to the vehicle electrical system, make sure that the poles (+ and -) are not reversed.

5.1.8 Functional Instructions for Connection to the On-board Power Supply

Under certain circumstances, problems can arise when the units are connected to different connecting sockets or circuits/earth potentials. If no others are available, it is recommended that you connect the connecting sockets for the alphatronics TV set, the receiver or the CAP converter to the same cable, see Fig. G. Check the power rating of the circuit used with respect to the intended application.

When operating with two batteries, ensure that the ground of the ignition signal is at the same potential as the ground of the supply battery for the turntable. potential as the earth of the supply battery for the turntable. Otherwise the automatic automatic lowering will not work! Do not reverse the polarity of the cables!

In order for the GPS data to be read and the antenna to automatically lower itself into the parking position, the green wire must be connected to the ignition and the red and black wires to the power supply.

5.2 Installation and Connection of the CAP Converter

5.2.1 Selection of a Suitable Installation Location

When choosing the installation location, bear in mind that the rear of the CAP converter should always be accessible. The CAP converter is equipped with a power saving circuit, which means that the unit does not need to be placed where it is visible. You can therefore fit the CAP converter out of sight in any location, e.g. on cupboard walls, side walls or the base of storage compartments.

The four screw sockets provided (see Preparing the CAP Converter for Installation, p. 24) allow you to place the CAP converter not only on a firm even surface but also to fix it there or mount it in other positions.

When choosing the installation location, take account of the following:

• The wall thickness of the installation surface 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 or similar behind or in the wall
• The CAP converter is designed exclusively for installation in dry, interior locations.
• 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 CAP converter can be dissipated from all sides of the casing. 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 and below the unit, 2 cm to either side and 5 cm behind and in front of it, to allow unobstructed dissipation of the heat generated.

Risk of material damage due to insufficient ventilation!

The unit monitors its own temperature in operation. Continuous operation at temperatures higher than the recommended operating temperature can cause premature failure of the unit as a result of insufficient ventilation. This does not constitute grounds for a claim under warranty/guarantee!

▶ Operate the CAP converter only at the recommended operating temperature.

Connections and fusing of the unit

All the connecting cables are connected at the rear of the CAP converter, see also 5.2.6, p. 27.

On the left-hand side of the CAP converter viewed from the front there is a fuse inserted from the outside. This fuse must be accessible even after the unit has been installed, so that it can easily be exchanged if required. For more information about the type of fuse, see the sticker on the CAP converter and the fuse itself.

5.2.2 Preparing the CAP Converter for Installation

Removing the blanking caps

When the unit is delivered, the screw sockets are covered with blanking plugs. Push these out, using the screws supplied working upwards from below in the direction of arrow.

5.2.3 Important Instructions for Installation

Danger to life due to high voltage!

The wood screws could make contact with electrically live parts and cause danger to life from electric shock.

▶ Do not use the wood screws included with the CAP converter to mount the CAP converter onto another electrical device (e.g. TV set).

Risk of material damage due to countersunk head screws!

▶ Under no circumstances use countersunk head screws for installation (see figure on the right).

Risk of malfunction and material damage due to overheating!

If the CAP converter is attached to another electrical device, e.g. a TV set, the temperature rise of each unit in operation can affect the other, thus causing overheating.

Before installing the CAP converter on another electrical device, check with the manufacturer of the device or in the documentation supplied with it whether this is permissible, and if so, what fittings (screws, etc.) are necessary or can be used.

Using other screws

If because of the installation location or factors associated with it, the screws supplied cannot be used, refer to the figure on the right when

selecting the screws to be used. The figure shows you the cross-section area of the screw sockets on the CAP converter. From this, it is possible to see the characteristics of the screws which can be inserted into the CAP converter support, e.g. diameter, screw head profiles etc.

5.2.4 Installing the CAP Converter on the Rear Panel of a TV Set

Danger to life due to high voltage!

If the screws penetrate too deeply into the TV set, they may damage it beyond repair and cause the risk of a fatal electric shock.

▶ Before starting any installation work, disconnect all the units concerned from the mains.
Before installing the CAP converter, check with the manufacturer of the device or in the documentation supplied with it whether this is permissible, and if so, what fittings (screws, etc.) are necessary or can be used.

Material damage and risk of injuries from overheating of the devices and fire!

▶ Under no circumstances install the CAP converter between a TV set and a wall support.
▶ Installation of the CAP converter 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.

For installation on the rear panel of a TV set, securing with two screws is sufficient. Before installing the CAP converter, pay attention to the following:

• The TV set 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 CAP converter 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 the permissible screw penetration depth.

5.2.5 Installing the CAP Converter

Risk of material damage from applying too much force when tightening the screws!

If you apply too much force when tightening the screws, you can damage the screw sockets and the CAP converter casing or any cables already attached to it.

▶ Tighten the screws carefully.

Example for mounting on wood:

Technical line drawing of a device casing with screw holes and mounting points (no text or symbols)

5.2.6 Connecting the CAP converter

The CAP converter must not be connected to any supply voltage other than 10.5 to 15.5 V. The CAP converter's earth connection must be connected to the negative pole of the motor home or caravan battery. 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 master coaxial cable (coming from the turntable) to the "IF IN" F-socket on the rear of the CAP converter.
• Connect the "IF OUT" connection of the CAP converter and a receiver or TV set with integrated tuner with a coaxial cable.
• 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 "12V---2,0A" socket on the CAP converter.
• Check the connections before you reconnect the on-board power supply.
• For commissioning and more detailed information on additional operating functions, please consult the operating instructions part of this operating manual.

8 Polarisation Setting

8.1 About Polarisation Setting

As supplied, the BAS 66 satellite antenna is mounted centrally on the turntable. In this position, the receiver still receives signals from satellites whose orbit position deviates by 15^irc to 20^irc longitude from the satellite antenna alignment (typical reception range).

If the orbit position of the satellites deviates by more than 15^irc to 20^irc longitude, the polarisation setting of the satellite antenna can be changed to improve reception. This is done by altering the mounting position of the satellite antenna.

We expressly draw attention to the fact that positioning the satellite antenna at a deviation of up to +15° or up to -15° from the centre position makes sense only if a satellite to the far west or the far east is actually preferred for reception. The same applies if you want to receive ASTRA 19.2°, for example, from a far west or far east position.

Two identical mechanical components mounted on a base, no visible text or symbols

If required, change the polarisation setting of the satellite antenna as follows:

• +15° if the satellite is more than between 15° and 20° west of the preferred reception range
• -15° if the satellite is more than between 15° and 20° east of the preferred reception range

The overview below shows the recommended mounting position for selected locations and typical satellites. This overview does not constitute a guarantee of reception of all channels from the satellites listed here.

17 Connection of the current-carrying cables

Important notice!

Valid for all available CAP/HDP turntables

ATTENTION

Material damage and malfunction due to reversed polarity!

When connecting the power cables, reversed polarity can lead to thermal overload and damage to components when the equipment is powered up. If the earth (-) of the ignition signal and the earth (-) of the vehicle battery for the turntable do not have the same potential, the automatic antenna lowering does not function!

▶ To provide sufficient power supply for the automatic turntable, make sure to connect the current-carrying cables (red, black) directly to the vehicle battery.
For the automatic antenna lowering, connect the green cable to the ignition and the red and the black cable to the vehicle battery.
▶ Connect the fuse (included in the scope of delivery) between the positive pole of the battery and the red cable of the turntable.
For operation with two batteries, make sure that the earth of the ignition signal has the same potential as the earth of the vehicle battery for the turntable.
When connecting the power cables (CAP converter and turntable) to the vehicle electrical system, make sure that the poles (+ and -) are not reversed.

To be able to read the GPS data from the CAP turntable, you have to connect the green cable to the ignition and the red and black cable to the vehicle battery.
