Caution - Improper handling by unqualified personnel can cause serious damage to this equipment. Unqualified personnel who tamper with this equipment may be held liable for any resultant damage to the equipment. Note – Before you begin, carefully read each of the procedures in this ma- nual. If you have not performed similar operations on comparable equip- ment, do not attempt to perform these procedures. The satellite antenna system is the innovative and a technologically advanced satellite Positioner system. The antenna has a unique combination of cutting-edge components. Fast satellite search and compatibility with all digital, HD-ready set-top boxes and TV sets are guaranteed.

Antenna unit The elegant plastic housing will protecting the antenna against out- side weather conditions. Under the housing there is a 460 x 260 mm high-performance antenna. The new technology of 15-62° elevation enables optimal reception across Europe. Control unit The control unit is used for satellite selection and control. It is connec- ted between the antenna and the set-top box and supplied the anten- na with electricity. After successful alignment, the device can be turned off. Information: The Campingman Kompakt 2 Twin has an additional Auto Skew func- tion that adjust the polarization angle of the LNB automatically, and a additional connection for a second set-top box. The control unit must be operated only on the selected antenna port. Only this is provided for controlling. Open box and remove the control unit, cables and packing material. Lift the antenna straight up out of the box. Never place the system upside down!

1.4 System components 2.1 Connection of the Components

Install the control unit and the set-top box is not inside the vehicle in the region of an airbag. Maintain a careful installation of the cable in order to avoid short circuits. Pay attention also to existing cables. Connect the antenna as shown in the illustration below: Information: The antenna does not need to operate with two set-top boxes mandatory! Control unit RED BLACK 12~24 V DC 5 A Control-Box Antenna Receiver Receiver

Warning: transport lock

Connect the device only at a 7 amp protected line. The line must be at least 2.5 mm² strong. (never directly to the car battery).

2.3 Satellite broadcasting

Direct Broadcast Service (DBS) satellites broadcast audio, video and data information from satellites located 22.000 miles in space. A receiving station, such as the antenna, should include a dish and satellite receiver to receive the signals and process them for use by the consumer audio and video equipment. The system requires a clear view of the satellite to maximize the signal reception. Objects such as tall lighthouse, bridges and big ship that block this view will cause a loss of signal. The signal will be quickly restored once the antenna has a clear line of sight again. Heavy rain, cloud, snow or ice may also interfere with the signal reception quality. If the satellite signal is lost due to blockage or severe weather condition, services from the receiver will be lost (picture will freeze frame and may disappear). When the satellite signal strength is again high enough, then the receiver will resume providing desired programming services.

2.4 Mounting on the roof

Please also note that the antenna height of the vehicle will change accor- dingly! Please strictly adhere to the various points in the installation instruc- tions! Basically, we recommend that you leave the installation to make by your dealer or work- shop! General information: Provide a suitable working environment, a garage/warehouse is better than open air. The ambient temperature for installation is between +5° C and max. +25° C. Work not directly in the sun. Comply with the safety regulations when handling with chemical products. Provide the necessary hygiene. Preparation:

1. Make sure that the roof of your vehicle is sufficiently stable. In case of insufficient or

doubtful roof stability is an approximately 2 mm thick plate with 100 x 100 cm is to be attached to the outer roof skin. Ask to your vehicle manufacturer.

2. Make sure that all parts are present. You may also need a roof penetration for the

connecting cable of the antenna. This you get in specialist shops.

3. Place the antenna on the installation area and align it so that the antenna connection

is not facing forward. Make sure that the mounting location is flat and do not interfere with roof constructions that can interfere with satellite reception. Constructions up to 8 cm in height do not matter, higher constructions should have a respective distance from the antenna, so that no barrier exists between the antenna and the satellite. The least distance to an air conditioner should be 30 cm.

4. Clean the mounting surface with a suitable cleaner and a fleece cloth to remove dirt

and impurities. Then draw the antenna feet with a pen.

5. Roughen the drawn areas and feet

with sandpaper (120 grit) to easily and thoroughly clean the surface again with Cleaner (WARNING: then no lon- ger touch areas) and let the clean dry for about 10 minutes.

6. Unless you have a way to run the cable through an existing roof outlet, look for a

suitable place (best in the wind shadow behind the antenna) on the roof for the instal- lation of a roof outlet to avoid the ingress of moisture (eg rain or splash water) in the wellbore. Make sure that the cables are not curved too much to avoid signal loss and damage the cable (bending radius max. 5-7 cm).

1. Prepare the glue for mounting.

2. Now take the glue on the underside of the antenna bases in

serpentine lines, so that the glue can harden well to the inside.

3. Now place immediately (within 5 minutes after adhesive application), the antenna

on the marked fields. Press your feet slightly and evenly and fix the antenna so that it stays in place, eg by an adhesive tape. It must be after pressing for at least 2 mm glue between antenna and surface. The adhesive is cured max. in 48 hours at +18° C and a relative humidity of 50%. Should prevail low humidity during the assembly time, spray after bonding in the vicinity of the antenna always some water in the air.

4. Remove any spilled adhesive immediately with a putty knife or similar and clean the

soiled surfaces with the cleaner and a fleece cloth.

5. For safety, you can attach the antenna bases additionally. Given by drill through the

existing hole in the respective antenna to the roof of your car and fix it with a screw with locking nut. In order for the freshly bonded feet can not slip, wait with this work until the adhesive has cured.

6. After the complete assembly and curing of the adhesive, a silicone can be drawn

around the antenna bases.10 11ENGLISH ENGLISH

2. Installation 3. Firmware Update

2.4 Start up and operation

1. Turn on the control unit at the main switch. The green LED (PWR) on the control unit

lights up - the boot process starts.

2. After booting the pre-installed satellites are displayed. Choose within 2 seconds the

desired satellite with the satellite selection buttons (up / down).

3. The control unit checks whether all components

are connected and the system is ready for opera- tion. If the control unit found an error, the display shows „FAIL“ behind the respective point and the red LED (ERR) is lit continuously. If everything is confirmed with OK now starts the search process. During the search operation, the yellow LED indi- cator (SEARCH) flashes.

4. After a successful search, the control unit displays the satellite list in the display, the

yellow LED goes out and the display is dimmed. From time to time it happens that the firmware of the controller needs to be updated (eg. change a frequency of the satellite operator or general improvement of the control unit). You can find the latest firmware from our homepage www.megasat.tv

1. Copy the firmware file to an appropriate USB

stick. The USB flash drive should be formatted in FAT32 and do not include other files.

2. Make sure that the control unit is turned off at

3. Insert the USB flash drive with the new firmware

into the USB socket on the front.

4. Now switch on the control unit. The control unit

boots and starts the update process automati- cally. IMPORTANT: Do not turn o the con- trol unit during the update procedure in order to avoid any damage!

5. After a successful update, the control unit swit-

ches off and restarts automatically. The update process is now complete. The current firmware is displayed shortly after the boot process on the display. Note: To change the satellite, you can use the satellite selection buttons (up / down). The control unit starts searching again.4. Settings for the Skew 5. Trouble shooting

13ENGLISH ENGLISH Skew setting values for European capitals The following settings must be made only with Campingman Kompakt 2 (without Auto Skew). Signals in the vertical (red) and horizontal (blue) line have an offset of exactly 90° to each other. Due to the different position of the satellites, depending on your location, it is possible that the signals do not meet exactly vertically and horizontally on the LNB. To adjust this, turn the LNB into the correct position to the transmitted signal. This adjustment to the LNB is called „skew adjustment“. The following illustration shows the optimal setting of the LNB. More accurate the match, the better of reception.

If the weather conditions allow a good reception again, the TV screen will be restored. Displays on the control unit Antenna (FAIL) There is no connection to the antenna, or there are communication problems with the antenna. If necessary, check the coaxial line. Tuner (FAIL) There are problems with the tuner input of the control unit. Please contact a dealer for inspection. Button (FAIL) There are problems with the mainboard of the control unit. Please contact a dealer for inspection. Satellite can‘t be found (only for Campingman without Auto Skew) If the antenna has not found satellites, check the Skew settings for the satellite at your location. Please check the table of Skew settings. The basic setting of the LNB is 0°. Should they deviate more than 5°, adjust the degrees accordingly. There is dirt on the antenna? Excessive dirt on the housing may cause reception problems. Everything is properly connected and turned on? Your satellite TV receiver might be set up incorrectly or defective. First check the recei- ver’s configuration to ensure it is set up for the desired programming. In the case of a faulty receiver, refer to your selected receiver’s user manual for service and warranty information. Satellite footprint Satellites are positioned in fixed positions in orbit above the equator. To receive TV si- gnals, the receiving location must be within the coverage area. Check reference to the graphic, if you are located in the footprint of the satellite. In the fringes of the footprint may lead to reception interference. Satellite frequency data changed If some channels work, while one or more other channels do not, or if the antenna cannot find the selected satellite, the satellite’s frequency data might have changed.

-90°+90°Note: In the outlying areas of the footprint there may be interference.
