Introduction

1.3 System components

04 ENGLISH Antenna unit The high-performance antenna and the elevation angle of 15- 62° allow the best possible reception in the most important ho- liday destinations in Europe. WARNING! Before mounting, remove the screw marked „LOCK“ on the bottom of the antenna. Control unit The control unit is used for satellite selection and control. It is connected between antenna and TV (receiver) and supplies the antenna with power. After successful alignment the device can be switched o. Open the carton and remove the control unit, connection cables and packing material. Lift the antenna straight up out of the box. Never turn the system upside down! Note: The Campingman Kompakt 2 Twin also has an auto-skew function that auto- matically adjusts the polarisation angle of the LNB and an additional connecti- on for a second receiver. The control unit may only be operated at the connec- tion marked „Control-Box“. Only this connection is intended for control.2. Installation 05ENGLISH Preparation:

1. Make sure that the roof of your vehicle is suciently stable. If the roof sta-

bility is insucient or doubtful, attach an approx. 2 mm thick sheet metal plate measuring approx. 100 x 100 cm to the outer skin of the roof. Please ask your vehicle manufacturer for more information.

2. Check that all parts you need for assembly are present.

3. Place the antenna on the later mounting place and align it so that the an-

tenna connection points towards the rear. Ensure that the installation site is level and that there are no roof structures in the way which could interfere with the satellite reception. Superstructures up to 8 cm high do not pose a problem. Higher superstructures should have an appropriate distance to the antenna, so that there is no obstacle between antenna and satellite. The minimum distance to an air conditioner should be 30 cm.

4. Clean the mounting surface with

a suitable cleaner and a eece cloth to remove dirt and impuri- ties. Then mark the antenna feet with a pen. General information Provide a suitable workplace, a garage/hall is better than an outdoor place. The ambient temperature for installation must be between +5° C and max. +25° C. Do not work directly in the sun. Observe the work regulations when handling chemical products. Ensure the necessary work hygiene. As a matter of principle, we recommend having the installation carried out by your specialist dealer or a specialist workshop! Please also note that the vehicle height changes accordingly due to the antenna! Please strictly adhere to the individual points of the installation instructions!

2.1 Installation on the roof2. Installation

5. Slightly roughen the drawn surfaces and feet with sandpaper (120 grain)

and clean the surface again with the cleaner and allow the cleaner to ash o for about 10 minutes. WARNING: Do not touch the surfaces afterwards.

6. Mount the roof lead-through (preferably in the slipstream behind the an-

tenna) on the vehicle roof. Make sure that the penetration of water and moisture (e.g. rain or splash water) into the drill hole is avoided. Make sure that the cables are not bent too much to avoid signal loss and damage to the cable (smallest bending radius max. 5-7 cm).

1. Prepare the adhesive for mounting.

2. Now apply the adhesive to the underside

of the antenna base in serpentine lines so that the adhesive cures well all the way inside.

3. Now immediately (within 5 minutes after applying the adhesive) place the

antenna on the marked eld. Press the foot lightly and evenly and x the antenna so that it does not slip, e.g. with adhesive tape. There must still be at least 2 mm of adhesive between the antenna foot and the surface after pressing on. The adhesive is cured after max. 48 hours at +18° C and a rela- tive humidity of 50%. If there is a low humidity during the installation period, spray some water into the air around the antenna after the adhesive has been applied.

4. Remove any leaked adhesive mass immediately with a spatula or similar and

clean the soiled surfaces with the cleaner and a eece cloth.

5. For safety reasons, you can additionally attach the antenna base. To do this,

drill through the existing holes in the antenna base into the roof of your vehicle and x it with a screw and lock nut. To prevent the freshly glued foot from slipping, wait until the adhesive has hardened.

6. After complete assembly and hardening of the adhesive, a silicone joint can

be drawn around the antenna base.

1. The coax cable is laid inside the vehicle.

2. When choosing the location for the control unit and the satellite receiver,

make sure that both devices are in a dry and protected place.

3. Do not place the control unit and satellite receiver near heat sources and

ensure sucient ventilation.

4. The basic connection options for the antenna system are shown below:

Connect the power supply (red-black cable) for the control unit to your vehicle‘s battery via a fuse (7 amps) to prevent cable re in the event of a short circuit. Connect the coax cable from the antenna to the control unit (10 m coax cable with F-plug in „ANTENNA“) Connect the control unit to the TV or satellite receiver (1 m coaxial cable with F-plug from „RECEIVER“ to the satellite receiver)

2.3 Indoor installation

Note: With the Campingman Kompakt 3 Twin you connect a second coaxial cable from the antenna directly to the second TV or satellite receiver.2. Installation 08 ENGLISH

2.4 Connection of the components

Do not mount the control unit and the satellite receiver in the vehicle interior in the area of an airbag. Make sure that the cables are laid carefully to avoid short circuits. Also pay attention to existing cables. Connect the antenna as shown in the gure: Control unit RED BLACK 12 V DC 5 A

2.6 Satellite broadcasting

Direct Broadcast Service (DBS) satellites broadcast audio, video and data infor- mation 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. Good reception signal Bad reception signal11ENGLISH You only need to make the following settings for the Campingman Kompakt 3 (without Auto Skew)!

3. Setting values for the skew

Skew setting values for European capitals Signals in vertical (red) and horizontal (blue) lines have an oset of exactly 90° to each other. Due to the dierent position of the satellites, depending on your location, it is possible that the signals do not hit the LNB exactly vertically and horizontally. To adjust this, you must bring the LNB into the cor- rect position to the transmitted signal. This adjustment on the LNB is called „skew ad- justment“. The following gure shows you the optimal adjustment of the LNB. The closer the match, the better the reception.

4.1 Designation of the respective LEDs and keys

13ENGLISH Note: If you want to start the search at another location, simply press the Standby key to search for the last selected satellite.

1. Switch the control unit on at the standby button.

The search LED ashes green during the search process.

The satellite LED of the last used satellite ashes green.

To change the satellite, you must change the satellite with the arrow keys within approx. 3-5 seconds while the LEDs are ashing. Later changing is only possible if the antenna has found a satellite before.

Conrm the satellite selection with the OK button or wait 3-5 se- conds until the satellite logs in automatically.

After the selected satellite has been found, the reception LED will light up orange.

If the selected satellite was not found, the Error LED will light red.

After successful search, you can switch o the control unit again at the standby key.5. Mobile App to control the antenna 14 ENGLISH With the app, the satellites can be changed via the smartpho- ne or tablet. Future rmware updates for the control unit can also be made. The app is available free of charge from the App Store (iOS) or the Google Play Store (Android). Search for the name „Megasat“ in the respective store.

1. After the app has opened, the

following start screen appears.

Troubleshooting 18 ENGLISH No satellite signal Objects such as trees, bridges and large houses located at the satellite‘s angle of incidence cause the signal to be lost. If the satellite signal is lost due to severe weather conditions, the current program of the TV or receiver will be interrup- ted (the picture will pixelate, freeze or disappear). When the weather conditions allow good reception again, the TV picture will be restored. Is there dirt on the antenna? Heavy dirt on the housing can cause reception problems. Is everything correctly connected and switched on? Make sure that the TV and the receiver are connected correctly and that the receiver is correctly set for satellite reception. Are all cables connected correc- tly and the connections screwed tightly onto the coaxial cable? Also check the coaxial cable for kinks. Footprint of the satellite Satellites are in xed positions above the equator in orbit. In order to receive the TV signals, the receiving location must be within the footprint. Use the diagram to check whether your location is within the satellite‘s footprint. In the peripheral areas of the footprint, reception interference may occur. Satellite frequency of a TV channel was changed TV stations change their frequency sporadically, which then no longer matches the frequency in the receiver. Ask for the current frequency of the channel. The rmware of the control unit is outdated If transponders on the satellite are changed, the antenna may no longer be able to nd the satellite. Update the rmware of the control unit to get the latest transponder information. The mobil app does not connect to the control unit Make sure that Bluetooth

on your mobile device is switched on and that you are in the direct vicinity of the control unit (max. 10 metres).19ENGLISH
