2. Installation

2.1 Installation on the roof

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!

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.

Preparation

1. Make sure that the roof of your vehicle is sufficiently stable. If the roof stability is insufficient 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 are present.

3. Place the antenna on the later mounting place and align it so that the mirror and the LNB unit point towards the rear of the vehicle. Ensure that the mounting surface is level and that no roof structures are in the way. Always observe the mounting dimensions in this user manual. The minimum distance to an air conditioning unit should be 30 cm.

4. Clean the mounting surface with a suitable cleaner and a fleece cloth to remove dirt and impurities. Then mark the antenna base with a pen.

2. Installation

1. Slightly roughen the drawn surfaces and feet with sandpaper (120 grain) and clean the surface again with the cleaner and allow the cleaner to flash off for about 10 minutes. WARNING: Do not touch the surfaces afterwards.
2. Mount the roof lead-through (preferably in the slipstream behind the antenna) 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).

2.2 Gluing instructions

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 field. Press the foot lightly and evenly and fix 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 relative 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 fleece 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 fix 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.

2. Installation

2.3 Indoor installation

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 sufficient 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 fire in the event of a short circuit. The yellow cable is connected to the ignition plus of the vehicle and is also protected by a 7 amp fuse (This cable only needs to be connected if the antenna is to retract automatically when the engine is started). The remaining black cable is connected to the corresponding negative pole of the ignition system (ground).

- 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)

Note:

With the Caravanman Kompakt 3 Twin you connect a second coaxial cable from the antenna directly to the second TV or satellite receiver.

2.6 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.

Good reception signal B

ad reception signal

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.

5. Troubleshooting

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 interrupted (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 correctly and the connections screwed tightly onto the coaxial cable? Also check the coaxial cable for kinks.

Footprint of the satellite

Satellites are in fixed 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 firmware of the control unit is outdated

If transponders on the satellite are changed, the antenna may no longer be able to find the satellite. Update the firmware 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).
