3. Mounting and installation

3.1 Mounting on the roof of the vehicle

  1. Provide a suitable workplace. A garage or hall is better than an outdoor place. The ambient temperature for mounting 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 working hygiene.

  2. Make sure that the roof of your vehicle is sufficiently stable. For If the stability of the roof is insufficient or doubtful, an approx. 2 mm thick sheet metal of approx. 100 x 100 cm must be fastened to the outer skin of the roof. For further information please contact your vehicle manufacturer.

  3. Check that all parts are present.

  4. Place the antenna at the later installation site and align it so that the mirror and the LNB unit point towards the rear of the vehicle. Make sure that the mounting surface is flat and that there are no roof structures in the way. The minimum distance to an air conditioner should be 30 cm.

3.2 Gluing instruction

  1. Prepare the adhesive for assembly.

  2. Now apply the adhesive to the marked area of the roof in serpentine lines so that the adhesive can cure evenly over the entire surface.

  3. Now immediately (within 5 minutes of applying the adhesive) place the antenna on the marked field. Press the foot lightly and evenly on and

MEGASAT Caravanman 85 Premium V2 - Gluing instruction - 1

text_image 1000

fix the antenna so that it does not slip, e.g. with an adhesive tape. After pressing, there must be at least 2 mm of adhesive between the antenna foot and the surface. The adhesive is cured after max. 48 hours at +18°C and a relative humidity of 50%. If the air humidity is lower during installation, spray some water into the air again and again after sticking the adhesive in the vicinity of the antenna.

  1. Remove the possibly leaked adhesive immediately with a spatula or similar and clean the contaminated surfaces with the cleaner and a fleece cloth.

  2. For safety reasons, you can also attach the antenna base. Drill through the existing holes in the antenna foot into the roof of your vehicle and fix it with a screw and lock nut. To prevent the freshly glued base from slipping, wait with this work until the adhesive has hardened.

  3. After the complete assembly and hardening of the adhesive, a silicone joint can be drawn around the antenna base.

3.3 Mounting the roof outlet

3.3 Mounting the roof outlet

If there is no existing roof lead-through that can be used, look for a suitable place (preferably in the slipstream behind the antenna) on the vehicle roof. Make sure that water and moisture (e.g. rain or splash water) do not penetrate the borehole. 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).

The roof grommet is glued to the vehicle roof like the antenna itself.

After mounting the bushing, feed the cables through the respective openings and then tighten the clamping screws.

4. Preparations for commissioning

4.1 Choice of location

Objects such as trees, bridges and large houses located at the satellite's angle of incidence cause the signal to be lost. Heavy rain, clouds, snow or ice can affect the reception quality. If the satellite signal is lost due to severe weather conditions, the current program of the receiver will be stopped (the image will freeze or disappear). When the weather conditions allow good reception again, the TV picture will be restored (No new search process necessary).

4.2 Manual skew setting

Signals in vertical (red) and horizontal (blue) lines have an offset of exactly 90^ to each other. Due to the different positions 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 place the LNB in the correct position to the transmitted signal. This adjustment to the LNB is called a „skew setting“. The following figure shows the optimal adjustment of the LNB. The better the match, the better the reception.
