Delivery

• Control unit incl. powercable
- 1x antenna cable (10 m)
- 1x antenna cable (1 m)
• Power supply 230 V (12 V, 5 A) (optional)
- User manual

System Components

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!

Warning: transport lock

Then remove with the „LOCK" marked screw inside the antenna.

Antenna unit

The elegant plastic housing will protecting the antenna against outside weather conditions. Under the housing there is a 37 cm (45 or 60 cm) high performance antenna. The new technology of 0-90° elevation enables optimal reception across Europe.

Control unit

The control unit is used for satellite selection and control. It is connected between the antenna and the set-top box and supplied the antenna with electricity.

Warning:

Seaman 45 and 60 additionally has an auto skew feature that automatically adjusts the angle of polarization of the LNB and a GPS receiver for fast and accurate positioning.

Connection

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:

Warning:

Connect the device only at a 7 amp protected line.

The line must be at least 2.5 mm ^2 strong. (never directly to the car battery).

Satellite broadcasting

Direct Broadcast Service (DBS) satellites broadcast audio, video and data information from satellites located 22 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 bad 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.

Startup and operation

1. Turn on the TV and the set-top box. The green LNB LED on the display of the control box lights up when the satellite receiver is turned on and a supply voltage for the LNB is available.
2. Turn on the control unit. Then, the indicator of the preset satellites lights red. Shortly thereafter, the LED starts to flash for about 5 seconds. Only this time you can select another satellite by press the white key. Each press of the button, the display will continue to a satellite position. Press it as long until the desired satellite is flashing. Now the search is started.
3. When a satellite is found, the antenna stop and carries out a fine-tuning. Then begins to identify the satellite identification (ID). This process can be tracked on the display. After successful identification, LOCKED* ap-
   pears in the display. Should not be identified the satellite of your choice, the antenna corrected the position. Once the satellite is correct, the display will show it (eg ID:AS1). After a successful search, the receiver is assured by the antenna.

It shows current operational status	It shows intensity of signal

1. The Seaman 45 and 60 has a tracking function, which allows to receive even while driving a permanent signal. This is fully automatic and requires no adjustments to the equipment.
2. The antenna is constantly moving in order to detect any changes in the position. If your vehicle at a fixed location, the movement of the antenna cause irritating noises. Therefore press the "SLEEP" button on the control unit to turn off the tracking function of the antenna. To activate the automatic positioning again, please restart the control unit.
3. When the tracking function is not disabled and there was no movement on the vehicle at least for 10 min., the function is switched off automatically. If the antenna or the vehicle moves easily (eg walking in the vehicle), the tracking function is activated automatically.

Note: Changing the satellite is only possible shortly after switching on the power (as described in point 3) or after successful satellite search.

Preprogrammed satellites:

ASTRA 2 Position for Astre 7 to 78.7° East

ASTRA 3 Position for Astre 3 to 23.5° East

ASTRA 1 Position for Astre 1 to 19.2^ East

HOTBIRD Position for Hotbird to 13° East

ASTRA 4 Position for Astra 4 (Sirius) to 4,8° East

THOR Position for Thor to 0.8 ^th West

HISPASAT Position for Hispaset to 30° Wey

TURKSAT Position for Turksat to 47° East

Setting the LNB Skew

The following settings are only for the Seaman 37 (without AutoSkew). An overview of the skew settings can be found on page 11.

Illustration of a satellite with red and blue stripes (no text or symbols)

0° -90° +90°

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 horizon tally 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 figure shows the optimal setting of the LNB. More accurate the match, the better of reception.

Troubleshooting

No Signal

- Objects such as trees, bridges, and large buildings, which are located in the angle of the satellite will lead to a loss of the signal.

- If the satellite signal is lost through severe weather conditions, the current program of the receiver is stopped (the image freeze, or disappear). If the weather conditions allow a good reception again, the TV screen will be restored.

- Make sure that the settings of the set-top box to LNB voltage is switched on. This is indicated by the green LED on the control unit (LED green = LNB voltage present).

• Only Seaman 37 (without AutoSkew)

If the antenna has not found satellites, check the Skew settings for the satellite at your location. An overview of the skew settings can be found on page 11. 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 receiver'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

Television satellites are located in fixed positions above the Earth's equator and beam TV signals down to certain regions of the planet (not worldwide). To receive TV signals from a satellite, you must be located within that satellite's unique coverage area. With the figure on page 14, you can check if you are located in the footprint of the satellite. In the outlying areas of the footprint there may be 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.

Error message on the display: „Communication Error“

The antenna is not connected to the control unit. Check the wiring to the antenna.

Firmware Update

When the frequency is switched off, on which the antenna idendifiziert the satellite, you must update the firmware of the control unit.

The current firmware version of the control unit, you can read on the bottom of the screen in the first 3 seconds after switching on.

Please check our website for the latest firmware version.

Preparing the SD card:

Before you use the SD card, format it to "FAT32"

After you format the SD card, copy the new software on it.

Update process:

1. Turn off the controller.
2. Insert the SD card into the slot on the rear side of the control unit.
3. Turn on the control unit. The following will appear in the display:

SD CARD DETECTED WRITING SOFTWARE

1. After the software is copied, the following message appears:

LOAD COMPLETE

1. Now switch off the control unit and remove the SD card.
2. Turn on the control unit again. The firmware is updated now.
