KATHREIN HDP 850 GPS - Supply Voltage, Fusing - 1

Risk of severe injuries due to cable fi re!

Removing or bypassing the fuse in the cable can cause cable fire.

▶ Do not remove or bypass the fuse in the cable.

KATHREIN HDP 850 GPS - Risk of severe injuries due to cable fi re! - 1

Material damage due to the absence of a blade fuse in the cable!

▶ Protect the positive wire (red) of the power supply cable by using a 15 A blade fuse (included).
The fuse must be installed professionally.
▶ If the fuse is blown, replace it by a fuse of the same rating (15 A).
▶ Eliminate the cause of the fault.

To ensure a reliable function of the turntable:

▶ Operate the turntable on the (12 V) vehicle battery or on a suitable power supply unit. The power supply unit must ensure a stable output voltage of 12 V, a continuous current of 5 A and 10 A (20 ms) surge current. The short-time power consumption may be up to a maximum of 7 A (for approx. 5 ms).
▶ Connect the power supply cable directly to the battery.

The power supply cable is connected to the ignition circuit by means of the wire marked "Zündung" (ignition). This ensures the automatic lowering of the turntable. The lowering takes place as soon as the vehicle ignition circuit is turned on.
When connecting the turntable to the on-board power supply, make sure that the 12 V, earth and ignition wires cannot be disconnected by switches, as this could deactivate the automatic lowering function.

The turntable is lowered within 5 seconds after the ignition has been switched on, even if the CAP converter is switched off.

Checks Before Departure

To ensure a safe journey:

▶ Always lower the turntable to the horizontal position (parking position) before starting a journey.
▶ After collision with fixed or moving objects, check if the turntable is still securely attached.
As the turntable is subject to vibration loads during driving, check the system at regular intervals, depending on the frequency of operation, to ensure that it is firmly attached and tighten any loose parts.
▶ Do not exceed the maximum permissible speed of 130 km/h for vehicles with a receiver unit mounted on the roof.

Unpacking the turntable

KATHREIN HDP 850 GPS - Risk of material damage during transport! - 2

The packaging can be opened in the middle. This gives you better access to the fixing screws after the unit and the inserts have been removed from the packaging.
- Keep the original packaging: If it is necessary to send the unit for repair, use the original packaging to prevent transport damage. The manufacturer accepts no liability for possible damage due to insufficient packaging.

  1. Loosen the six fastening screws (width across fl ats: 10 mm).
  2. Carefully lift the turntable off the mounting plate and place it on the two wooden beams. Make sure that the cables are not crushed where they emerge from the underside of the turntable.

Installing the Turntable

Selecting the Installation Site

The cable lengths of the supplied components and parts allow free choice of the installation location on the caravan or motor home.

Observe the following points when selecting the installation location:

Before installation, find out whether the operating manual for your vehicle permits the installation of non-vehicle-specific parts or which requirements must be met to do so.

For good satellite reception, there should be no obstacles between the turntable and the satellite. Make sure that the turntable is not shaded by roof structures such as roof boxes, air conditioners, solar panels or similar.

The problem of shading also applies when choosing a parking place for the vehicle. For interference-free satellite reception, the turntable needs a clear view to the south at an angle of 0^ to 65^ (depending on location) in relation to the horizontal plane.

When selecting the installation position, observe the operating range of the turntable. There should not be any attachments on the roof within this operating range (risk of collision). To be on the safe side, keep slightly more than the required area free. This facilitates installation and any subsequent removal (see Required free space on the roof, p. 12).

▶ Choose an installation position on the roof that is as horizontal as possible or only slightly sloping, depending on the location of the vehicle, since roof inclinations greater than 5^ may lead to problems when searching for the satellite. To ensure secure adhesion, the height difference of the roof curve should not be more than 1 cm over a length of 2 m, as otherwise the gap between the roof and the mounting plate would be too large to be filled by the sealing adhesive.

As the vehicle is constantly subjected to vibration loads during travel, the roof below the turntable is also subject to signifi cant loads. Please note, regarding the condition and load capacity of your vehicle roof, that the weight of the turntable is approx. 11.8 kg (see the operating manual of the vehicle). If in doubt, consult a qualified specialist dealer or your vehicle's manufacturer.

The roof gland provides a watertight seal through which the three cables (2 x coaxial cables and power supply cable) are fed into the interior of the vehicle directly underneath the turntable. If you prefer a different method of laying the cables, you can run them out from the rear of the turntable via the channel provided in the mounting plate. The cables must then be run along the roof of the vehicle in a protective cable duct and through a separate roof gland HDZ 100 (neither of them is included in the scope of delivery).

If you have previously used a Kathrein HDM 140/141 jointed tripod mast or another mast with a diameter of 34 mm, you can continue using the existing through hole in the roof. There is no need to enlarge this hole, as the roof gland also requires a borehole of 38 mm diameter.

O-ringAdhesive Ø 38

Installing the cable gland

  1. In the centre of the intended position of the turntable, drill the opening for the cable gland with a circular drill of 38 mm diameter.
  2. Deburr the hole using a round file or emery paper.
  3. Insert the roof gland provisionally into the drill hole (see ☐ Installing the cable gland, p. 13).
  4. Continue with: Installing the Mounting Plate, p. 13.

Installing the Cable Gland Outside the Turntable

KATHREIN HDP 850 GPS - Installing the Cable Gland Outside the Turntable - 1

If a feed-through underneath the turntable, as described in Installing the Cable Gland Underneath the Turntable, p. 13, is not possible, you can use our external roof gland HDZ 100 to make an alternative feed-through.

  1. When installing the external roof gland, please observe the HDZ 100 instruction manual. It can be found under https://www.kathrein-ds.com/support/downloadbereich.
  2. Continue with: Installing the Mounting Plate, p. 13.

Installing the Mounting Plate

KATHREIN HDP 850 GPS - Installing the Mounting Plate - 1

The size of the holes and the choice of fastening screws to be used (not included) depend on the type and thickness of the materials used in the roof structure. If the roof panelling (plastic roof) is strong enough, it is recommended to use round head screws, plain washers and self-locking nuts to secure the mounting plate.

Recess for cable Adhesive area between the two grooves

The mounting plate should always be screwed and glued on. Alternatively, having a certifi ed specialist dealer glue on the mounting plate professionally may eliminate the need for screwing it on.

  1. Place the mounting plate on the roof of the vehicle so that the centre hole is aligned centrically to the cable gland. The arrow symbol must be visible from above and point forwards in the direction of travel (see 📷 Aligning the mounting plate, p. 13).

  2. Mark out the positions of the six circularly arranged mounting holes on the vehicle roof.

  3. If the roof panel material is very thin and the insulation material does not provide sufficient support either, drill through holes ( 5.5 mm) into the interior of the vehicle and use sufficiently long galvanised M5 round head screws. Make sure to use a sufficiently strong counter support that can withstand the bolt loads (large washer or reinforcing plate).

  4. Drill the holes required for fixing the mounting plate (see Fixing the mounting plate, p. 13).

  5. In addition to screwing on the mounting plate, support and roof gland, glue them onto the roof and seal them. To do this, use a sealing adhesive which is suitable for this purpose (e.g. DEKAsyl MS power adhesive). Pay attention to the following:

- Before working with the sealing adhesive, carefully read through the safety data sheet and the technical data sheet of the sealing adhesive!

- To ensure good adhesion, ensure that the surface is clean, dry and free of grease. Clean the roof surface in a radius of 35cm around the borehole with a suitable cleaning agent and allow the surface to dry well.

  1. Proceed as follows when gluing on the mounting plate and the support:

- Before starting to work with the sealing adhesive, ensure that the processing temperature of the materials to be glued together and the sealing adhesive is between +5 °C and +35 °C. Prepare all necessary fastening elements and tools.

- Prepare the sealing adhesive according to the enclosed instructions.

- Pull out the roof gland (see ☐ Installing the cable gland, p. 13) and apply the sealing adhesive evenly to the underside of the roof gland fl ange.

- Insert the roof gland into the drilled hole and press it against the vehicle roof.

- Apply the sealing adhesive evenly to the underside of the mounting plate, completely covering the area inside the circular groove (see 📷 Applying adhesive, p. 13). Glue this area completely to the vehicle roof to achieve the necessary bonding force.

- Place the mounting plate on the vehicle roof as you did before for marking the drill holes. Make sure that the arrow on the mounting plate points in the forward direction of the vehicle and that the fastening holes are aligned with the drilled holes.

- Fasten the mounting plate using the prepared screws, evenly tightening the six screws in a diagonal sequence.

KATHREIN HDP 850 GPS - Installing the Mounting Plate - 5

Material damage by overtightening the screws!

The sealing adhesive will fi II small gaps resulting from the curvature of the vehicle roof. Applying too much force when tightening the screws may bend the mounting plate.

▶ Tighten the screws carefully.

- Use a clean colourless cloth to remove any sealing adhesive leaking from the sides. Pay attention to the following:

Do not use cleaning agents or thinners containing solvents, as this could damage the sealing adhesive applied underneath the mounting plate.

Soak the cloth in acetone or MEK. Test acetone or MEK on an inconspicuous spot first to be sure that it does not damage the surface.

- Use only cleansing paste and water to clean your hands.

- Fasten the cable gland. To do this, screw on the enclosed knurled nut from inside the vehicle (see Installing the cable gland, p. 13).

- Note that the curing of the sealing adhesive depends on the ambient temperature and humidity. The final adhesive strength can be found in the data sheet of the sealing adhesive. However, the next installation steps can be carried out without delay as the mounting plate is held by the screws.

Cable Gland Underneath the Turntable

  1. Feed the ends of the cables with the connectors as far as possible through the cable gland into the interior of the vehicle.

  2. Lift the turntable and carefully place it on the mounting plate in the direction of travel (see 📄 Cable gland underneath, p. 15). Do not step on the connectors or kink/crush the cables.

  3. Align the through holes in the turntable with the threaded holes in the mounting plate. When lowering the turntable, make sure that the cables are fed through the cable gland and are not crushed.

  4. Apply a little sealing adhesive to the six threaded holes in the mounting plate and screw the fastening screws into the threads. Tighten the screws to a torque of 6 Nm.

  5. To prevent water vapour from inside the vehicle from entering the turntable through the roof gland, insert the three cables into the enclosed seal, fold it and insert it as far as possible into the roof gland. Make sure that no tensile load is acting downwards on the seal as this can cause it to fall out over time.

Cable Gland Outside the Turntable

The outer roof gland is designed as follows: The junctions of the three cables from the turntable and the extensions into the vehicle are arranged in a waterproof housing on the vehicle roof. If necessary, they can be separated again at this point (see ▶ble gland outside, p. 15).

  1. Organise the cables in the cable duct when placing the turntable onto the mounting plate. Untangle them and make sure that they are taut so that they cannot be crushed.

KATHREIN HDP 850 GPS - Cable Gland Outside the Turntable - 1

Material damage due to pulling the cables out of the turntable!

▶ Do not pull the cables out of the unit.
▶ Do not install the roof gland in the area of the turntable.

  1. Place the turntable carefully on the mounting plate. Make sure that the through holes on the turntable are perfectly aligned with the threaded holes on the mounting plate.
  2. Apply a little sealing adhesive to the six threaded holes in the mounting plate and screw the fastening screws into the threads. Tighten the screws to a torque of 6 Nm.
  3. When feeding the connecting cables through the HDZ 100 roof gland, make sure they are not crushed, kinked or damaged. Do not lay cables underneath the LNB.

Mounting the LNB Arm Support

To ensure that the LNB arm is securely fixed and that no vibrations can occur during travel, the LNB arm is seated on a support.

  1. Select a mounting location for the support (see distances in Mounting the LNB arm support, p. 16).
  2. Mark the corner points of the support.
  3. Apply sealing adhesive (e.g. DEKAsyl MS power adhesive) to both feet of the support and position the support (proceed as described in: Applying sealing adhesive and attaching the support, p. 40)

Connecting the Turntable

KATHREIN HDP 850 GPS - Connecting the Turntable - 1

Damage to cables from sharp edges and chafing points!

▶ Do not lay cables across sharp edges.
▶ Protect cables against possible chafing points.

Lay the master coaxial cable (marked red) to the control unit (CAP converter - "Antenna/IF Input") and the slave coaxial cable to a second TV with integrated SAT tuner or receiver (if available).

KATHREIN HDP 850 GPS - Damage to cables from sharp edges and chafing points! - 1

If you are not using a receiver, we recommend that you lay the second slave coaxial cable anyway, so that you can use it later if necessary.

  • Lay the power supply cable of the turntable (3-pin plug) to the battery. Use the supplied power extension cable if necessary.
  • Connect the master coaxial cable to the "Antenna/IF INPUT" connector on the rear panel of the control unit (CAP converter). Use the coaxial extension cable if necessary.
  • Make sure that all voltage feeds to the individual devices are protected with suitable fuses and have been professionally installed. Make sure that all fuses are intact. If a fuse blows, the source of the fault must first be eliminated. The fuse may only be replaced by a fuse with the same rating.

KATHREIN HDP 850 GPS - Damage to cables from sharp edges and chafing points! - 2

Risk of severe injuries due to cable fi re!

▶ Never bypass the fuse in the cable.

  • At the connecting point for the power cable, the voltage must not fall below 11.5 V even with a higher load. Should this nevertheless be the case, optimum functioning can no longer be guaranteed.
  • Only for motor homes: The third, green core of the connecting cable, marked "ZÜNDUNG" (ignition), allows the connection to a circuit in the vehicle that is activated when the ignition key is turned and then carries a continuous 12 V supply voltage. This connection ensures that the turntable is automatically lowered to the parking position when the engine is started (the CAP converter does not have to be turned on for this).
  • Make sure that the 15 A fuse was expertly installed to the positive conductor (red) of the power supply cable.

KATHREIN HDP 850 GPS - Risk of severe injuries due to cable fi re! - 1

Malfunction and material damage due to reversed polarity!

When connecting the power cables, reversed polarity can lead to thermal overload and damage to components when the equipment is powered up. If the earth (-) of the ignition signal and the earth (-) of the vehicle battery for the turntable do not have the same potential, the automatic lowering of the turntable will not work!

▶ To ensure sufficient power supply to the automatic turntable, connect the current-carrying wires (red, black) directly to the vehicle battery.
In order for the turntable to lower automatically into the parking position, connect the green cable to the ignition and the black cable to the vehicle battery.
The supplied fuse must be connected between the positive pole of the battery and the red cable of the turntable.
For operation with two batteries, ensure that the earth of the ignition signal has the same potential as the earth of the vehicle battery for the turntable.
▶ Never reverse the poles (+ and -) when connecting the power cables (CAP converter and turntable) to the vehicle electrical system.

Functional Instructions for Connection to the Vehicle Electrical System

Problems may occur if the devices are connected to different connection sockets or circuits/earth potentials. It is recommended to connect the connection sockets for the CAP converter to the same cable. Check the current carrying capacity of the circuit used with respect to the intended application.

For operation with two batteries, ensure that the earth of the ignition signal has the same potential as the earth of the supply battery for the turntable. Otherwise, the automatic lowering function will not work! Do not reverse the polarity of the cable!

KATHREIN HDP 850 GPS - Functional Instructions for Connection to the Vehicle Electrical System - 3

To ensure that the GPS data can be read and that the turntable is automatically lowered to the parking position, connect the green wire to the ignition and the red and the black wire to the supply voltage.

Reception Range/Footprint

The footprint is the reception area on earth which the satellite covers with its transmission beam (spot) and in which satellite reception is possible. The transmission power is at its highest in the centre of this spot – it becomes progressively weaker towards the edges.

Preferably align your turntable with the position of the ASTRA satellites 19.2° East (blue footprint) or EUTELSAT/ HOTBIRD 13° East (red footprint). The spots for these satellites are shown below.

The blue footprint in the picture below shows the entire area covered by the ASTRA satellite with all transponders.

Polarisation Setting

Polarisation Setting Explained

The LNB of the turntable is factory-set to the polarisation setting 0. In this position, you can still receive signals from satellites with deviations of 15^ to 20^ . For larger deviations it may be useful to set the required polarisation angle by rotating the LNB.

KATHREIN HDP 850 GPS - Polarisation Setting Explained - 1

We expressly point out that positioning the LNB at a deviation of up to +45° or up to -45° from the centre position only makes sense if a satellite to the far west or the far east is actually to be preferred for reception.

The respective setting angle required for the polarisation can be found in the following table.

Updating the Turntable via the CAP converter

The turntable can only be updated manually via the CAP converter. The procedure is described in the service manual.

GPS Signal

The turntable is equipped with GPS: After receiving a valid GPS signal, the inclination angle of the turntable is automatically adjusted. This eliminates the need to enter the location and considerably reduces search times after a major change of location!

In order to receive a GPS signal, the turntable must be moved into parking position and connected to the 12 V on-board power supply.

If the turntable does not receive a valid GPS signal, the location can be entered as usual via the HDS 50 control panel or the CI-BUS control panel.

KATHREIN HDP 850 GPS - GPS Signal - 1

Note!

As soon as a valid GPS signal is received, the location display in the CI-BUS control unit is no longer active!

The GPS signal can also be obtained via your smartphone/tablet in conjunction with the CAPcontrol app. To do so, connect the CAP converter to your smartphone/tablet via the UFZ 132. The turntable now automatically retrieves the GPS signal from your mobile device (provided GPS on your smartphone/tablet is switched on).

Selecting the Installation Site

KATHREIN HDP 850 GPS - Selecting the Installation Site - 1

When choosing the place of installation, bear in mind that the rear of the CAP converter should always be accessible. The CAP converter is equipped with a power saving circuit, which means that the unit does not need to be placed where it is visible. This allows you to install the CAP converter out of sight in any position, e.g. on cabinet walls, side panels or storage shelves.

The four screw holes make it possible to place the CAP converter on a firm horizontal surface but also to screw it on in any desired position.

When choosing the installation place, observe the following:

  • The wall thickness of the installation surface must be at least 15 mm, as otherwise the screws will break through on the other side or damage the surface.
  • The cabinet or storage compartment in which the unit is to be installed must be sufficiently ventilated to prevent heat accumulation. Carpet-covered walls are unsuitable for installation
  • When screwing in the screws, do not damage any cables or similar that are laid behind or in the installation wall.
    • The CAP converter is exclusively intended for installation in dry indoor areas.
  • The cable lengths must be taken into account when choosing the installation place.
    • Strain-relieve the connecting cables.

Connections and fuses

All connecting cables are connected to the rear of the CAP converter. Viewed from the front, there is a fuse inserted from the outside on the left side of the CAP converter. This fuse must also be accessible after installation of the CAP converter so that it can be easily replaced if necessary. For more information about the type of fuse, see the sticker on the CAP converter and the fuse itself.

Ventilation

The heat generated in the CAP converter is dissipated on all sides of the housing. When selecting the installation place, make sure that these sides are not obstructed or covered. If the device is permanently insufficiently ventilated, this can have a negative effect on the service life of the device!

Maintain a clearance of at least 20 cm above/below, 2 cm to each side and 5 cm behind and in front of the device to allow unobstructed heat dissipation.

20 cm 5 cm 2 cm Minimum clearance 2 cm 5 cm

KATHREIN HDP 850 GPS - Ventilation - 2

Material damage due to insufficient ventilation!

The device monitors its own operating temperature. Continuous operation of the device above the recommended operating temperature due to insufficient ventilation can lead to premature failure of the device. This is not a warranty/guarantee case!

The CAP converter may only be operated at the recommended operating temperature.
