32. REMIS REMIBASE PLUS
WINDOW BLINDS.
Please note the blinds should not be in the closed
position when the vehicle is travelling or when in
storage for extended periods.
The sunscreen is housed at the bottom and the
yscreen at the top of the blind. To open either hold
the cross bar and pull up or down. Both blinds can
be fully extended to totally cover the window or can
meet at any position to give sun shading/privacy
and protection from insects entering the vehicle.
The blinds are pre set to the correct tension.
If re tensioning is required please follow these
steps:
The blind needs to be taken down from the wall by
un screwing the 4 corner screws.
Lay the blind face down on a table with the cross
bars of both blinds meeting in the middle.
The black cords re-tension the y screen and the
white cords re-tension the sun screen.
The cords are xed at either side with a screw.
Loosen this screw and gently pull the cord 5mm
tighter and repeat on the other side ensuring the
crossbar is level.
Test the tension. This process can be repeated if
necessary.
The blinds over the kitchen sink and in the
bathroom are of a different construction and can
be re-tensioned while xed to the wall. On the side
of the cassettes are two plastic screw heads. Using
a screw driver turn these gently clockwise until the
correct tension is reached. Test the tension after
each turn.
Cleaning:
The actual plastic proles can be cleaned with a non
abrasive cleaner and damp soft cloth. The blinds
should only be dusted lightly with a soft cloth.
The blinds over the kitchen sink and in the bathroom
have a special sun screen that can be cleaned with
a non abrasive cleaner and damp cloth. The y
screens should only be dusted with a soft cloth.

Travelling
Do not travel:
• With the Antenna Raise.
• With the Antenna set for vertical signals.
• When travelling adjust the antenna so that it
points to the rear of the vehicle to reduce the
possibility of damage when travelling.
Operating
Firstly determine the approximate location of the
nearest transmitter and whether the signals are
horizontally or vertically polarised. For assistance
ask your site operator or check other antennas in
the vicinity.
1. Loosen the Mast Locking Collar and raise the
antenna. Rotate the mast to direct the Antenna
towards the TV Transmitter.
The H/V Indicator on the bottom of the mast
indicates the back of the Antenna.
2. Should you need to receive vertically polarised
signals rotate the winder, anti-clockwise to cant
the antenna through 90º.
DO NOT use undue force on the winder
3. Switch ON the Amplier and the LED will

The following are some of the key areas we suggest
you check which generally solve the most common
problems encountered with the operation of the
Status antenna.
Coaxial Connections
It is critical that all connections in the system are
fitted correctly. Using the diagrams and procedures
described over the page, please check all connectors
ensuring they are wired correctly. Secondly please
ensure only quality plugs have been used.
Coaxial Cable
Sharp bends, kinks and hot surfaces can easily damage
coaxial cable and should be avoided. Coaxial cable,
if placed in close proximity to electrical cables,
transformers or other pieces of electrical equipment,
may pick up electrical interference causing picture
quality to deteriorate, especially in poor reception
areas. Excess cable should be removed and NOT
coiled as this may cause picture distortion. An
inspection of the routing of the cable is highly
recommended to ensure all is correct.
Gain Control
In normal use the button should be rotated
clockwise for maximum. In strong signal areas the
amplification may need to be reduced. To reduce
amplification rotate the button anti-clockwise
until picture quality improves. The button rotates
through 270 degrees from MAX to MIN
LED Light
Should the LED on the Amplifier not light, firstly
check there is power to the unit. Secondly check the
polarity is correct. Otherwise contact ourselves for
further assistance.
Short Hook Up - Test 1
This test isolates the wiring from the Amplifier
through to your TV/Radio points.
Unplug the coaxial plugs from the ‘TV’ sockets of
the Amplifier and using your TV fly lead with
Convertor 1 supplied. Connect your TV to the
Amplifier.
Please ensure the Antenna Dome is plugged directly
into the ‘ANT-IN’ socket of the Amplifier and switch
on. Tune in your TV for the strongest signal.
If the picture quality improves the fault lies with the
wiring of the system between the Amplifier and the
TV outlet socket.
Short Hook Up - Test 2
This test isolates the Amplifier by connecting your
TV direct to the Antenna.
Antenna Dome Co-axial Cable
Check the routing of the coaxial cable from the
Antenna Dome to the Amplifier. Check to ensure
there are no kinks or trapped cable or if there are
loops of surplus cable which could be affecting
performance.

require assistance, please do not hesitate to

MAINTENANCE
Gaiter
We suggest you periodically check the gaiter for
any signs of damage or for wear.
If the rubber is caught by overhead obstructions it
may rip or tear which would allow water to work
its way into the fabric of the roof.
Over an extended period of time the gaiter will
wear at the contact area with the mast. Should the
gaiter begin to fail the signs will be small amounts
of water dripping down the outside of the mast,
however, the design of the Gaiter and Mounting
Foot ensures that water cannot work its way into
the fabric of the roof. Should this problem occur
contact ourselves for a replacement unit.

If the picture quality improves, the fault lies with
the Vision Plus Amplifier.
