Intelligent Satellite Receiver System for Motor Homes and Caravans Operating Instructions GB
Important Notes: Please read these operating instructions before installation and start-up of your AutoSat2. Always make sure (even when your AutoSat2 will be retracted by your starter key, see chapter 4.2 Power Supply) that the system has really retracted when starting your vehicle. In case of interrupted supply voltage, for instance, the aerial can no longer be automatically retracted.

I. Assembly Instructions !!! Note Please read these assembly instructions before commencing installation! 1.0 Scope of Supply 1 Receiver with integrated motor control and IR remote control 1 External unit and satellite aerial (dish or flat aerial) 1 Connecting cable for power supply, 1 m length 1 12-way connector housing 1 Assembly material for satellite aerial self-tapping screws 3.9x25 1 Junction box 1 Support block for dish aerial or sealing cap (Waterlock) for plug of flat aerial 2.
2.2 External Unit When selecting the installation site, please notice that cables to the external unit are 4 (6) m long and ensure that the external unit will have a sufficient clearance for rotation. Flat aerial: The AutoSat2 (50 cm flat aerial) has a base of 41.5 x 41.5 cm and in search mode will require a maximum radius of 25 cm for objects of up to 15 cm height. For higher objects, a radius of 45 cm will have to be reserved. Dish aerial The AutoSat2S (85 cm dish) has a base of 41.5 x 41.
3.0 Mounting the External Unit Proceed in the following sequence Use Sikaflex-252 as an adhesive/sealant 1. Position external unit with the outgoing cable pointing towards the rear of the vehicle. 2. Drill 2 diagonal holes from the base plate of the external unit by using a 2.4 mm drill. 3. Fix external unit by two self-tapping screws of 3.9 x 25 to the roof. Lightly tighten screws. The aluminium coating of the roof is thin and the screws may be easily tightened too hard. Then drill remaining holes.
4.0 Cable Connection to AutoSat2 Receiver 4.1 External Unit Lay cables from external unit to receiver. Cables may not rub against sharp edges or be laid close to heat sources. Ensure prior to engaging contacts in connector housing that contacts are in faultless condition and not bent. In particular, contact blades must not have excessive spacings. Engage contacts in connector housing to the following sketch.
4.2 Power Supply Proceed in accordance with wiring diagram on following page. Connect short 3core connecting cable supplied by a suitable connector to your 12 V vehicle mains. For a 24 V vehicle mains, a 24V/12V transformer will be required. Use a cable section of min. 4 mm2 for voltage supply to keep cable losses to a minimum. The AutoSat2 should ideally be directly connected to the battery by a dedicated supply cable. Ensure that no other major users are connected to the same supply cable.

A.3 Faults and Remedies Fault Remedies No satellite found 1) Check whether sight is free in southerly direction. There will be no reception under trees! 2) There is no transmission on your selected station, try another station for search. 3) Whilst moving about in marginal European areas: for searching switch to a station, which can be positively found. 4) Check aerial cable to external unit (firm attachment of connector, cable break) 1) Check connection to TV set.
