AUTOSAT 2 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS PAGE 5
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 41.5 cm and in search mode
will require a free area of 45 cm radius, due to the LNB, for instance, rotating
just above the roof in Northern Europe. In stationary position, the space
required is shown in the following sketch:

Driving direction
Now find sufficient free space on your roof around the cable gland. The direct
vicinity of the site selected must be free from high objects (exceeding 20 cm),
which might shadow the aerial.
When this installation site has been found, once again make sure whether the
receiver is within a cable length of 4 (6) m. If not, relocate the installation site or
the receiver or extend the cable by an additional extension set (obtainable from
us).
!!! Note:
Mount and secure the external unit in such a way that detachment or falling
down of the unit is impossible. For sandwich roofs not offering adequate
facilities for assembly, a through-screw and an internal doubler plate is
recommended.
In case of doubt consult the maker of your vehicle.
