6 Mounting instructions
6.1 Choice of installation site
Initially choose sites for positioning the control unit and your receiver. Unless the control unit
has a remote control option, it should be mounted, so that its display can be read and the
buttons can be operated. The receiver should be as close to your TV set as possible and be
seen from where you sit, since the receiver is controlled by an IR remote control. If the
receiver has a remote infra red detector, the receiver may be hidden.
6.2 External unit
Flat aerial
The AutoSat2F (50 cm-flat aerial) has a base of 41.5 x 41.5 cm and requires a maximum
radius of 25 cm for objects up to 15 cm high in search mode. For higher objects, a radius of
45 cm must be kept clear.
Dish aerial
The AutoSat2S (85 cm dish) has a base of 41.5 x 41.5 cm and requires a free area of 45 cm
radius in search mode, because the LNB will be rotating just above the roof in high latitudes.
The space requirement in the stationary position is shown in the following sketch:
Very important: The external unit must be mounted on the vehicle roof with the aerial
retracted in a direction opposite to the driving direction, as otherwise one cannot rule out
that the aerial will be blown up by wind during high-speed driving.
!!! Note:
Please read the mounting instructions before starting the installation
Please keep the following in mind:
- ensure sufficient ventilation for the control unit and the receiver
- avoid additional sources of heat in the mounting location
- ensure that the cables from the roof to the control unit fit.
- ensure that the cable from the control unit to the receiver fits.
- ensure that the cable from the receiver to the TV set fits.
When choosing the mounting location, keep in mind, that the cables to the external
unit are 4 m long and that the external unit must have sufficient free space to turn.
