Mounting instructions

Seal also the edges of the assembly plate, as displayed in the following figure.
6.4. Mounting of the external system
Connect the cable set to the external unit. The cable can be plugged in the proper connector using
the dedicated space in the lower part of the unit. After this, insert the cable in the small recess on
the base of the plate and mount the external unit on the assembly plate, centering it on prisoners
and fixing with the four M8 nuts and the related washers. When finished cover the nuts with the
related covers. If the plate has been mounted correctly, now the LNB points exactly to the rear of
the vehicle.
6.5. Passing the cables through the roof
To pass the cables through the roof use, if available, the system adopted by the manufacturer of
the caravan. If no default manufacturers’ system is available, install a cable through (available in
package) with a diameter of at least 25mm.
Block the cable between the external unit and the cable through, in order to avoid movements that
can cause cable wear or break.
Check carefully the point where cable pass through the roof and the strength of the
blocking screws, if used.
6.6. Cable installation inside the caravan
a) Lead the cables coming from the external unit toward the control unit
b) Take care to cable fixing, in order to avoid oscillations - when the caravan is in motion. Such
oscillations could damage or broke internal wires; along the route to the control unit fix the cable
to the caravan walls using a commercially available cable fixing system.
c) If the cable is too long, coil it up near the control unit, fixing it in an appropriate way.
6.7. Power supply
Provide a sufficient power to the system.
a) The system must powered by a 12V power supply
b) Connect the power cable directly to battery terminals, avoiding to use a cable that powers
another utility. Often the cable section is not sufficient, to supply the original device (e.g. the
television set) plus the new one. In these conditions the voltage that feeds the unit could not be
sufficient. If this procedure is not applied the system could be damaged or not work in the
appropriate way.
c) The supply cable must have a section of at least 2.5mm
2
. For distances of 6mt or more, cable
section must be at least 4.0mm

d) The ideal solution is to install a new dedicated power line. The protection fuse that must be
installed on this line should be between 10A and 15A.
