For correct operations, please take care to have a “free view toward South”, because the most
of TV satellites that covers central Europe are positioned in South direction. If there’s an
obstacle (building, mountain, tree, etc) between the caravan and the South line, it will be not
possible for the system to receive correctly to the satellite signal.
1.2. General notes
General notes regarding the usage of the system:
• Base operations have been developed in such a way that power on and satellite search
will be performed simply switching on the unit.
• The system manages three satellites. Default configuration consist of Hot Bird , Astra 1
and Atlantic Bird 3. In case you need another satellite (the complete list is available in
Chap. 3.1) please contact the installation personnel.
• The system automatically saves the last used satellite and the geographical sector
setting, if selected.
• It is possible to interrupt in any moment the automatic satellite search function, simply
pressing any key of the Control Panel.
• System goes automatically in stand-by 5 minutes after having pressed the last key. To
exit the stand-by status press any key. During stand-by phase the typical system
absorption is only 5mA.
• System beeper issues three different signals;
 A “low” signal issued for three seconds, at the end of the automatic satellite search
function
 A “high” signal, issued during the closing procedure of the antenna. This signal will
be stopped only when the antenna is completely closed
 A “short” signal every time a Control Panel key is pressed
