Important notice!
Safety instructions
The conversion set must only be used for the modi-
fication of the flat antennas BAS 60 and BAS 61. The
conversion set changes the flat antenna BAS 60 to a
BAS 62 and the flat antenna BAS 61 to a BAS 63
(see opposite illustration). After the modification, the
mobile antennas BAS 60/BAS 61 are stationary anten-
nas BAS 62/BAS 63.
These instructions for the conversion of your antenna assume that you have the
skill and knowledge required for a correct rnodification. lf you do not have the
needed qualities, ask a specialist to do the job for you.
The modification work on the roof of your caravan, mobile home or truck can
create problems for your safety and life. Kathrein does not assume any responsi-
bility for damages to people and goods.
Park the vehicle in a safe place where you are not exposed to dangers (e.g. from
motor cars passing by) in order to carry out the conversion work.
Switch off the ignition and pull the handbrake. Only step on the roof of the vehicle
after having secured the working place.
Ladders or other climbing aids must be in perfect condition. Wear non-slip shoes.
The conversion set is composed of the preassembled
antenna support and 4 washers (see illustration oppo-
site). The modification instructions and the 12-page
mounting instructions „Flat antennas for stationary use,
BAS 62 and BAS 63“ are in the scope of supply of the
conversion set.
The conversion set for BAS 60/BAS 61 enables you to convert your mobile flat
antenna to a stationary antenna. The use determination (purpose) of your
antenna will also change. After the rnodification has been effected, the antennas
are identical with the flat antennas BAS 62 or BAS 63. These are flat antennas for
stationary use. The instructions for the „Conversion set“ are complemented by the
12-page brochure „Mounting instructions“ supplied together with the flat antennas
BAS 62/BAS 63.
The rnounting instructions contain important information regarding the stationary
use, the installation, the mounting site and the safety of your flat antenna. lt is
absolutely necessary that you pay attention to these instructions.
Do not separate the modification instructions from the mounting instructions. In
case you sell the antenna, both instructions should be handed over to the new
owner.

Conversion
• Loosen the two milled screws of the LNB cover.
Remove the cover and place it within reach.
• Loosen the two hex. socket head screws of the
mast bracket by means of an Allen key.
• Push the antenna cable somewhat backwards in
order to be long enough for the removal of the flat
antenna.
• Do not pull the cable through the mast into the
interior of the vehicle. lt is impossible to pull the
cable out again.
• Use both hands to remove the antenna from the
joint of the mast. Place the antenna with its back
pointing upwards on a solid non-slip support.
The LNB of the flat antenna BAS 61 has two outputs.
The LNB of the flat antenna BAS 60 has only one
antenna output.
The mobile antenna support of the flat antenna is
fastened on the back of the antenna with 4 hex.
socket head screws.
• Unscrew the 4 hex. socket head screws from
the mobile antenna support. Keep the screws in
a safe place because they will be needed again
for fastening the new antenna support.
• Now place the mobile antenna support on the joint
of the mast and tighten the mast bracket with the
aid of an Allen key.
• Unscrew the cable from the LNB and pull it out of
the cable support on the LNB.
• Then screw the LNB cover again to the flat
antenna. This will protect the LNB during the
transport of the flat antenna.

lf you wish to drive with your vehicle without the flat
antenna mounted, but the jointed mast still installed,
you should protect the antenna as shown in opposite
illustration.
• Care for adequate insulation or sealing of the
antenna plug. Protect the plug from moisture.
• Bend the antenna cable to the form of a loop and
introduce the end of the cable into the joint of the
mast until the plug has disappeared in the lower
part of the joint.
Then check if the mobile antenna support is well
fixed. lf necessary, tighten the two socket head
screws of the bracket.
• Place the flat antenna evenly on an appropriate
support.
• Place the washers on the socket head screws and
screw the antenna support to the back of the flat
antenna (see opposite illustration). Use for that
purpose the 4 socket head screws belonging to
the mobile antenna support.
• Now screw in with your fingers the 4 socket head
screws. Pay attention that they are not twisted and
damage the thread.
• When positioning the antenna support, make sure
that the socket head screws are positioned exactly
in the middle of the elongated holes. Then take the
short shaft of an Allen key in your hand and screw
the socket head screws tight. See opposite
illustration.
• Then tighten the socket head screws with a torque
spanner. The torque moment is 6.5 Nm. lf no
torque spanner is available, the following method
will do: Take the long shaft of the Allen key in your
hand and tighten the socket head screws giving an
1/4 to an 1/2 turn.
6. Notice regarding the polarisation setting
The polarisation setting is dependent on the geo-
graphic reception site. The annexed mounting
instructions „Flat antennas BAS 62 and BAS 63
for stationary use“ explain on page 4 how the
polarisation is set.
