1. GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 Scope of supply

The following items are included in the supply:

• Antenna unit

• Parabolic antenna

• Mounting plate (fitted to external unit)

• Wiring harness to external unit (coaxial cable)

• Coaxial cable (connection of satellite receiver to FeatureBox)

• FeatureBox

• Control Panel

• Power supply cable (FeatureBox)

• Fasteners package

• Operator manual

• Installation instructions

1.2 Safety precautions

Read the installation instructions carefully before you start to install the system.

Caution:

The equipment is sensitive. Never pull on the antenna arm. Do not manually lift or turn the antenna arm, as it

must only be moved via the motor. Only lift it by the plastic shield or the aluminium plate. The screws of the

housing must only be undone by the system manufacturer.

Caution:

Never reach into the area of the antenna unit while it is moving!

Information on the operation of the system on camper trailers:

The 12-V power supply provided by the power converters installed in camper trailers as standard equipment is

often not reliable enough for the operation of the satellite system. For the operation of the system with camper

trailers we recommend to use the power converter available from us.

To ensure that your satellite system works properly, it is essential that it is correctly connected to the ignition

of your vehicle (see page 12, Wiring diagram).

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

When correctly installed, the antenna automatically returns to and locks into its park position when the ignition

is switched on. If the system cannot fully or completely retract due to a fault, then it is your responsibility as ve-

hicle operator to check and make sure that the antenna is correctly and completely retracted before driving off.

The antenna retracts automatically when the ignition is switched on. Reactivating the antenna requires the

"Oyster® TV" Premium system to be rebooted (switch the system off and back on).

Road trafﬁc regulations stipulate that the vehicle operator must verify the vehicle's roadworthiness before

each use. This requires the operator to perform a visual inspection of the external unit to make sure that it is

fully retracted.

Please also note that different legal requirements apply to the operation of electrical and electronic equipment in

different countries. As the user of this equipment, you are responsible for ensuring compliance with the relevant

laws and regulations.

STOP FUNCTION VIA THE CONTROL PANEL AND ISOLATION FROM OPERATING VOLTAGE DURING SERVICE WORK

The Sat button on the control panel stops the motion of the antenna.

When servicing the antenna system, make sure that the entire system is isolated from operating voltage.

2. INSTALLATION PREPARATION

2.1. Preparation

Before starting the installation, ensure that the roof of your vehicle is sufﬁciently sturdy. Ensure that the permis-

sible roof load of your vehicle is not exceeded when installing the system and accessing the roof.

If the roof is not strong enough, or if you are in any doubt, attach a 3-mm sheet-metal panel of 100 x 100 cm to

the outer skin of the roof to improve stability. Check with the vehicle manufacturer.

Make sure that there is enough space for the system when it is folded down and for the action radius (pivoting

radius).

Note that the direction of travel must be observed when mounting the system (see pictures on the following

pages). The system must retract toward the rear end of the vehicle, and the wiring connection of the system must

point toward the rear end of the vehicle.

3. INSTALLATION

Attaching the mounting plate

Once you have determined the ﬁnal installation position of the system and you have checked again that it is

correctly positioned in relation to the direction of travel (system retracting towards the rear of the vehicle, cable

outlet pointing towards the rear of the vehicle), mark the corner points of the mounting plate.

Next, undo the four retaining nuts and lift the system off the mounting plate. The mounting plate is bonded to

the roof of the vehicle using commercially available highly adhesive body sealing compound and is then secured

by screws, if required. Please use a special cleaning agent to clean the mounting plate and roof as recommended

by the manufacturer of the body sealing compound (e.g. Sikaﬂex, Teroson 1K-Pur, Würth 'Klebt und Dichtet').

Once the cleaner has dried off, apply the sealing compound to the underside of the mounting plate. Fit the

mounting plate to the roof. If required, secure additionally with the self-tapping screws provided (see drawing).

Take note of the manufacturer’s instructions regarding processing and curing of the adhesive sealing compound

before moving the vehicle! If these times cannot be observed for any reason, the mounting must be additionally

secured by screws.

3.2 Mounting the external unit

Place the external unit on the mounting plate with the connector housing and the cable outlet of the external

unit pointing towards the rear of the vehicle. Install the 4 nuts and attach the small covers. An installation in any

other position is not permitted and will cause the warranty to be invalidated. If the mounting plate is positioned

correctly, the wiring outlet must point towards the rear of the vehicle.

ATTACHING THE THREADED ELBOW FITTING (CABLE FEED-THROUGH)

The threaded elbow ﬁtting on the roof must be located with the cable inlet pointing to the rear of the

vehicle, thus protecting it against splash water.

To make the routing of the cables inside the vehicle easier, the distance between the elbow ﬁtting and the con-

trol panel and the receiver should be as short as possible.

3. INSTALLATION

a) Fabricate a hole of 20 to 30 mm in diameter in the roof for the wiring feed-through.

Threaded elbow

20-30 mm

b) Route the wiring tidily on the roof of the vehicle e.g. using a piece of wiring trunking and guide the wiring

coming out of the threaded elbow ﬁtting downwards to the control panel.

c) The small mounting plate of the threaded elbow ﬁtting is bonded to the roof of the vehicle using commercially

available body sealing compound and is then secured to the roof with screws. Please use a special cleaning

agent to clean the mounting plate and roof as recommended by the manufacturer of a highly adhesive body

sealing compound (e.g. Sikaﬂex, Teroson 1K-Pur, Würth 'Klebt und Dichtet'). Once the cleaner has dried off,

apply the sealing compound to the underside of the mounting plate. After ﬁtting the mounting plate, secure

it to the roof using the 4 supplied self-tapping screws.

Do not tighten the union nut of the elbow ﬁtting before having adjusted the length of the cable on the roof.

d) Apply sealing compound all around the lower edge of the threaded elbow ﬁtting and the self-tapping screws.

e) The cable can be coiled up inside the vehicle if it is too long.

Check the cable inlet, the self-tapping screws and the foot of the threaded elbow ﬁtting for leaks.
