  • Page 8 Safety Instructions – Important Notes Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO) The applicable regulations of the German StVZO must be observed in respect of fixed installation of the turn- table on a vehicle which is driven on public highways. In particular, Articles 19/2; 30 C; 32 (2) and EC directive 74/483 EEC are applicable. Briefly, they state that no endorsement of the vehicle documentation is required unless the antenna unit causes the height of the laden vehicle to exceed 2 m, or the antenna unit projects beyond the outer lat- eral outline of the vehicle. The maximum permissible height of 4 m (vehicle and antenna unit) may not be exceeded.
  • Page 9 cannot be disconnected by intermediate switches, as this could deactivate the automatic lowering function. Important The antenna is lowered approx. 5 seconds after the ignition circuit is turned on!. Precondi- tions: The TV set is in standby mode, the receiver has been switched off, the power supply to the turntable has not been cut off. Otherwise the control unit that is in use is lowered immediately. Lowering the antenna can take up to 30 seconds (after the ignition is switched on)! Checks before commencing a journey...

  • Page 11: Selecting The Installation Location

    Selecting the Installation Location Essentially, the cable lengths of the MobiSet 4 CAP 920 components allow you a free choice of installation location on your caravan or motor home. However, you should take note of the following points: ● Before installation, you should find out whether the operating manual for your vehicle permits the fitting of non-vehicle-specific parts or what requirements need to be met in order to do so.
  • Page 12: Installation Steps

    5.4.1 Installation of the cable gland and mounting plate Note If you had previously used a Kathrein HDM 140/141 jointed tripod mast or another mast with a diameter of 34 mm, you can continue using the existing through hole in the roof (if space allows). ● In the centre of the intended position of the turntable, drill the opening for the cable gland with a circular cutter (Ø 38 mm). Deburr the hole with a round file or emery paper.
  • Page 13 ● If the roof panel material is very thin and does not provide adequate holding power within the insulation material , through holes (Ø 5,5 mm) into the interior of the vehicle are required and galvanised M5 round head screws of sufficient length must be used. Make sure that you use a sufficiently strong support that can withstand the bolt tensile forces (large plain washer or a complete reinforcing plate).
  • Page 14 Installation and connection ● Apply the adhesive sealant evenly to the underside of the mounting plate, completely covering the area within the circular groove (Fig. D). This area of the vehicle roof must be completely coated with adhesive in order to achieve the necessary bonding force.
  • Page 15 plate. ● Allow the turntable to rest on the front edge of the mounting plate. Keep the turntable supported at an angle (see Fig. E1) and insert a suitable piece of wood underneath it. ● Now lay and connect the turntable cables in the mounting plate (as indicated on the mounting plate, see Fig. E1). Take particular care that the two master coaxial cables, marked red, are connected to each other. Initially tighten the coaxial cable plugs finger-tight, using no tools, then tighten them lightly using an open-ended 11 AF spanner.
  • Page 16 Installation and connection ● To prevent water vapour from inside the vehicle reaching the turntable through the roof gland, thread the three cables through the sealing gasket supplied (see Fig. E2), close the gasket and insert it into the roof gland until it reaches the stop.

    Brief instructions for installing the turntable Note The sequence of pictures shown illustrates all the necessary installation steps that are required to install the turntable and the preassembled parabolic reflector on the roof of the vehicle. The other detailed instructions in this installation and operating manual must also be followed! 2. Apply Sikaflex ® 1. Montageort festlegen. 291i adhesive to the spigot of the roof duct. Insert the spigot into the hole and secure it from below with the knurled nut.

    Installation and connection Installation of the UFS 946/CI+ 5.6.1 Selection of a suitable installation location Note When choosing the installation location, bear in mind that the rear of the unit should always be accessible. The UFS 946/CI+ is equipped with a power saving circuit and a separate infrared transmitter, which means that the unit does not need to be placed where it is visible. You can therefore fit the UFS 946/CI+ out of sight in any location, e.g.
  • Page 21 Connections and fusing of the unit All connection cables for connection to the receiver (including the infra-red sensor) are connected at the rear of the unit (see also “Connection example” in this section). When selecting the installation location, allow suf- ficient clearance at the rear of the unit for these cables and their plugs. On the left hand side of the receiver viewed from the front there is a fuse inserted from the outside. This fuse (for the type, see the section “Important Information” in the receiver operating manual) should be accessible even after the unit has been installed, so that it can easily be exchanged if required. 5.6.2 Preparations Attaching the infrared sensor You can attach the infra-red sensor directly to the unit; or if the receiver is installed in a concealed location, you should position the infra-red sensor where it can be clearly seen by the remote control unit.

Place the two mounting pieces on your  receiver as shown in Figures 1–3. During the process the following should be taken into account: Left (L) and Right (R) markings (see...
  • Page 23 Installation on a fixed flat surface 5.6.5 So as to prevent the receiver slipping or falling, the installation kit can also be attached to the under- side of the receiver. Assembly is the same as for suspended installation, except that the mounting kit is attached to the underside of the receiver. 5.6.6 Laying the cables and connecting the turntable • Lay the master coaxial cable (marked red) to the UFS 946/CI+ and the second coaxial cable to the sec-...
  • Page 24 Installation and connection Warning Danger of cable fires. Never bypass the fuses in the cable and in the receiver ● At the connecting point for the power cable, the voltage must not fall below 11.5 V even with a load of 12 A. Otherwise optimum functioning can no longer be guaranteed. ● Connect the power cable to the respective socket in your motor home or caravan (12 V or 230 V). Only for connection in a motor home, not in a caravan! ● The third, green connecting cable, marked “IGNITION” allows you the option of connection to a circuit in the vehicle that is activated when the ignition key is turned and then carries a continuous 12 V supply. This type of connection ensures that when the engine is started the antenna is automatically lowered into the park position (the receiver does not need to be turned on).
  • Page 25 Connection example for 12 V battery connection 5.6.9 Figure: G Important For operation with two batteries, it is necessary to ensure that the ignition signal earth has the same potential as the power supply bat- tery earth for the turntable. Non- compliance means that the auto- matic lowering function will not work! Ensure the cable polarity is correct!
  • Page 26: Reception Range / Footprint

    Reception range / footprint The footprint is the reception area on the earth that a satellite covers with its transmission beam (spot), within which satellite reception is possible. The transmission power is at its greatest in the centre of this spot – it becomes progressively weaker moving outwards.

  • Page 28: Polarisation Setting

    Polarisation setting Polarisation setting The polarisations setting is required to compensate for the so-called skew. The skew is the discrepancy between the vertical polarisation of the received signal from the geographical verticals. For optimal recep- tion the LNB must be installed before the satellite disk, inclined by the skew angle. The CAP 920 calculates the skew angle on the basis of the GPS data and inclines the LNB fully automati- cally.

    Alignment (satellite search) The antenna is aligned automatically. After the UFS 946/CI+has been switched on, the turntable automati- cally moves to the last channel received and the associated satellite position (e.g. ARD/ASTRA). This works because each satellite is automatically recognised by the turntable. The satellite search is started when you select a channel.
