CONGRATULATIONS Dear Customer, Congratulations on your choice of the CA-SAT CARATEC by CALEARO parabolic satellite antenna, an innovative and technologically advanced system for the static reception of TV signals from satellites. This automatic tracking antenna, made from top quality components...
WARNINGS Using the manual Correct operation of the system We suggest that you carefully read this manual For safe installation of the system and the correct performances of all the functions of the product, you before installing and using the CA-SAT antenna and must adhere strictly to the instructions in this manual.
WARNINGS Cautions General safety rules • do not modify the system by eliminating or adding ExTErnal UnIT any component. • Working area • do not use any other parabolic dish or LNB converter apart from the ones supplied. Before operating the external unit and opening the parabolic antenna, ensure that the entire working • in order to guarantee the correct functioning of the area of the antenna is free from any obstacle which...
Before proceeding with the installation, check the integrity of the parabolic antenna and the presence of all accessories indicated in the instruction manual. CARATEC by Calearo is not liable for damage caused by the transport or the lack of components in the package after the installation.
THE SYSTEM Components of the system Diagram ExTERNAL UNIT ExTErnal UnIT The external unit, to be installed on the roof of the vehicle, includes the motor assembly with the automatic tracking system, the parabolic reflector and Control cable the LNB (Low Noise Block) converter. Power supply, satellite signal and control unit commands go through the connection cable.
EXTERNAL UNIT INSTALLATION available models External unit The new range of motorised satellite antennas by CARATEC by Calearo are technologically innovative arefully read all safety regulations and have an advanced design. There are two sizes, failure to observe the general safety Ø...

EXTERNAL UNIT INSTALLATION 2. Choosing the mounting point • all elements in the roof (e.g. climate controls, liftable roofs, roof bars etc.), which can interfere Choose the mounting point on the vehicle roof with the functioning of the external unit while (possibly on one side of the roof) by taking care that: moving, are out of the movement area of the antenna (fig. 4).

DAILY USE Signal reception 1. Switching on the system Press and hold the [ON/OFF] button until a beep starts The signals from the main satellites, available in and the yellow LED lights up. Europe, approximately come from a southerly direction. Please be sure that no obstacles are between the antenna and the satellites (e.g.: buildings, mountains, trees, etc..), in that case the antenna will not be able to correctly point to the satellite in order to...

ADJUST SKEW ANGLE Satellites transmit signals on two (horizontal and 0° vertical) polarisations which are orthogonal between each other. In order to optimise signal reception, the receiving element Converter/LNB, which is mounted on the parabolic antenna, must be positioned to be perfectly aligned with the transmitted signals.
SATELLITE COVERAGE AREA In the diagrams you can see some satellites which To be sure that the system works correctly, check that: can be received in Europe. The coverage areas The signal of the desired satellite covers the area (Footprint) are indicated, within which you can receive where you are.
TROUBLESHOOTING If a malfunction occurs in your satellite reception system, it is important that you quickly check the cause and find a solution. the table below shows the most common malfunction cases with their possible solutions. Problem Cause Solution The fuse has burnt. Replace the fuse with a new one. Wrong cable wiring.
ERROR MESSAGES Temperature error: In case of an error, the system will show the following error messages on the screen: Over temperature Communication errors: Device 12 error The motor temperature is too high because the external temperature is too high (e.g. strong sunlight on the external unit) or because of a motor malfunction. the control unit isn’t allowing the motor Device 21 error...
EMERGENCY DISASSEMBLY In the case of a failure of the electronic control, in remove the reflector unit from its seat q (fig. 18). order to avoid moving the vehicle with the open antenna, you can remove the dish and manually bring the LNB holding arm to the rest position (horizontal) with a few simple disassembly operations.
Dear Customer, above, or because the fault is not strictly due to an original flaw in the system, CArAtEC by Calearo Congratulations on your choice of the CA-SAT has complete autonomy over the action to be taken.
