- Page 2 Vansat Raven Specifications Power – DC 12 > 24V Current – Typically 1 amp during normal operation and 4 amp temporary for search (search time varies but is normally 1 > 2 minutes after power on) LNB Type – KU Band. High Gain Dual Polarity (V/H), TWIN OUTPUT &...
- Page 3 Satellite DVBS1 and DVBS2 Compliant Roof Space Required – Refer to the Below Figure. To Calculate for Maximum Elevation (how far back the dish will pivot at the northern tip of Queensland) measure outwards a distance of 30cm from each side of the Mounting plate.
- Page 4 VANSAT RAVEN WIRING DIAGRAM Wiring Diagram – All cables and connectors are supplied with the Raven system and are factory fitted with plugs and sockets. The Rooftop Assembly sources its power via a Loom connecting to the Dish Control Unit.
- Page 5 ROOFTOP MECHANISM INSTALLATION Safety First – Have you read and understood our Safety Warnings on Page 5 ?? Pick an area anywhere on the roof of your mobile home that will allow the unit to be mounted as flat and level as possible with good support that will permit the dish, once fitted and raised, to have a full 360 degree rotation and elevation range.
- Page 6 Mark and drill the four bolt holes. The assembly should be positioned over ceiling battens. Apply a generous amount of the supplied adhesive to the underside of the base, remembering to also apply in and around the bolt holes. You have two options of attaching the unit.
- Page 7 Apply adhesive to bottom of the stop and affix to the roof using the supplied stainless screws (cover the tops of the screws also with adhesive). Bump Stop fitted at the end (top) of the satellite dish The completed job should resemble the below (except yours will have adhesive on the bolts and screw heads of course).
- Page 8 Cable Entry and Wiring Configuration Position the Junction box as far away from the revolving mechanism (dome) as needed to ensure the cable will not foul as the unit rotates. Some thought should be given to positioning the junction box over an internal cavity like a cupboard.
- Page 9 If the 3.5M dome cable is long enough to reach the MOTOSAT control unit without using the included 5M extension cable please skip this step: If using the supplied 5M extension cable ensure that when joining the two Coax Cables that plugs are not allowed to twist as...
- Page 10 INTERNAL MOTOSAT CONTROL UNIT INSTALLATION The control unit can either be flush mounted to a cupboard wall (on its side or upside down is also fine) or simply left free standing. Do not however block the ventilation holes. Screw either one of the two signal coax cables coming from the roof (does not matter which one) to the rear of the MOTOSAT control unit at the point marked ANT IN.
- Page 11 NOTE: Why thick cable? The power consumption is very low in normal operation but during the search (typically 1-2 minutes) the current draw is around 4 amps. If you use light power cable the unit will search slower and may even stall with an ERR message on the display. Low battery voltage will also cause this.
- Page 12 System Remote Control Pressing the SAT button will allow you to specify which satellite you wish to view (hint – 99% of people want C1/D3 for VAST & PayTV services): Reception of the following FOUR Satellites is possible in most areas of Australia: Optus C1/D3 (VAST &...
- Page 13 The following two satellites may only be visible over the eastern side of Australia and reception will be difficult in many areas:- Asiasat 4 NSS6 (channels, satellites, broadcaster and/or government policy changes, products, platform changes affecting service availability now and in the future are beyond the control of VANSAT) The initial search time may take as long as 20 minutes before the satellite locks and a picture appears BUT subsequent searches will be much...
