► When extending the antenna cable, use a 75 coaxial cable with a screening factor of at least 75 dB. ► We recommend an extension cable that has at least the electrical characteristics of the Kathrein cable LCD 89! 8 / 44...
Material damage due to reversed polarity! When connecting the power cables, reversed polarity can lead to thermal overload and damage to compo- nents when the equipment is powered up. ► Never reverse the poles of the power cables used to connect the CAP converter and the turntable to the vehicle electrical system.
Installation and Connection For more information on mounting, see Installing and Connecting the Turntable, p. 40. Installing and Connecting the Turntable Required Tools and Equipment ● Circular drill, Ø 38 mm ● Open-ended or ring spanners, 10 and 11 mm across fl...
Installing the Turntable Selecting the Installation Site The cable lengths of the supplied components and parts allow free choice of the installation location on the caravan or motor home. Observe the following points when selecting the installation location: ► Before installation, fi nd out whether the operating manual for your vehicle permits the installation of non-vehicle- specifi...

Elevation 45° Elevation max.65° Direction of travel Park position Shading due to nearby attachments on the vehicle roof may impede satellite reception! Area around the turntable Recommended clearance within which objects up to 170 mm high may be attached (radius min. 907.5 mm) to the roof (min.
Installing the Cable Gland Underneath the Turntable If you have 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. There is no need to enlarge this hole, as the roof gland also requires a borehole of 38 mm diameter.
Page 14
The mounting plate should always be screwed and glued on. Alternatively, having a certifi ed specialist dealer glue on the mounting plate professionally may eliminate the need for screwing it on. 1. Place the mounting plate on the roof of the vehicle so that the centre hole is aligned centrically to the cable gland. The arrow symbol must be visible from above and point forwards in the direction of travel (see Aligning the moun- ting plate, p.
Cable Gland Underneath the Turntable 1. Feed the ends of the cables with the connectors as far as possible through the cable gland into the interior of the vehicle. 2. Lift the turntable and carefully place it on the mounting plate in the direction of travel (see Cable gland under- neath, p.
Mounting the LNB Arm Support To ensure that the LNB arm is securely fi xed and that no vibrations can occur during travel, the LNB arm is seated on a support. 1. Select a mounting location for the support (see distances in Mounting the LNB arm support, p.
Malfunction and material damage due to reversed polarity! When connecting the power cables, reversed polarity can lead to thermal overload and damage to compo- nents when the equipment is powered up. If the earth (-) of the ignition signal and the earth (-) of the vehicle battery for the turntable do not have the same potential, the automatic lowering of the turntable will not work! ►...
Reception Range/Footprint The footprint is the reception area on earth which the satellite covers with its transmission beam (spot) and in which satellite reception is possible. The transmission power is at its highest in the centre of this spot – it becomes progressi- vely weaker towards the edges.
Polarisation Setting Polarisation Setting Explained The LNB of the turntable is factory-set to the polarisation setting 0. In this position, you can still receive signals from satellites with deviations of 15° to 20° . For larger deviations it may be useful to set the required polarisation angle by rotating the LNB.
Safety Instructions Observe the Safety Instructions and General Notes, p. 7. Risk of material damage due to obstacles in the range of rotation or malfunction due to incorrect setting! ► Make sure that there are no obstacles in the range of rotation of the turntable. ►...
What to Do in the Event of Faults Removing the Turntable for Repair If repairs to the system or individual components are necessary, contact your specialist dealer or our service centre. Risk of injury from opening the turntable! ► Never open the turntable. Material damage to the unit by cutting cables! ►...
Manually Lowering the Turntable to the Parking Position Risk of material damage due to a defect in the electronic controls! In the event of a defect in the electronic control system, the turntable cannot automatically move to the parking position. After some disassembly work, the turntable can be manually folded into the park position. Before manually folding in the turntable, note the following: ►...
Fold the antenna into the parking position. 4. Remove the M12 screw. → The rocker can be put back on the tapered shaft. 5. Screw the M8 screw back in and tighten it. 6. Insert the plastic cap. Rocker displacement Loosening the rocker from the tapered shaft changes the zero position of the rocker.
Important Information In the following operating instructions, we assume that the CAP converter and the turntable have been properly installed and connected. If you have not already done so, read the safety instructions in this installation and operating manual and observe them when handling the CAP converter and the turntable! Your location has a clear view of the satellite positions to the south and is not shaded by trees or other obstacles (see Correct location of caravan/motor home, p.
