Page 6: Intended Use
Intended Use Intended Use The CAP 750 GPS and CTS 750-xx GPS are designed to receive digital TV and radio channels via satellite. The automatic positioner is intended to be used as a turntable for the Kathrein parabolic reflector. The turntable can be used to receive digital TV and radio signals in the frequency range from from 10.70 to 12.75 GHz; the antenna cannot receive terrestrial signals such as DVB-T/DVB-T2. -

5.1.4 Installing the Cable Gland and Mounting Plate 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. Fig. A Fig. B ①... - Page 16 Installation and Connection 7. Create the holes necessary to secure the mounting plate (Fig. C). 8. In addition to the screwed connection, the mounting plate and roof duct must be bonded to the roof with adhesive and sealed. This is done using an adhesive sealant (e.g. DEKAsyl MS adhesive sealant), which is ideally suited for this purpose due to its broad range of adhesion.

– Use a clean colourless cloth to remove any adhesive sealant that leaks out at the sides. Pay attention to the following: ~ Do not use any cleaning agents or thinners containing solvents, as this could damage the adhesive sealant applied under the mounting plate. - Page 18 Installation and Connection Version with external cable gland The external roof duct is arranged such that it forms a watertight enclosure on the vehicle roof around the point where the three cables projecting from the turntable are connected to the two extension cables within the interior of the vehicle, and where if necessary they can be disconnected (see Fig.

Page 20: Laying The Cables And Connecting The Turntable
● Connect the master coaxial cable to the IF INPUT socket at the rear of the master control unit (alphatronics SL TV set (with Kathrein control) or CAP converter). If necessary, use the coaxial extension cable. ● Make sure that each live cable leading to the individual units is sufficiently fuse-protected and was installed by an expert. -
Page 21: Functional Instructions For Connection To The On-Board Power Supply
● At the connecting point for the power cable, the voltage must not fall below 11.5 V even with a higher load. Otherwise optimum functioning can no longer be guaranteed. ● Only for motor homes: The third, green core of the connecting cable, marked “IGNITION”, allows the connection to a circuit in the vehicle that is activated when the ignition key is turned and then carries a continuous 12 V supply voltage. -
