Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Maxview declines all responsibility in the event of incident or accident if they are due to a non observation of the installation instructions or the way the product is used.
INSTALLATION Application Example A. Antenna The Antenna is mounted to the roof. It uses electric motors to scan for satellite signals. The single variant has 2 cable connections; 1 for controlling the motors and 1 satellite signal cable from the single LNB. B.
> Check for electrical cables beneath screw fixing points > Check Antenna Unit cables will reach Control Box (Maxview can supply extended cables). > Do not allow the dish to overhang the edge of the vehicle > Clearance around antenna system when in use is shown with reference...
Attaching Antenna Mount Plate & LNB Park Plate Remove Antenna Unit from wooden transit packaging Remove mounting plate from Antenna Unit by removing 6 x M6 nuts using 10mm spanner Clean roof, Mounting Plate and LNB Park Plate in accordance with adhesive manufacturer’s guidelines Mark a centre line for the antenna making sure dish will not overhang vehicle Align notches on plate with centre line Mark the position of 6 screw fixing holes...
Electrical Installation Whilst the adhesive is curing prepare the electrical connections for the Control Box. The Control Box requires a permanent 12V supply and a secondary 12V supply that provides power when the engine of the vehicle is running. Note: the brake light circuit is not suitable. It is recommended to create a new circuit direct to the battery using a minimum cable cross sectional area of 2.5mm and an inline fuse of 5A.
Attach Antenna Unit to Mounting Plate Carefully lower the Antenna Unit onto the Mounting Plate and re-attach the M6 Nuts and Washers that were previously removed. Note: LNB image shows different model. Caution: Replace Nylon locking nuts if they have been removed more than twice. The locking action of the Nylon becomes less effective if repeatedly assembled and disassembled.
Installing Cable Entry Cover Cable Plan your installation carefully Drill a 32mmø hole in roof Prepare surface for adhesion Hole location Apply sealant as shown in A,B,C tabs (we recommend Sikaflex-512 Caravan)* Top hat Position top hat Position cable entry cover Wipe excess sealant with a dry cloth Vehicle roof Applying sealant example:...

Skew adjustment: The LNB Skew has been set at a factory default position as per image below. This is optimised for the Optus D1 satellite and will allow good signal strength all over New Zealand. Skew adjustment is only required when signal strength is weak at the limit of given satellites’ reception area. It involves adjusting the angle of the LNB on the roof mounted antenna unit once you have found the signal.
FAULT FINDING On Screen Error Modes If your portable device is paired with the control box, error messages will be visible on the App. In any case, the error modes will also be visible on the control box. Elevation Error Azimuth Error Activated when the rotation Activated when the elevation...
Control Box Error modes: Solid red A. No SAT found. If searching and no satellite found the ‘flashing green’ LED will go solid RED After 5 seconds the dish will then move to park position. Flashes green Solid red B. No SAT found - system parked.

All solid red D. Ignition mode parked. When system parked during ignition mode all the SAT LED’s stop flashing green and ALL 5 LED’s go solid RED. During Ignition mode ALL control buttons have no function (locked). Once ‘Ignition off’ last satellite found LED start to flash and ready to search (keys active again). Solid orange E.

Connecting to a Satellite Receiver The satellite cables must connect to the Control Box. The Control Box will then output this signal through the F connector marked ‘RECEIVER’. In order for the satellite signal to pass through the Control Box the power must be Power Consumption The Connect has been designed to minimise power consumption.
