  • Page 7: Safety Instructions - Important Information

    SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - IMPORTANT INFORMATION Safety during installation work When carrying out installation work in locations where there is a risk of falling, take appropriate safety precautions, e.g. use of a working platform. Make sure that the vehicle roof is suffi ciently strong and stable to carry out the installation work (risk of damage or collapsing of roof).
  • Page 8 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - IMPORTANT INFORMATION Road Traffi c Licensing Regulations (StVZO) The applicable regulations of the StVZO must be observed in respect of fi xed installation of the turntable on a vehicle which is driven on public highways. In particular, §§ 19/2; 30 C; 32 (2) and the EC directive 74/483 EEC are applicable. Briefl...

Otherwise the control unit that is in use is lowered immediately. Important: Lowering the antenna can take up to 30 seconds after the ignition is switched on and operates only if the turntable is connected to the 12-V power supply and to the ignition...

  • Page 10: Installation And Connection

    SELECTING THE INSTALLATION LOCATION Essentially, the cable lengths of the MobiSet 3 Twin CAP 720 components allow you a free choice of installation location on your caravan or motor home. However, you should take note of the following points: •...
  • Page 11 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION • When selecting the installation position, take into account the range of movement of the turntable (see graphics and the “Technical Data” chapter). There must be no structures on the roof that would obstruct this range of movement (risk of collision). For safety, keep at least the required area free (for ease of installation and any subsequent dismantling).

    INSTALLATION OF CABLE GLAND AND MOUNTING PLATE Note: If you had previously used a Kathrein HDM140/141 fl exible satellite mast or another mast with a diameter of 34 mm, you can continue using the existing gland hole in the roof (if space allows).
  • Page 13 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION • Place the mounting plate on the roof of the vehicle, such that the centre hole is positioned centrally to the cable gland. The arrow symbol must be visible from above and point forwards in the direction of travel (Fig.
  • Page 14 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION • Create the holes necessary to secure the mounting plate (Fig. C). • In addition to the screwed connection, the mounting plate and roof gland must be bonded to the roof with adhesive and sealed. This is done using the Sikafl ex ® 291i adhesive sealant supplied, which is ideally suited for this purpose thanks to its broad range of adhesion.

    INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION INSTALLATION OF THE UFS 940SW SELECTION OF A SUITABLE INSTALLATION LOCATION Note: When choosing the installation location, bear in mind that the rear of the unit should always be accessible. The UFS 940sw is equipped with a power saving circuit and a separate infrared transmitter, which means that the unit does not need to be placed where it is visible.
  • Page 21 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION Connections and fusing of the unit: All connection cables for connection to the receiver (including the infra-red sensor) are connected at the rear of the unit (see also the item “Connection example” in this section). When selecting the installation location, allow suffi...
  • Page 22 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION Using the adhesive strips supplied, now install the infra-red sensor either on the receiver or at the chosen location. If the infra-red sensor is installed on the unit, its cable can be threaded in at its base, as for a phone, and routed to the rear of the receiver (see diagram on the right).

  • Page 25: Laying Cables And Connecting The Turntable

    INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION LAYING CABLES AND CONNECTING THE TURNTABLE • Lay the master coaxial cable (marked red) to the UFS 940sw and the second coaxial cable to the second receiver. If you are not using a second receiver, we recommend that you lay the second coaxial cable in any case, so that it is available should you ever need it.

  • Page 26: Functional Instructions For Connection To The On-Board Power Supply

    INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION Only for connection in a motor home, not in a caravan! • The green connecting cable, marked “IGNITION” allows you the option of connection to a circuit in the vehicle that is activated when the ignition key is turned and then carries a continuous 12 V supply. This type of connection ensures that when the engine is started the antenna is automatically lowered into the park position (the receiver does not need to be turned on).

  • Page 27: Connection Example For 12 V Battery Connection

    INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION CONNECTION EXAMPLE FOR 12 V BATTERY CONNECTION Figure: G Important: For operation with two batteries, it must be ensured that the ignition signal earth has the same potential as the power supply battery earth for the turntable. Non-compliance means that the automatic lowering function will not work!

  • Page 28: Reception Range/Footprint

    RECEPTION RANGE/FOOTPRINT The footprint is the reception area on the earth that a satellite covers with its transmission beam (spot), within which satellite reception is possible. The transmission power is at its greatest in the centre of this spot – it becomes progressively weaker moving outwards. You should preferably align your antenna to the position of the ASTRA satellite 19.2°...

  • Page 30: Polarisation Setting

    POLARISATION SETTING POLARISATION SETTING The LNB for the CAP 720 is factory-set to the polarisation setting “0”. In this position you can still receive signals from satellites with differences (between the longitude of the desired reception area and the orbit position of the satellite) of 15° to 20°. For differences greater than this it is best to rotate the LNB and set the necessary polarisation angle.

  • Page 32: Safety Notes

    POLARISATION SETTING SAFETY NOTES We strongly advise that users who are not familiar with the setting operations should not undertake to set the LNB themselves. They should contact a technician or engineer. They may fi nd a suitable person on the campsite. Make sure that: - The antenna and connected units are disconnected from the power - The person carrying out the installation does not suffer from vertigo and can move around safely on the...

  • Page 35: Manual Lowering To Park Position

    MANUAL LOWERING TO PARK POSITION If a defect arises in the electronic controls, after some disassembly work the antenna can be returned to the park position (horizontal position) manually. Following this however recalibration by an authorised workshop is always necessary. Driving to the nearest workshop with the antenna extended at a moderate speed and taking into account the increase + 79 cm in the vehicle height is an option and is preferable to manual lowering!

  • Page 36: Manual Lowering

    MANUAL LOWERING TO PARK POSITION MANUAL LOWERING In the centre of the antenna (arrowed) there is a plastic cap. Lever this off with a narrow slot-head screwdriver. Behind the cap is an M8 hexagon head screw. Unscrew these using a 13 mm socket wrench. After removing the M8 screw, a further thread can be seen.

The turntable antenna software is defective. An update is required. Contact our service centre. FURTHER MESSAGES The cause of the following error messages may be that the UFS 940 is connected not to the master cable (marked red) but to the slave cable.
