Safety precautions during operation During operation of the turntable, make sure that no persons, in particular children, are in the immediate vicinity of the turntable and that they cannot touch any moving parts – crush hazard! Always unplug the power supply during installation work.
Loosen the six fastening screws (width A/F: 10 mm). Carefully lift the turntable off the mounting plate and place it on the prepared wooden supports. Make sure that the cables are not crushed where they emerge from the underside of the turntable.
Page 10
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).
If you prefer a different method of laying the cables, they can be run from the rear of the turntable via the channel provided in the mounting plate. The cables must then be run along the roof of the vehicle in a protective cable duct (not supplied).
Page 12
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION Figure: B • Mark out the positions of the six fastening holes on the roof of the vehicle in a circular pattern. Note: The size of the holes and the choice of fastening screws to be used (not supplied) depend on the type and thickness of the materials used in the roof structure.
Page 13
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 ® 291 adhesive sealant supplied, which is ideally suited for this purpose thanks to its broad range of adhesion.

• Lift up the turntable and place it carefully on the mounting plate facing in the direction of travel (see illustration Fig. E) (do not step on the plug connector and do not kink/crush the cables!) The through holes on the turntable must be perfectly aligned with the threaded holes on the mounting plate.
Page 16
• Arrange the cables in the cable duct when placing the turntable on to the mounting plate. Make sure that the cables are not crossed over and that they are taut so that they cannot be crushed. Do not try to pull the cables from the unit.
BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING THE TURNTABLE The sequence of pictures shown illustrates all the necessary installation steps that are required to install the turntable and the BAS 60 parabolic refl ector on the roof of the vehicle. The other detailed instructions in this installation and operating manual must also be followed! Determination of installation location.
Page 18
Set up electrical connections. Connect the UFS 740 receiver. Connect the turntable to the battery. The antenna must always be lowered into horizontal position (park position) while driving! Maximum driving speed of the vehicle: 130 km/h Screw turntable on to mounting plate using torque wrench.
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION INSTALLATION OF THE UFS 740SW RECEIVER The turntable is controlled by the UFS 740sw DVB-S receiver. The cable lengths must be taken into account when choosing the installation location. For suspended installation use the installation kit supplied with the receiver.
Page 20
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION Remove the wood screws supplied from their transport attachment on the underside of the respective mounting piece (2 pieces). Vertically insert each mounting piece into the fi fth slot from the edge, as shown in Fig. 1. Then push each mounting piece downwards and outwards (see Fig.
Avoid laying the cables across sharp edges and protect the cables against possible chafi ng points. • Connect the coaxial cable (coming from the turntable) to the “IF IN” F socket on the rear of the UFS 740sw. • Place the infrared sensor for the receiver close to or directly on top of the TV set and lay the cable to the UFS 740sw.
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.
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! Ensure the cable polarity is correct!
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°...
Never open the turntable yourself! DISMANTLING • Do not cut the cables! At the cable junction provided, disconnect the cables projecting from the turntable from the two cables laid within the interior of the vehicle (unplug the plug). • The cables laid within the vehicle can remain there •...
POLARISATION SETTING The LNB for the CAP 700 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.
- During setting operations, make sure that no persons, in particular no children, are in the immediate vicinity of the turntable and that they cannot touch any moving parts - crush hazard! Nobody should be below the antenna inside the caravan / motor home during setting operations...

Press the button and the turntable will move to the selected elevation angle. Turn off the UFS 740 using the main switch on the front and disconnect it from the power. 10. Use the socket driver supplied (size 20) to slacken the securing screw of the clamp on the LNB.
MANUAL LOWERING TO PARK POSITION If a defect arises in the electronic controls, after some disassembly work the satellite dish 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!
The connection to the rocker can suddenly come loose during the next step (item 4). It is then no longer connected to the turntable! Screw an M10 x 40 screw into this thread (minimum length: 40 mm). Screwing in the M10 screw pushes the rocker off the tapered shaft and releases the engagement.

To prevent the turntable rotating at a time when it is unsupervised or when rotation might be irritating (e.g. in the middle of the night), a timer can be set. During the timer period the turntable is active only if the UFS 740sw is in operation or is in standby mode.
Note: Before exchanging any component of the system (such as the receiver) the turntable should be moved to its park position by means of the “Reset the turn table antenna” command. The “Reset” deletes all previously saved satellite positions. The satellite data in the UFS 740 receiver are however retained.
The following messages are shown on the screen to protect your reception system and the on-board power supply: The power supply to the turntable is inadequate (battery voltage below the minimum value). The turntable can still be moved, but communication errors can occur between the UFS 740sw and the turntable (e.g.
