Installation Instructions OYSTER DIGITAL CI Version 1/2008... - Page 2 FITTING INSTRUCTIONS OYSTER DIGITAL It is no problem to fit an Oyster Digital fully automatic satellite system onto any vehicle. However, you should take care with some specific points and therefore, PLEASE READ these instructions carefully before starting your work, to obtain the very best results later on whenever you use your new system.
- Page 3 Shipped items When unpacking you should find the following: Plastic bag with: - 5m Cable from TopBox to Receiver - 3 – pin power supply strip ( RED: +12V, BROWN: GND, Black: Ignition) - TV coaxial cable - SCART cable - Operating instructions - Fitting instructions (this document) - 6 screws for the mounting plate...
- Page 4 Fitting 1. Preparations Check whether the roof of the vehicle (onto which the fitting is intended) is strong and stable enough. If not, or unsure, obtain a sheet of aluminium, approximately 2mm thick 1m x 1m size and fit this to the roof first. If in doubt contact the manufacturer of the vehicle to obtain information about its permissible roof load.
- Page 5 2a. Aluminium elbow The cable intake into the aluminium elbow must point to the back of the vehicle to prevent water from coming in while driving. It is to your advantage to place the elbow directly above or very close to the fitting location of the receiver. 2b.
- Page 6 operation of the remote unit. The remote operates by infrared light (IR). 2d. Free space required by TopBox Make sure, that there is enough space for the Oyster when folded down and when operating (while the dish is being rotated). You have to fit the system with the LNB pointing to the back of the vehicle.
- Page 7 has to point to the vehicle's back. The bolts on the mounting plate are NOT fully symmetrical. This is why you need to take special care to fit the plate into the correct direction. The side with the bolts closer to each other is the forward direction. You can put the TopBox onto the plate to see if it fits! Attention! Before fixing the mounting plate onto the roof, be absolutely sure...
- Page 8 4. Place on the Oyster First plug in the two connectors into the matching receptacle. The black cable has to be fed out into the REAR direction. Now place the Oyster onto its mounting plate. Put the cable into either one of the two given slots in the cabinet.
- Page 9 some glue onto any screw before fixing it. Make sure that the length of cable on the roof is sufficient to do proper cable work. This is your last chance to do so. g) Now double check that the Oyster is in a proper position with the LNB-arm pointing to the back of the vehicle, that the cables are plugged into the TopBox and that the cable work on the roof is nice and clean.
- Page 10 6. Cable work inside the vehicle a) Guide the cable coming through the roof to the receiver. Any remaining cable must not be cut but should be wound neatly and stored close to the receiver. c) Connect the SCART or the coax cable to the receiver and interconnect it to your display.
- Page 11 7. Power supply Always make sure that there is enough power to the Oyster to avoid trouble. As with any other computer device, the Oyster Digital receiver is somewhat sensitive to a weak power supply. a) The Oyster requires a 12V or a 24V DC power supply. We recommend a 12V supply.
- Page 12 8.Safety / Ignition OFF The 3-pin power connector holds a third line, colored black. This is to automatically retract the antenna if the vehicles motor is started. The automatic retraction will avoid any damage to the system if the owner accidentally forgets to switch the system off properly before starting to travel.

- Page 14 10. Fitting of dish When all interconnection and fitting is done you have to fit the dish finally. Attention: Before the first power up, check if all tools have been removed from the TopBox. It might be a good idea to have an assistant watching the TopBox when it is coming up first, if you do not have direct sight to it when first powering up.
- Page 15 11. Adjust TV set and receiver You have two possibilities to interconnect the receiver and the display (TV set). It is enough to do only ONE of either the coax connection or SCART connection. Coax connection First, you need to connect the coax cable on both sides (TV and receiver) then you will have to tune in your TV to the proper channel.
- Page 16 The Oyster Digital is now ready to operate. For a first test, just switch on again and wait about a minute, while the system will locate the satellite and will lock onto its transmission. Any details about the operation of the Oyster can be found in the OYSTER DIGITAL Operating Manual.
- Page 17 Note: Before switching on, make sure you have free sight to the satellite (in a northerly direction). 12. Operation of the OYSTER DIGITAL 1. Switch on the TV set. Switch to SCART or the matching TV channel if necessary. 2. Power up the Oyster with the red button on the remote. Alternatively you can push both buttons on the sat-mouse simultaneously for a short moment to get the system up.
