WARNING!!!
Antennas improperly installed or installed to an inadequate structure are very susceptible to wind damage.
This damage can be very serious or even life threatening of it. The owner and installer assumes full responsibility
that the installation is structurally sound to support all loads (weight, wind & ice) and properly sealed against leaks.
The manufacturer will not accept liability for any damage caused by a satellite system due to unknown variable
applications.
For Safety & Property of Users
Congratulations’ on purchasing your new CSA-10PA unit. The CSA-10PA is state of the art antenna technology.
This user guide contains all the information required for setup and operation of the CSA-10PA unit.
Please follow the user guide carefully.
* All the instructions should be followed in order to avoid any technical problems.
* Any electric or magnetic eld close to CSA-10PA may cause a bad reception or even cut o the signal completely.
* Do not drill the plastic cover of the antenna, which seals the antenna from moisture.
* Handle the antenna with care as any impact will cause damage to the electronics.
* Do not open the cover, any attempt to repair by a non-qualied person can be dangerous and void the warranty.
* Any obstacle (buildings, tree, etc…) will block the reception of the signal from the satellite to the antenna.
* Do not paint or add any substance on the antenna cover, this will block the reception of the signal from the satellite.
* The use of non-isolated jacks will result in a loss of the signal level.
* This product contains one universal LNB, it is forbidden to add, change or modify the LNB.
* For more precise details on the above points or for any information, please ask your retailer or customer service.

IDU unit is for the CSA-10PA Pro package.
Power Inserter is for the CSA-10PA and CSA-10PA PLUS package.

Where to Install?
In order to receive a signal from the Satellite, CSA-10PA is to be installed in an open loop space (outside the house or
the apartment), in the direction of the satellite towards the equator, for which, you can refer a compass to orient CSA-
10PA exactly toward the satellite.
(Note; please take reference to the table of the Azimuth angles specified in the web site of ‘http://www.camos-
multimedia.com.’
Make sure that there are no obstacles in front of CSA-10PA which can decrease the signal reception quality, such as
buildings, or trees (you may keep in mind that trees will grow and may block the signal). In order to be able to x and
install your antenna easily you might choose an easily accessible place without any potential danger for installation.
Think about the way you might pass your cable in a discreet way from the CSA-10PA to your Set-top Box.

1. Blown Fuse
With the system powered on, move the antenna reflector
slowly by hand. If the reector does not move freely, a fuse
is not the problem. If the reector does move freely, one of
the two fuses mounted on the CPU Board may have blown
or been broken. The CSA-10PA Technical Manual provides
detailed instructions for authorized service personnel who
may be required to replace a fuse. Contact your local CAMOS
dealer or service center for assistance.
2. Low Power
If the power cable to the antenna unit is more than 50ft(15
m), the power levels can decrease over the course of the
cable, resulting in a voltage or current level at the antenna
unit that is too low to power the system properly.
The CSA-10PA Technical Manual provides detailed instructions
for supplying adequate power to the antenna unit.
Contact your local CAMOS dealer or service center for
assistance.
3. Wiring
If the system has been improperly wired, it will not operate
correctly. The CSA-10PA Technical Manual provides detailed
instructions for authorized service personnel who may be
required to check the wiring. Contact your local CAMOS
dealer or service center for assistance.
4. Satellite Signal Blocked
Satellite signals can be blocked or degraded by buildings,
other vessels, or equipment on the vessel itself.
Simply moving the vessel or obstruction will clear the signal.
5. Satellite Coverage Issue
CSA-10PA will provide outstanding reception within the 18”
(46 cm) antenna coverage area for your satellite television
service of choice.
However, reception can be degraded as you approach the
fringe coverage areas.
Refer to your satellite television service manual to check the
viable coverage area for a18” (46 cm) antenna.
6. Radar Interference
The energy levels radiated by radar units can overload the
antenna’s front-end circuits. Check with your installer to make
certain that the CSA-10PA antenna unit is in the optimal
location with regard to your radar unit.
7. Satellite Frequency Data Changed
If some channels work while one or more other channels
do not, or if the antenna is unable to find the satellite, the
selected satellite’s frequency data may have changed.
This frequency data can be updated via the maintenance
port. Contact your local CAMOS dealer or service center for
assistance.
8. Incorrect or Loose RF Connectors
A loose RF connector can reduce the quality of the satellite
signal. Also, if you cannot switch satellites using your IRD
remote, your IRD may be connected to the wrong antenna
base plate connector. The CSA-10PA Technical Manual
provides instructions for authorized service personnel who
may need to check the RF connections. Contact your local
CAMOS dealer or service center for assistance.
Trouble Shooting
There are a number of common issues that can aect the signal reception quality or the operation of the CSA-10PA.
The following sections address these issues and potential solutions.
Blown Fuse, Low Power, or Wiring
If the antenna unit is installed but entirely non-responsive, there are three key factors to check as part of the
troubleshooting process:

Loss of Signal / Rain Fade
* The satellite signal may be lost temporarily due to unusually heavy rainfall. An optimally aligned antenna, along with
the shortest possible cable run, minimizes the chances of“rain fade”.
* Make sure the antenna is mounted securely to prevent it from being blown out of alignment in a heavy wind.
* Heavy snow accumulation on the antenna may reduce the satellite signal strength; snow should be swept away as
soon as possible.
* Tree foliage growth into antenna’s line-of-sight to the satellite may result in gradual loss of picture.

A condition of weather gets an eect to the signal quality.
A tip for the horn assembling
Add the rubber ring when you are assembling
the horn into the dish for its water protection.

Cross Polarization (Skew Angle) :
Tilt your antenna to the specied degree by looking to the degree graduation
located on the back of the antenna bracket.
To obtain the skew angle of chosen satellite, please refer to
“www.camos-multimedia.com” or end of this manual.
Elevation Angle :
Then obtain the Elevation angle according to the area location of the chosen satellite at‘http://www.camos-multimedia.com’.
Azimuth :
All of the European satellites are located to the south, there will be a minor difference in the azimuth angle from one satellite to
another.
(Example of pointing & nding the signal)
In order to watch Canal + through ASTRA1 (19.2 East) from the city ‘Brest’ of France, you will see Skew angle at -19.7, Elevation angle
at 30, and Azimuth angle at 149.6.
