Instruction Manual
Vers. 1.5
Thank you for purchasing our product.
Please read this instruction manual carefully before mounting
and operating this antenna!
Please write down the serial number of this antenna.
In case of questions please inform us of this number:
Ser.-Nr.: _________________________________

The Camos CSA-1300P/1400P enables reception of the major European satellites like
ASTRA1, ASTRA2, HOTBIRD, SIRIUS, ATLANTIK BIRD 3 and HISPASAT.
If you want to watch TV or access the Internet via satellite, here’s the equipment you need.
The sat-dome is compact in size, light in weight, reliable in operation and incredibly easy
to operate and install: there are just two cables to run. So the system’s simplicity and
neatness makes it an attractive alternative to conventional dish systems.
1. Standard accessory
- Sat-Antenna CSA-1300P/1400P
- Control box incl. power cable
- 1 HQ coax cable (10m) with F-plug on both ends
- 1 HQ coax cable (1m, white)
- 1 Gel protection cap for F-plug
2. Installing your antenna
We basically recommend installing the CSA-1300P/1400P with the help
of your professional dealer/workshop!
Please pay attention that installing the antenna increases the height of your vehicle!
Important!
Please absolutely keep to each individual point of mounting instruction!
General:
Please take care of a suitable workplace, a garage or hall is better than a place outside.
The ambient temperature during sticking the antenna should lie within a temperature
between +5°C to max.+25°C. If you work outside avoid direct sunlight!
Always keep to the instructions dealing with chemical products.
Take care of necessary hygienic working conditions.
Preparation:
1. Assure that the roof of your vehicle is able to carry the antenna. If you are not sure
please fix a metal plate (Alu, approx. 2mm thickness) onto the roof. Please also ask the
vehicle's manufacturer.
2. Please check completeness of parts.
3. Put the antenna on the selected mounting place on the car roof and adjust if
necessary. The mounting place must be even and no other roof constructions may
cover the reception area of the antenna.
Mark the outline of antenna feet with a suitable pen.
In case of problems (e.g. the roof is not even but has a curved form instead) please call
our hotline to arrange further steps.

4. Replace the antenna.
Clean the mounting place and the antenna feet with the supplied special cleaning fluid
"Reiniger1" and the supplied fleece (please wear the supplied Latex gloves!). Grind the
marked fixing areas and antenna feet with sandpaper (not too much, the surface must
be rough a little bit only), clean the surface and antenna feet with cleaning fluid 1 again
and wait another 10 minutes.
Attention! Now do not touch the cleaned surface any more!
5. Apply (with the help of the wool wiper - please wear the supplied Latex gloves!) the
Primer 2 evenly and thin onto the cleaned surface and feet. Then please wait another
10 minutes. Attention! Do not touch the cleaned surfaces any more!
Close the Primer 2 bottle at once after use.
Note:
If the surface of the mounting place is made from unknown material, we recommend a
"test sticking". If necessary we can arrange a material analysis at your cost.
Sticking the antenna to your vehicle's roof:
1. Cut the tip of the supplied cartouche special glue "Spezialkleber 3" (please wear the
supplied Latex gloves!).
2. Apply evenly the glue onto the antenna feet (thickness of glue layer approx. 3 to 4mm
3. Please put the antenna (max. 5 minutes after applying the glue!) on the selected
mounting place on the car roof. Press the antenna feet smoothly onto the roof and fix
the antenna with tape e.g. to avoid moving. After pressing the antenna feet onto the
roof the minimum thickness of the glue layer must be approx. 2mm. Now the glue
needs a hardening time of approx. 48 hours (air humidity of 50%). If the air humidity is
lower than 50% please spray some water into the air in the surrounding of the antenna
feet.
4. Remove the outcropped glue on the sides of antenna feet and clean the surface with
the supplied fleece and special cleaning fluid "Reiniger1".
5. In addition you can fix the antenna feet with the help of 4 screws. Please set the screw
after hardening of the glue.

3. Connections
Do not mount the Control box and your satellite receiver in the area of the vehicle's
airbags! Lay the cables carefully to avoid short circuit! Pay attention to existing
cables!
1. Connect the antenna by plugging the long white cable into antenna and control box.
2. Put the gel cap over the antenna socket.
3. Connect the power cable (red/black) to the control box and power source (car battery
e.g.). Positive terminal (+) = red colour
Negative terminal (+) = black colour
4. Install your satellite receiver (CAMOS SVR-200 e.g.) according to it's user manual
and connect it to the control box via the short white coax cable.

4. Starting up and operating
1. Switch on your satellite receiver and monitor/TV. Now you can switch on the control
box. The green "LNB" indicator lights up after switching on the receiver.
2. Switch on the control box. The red indicator of the preset satellite lights up.
The red "POWER" indicator lights up, the red indicator of the preset satellite starts
blinking, then lights up continuously. Now the antenna starts the search mode.
3. When the antenna found the desired satellite, it stops and starts fine adjustment. When
fine adjustment is finished the "LOCK" indicator lights up and the TV picture appears
on the screen.
(If you have selected a TV channel in high band with vertical polarisation you can see
the TV picture already during fine adjustment)
Now the "POWER" indicator turns off and the antenna is in power save mode.
4. If the antenna does not immediately catch the desired satellite, after a short moment
the "LOCK" indicator turns off, the indicator of the(wrong) catched satellite lights up for
a short moment and the antenna starts searching again for the desired satellite.
The duration of the first search mode can be around max. 3 minutes. When you
have changed your location this mode can be much shorter because the antenna
has memorized it's previous position.
5. Selecting a satellite
a) Push within the first 3 seconds after switching on the control box the "SATELLITE
SELECT" button as often until the desired satellite indicator lights up.
b) Push (after the antenna has locked on the desired satellite) the "SATELLITE
SELECT" button as often until the desired, new satellite indicator lights up.
Now the antenna moves to the new satellite.

footprint.

ASTRA 2-S please select when you are in the southern part of ASTRA2
footprint.
ASTRA 1 please select for Astra 1
HOTBIRD please select Hotbird
SIRIUS please select for Sirius
ATLANTIC BIRD 3 please select for Atlantic Bird 3
HISPASAT please select for HISPASAT
On the move it is normal that obstacles like tunnels, trees or buildings cut the direct
connection to the satellite. In this case no reception is possible.
5. In case of problems
No reception / no picture:
•Any obstacles (trees, buildings or roof constructions) between antenna and
satellite?
Choose a different position or wait until your vehicle is in reception area of satellite
again.
•Correct installation of antenna cables? Defective cables (broken)?
Please check the cables!
•Did you select the correct satellite? Please check weather the satellite selected on
your receiver corresponds with the satellite selected on control box.
•Did you switch on control box and satellite receiver?
•Power supply ok? Please check power cable(s).
Note:
We recommend not to paint the antenna dome, because this may have a negative effect
on satellite reception and the dome (due to the solvents of the paint)
