The Camos CSA-600 enables reception on the move of the major European satellites
including THOR 2/3, ASTRA 1, ASTRA 2, HOTBIRD, SIRIUS and ATLANTIK BIRD3.
If you want to watch TV or access the Internet via satellite, even when your boat is moving,
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’s just one coax cable to run.
1. Supplied standard equipment
- Sat-Antenna CSA-600
- Control box incl. power cable
- 1 HQ coax cable (10m) with F-plug on both ends
- 1 HQ coax cable (1m, black)
2. Installing your antenna
We recommend installing the CSA-600 with the help of your professional dealer/workshop.
Attention! Before operating the antenna you must remove:
1. Pls remove the dome cover of the antenna
by removing the 12pcs dome screws.
2. Remove the safety screws
on the antenna bottom
3. Remove the safety clamp
inside the antenna
4. Remove the safety strap and the
long safety screw

Before mounting we recommend to test the antenna at the selected mounting place!
In some cases it may happen that the antenna does not work properly.
After checking please mount the antenna as follows:
1. Put the antenna on the selected mounting place and adjust if necessary.
The mounting place must be even and there should be no obstructions which may
interfere with reception of the satellite signal.
2. Mark the outline of the antenna’s bolts with a suitable pen.
3. Thrill the mounting holes and fix the antenna with the supplied nuts
3. Connections
Lay the cables carefully to avoid short circuits! Pay attention to existing cables!
1. Connect the antenna by plugging the long white cable into the middle antenna cable
socket.
2. Connect the power cable (red/black) to the control box and power source. This can be
between 10V & 30V D.C.
Positive terminal (+) = red colour
Negative terminal (+) = black colour
3. Connect the control box with the middle antenna cable socket.
Then connect one receiver (via the short co-ax cable) with the socket marked
"RECEIVER" on the back of the control box, the other receivers pls connect directly
with the remaining sockets of the antenna.

Antenna socket (F)
Power socket
Control box (rear-view)
connect to control box
connect to 2nd receiver
connect to 3rd receiver

4. Instead of the 3 receiver you can also connect a satellite multi switch to the antenna.
This enables you to use more than 3 receiver with the antenna.
Please pay attention that the multi switch is able to be connected directly with "Quad
LNB", not only "Quattro LNB".
4. Starting up
1. Switch on your satellite receiver and monitor/TV. Then switch on the control box.
2. The antenna goes to search mode and, after a while, finds the desired satellite.

5. Operating the antenna
1. Selecting a satellite / Search mode
Push the "SATELLITE SELECT" button several times until the desired satellite
indicator lights up.
ASTRA 2-N Select this position when you are in the northern part of ASTRA2
footprint.
ASTRA 2-S Select this position when you are in the southern part of ASTRA2
footprint.
ASTRA 1 Select this position for Astra 1
HOTBIRD Select this position for Hotbird
SIRIUS Select this position for Sirius
AB 3 Select this position for Atlantic Bird 3
HISPA Select this position for Hispasat
Now the antenna starts searching and the indicator for the search mode (SEARCH)
lights up.
2. Tracking mode
When the antenna has found the selected satellite, the satellite indicator goes out for 1
second and lights up again. Now the satellite is logged in and the tracking indicator
(TRACKING) lights up.
Sometimes it happens that the antenna at first stops and locks onto a different satellite
(depending on your position, signal strength and weather conditions). In this case the
indicator of the different satellite lights up for a second and goes out again. The
antenna has now recognized that it has found the wrong satellite and moves to the
correct position.
The controller will remember which satellite it last found and will always look for that
one when it is switched on again.
Now you can enjoy TV.
3. Standby / Sleep mode
When your boat does not move for a longer time (antenna keeps position) the antenna
automatically falls into a "Sleep" mode (Standby). That means the tracking movements
will be stopped (to avoid tracking noise).
If the antenna position is changed (boat starts moving again) the antenna automatically
starts the tracking mode (TRACKING) or search mode (SEARCH), depending on how
much the antenna position has changed.
You can also manually activate the standby / sleep mode:

After logging in (TRACKING mode indicator lights up) push the "SATELLITE SELECT"
button once. Now the SLEEP mode indicator lights up in addition and the antenna
stops moving.
You can deactivate the SLEEP mode by pushing the "SATELLITE SELECT" button
once again.
If you completely switch off the antenna (e.g. overnight) the antenna will go to search
mode again after switching on the next day.
6. In case of problems
No reception / no picture:
•Any obstacles (big ships, buildings or roof constructions) between antenna and
satellite?
Choose a different position with a clear line of sight to the satellite.
•Correct installation of antenna cables? Defective cables (broken)?
Please check the cables!
•Did you select the right satellite? Please check whether the satellite you have
selected on your receiver corresponds with the satellite you have selected on the
control box.
•Did you switch on both the control box and satellite receiver?
•Power supply ok? Please check power cable(s).
If you want to use a different cable (from antenna to control box):
Only use high quality low loss coax cable. The F-plugs must be high quality types as well,
because as well as the RF signal, the power supply voltage for the antenna passes down
this cable. Even small losses may have an effect on reception.
We strongly advise to use the supplied cables.
