3. Installation Planning
Decide w ere you wis to mount your satellite system.
Location of t e lift assembly must allow antenna to point towards t e
rear of t e ve icle w en resting in t e travel position, and must clear all
roof mounted equipment w en being raised, lowered or rotated.
T e inside ceiling must be clear of obstructions to ceiling plate and
andle. Before drilling, c eck for cables or obstructions wit in t e roof
space.
Tape t e drill template to t e roof of t e ve icle in t e position w ere
t e lift assembly will be installed. Mark t e centre ole as well as
mounting oles. Ensure that the lift assem ly is located in front of
the antenna pointing in direction of motion.
T e roof perforation for antenna cable s ould be located approx. 13 cm
in front of lift assembly (in direction of motion).
Also, c eck for cables, equipment, or obstructions inside t e ve icle
before drilling.
Select t e location and drill one 13 mm diameter ole t roug t e roof
only for t e coaxial cable.

4. Mounting
Using a 38mm diameter ole saw, cut a ole t roug t e roof and
ceiling for t e centre s aft. Apply a layer of approx. 0,5 cm t ick of
ad esive suc as Sikaflex® on t e bottom of t e base plate. Follow t e
manufacturer’s guidelines for surface preparation, application and
curing.
Insert t e cranks aft wit square tube into t e ole, t en position and
attac t e lift assembly to t e roof wit t e enclosed self-cutting tapping
screw s.
Measure t e t ickness of t e roof. Using t e table below, decide if you
need one or two ceiling support plates. Assemble graduation disc,
ceiling plate, rotation andle, spring, was er and elevating andle (See
illustration). Slide all parts over s aft and tig ten t e screw in t e
elevation andle.

5. Connecting the Antenna
Connect t e coaxial cable to t e antenna and tig ten. Feed t e cable
sidewise t roug t e lift assembly, t en insert cable t roug gland in
rear of roof entry box and pus cable into ve icle. Leave 70 cm of cable
(see indication) from antenna to roof entry. Following glue on t e cable
entry box to t e roof (e.g. wit Sikaflex®).
Route cable to satellite receiver
and fit ‘F’ connector.
Connect to t e connector marked
"SATELLITE IN" on t e rear of t e
satellite receiver.
6. To locate the satellite:
Using t e zone map determine your location and note t e angle of
elevation required. Turn t e elevation andle counter clockwise (ccw)
t e number of turns indicated in t e graduation disc to get t e elevation
for your location.
Note: The specifications are approximate values, depending on
the location.

T e graduation disc also will be used to
indicate t e approximate direction and
position of t e desired satellite. Wit t e
enclosed compass find out t e direction
nort and turn t e Indicator
"N" into t is direction.
Turn t e indicator of rotation andle into t e area of desired satellite,
w ic appears ig lig ted in colour on t e graduation disc.
Turn t e rotation andle slowly inside
t is area, until you receive t e desired
TV-c annel.
Note: Stop rotating the antenna if
you notice a resistance. Don't try to
get over it.
Note: Most receivers display t e signal strengt on t e TV set. You can
use t is option to maximize t e signal strengt by sweeping t e dis
from side to side.
For fine tuning you may turn t e rotation andle slowly to t e left or rig t.
Also, use t e elevation andle and turn it marginally clockwise or
counter clockwise to get t e best signal.

7. To Lower Antenna:
Pull rotation andle down to disengage gear from ceiling plate and
rotate t e antenna until t e pointer on t e ceiling plate is aligned wit
t e pointer on t e rotation andle. Rotate elevation andle counter
clockwise until you ear t e antenna touc t e roof (resistance will be
felt in t e andle).
If you notice resistance during rotation (t e antenna cable maybe
winded around t e unit), turn into contrary direction.
W RNING ! ! ! Vehicle must not be driven with antenna in raised
or partially raised position. lign the pointers on the ceiling plate
and rotation handle before you lower the ntenna.
