Basic principles
ATTENTION
the installation must be performed
by qualified personnel, in particular
for the operations of appliance’s
tightening, cable routing and electric
connections.
ATTENTION
carefully read all safety regulations.
failure to observe the regulations
reported below can cause serious
damage to people or objects.
ATTENTION
before proceeding with any operation
regarding the installation, always
disconnect the primary power supply
(vehicle battery).
ATTENTION
before moving the vehicle, always check
that the antenna is closed even if the
acoustic signal is off.
An essential safety factor is appropriately executing
assembly operations and electrical connections.
Strictly adhere to assembly conditions and operations.

Using the manual
We suggest that you carefully read this manual
before installing and using the CA-SAT antenna and
to adhere strictly to what is included in it, most of
all that which concerns safety and environmental
protection.
This manual contains complete instructions for
correctly installing the CA-SAT system.
The most important information is highlighted inside
the manual by the following icons:
Information regarding system procedures,
operation and specification
Information regarding electrical safety
Information regarding system installation
Useful suggestions
Correct operation of the system
For safe installation of the system and the correct
performances of all the functions of the product, you
must adhere strictly to the instructions in this manual.
This includes travelling in the vehicle once the CA-SAT
has been installed.
CA-SAT is a system designed for use on stationary
campervans and motorhomes and it can receive
TV and radio signals transmitted by geostationary
satellites.
The system can automatically track the geostationary
satellites which transmit a QPSK modulated signal,
according to the DVB-SI EN 300 468 Standard.
The product is designed to be powered by the

 once the equipment is installed on your vehicle, for
parts cleaning and maintenance do not use either
a car wash or high pressure cleaner.
 the antenna has been designed to sustain a
wind resistance of 120 km/h. If strong winds are
encountered, we recommend that the antenna
is closed in order to prevent any stress to the

 in wintery conditions remove any snow or ice from
the antenna before opening. This will prevent any
damage and battery drain.
 the equipment has been designed to operate with
external temperatures between
- 15°C and + 45°C.
Its use outside this range can cause damage or
malfunction.
 ensure that the vehicle battery is fully charged.
A voltage drop below 11V DC will prevent the
antenna from lifting and the correct functioning of
the system.

Before operating the external unit and opening the
parabolic antenna, ensure that the entire working
area of the antenna is free from any obstacle which
could prevent its lifting and free rotation.

The equipment should only be powered by a 12V DC
voltage directly from the main battery using cables
with a minimum sectional area of 2.5 mm.
If using an auxiliary 12V power supplier and not the
vehicle battery, make sure that this equipment is
stabilised and can supply at least 10A. Use of non-
stabilised power supply can cause malfunction and
system failure.

installation is completed;
ensure that the vehicle roof is strong enough to
carry the equipment;
ensure that the roof is free from obstruction or
