PREAMBLE
Preamble:
GIOCAMPER M7 T-SAT is a motorized antenna with automatic alignment.
Automatic alignment is provided using the GPS position and integrated tuner information for
satellite identification.
Some external factors could prolong or fail the automatic alignment of the antenna, such as: trees,
buildings or great obstacles positioned between the antenna and the satellite, vehicle not in good
lateral/frontal inclination, unstable vehicle due to peoples moving during the alignment. To
improve the result of automatic alignment please keep that in consideration.

INSTALLATION
Dish Installation:
1. Place the sat dish bracket in
vertical position, putting inside
the 2 spacing washer and the
screws as in the figure
(Bolt –Steel washer –Dish
Bracket –Alloy Washer –
motor structure), when
positioned tight the 2 screws
with a 13 mm tighten tool.
2. Place the sat dish on its holder
and fix it with the 4 screws as
in the figure.
3. Insert SAT cables, passing
through the bracket and going
out below the LNB bracket.
4. Insert the LNB bracket into the
metal bracket until hearing the
“clac” sound caused by the 2
plastic pins locked in the holes.
5. Prepare SAT connections as
figure below.
(See Pag. 6)

4
6. Untighten the 2 dish holder
screws and leave the dish to go
down, leaning on the abs white
carter as shown in the picture.
The LNB have to be in contact
with the dish. (do not put any
material between LNB and
dish)
7. Tighten the screws in order to avoid free movement of dish. Pay attention to not force too
much.
Fixing of plate:
WARNING: we suggest to place the antenna in the middle of the vehicle roof, or driver side. A lateral
positioning is more exposed to unintentional damage, like trees at side street.
NEVER PLACE IT ON THE INCLINATED AREA OF VEHICLE (BUNK).
Check the space available around the plate positioning point to avoid hitting obstacles during
rotation (oblo, cappe, ecc.):
-For 60 model at least 30cm of free space around the plate positioning point.
-For 70 model at least 35cm of free space around the plate positioning point.
-For 80 model at least 40cm of free space around the plate positioning point.
Clean with a diluent the area of gluing on the fixing plate. We suggest you do not use
commercial grease/dirty remover because they leave a protective patina.
If necessary use a sandpaper fine-grained to remove smog.
Clean with a diluent the fixing plate and wait that is completely dry before applying the glue.
Distribute glue (POLIURETANIC) on the fixing plate, drawing tight rows to avoid emty space. We
suggest to perform even the contour of the fixing plate to avoid water infiltration.
Press the glued fixing plate on the roof, paying attention to remove bubbles of air and aligning
the fixing plate with vehicle side.
Take care of the fixing plate contour, sealing the four side will prevent water infiltration, very
dangerous during winter time (water icing could separate glue from roof).
Remove glue in excess.
Let dry the glue according times listed below:
At least 24h during hot days (For example during springs or summer).
At least 36/48h during cold days (For example during autumn or winter).
After drying time you can proceed with installation of the product.
Positioning of the antenna:
Remove from the plate the first 4 bolts (8mm).
Place antenna on the plate, paying attention to join each pins and holes.
WARNING: Antenna is sent out in TRAVEL POSITION, that is to say that LNB have to be backside
of camper. (Look the picture in the next page).
Tight the four 8 mm bolts using the correct size tool.

BACK SIDE OF CAMPER FRONT SIDE OF CAMPER
Positioning of User Consolle:
User Consolle is designed to be placed in an hole in the wood furniture. If you do not want do any
holes you have to purchase the plastic box (Optional).
Choose the best point to place the user consolle.
If you chose to make the hole please take a note of these measures:
Height 6.5 cm c.a.
Lenght 11.8 cm c.a.
Verify that the User Consolle match the hole size, if not perfect please adjust the hole with a
wood rasp.
If you choose to use the plastic box (Optional), make an hole in the box to insert the
cables(According cables position).
WARNING: During the installation of user
consolle, in the wood or in the plastic box,
pay attention to the FLAT cable and power
cable on the back side of the consolle.
Any damage or breaking of these cables will
NOT BE COVERED FROM WARRANTIE.
Positioning of cables:
Choose a point where you want to
install the antenna on the roof.
Chose the entry point of the cables (for example a fairlead or kitchen hood).
Use a protective tube to avoid the exposure of cables and fix it on the roof.
Pass the cables from outside to the inner side of the camper (power and SAT cables).
Place the SAT cable untill the digital SAT receiver.
Place the Power Supply cable untill the point you will place the user consolle.
We suggest to make electrical connection near the user consoll place.
Place the user consolle cable near the point you will make the electrical connection.
Where electrical connection will be made you must have a positive and negative 12Vcc
cable coming from the living cell electrical plant. We suggest to use cable with a section of
at least 1.5 squared/mm.
We suggest, if possible, to use a dedicated line coming directly from battery.

6
Where electrical connection will be made you must have a positive 12Vcc coming from the
camper plant that have energy only when the alternator run, this is to have an Emergency
Closure function in case you forget antenna opened (Be careful do not use alternator imput
to close antenna instead of normal user consolle imput, this is only an emergency feature).
We suggest to use cable with a section of at least 1.5 squared/mm.
WARNING: Antenna doesn’t have to be connected using the lighter plug.
Temporary connections are not to be considered a proper way to use product.
Malfunctions caused by this type of connections are NOT COVERED FROM WARRANTIE.
ELETTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Power Supply cable connection:
Do not round toghether the cable in excess, please cut cable if not necessary.
Using the connection kit you can connect cable color by
color. We suggest you to connect same color by the same
side of the connection kit for better electrical connection,
adding to the opposite side the 3 cables
(+12Vcc, -12Vcc and Alt +12Vcc).
Connect color by color rounding togheter copper wire
(as shown in the picture).
IT IS MANDATORY ON POSITIVE CABLES INSERT A FUSE OF 5 Ah.
It will prevent short circuit damages. No Warrantie cover in case of no fuse.
Follow the connection scheme to connect cables:
Yellow Yellow
Green Green
Grey Grey
Pink Pink +12 Vcc available with alternator running
Brown Brown +12 Vcc of living cell plant
White White -12 Vcc of living cell plant
SAT cable connection:
Do not round toghether the cable in excess, please
cut SAT cable if not necessary.
Put the female connector on the SAT cable as shown.
Plug the connector to the digital receiver.
(Normally the correct socket is marcked as “SAT IN”).
WARNING be carefully that external socket of sat cable
have not to be in contact with internal copper wire of the
sat cable. On the sat cable there are normally 12 / 18 Vcc
and a this shortcircuit will damage the receiver or the
LNB.
This kind of damage, produced by wrong connection
procedure, is not covered by warrantie.

Degrees have to be considered as “more or less”, so an error tolerance of 2/3 degrees is acceptable.
Antenna will perform the research even if the degrees are not perfectly correct.
