Intended Use
The CAP 850 GPS and HDP 850 GPS fully automatic camping satellite systems are intended to be used for receiving
digital TV and radio channels via satellite. The automatic positioners are intended to be used as a turntable for the
Kathrein parabolic reflector.
The turntable is intended to be used for receiving digital TV and radio signals in the frequency range from
10.70 to 12.75 GHz. This antenna cannot receive terrestrial signals (e.g. DVB-T, DVB-T2).
The CAP 850 GPS is a receiver-independent solution and can be used in conjunction with any satellite-enabled end
device. The CAP converter manages the communication and control of the system and converts the signals received
from the end device into CAP-compliant signals. This enables the fully automatic alignment of the parabolic reflector for
the reception of digital satellite signals.
The turntable is designed for use on parked/stationary caravans or motor homes.
Any use other than that specified above will invalidate the warranty or guarantee.
The following circumstances will result in the loss of warranty and liability claims against the manufacturer:
■improper installation
■use of non-specified mounting materials, which cannot guarantee the mechanical reliability of the camping satellite
antenna system
■unauthorised use, such as using the parabolic mirror as a storage space
■structural changes or interference with the components and mounting accessories of the set, which may endanger
both the mechanical and functional safety
■opening the components improperly or by force
■use of solvent-containing cleaners such as acetone, nitro-thinner, petrol or similar
■non-observance of installation and safety instructions in this manual

Proper Installation and Safety
The system should only be installed by qualified specialist personnel!
►To prevent hazards during installation, operation or when driving on public highways, the instructions
and information in this manual must be strictly adhered to. Proper installation and connection of the
turntable are prerequisites for conformity with the corresponding standards.
►This is documented in advance by the CE mark and the declaration of conformity in the appendix to this
manual.
Essential information
A crucial safety factor is proper performance of installation and electrical connection work, and the specified alignment
of the turntable in the direction of travel (parking position).
►Comply as precisely as possible with the installation conditions and steps described.
Sealing adhesive
The turntable is attached to the vehicle roof by adhesive and is secured by additional screws. The adhesive is not
included. Use a sealing adhesive for automotive applications with a tensile strength (DIN 53505) = 1.8 MPa and a shear
strength (DIN 53283) = 2.5 MPa. We recommend Dekasyl MS-5 Kraftkleber (manufacturer: Deka Kleben & Dichten
GmbH, 63691 Ranstadt, Germany) or Sikaflex-291i (manufacturer: Sika AG, 6341 Baar, Switzerland).
Please refer to the manufacturer‘s safety data sheet and technical data sheet for information on the use of the adhesive.
Risk of material damage due to improper use of the sealing adhesive!
►During installation work, follow the processing and safety instructions of the manufacturer of the sealing
adhesive.
Road Trac Licensing Regulations (StVZO)
The applicable regulations of the German StVZO must be observed in respect of fixed installation of the turntable on a
vehicle which is driven on public highways. In particular, Articles 19/2; 30 C; 32 (2) and EC directive 74/483 EEC are appli-
cable.
Briefly, they state that an entry in the vehicle documents is not required provided that the turntable is at a height of more
than 2 m when the vehicle is loaded and the antenna unit does not protrude beyond the lateral, outer vehicle outline.
The maximum permissible height of 4 m (vehicle and antenna unit) must not be exceeded.
Risk of smouldering fire!
Tying the cables up with a wire or the like could cause a smouldering fire.
►Disentangle and remove any wire or the like. Disconnect the turntable and all the units connected to it
from the power supply during installation/repairs/dismantling.
Trip hazard due to cables!
Crushing or excessively stretching cables can cause a smouldering fire
►Lay cables in such a way that no one can tread on them or trip over them.
Laying and Connecting the Cables
Parasitic induction or interference emissions!
An inappropriate cable or extension cable may cause parasitic induction or interference emissions degra-
ding image quality and interfering with communication with the turntable.
►When extending the antenna cable, use a 75 Ω coaxial cable with a screening factor of at least 75 dB.
►We recommend an extension cable that has at least the electrical characteristics of the Kathrein cable
LCD 89!

9 / 44
Material damage due to reversed polarity!
When connecting the power cables, reversed polarity can lead to thermal overload and damage to compo-
nents when the equipment is powered up.
►Never reverse the poles of the power cables used to connect the CAP converter and the turntable to the
vehicle electrical system.
Supply Voltage, Fusing
Risk of severe injuries due to cable fire!
Removing or bypassing the fuse in the cable can cause cable fire.
► Do not remove or bypass the fuse in the cable.
Material damage due to the absence of a blade fuse in the cable!
►Protect the positive wire (red) of the power supply cable by using a 15 A blade fuse (included).
►The fuse must be installed professionally.
►If the fuse is blown, replace it by a fuse of the same rating (15 A).
►Eliminate the cause of the fault.
To ensure a reliable function of the turntable:
►Operate the turntable on the (12 V) vehicle battery or on a suitable power supply unit. The power supply unit must
ensure a stable output voltage of 12 V, a continuous current of 5 A and 10 A (20 ms) surge current. The short-time
power consumption may be up to a maximum of 7 A (for approx. 5 ms).
►Connect the power supply cable directly to the battery.
The power supply cable is connected to the ignition circuit by means of the wire marked “Zündung” (ignition). This
ensures the automatic lowering of the turntable. The lowering takes place as soon as the vehicle ignition circuit is
turned on.
►When connecting the turntable to the on-board power supply, make sure that the 12 V, earth and ignition wires
cannot be disconnected by switches, as this could deactivate the automatic lowering function.
The turntable is lowered within 5 seconds after the ignition has been switched on, even if the CAP converter is switched
o  .
Checks Before Departure
To ensure a safe journey:
►Always lower the turntable to the horizontal position (parking position) before starting a journey.
►After collision with fixed or moving objects, check if the turntable is still securely attached.
►As the turntable is subject to vibration loads during driving, check the system at regular intervals, depending on the
frequency of operation, to ensure that it is firmly attached and tighten any loose parts.
►Do not exceed the maximum permissible speed of 130 km/h for vehicles with a receiver unit mounted on the roof.
Turntable in Parking Position While Driving
During travel, the turntable must always be lowered to the horizontal position (parking
position). As a reminder, stick the enclosed sticker where you will see it when you start
your vehicle.

►The packaging can be opened in the middle. This gives you better access to the fixing screws after the
unit and the inserts have been removed from the packaging.
►Keep the original packaging: If it is necessary to send the unit for repair, use the original packaging to
prevent transport damage. The manufacturer accepts no liability for possible damage due to insucient
packaging.
1. Loosen the six fastening screws (width across flats: 10 mm).
2. Carefully lift the turntable o the mounting plate and place it on the two wooden beams. Make sure that the cables
are not crushed where they emerge from the underside of the turntable.
Unpacking the turntable
For more information on mounting, see Installing and Connecting the Turntable,p.40.

11 / 44
Installing the Turntable
Selecting the Installation Site
The cable lengths of the supplied components and parts allow free choice of the installation location on the caravan or
motor home.
Observe the following points when selecting the installation location:
►Before installation, find out whether the operating manual for your vehicle permits the installation of non-vehicle-
specific parts or which requirements must be met to do so.
►For good satellite reception, there should be no obstacles between the turntable and the satellite. Make sure that the
turntable is not shaded by roof structures such as roof boxes, air conditioners, solar panels or similar.
►The problem of shading also applies when choosing a parking place for the vehicle. For interference-free satellite
reception, the turntable needs a clear view to the south at an angle of 0° to 65° (depending on location) in relation to
the horizontal plane.
►When selecting the installation position, observe the operating range of the turntable. There should not be any
attachments on the roof within this operating range (risk of collision). To be on the safe side, keep slightly more
than the required area free. This facilitates installation and any subsequent removal (see Required free space on the
roof,p.12).
►Choose an installation position on the roof that is as horizontal as possible or only slightly sloping, depending on the
location of the vehicle, since roof inclinations greater than 5° may lead to problems when searching for the satellite.
To ensure secure adhesion, the height dierence of the roof curve should not be more than 1 cm over a length of 2 m,
as otherwise the gap between the roof and the mounting plate would be too large to be filled by the sealing adhesive.
►As the vehicle is constantly subjected to vibration loads during travel, the roof below the turntable is also subject to
significant loads. Please note, regarding the condition and load capacity of your vehicle roof, that the weight of the
turntable is approx. 11.8 kg (see the operating manual of the vehicle). If in doubt, consult a qualified specialist dealer
or your vehicle’s manufacturer.
►The roof gland provides a watertight seal through which the three cables (2 x coaxial cables and power supply cable)
are fed into the interior of the vehicle directly underneath the turntable. If you prefer a dierent method of laying
the cables, you can run them out from the rear of the turntable via the channel provided in the mounting plate. The
cables must then be run along the roof of the vehicle in a protective cable duct and through a separate roof gland
HDZ 100 (neither of them is included in the scope of delivery).
►The HDZ 100 roof gland is available as an accessory (order no. 20410032) from specialist dealers.

Installing the Cable Gland Underneath the Turntable
If you have previously used a Kathrein HDM 140/141 jointed tripod mast or another mast with a diameter of
34 mm, you can continue using the existing through hole in the roof. There is no need to enlarge this hole,
as the roof gland also requires a borehole of 38 mm diameter.
O-ring Adhesive 1. In the centre of the intended position of the turntable, drill the opening
for the cable gland with a circular drill of 38 mm diameter.
2. Deburr the hole using a round file or emery paper.
3. Insert the roof gland provisionally into the drill hole (see Installing the
cable gland,p.13).
4. Continue with: Installing the Mounting Plate,p.13.
Installing the Cable Gland Outside the Turntable
If a feed-through underneath the turntable, as described in Installing the Cable Gland Underneath the Turn-
table, p. 13, is not possible, you can use our external roof gland HDZ 100 to make an alternative feed-
through.
1. When installing the external roof gland, please observe the HDZ 100 instruction manual. It can be found under
https://www.kathrein-ds.com/support/downloadbereich.
2. Continue with: Installing the Mounting Plate,p.13.
Installing the Mounting Plate
The size of the holes and the choice of fastening screws to be used (not included) depend on the type and
thickness of the materials used in the roof structure. If the roof panelling (plastic roof) is strong enough, it is
recommended to use round head screws, plain washers and self-locking nuts to secure the mounting plate.

The mounting plate should always be screwed and glued on. Alternatively, having a certified specialist dealer
glue on the mounting plate professionally may eliminate the need for screwing it on.
1. Place the mounting plate on the roof of the vehicle so that the centre hole is aligned centrically to the cable gland.
The arrow symbol must be visible from above and point forwards in the direction of travel (see Aligning the moun-
ting plate,p.13).
2. Mark out the positions of the six circularly arranged mounting holes on the vehicle roof.
3. If the roof panel material is very thin and the insulation material does not provide sucient support either, drill
through holes (Ø 5.5 mm) into the interior of the vehicle and use suciently long galvanised M5 round head screws.
Make sure to use a suciently strong counter support that can withstand the bolt loads (large washer or reinforcing
plate).
4. Drill the holes required for fixing the mounting plate (see Fixing the mounting plate,p.13).
5. In addition to screwing on the mounting plate, support and roof gland, glue them onto the roof and seal them. To do
this, use a sealing adhesive which is suitable for this purpose (e.g. DEKAsyl MS power adhesive). Pay attention to the
following:
–Before working with the sealing adhesive, carefully read through the safety data sheet and the technical
data sheet of the sealing adhesive!
–To ensure good adhesion, ensure that the surface is clean, dry and free of grease. Clean the roof surface in a radius
of 35 cm around the borehole with a suitable cleaning agent and allow the surface to dry well.
6. Proceed as follows when gluing on the mounting plate and the support:
–Before starting to work with the sealing adhesive, ensure that the processing temperature of the materials to be
glued together and the sealing adhesive is between +5 °C and +35 °C. Prepare all necessary fastening elements
and tools.
– Prepare the sealing adhesive according to the enclosed instructions.
–Pull out the roof gland (see Installing the cable gland,p.13) and apply the sealing adhesive evenly to the under-
side of the roof gland flange.
– Insert the roof gland into the drilled hole and press it against the vehicle roof.
–Apply the sealing adhesive evenly to the underside of the mounting plate, completely covering the area inside the
circular groove (see Applying adhesive,p.13). Glue this area completely to the vehicle roof to achieve the neces-
sary bonding force.
–Place the mounting plate on the vehicle roof as you did before for marking the drill holes. Make sure that the arrow
on the mounting plate points in the forward direction of the vehicle and that the fastening holes are aligned with
the drilled holes.
– Fasten the mounting plate using the prepared screws, evenly tightening the six screws in a diagonal sequence.
Material damage by overtightening the screws!
The sealing adhesive will fill small gaps resulting from the curvature of the vehicle roof. Applying too
much force when tightening the screws may bend the mounting plate.
►Tighten the screws carefully.
– Use a clean colourless cloth to remove any sealing adhesive leaking from the sides. Pay attention to the following:
○Do not use cleaning agents or thinners containing solvents, as this could damage the sealing adhesive applied
underneath the mounting plate.
○Soak the cloth in acetone or MEK. Test acetone or MEK on an inconspicuous spot first to be sure that it does not
damage the surface.
○ Use only cleansing paste and water to clean your hands.
–Fasten the cable gland. To do this, screw on the enclosed knurled nut from inside the vehicle (see Installing the
cable gland,p.13).
–Note that the curing of the sealing adhesive depends on the ambient temperature and humidity. The final adhe-
sive strength can be found in the data sheet of the sealing adhesive. However, the next installation steps can be
carried out without delay as the mounting plate is held by the screws.

Cable Gland Underneath the Turntable
1. Feed the ends of the cables with the connectors as far as possible through the cable gland into the interior of the
vehicle.
2. Lift the turntable and carefully place it on the mounting plate in the direction of travel (see Cable gland under-
neath,p.15). Do not step on the connectors or kink/crush the cables.
3. Align the through holes in the turntable with the threaded holes in the mounting plate. When lowering the turntable,
make sure that the cables are fed through the cable gland and are not crushed.
4. Apply a little sealing adhesive to the six threaded holes in the mounting plate and screw the fastening screws into
the threads. Tighten the screws to a torque of 6 Nm.
5. To prevent water vapour from inside the vehicle from entering the turntable through the roof gland, insert the three
cables into the enclosed seal, fold it and insert it as far as possible into the roof gland. Make sure that no tensile load
is acting downwards on the seal as this can cause it to fall out over time.

Cable Gland Outside the Turntable
The outer roof gland is designed as follows: The junctions of the three cables from the turntable and the extensions into
the vehicle are arranged in a waterproof housing on the vehicle roof. If necessary, they can be separated again at this
point (see Cable gland outside,p.15).
1. Organise the cables in the cable duct when placing the turntable onto the mounting plate. Untangle them and make
sure that they are taut so that they cannot be crushed.
Material damage due to pulling the cables out of the turntable!
►Do not pull the cables out of the unit.
►Do not install the roof gland in the area of the turntable.
2. Place the turntable carefully on the mounting plate. Make sure that the through holes on the turntable are perfectly
aligned with the threaded holes on the mounting plate.
3. Apply a little sealing adhesive to the six threaded holes in the mounting plate and screw the fastening screws into
the threads. Tighten the screws to a torque of 6 Nm.
4. When feeding the connecting cables through the HDZ 100 roof gland, make sure they are not crushed, kinked or
damaged. Do not lay cables underneath the LNB.

Connecting the Turntable
Damage to cables from sharp edges and chafing points!
►Do not lay cables across sharp edges.
►Protect cables against possible chafing points.
Lay the master coaxial cable (marked red) to the control unit (CAP converter - “Antenna/IF Input“) and the slave coaxial
cable to a second TV with integrated SAT tuner or receiver (if available).
If you are not using a receiver, we recommend that you lay the second slave coaxial cable anyway, so that
you can use it later if necessary.
●Lay the power supply cable of the turntable (3-pin plug) to the battery. Use the supplied power extension cable if
necessary.
●Connect the master coaxial cable to the “Antenna/IF INPUT“ connector on the rear panel of the control unit (CAP
converter). Use the coaxial extension cable if necessary.
●Make sure that all voltage feeds to the individual devices are protected with suitable fuses and have been professio-
nally installed. Make sure that all fuses are intact. If a fuse blows, the source of the fault must first be eliminated. The
fuse may only be replaced by a fuse with the same rating.
Risk of severe injuries due to cable fire!
►Never bypass the fuse in the cable.
Mounting the LNB Arm Support
To ensure that the LNB arm is securely fixed and that no vibrations can occur during travel, the LNB arm is seated on a
support.
1. Select a mounting location for the support (see distances in Mounting the LNB arm support,p.16).
2. Mark the corner points of the support.
3. Apply sealing adhesive (e.g. DEKAsyl MS power adhesive) to both feet of the support and position the support
(proceed as described in: Applying sealing adhesive and attaching the support,p.40)

●At the connecting point for the power cable, the voltage must not fall below 11.5 V even with a higher load. Should
this nevertheless be the case, optimum functioning can no longer be guaranteed.
●Only for motor homes: The third, green core of the connecting cable, marked “ZÜNDUNG” (ignition), allows the
connection to a circuit in the vehicle that is activated when the ignition key is turned and then carries a continuous
12 V supply voltage. This connection ensures that the turntable is automatically lowered to the parking position when
the engine is started (the CAP converter does not have to be turned on for this).
●Make sure that the 15 A fuse was expertly installed to the positive conductor (red) of the power supply cable.

Malfunction and material damage due to reversed polarity!
When connecting the power cables, reversed polarity can lead to thermal overload and damage to compo-
nents when the equipment is powered up. If the earth (-) of the ignition signal and the earth (-) of the vehicle
battery for the turntable do not have the same potential, the automatic lowering of the turntable will not
work!
►To ensure sucient power supply to the automatic turntable, connect the current-carrying wires (red,
black) directly to the vehicle battery.
►In order for the turntable to lower automatically into the parking position, connect the green cable to the
ignition and the black cable to the vehicle battery.
►The supplied fuse must be connected between the positive pole of the battery and the red cable of the
turntable.
►For operation with two batteries, ensure that the earth of the ignition signal has the same potential as
the earth of the vehicle battery for the turntable.
►Never reverse the poles (+ and -) when connecting the power cables (CAP converter and turntable) to the
vehicle electrical system.
Functional Instructions for Connection to the Vehicle Electrical System
Problems may occur if the devices are connected to dierent connection sockets or circuits/earth potentials. It is recom-
mended to connect the connection sockets for the CAP converter to the same cable. Check the current carrying capa-
city of the circuit used with respect to the intended application.
12 V Battery Wiring Diagram
The complete wiring diagram of the CAP 850 GPS (turntable with control unit) can be found under Overall Wiring
Diagram,p.39.
For operation with two batteries, ensure that the earth of the ignition signal has the same potential as the
earth of the supply battery for the turntable. Otherwise, the automatic lowering function will not work! Do
not reverse the polarity of the cable!
To ensure that the GPS data can be read and that the turntable is automatically lowered to the parking posi-
tion, connect the green wire to the ignition and the red and the black wire to the supply voltage.

Reception Range/Footprint
The footprint is the reception area on earth which the satellite covers with its transmission beam (spot) and in which
satellite reception is possible. The transmission power is at its highest in the centre of this spot – it becomes progressi-
vely weaker towards the edges.
Preferably align your turntable with the position of the ASTRA satellites 19.2° East (blue footprint) or EUTELSAT/ HOTBIRD
13° East (red footprint). The spots for these satellites are shown below.
The blue footprint in the picture below shows the entire area covered by the ASTRA satellite with all transponders.

Polarisation Setting
Polarisation Setting Explained
The LNB of the turntable is factory-set to the polarisation setting 0. In this position, you can still receive signals from
satellites with deviations of 15° to 20° 1). For larger deviations it may be useful to set the required polarisation angle by
rotating the LNB.
We expressly point out that positioning the LNB at a deviation of up to +45° or up to -45° from the centre
position only makes sense if a satellite to the far west or the far east is actually to be preferred for reception.
The respective setting angle required for the polarisation can be found in the following table.
