PROPER USE
The MobiSet 3 Twin CAP 720 is designed to receive digital TV and radio programs via satellite.
The automatic positioner is intended to be used as a turntable for the parabolic reflector.
The turntable can be used to receive digital TV and radio signals in the frequency range from 10.70 to
12.75 GHz; the antenna cannot receive terrestrial signals (e.g. DVB-T).
The turntable can only be used in conjunction with the UFS 940sw/740sw DVB-S receiver on the
master cable.
In conjunction with these receivers, the turntable provides fully automatic alignment of the parabolic
reflector to receive digital satellite signals. In addition, any conventional digital satellite receiver
can be connected to the slave cable. The turntable is designed for use on stationary caravans or
motor homes.
Any use other than that specified above will invalidate the warranty or guarantee.
The following circumstances result in the loss of all warranty and liability claims towards
the manufacturer:
• Improper installation
• Use of non-specified mounting materials, which cannot guarantee the mechanical reliability of the
antenna system
• Impermissible use, e.g. use of the reflector dish for storage
• Structural changes or interference with the components and mounting accessories in the set, which
could endanger both the mechanical and functional reliability
• Improper or forcible opening of the components
• Use of cleaners containing solvents, such as acetone, nitro-cellulose combination thinners, petrol etc.
• Failure to observe installation and safety instructions in this manual
Note: The maximum permissible speed for vehicles with a CAP 720 receiver unit mounted
on the roof is 130 km/h. Before commencing a journey, the satellite dish must always be
lowered into horizontal position (park position).
The turntable may be operated in an ambient temperature range of -20 °C to +45 °C.
Operating the system outside this range may result in malfunctions or damage to
the system. When choosing the location for installation or raising the UFS 940sw,
ensure there is adequate ventilation.
PROPER USE (USE FOR THE INTENDED PURPOSE)
The system may 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 system are pre-requisites 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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Safety during installation work
When carrying out installation work in locations where there is a risk of falling, take appropriate
safety precautions, e.g. use of a working platform. Make sure that the vehicle roof is sufficiently
strong and stable to carry out the installation work (risk of damage or collapsing of roof).
In case of doubt, contact a qualified specialist dealer or the manufacturer of your vehicle to find
an appropriate installation location.
Make sure that:
- The turntable and connected units are disconnected from the power supply
- The person carrying out the installation or repair does not suffer from vertigo and can move around
safely on the roof of the caravan or motor home
- The person carrying out the installation or repair is wearing sturdy and non-slip shoes
- The person carrying out the installation or repair has a secure position to stand and hold on while
working
- The roof and the climbing equipment used (e.g. ladder) are dry, clean and non-slip
- The roof can withstand the weight of the person carrying out the repairs
Caution! Risk of death or injury due to falling or the roof collapsing!
- Nobody should be inside the caravan/motor home underneath the antenna during dismantling/
installation
Caution! Risk of death or injury due to possible roof collapsing and falling parts!
Proper installation and safety
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 (park position), see also installation and
connection.
Comply as precisely as possible with the installation conditions and steps described.
Modifications to the electrical installations in the vehicle should only be carried out by a specialist in
vehicle electrics. Do not make any unauthorised changes to the turntable.
Adhesive sealant
The turntable is attached to the roof of the vehicle by adhesive and is secured by additional screws.
Note that the curing of the adhesive sealant is temperature-dependent. It reaches its full strength only
after approximately five days.
During installation work, comply strictly with the processing and safety instructions
for the adhesive sealant (Sikaflex®291i safety data sheet and Sikaflex®291i technical
data sheet).

8
Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO)
The applicable regulations of the StVZO must be observed in respect of fixed installation of the turntable on
a vehicle which is driven on public highways.
In particular, §§ 19/2; 30 C; 32 (2) and the EC directive 74/483 EEC are applicable.
Briefly, they state that no endorsement of the vehicle documentation is required unless the antenna unit
causes the height of the laden vehicle to exceed 2 m, or the antenna unit projects beyond the outer lateral
outline of the vehicle. The maximum permissible height of 4 m (vehicle and antenna unit) may not be
exceeded.
There is an increased risk of accidents if the normal vehicle height is increased by
extending the antenna. The driver bears sole responsibility for the condition of the
superstructure and external fittings!
Cables
Lay all cables such that nobody can tread on them or trip over them.
To prevent parasitic induction or interference emissions, when extending the antenna cable use 75 Ωcoaxial
cable with a screening factor of at least 75 dB.
If you tied the cables together with wire or similar materials, remove this to prevent
the risk of fire!
When connecting the power cables (receiver and turntable) to the vehicle electrical supply, make sure that
the cable polarity is not reversed.
If the cable polarity is reversed there is a risk of thermal overload and damage to
components when the equipment is powered up!
Power supply, fusing
Operate the system from your vehicle's battery (12 V) or a suitable mains power supply unit. This mains
power supply unit must ensure a stable output voltage of 12 V, continuous current of 11Aand 15A (300 ms)
surge current.
The peak current consumption is up to a maximum of 12 A.
To ensure reliable functioning of the connection/control unit, the power supply cable must be connected
directly to the battery. If the supply voltage is too low, the UFS 940sw receiver indicates this with the
on-screen message “On-board voltage too low!” on the television screen.
A 15 A fuse is incorporated in the power supply cable. If the fuse blows, rectify the source of the fault
and replace the blown fuse with a fuse of the same rating (15 A).
Never remove or bypass the fuse in the cable – cable fire hazard!
Connecting the power supply cable lead marked “Ignition” activates the turntable function for automatic
lowering of the antenna. This lowering takes place as soon as the vehicle ignition circuit is turned on. When
connecting the control unit to the vehicle power supply, make sure that the “+12V”, “Earth” and “Ignition”
wires cannot be disconnected by intermediate switches, as this could deactivate the automatic lowering
function.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - IMPORTANT INFORMATION

9
Safety precautions during operation
During operation of the turntable, make sure that no persons, in particular children,
are in the immediate vicinity of the turntable and that they cannot touch any
moving parts – crush hazard!
Always unplug the power supply during installation work.
The antenna will be lowered within 12 seconds of the ignition being switched on
(if the unit is in stand-by mode or the UFS 940sw is switched off). Otherwise the
control unit that is in use is lowered immediately.
Important: Lowering the antenna can take up to 30 seconds after the ignition is switched on and
operates only if the turntable is connected to the 12-V power supply and to the ignition
switch!
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Checks before commencing a journey
• Before commencing a journey, the antenna must always be lowered into horizontal position (park
position). If the antenna has collided with a fixed or movable object, check that it is still securely
attached.
• As the antenna is subjected to vibration loads during driving, you should check at regular intervals,
depending on the frequency of driving, that the system is still securely attached and tighten any parts
that have worked loose.
• The maximum permissible speed for vehicles with a receiver unit mounted on the roof and the antenna
lowered is 130 km/h.
• Lower the antenna if it will not be used for a long period. This makes the securing bolts more difficult
to access (protection against theft).
Antenna in the park position whilst driving
The antenna must always be lowered into horizontal position (park position) while driving.
As a reminder, attach the sticker from the supplementary sheet “Lower the CAP 720 antenna
while driving” where it can easily be seen by the person operating the ignition switch.
In addition the instructions in the installation and operating manuals for these
devices and for the attachments and superstructures must be complied with at all
times!
Exceeding the normal vehicle height by failing to lower the antenna increases the
risk of accidents! The driver is responsible for the condition of external fittings
on the vehicle!
If stormy weather is expected, the turntable must always be moved to the park
position, otherwise both the CAP 720 and the vehicle may be damaged.

REQUIRED TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
The CAP 720 must not be carried on the satellite
dish, since this can cause the dish to distort. Keep
the CAP 720 in its cardboard box for transport on
to the vehicle roof.
Retain the original packaging, as if it is necessary
to send the unit for repair transport damage cannot
be ruled out and the manufacturer accepts no
liability for possible damage.
Loosen the six fastening screws (width A/F:
10 mm). Carefully lift the turntable off the mounting
plate and place it on the prepared wooden
supports. Make sure that the cables are not
crushed where they emerge from the underside of
the turntable.
UNPACKING AND PREPARATION
Essentially, the cable lengths of the MobiSet 3 Twin CAP 720 components allow you a free choice of
installation location on your caravan or motor home.
However, you should take note of the following points:
• Before installation, you should find out whether the operating manual for your vehicle permits the fitting
of non-vehicle-specific parts or what requirements need to be met in order to do so.
• For direct satellite reception, there should be no obstructions between the antenna and the satellite.
Therefore, make sure that the antenna is not shadowed by roof extensions such as luggage racks,
air conditioning units, solar panels, etc. The problem of shadowing applies also to the selection of the
parking place for your vehicle. For interference-free satellite reception, the antenna needs a projected
free view to the South at an angle of between 0° and 75° (depending on location) to the horizontal.
SELECTING THE INSTALLATION LOCATION
The CAP 720 packaging can be opened along
both long sides. This allows easier access to the
fastening screws.

11
• When selecting the installation position, take into account the range of movement of the turntable
(see graphics and the “Technical Data” chapter). There must be no structures on the roof that would
obstruct this range of movement (risk of collision). For safety, keep at least the required area free
(for ease of installation and any subsequent dismantling).

• 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 difference of the roof curve may 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 great to be
filled by the adhesive sealant.
• As the vehicle is constantly subjected to vibration loads during travel, the roof below the antenna unit
is also subject to significant loads. Please note given the nature and capacity of your vehicle roof
(see also operating manual for the vehicle) that the weight of the antenna unit is approx. 9.7 kg.
In case of doubt, consult a qualified dealer or your vehicle’s manufacturer.
• The roof gland provides a watertight seal through which the three connecting cables (coax cable and
power supply cable) are fed into the interior of the vehicle directly underneath the turntable. If you
prefer a different method of laying the cables, they can be run 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 HDZ 100 roof gland (neither supplied).
• The HDZ 100 roof gland is available as an accessory under part number 20410032 from specialist
dealers.
Note: Do not cut the cables short, as otherwise the proper functioning of the unit can no longer be
guaranteed.
• In the centre of the intended position of the turntable, drill the opening for the cable gland with a circular
cutter (Ø: 38 mm). Deburr the hole with a round file or emery paper.
• Provisionally insert the roof gland into the drilled hole (Fig. A).
Figure: A
Note: If you had previously used a Kathrein HDM140/141 flexible satellite mast or another mast
with a diameter of 34 mm, you can continue using the existing gland hole in the roof
(if space allows).

• Mark out the positions of the six fastening holes on the roof of the vehicle in a circular pattern.
Note: The size of the holes and the choice of fastening screws to be used (not supplied) depend
on the type and thickness of the materials used in the roof structure. If the roof panelling
(plastic roofs) is sufficiently strong, it is recommended that round head screws, plain
washers and self-locking nuts are always used to secure the glued mounting plate.
Figure: B
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
• For very thin roof panel materials and insufficient support in the insulating material, through holes
(Ø: 5.5 mm) into the interior of the vehicle are necessary; galvanised M5 round head screws of
sufficient length should then be used.
Make sure that you use a sufficiently strong support that can accept the screw tensile forces (large
plain washers or a complete reinforcing plate).
Figure: C
*) Not included
• Place the mounting plate on the roof of the vehicle, such that the centre hole is positioned centrally to
the cable gland. The arrow symbol must be visible from above and point forwards in the direction of
travel (Fig. B).

• Create the holes necessary to secure the mounting plate (Fig. C).
• In addition to the screwed connection, the mounting plate and roof gland must be bonded to the roof with
adhesive and sealed. This is done using the Sikaflex®291i adhesive sealant supplied, which is ideally
suited for this purpose thanks to its broad range of adhesion.
Before starting to use Sikaflex®291i adhesive sealant, be sure to read the Sikaflex®Products safety
data sheet and technical data sheet in this installation manual!
The prerequisite for good adhesive characteristics is a clean, dry and grease-free substrate. You should
therefore clean the roof surface with a suitable cleaning agent within a circumference of 35 cm around the
drilled hole and allow the surface to dry thoroughly.
If the surface is painted, ensure that the paint finish is sufficiently well bonded to the substrate.
If the coat of paint is already loose or peeling, it must be removed down to a stable layer in the area to
which the adhesive will bond. If you have any doubts concerning the adhesive characteristics, consult a
paint and lacquer specialist, or the manufacturer of your vehicle.
Under certain circumstances, it may be necessary for you to improve the adhesive properties of the roof
surface by pre-treatment with a cleaning agent available from specialist dealers (e.g. Sika®Cleaner) or a
primer (e.g. Sika®Primer).
The procedure for gluing the mounting plate is as follows:

• Ensure before starting adhesive work that the temperature of materials to be glued and the adhesive
sealant is between +5 °C and +40 °C. Prepare all necessary fasteners and tools.
• Prepare the tube of adhesive sealant in accordance with the instructions enclosed with the tube.
• Remove the roof gland (Fig.A) and apply the adhesive sealant evenly to the underside of the roof gland
flange.
Replace the roof gland in the drilled hole and press it firmly against the roof of the vehicle.
• Apply the adhesive sealant evenly to the underside of the mounting plate, completely covering the area
within the circular groove (Fig. D).
This area of the vehicle roof must be completely coated with adhesive in order to achieve the necessary
bonding force.
Place the mounting plate on the roof of the vehicle, as you did previously when marking out the drilled
holes.
Make sure that the arrow on the mounting plate points forward in the direction of travel.
The fastening holes must be perfectly aligned with the prepared holes in the roof.
• Fasten the mounting plate in place with the prepared screws, evenly tightening six screws across the
diagonals.
Note: The adhesive sealant used is capable of filling small gaps caused by the curvature of the
vehicle's roof. However, you should ensure that the mounting plate is not bent by tightening
the screws.
• Remove any adhesive sealant that leaks out at the sides with a clean cloth or if necessary with
Sikaflex®Remover (available from specialist dealers). Do not use cleaning agents or thinners
containing solvents, as this could damage the adhesive sealant applied under the mounting plate.
Use only cleansing paste and water to clean your hands.
• Secure the cable gland from inside the vehicle by tightening the ribbed nut supplied (Fig. A).
• Note that the curing of the adhesive sealant depends on the ambient temperature and the humidity.
Final strength is reached only after approx. five days. However, this need not restrict further
installation work, since the mounting plate is held in place by the tightened screws.
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
VARIANT WITH CABLE GLAND UNDERNEATH THE TURNTABLE
• Feed the ends of the cables with the connectors as far as possible through the cable gland into the
interior of the vehicle.

Figure: E
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
• Lift up the turntable and place it carefully on the mounting plate facing in the direction of travel
(see illustration Fig. E) (do not step on the plug connector and do not kink/crush the cables!).
The through holes on the turntable must be perfectly aligned with the threaded holes on the mounting
plate. When lowering, make sure that the cables are fed through the cable gland and are not crushed.
• Apply a little adhesive sealant to the six threaded holes in the mounting plate and screw the fastening
screws into the thread. Tighten the screws to a torque of 6 Nm.
• To prevent water vapour from inside the vehicle reaching the turntable through the roof gland, thread the
three cables through the sealing gasket supplied (see Fig. E) and insert this into the roof gland until it
reaches the stop. Make sure that no tensile load is acting downwards on the sealing gasket as this can
cause it to fall out in the course of time.

VERSION WITH EXTERNAL CABLE GLAND (FIG. F)
• The external roof gland is arranged so that it forms a water-tight enclosure on the vehicle roof around the
point where the three cables projecting from the turntable are connected to the extension cables within
the interior of the vehicle, and where if necessary they can be disconnected.
• Arrange the cables in the cable duct when placing the turntable on to the mounting plate. Make sure
that the cables are not crossed over and that they are taut so that they cannot be crushed. Do not
try to pull the cables from the unit. This could damage the cables or loosen the cable connections.
• Place the turntable carefully on the mounting plate. The through holes on the turntable must be
perfectly aligned with the threaded holes on the mounting plate.
• Apply a little adhesive sealant to the six threaded holes in the mounting plate and screw the fastening
screws into the thread. Tighten the screws to a torque of 6 Nm.
• When feeding the cables through the HDZ 100 roof gland, make sure they are not crushed, kinked or
damaged.

INSTALLATION OF THE UFS 940SW
The four screw sockets provided (see diagram on the next page) allow you to install the receiver not
only resting on a shelf but also to fix it there or in other positions.
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
Note: When choosing the installation location, bear in mind that the rear of the unit should always
be accessible. The UFS 940sw is equipped with a power saving circuit and a separate
infrared transmitter, which means that the unit does not need to be placed where it is visible.
You can therefore fit the UFS 940sw out of sight in any location, e.g. on cupboard walls,
side walls or the base of storage compartments.
In addition, the following points should be taken into account:
• The wall thickness at the installation location must be at least 15 mm, as otherwise the screws will
break through on the other side or damage the surface
• Ensure that the cupboard or storage compartment in which the unit is housed is adequately ventilated,
to prevent a build up of heat. Carpet-covered walls are unsuitable for installation
• Take care when tightening the screws not to damage any cables etc. behind or in the wall
• The receiver is designed for installation in exclusively dry, interior locations. The installation location
must be protected against moisture
• The cable lengths must be taken into account when choosing the installation location
