Intended Use
3 Intended Use
The MobiSet4 CAP950 is designed to receive digital TV and radio channels via satellite. The automatic positioner is
intended to be used as a turntable for the Kathrein satellite dish.
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 MobiSet4 CAP950 offers a receiver-independent solution and can be used with any SAT compliant end device. The
CAP converter takes over the communication and control of the system and converts signals received by the end device
to CAP compliant signals. This way, it provides for the fully automatic alignment of the planar antenna to receive digital
satellite signals.
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-specied mounting materials, which cannot guarantee the mechanical reliability of the antenna system
●Impermissible use, e.g. use of the planar antenna 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 thinners, petrol, etc.
●failure to observe installation and safety instructions in this manual

Safety Instructions and General Guidelines
Proper Installation and Safety
The system may be installed only 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 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 specied alignment
of the turntable in the direction of travel (park position), see Chapter 5, p.12.
►Comply as precisely as possible with the installation conditions and steps described.
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 approxi-
mately 2days.
NOTICE
Risk of material damage due to improper use of the adhesive sealant!
►During installation work, comply strictly with the processing and safety instructions for the adhesive
sealant (DEKAsyl MS adhesive sealant safety data sheet and DEKAsyl MS adhesive sealant technical
data sheet).
Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO)
The applicable regulations of the German StVZO must be observed in respect of xed 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
applicable.
Briey, 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 for the vehicle and antenna unit must not be exceeded.

Cables
WARNING
Risk of fire!
If the cables are tied with a wire or the like, it could cause re.
►Remove the wire or the like.
CAUTION
Trip hazard due to cables!
►Lay cables in such a way that no one can tread on them or trip over them.
NOTICE
Risk of parasitic induction or interference emissions!
An inappropriate cable or an extension cable can cause parasitic induction or interference emissions, thus
reducing the picture quality.
►When extending the antenna cable, use a 75Ω coaxial cable with a screening factor of at least 75dB.
NOTICE
Risk of 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.
►When connecting the power cables (CAP converter and turntable) to the vehicle electrical system, make
sure that the poles are not reversed.
Supply Voltage, Fusing
WARNING
Risk of severe injuries due to cable fire!
If you remove or bypass the fuse in the cable, it can cause cable re.
►Do not remove or bypass the fuse in the cable.
NOTICE
Risk of 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.
►The fuse must be installed by a specialist.
►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 connection/control unit:
►Operate the system from your vehicle's battery (12V) or a suitable power supply unit. The power supply unit must
ensure a stable output voltage of 12V, a continuous current of 11A and 15A (300ms) surge current. The short-time
power consumption is up to a maximum of 12A.
►Connect the power supply cable directly to the battery.

10 of 52
Safety Instructions and General Guidelines
Using the cable core marked Ignition,the power supply cable is connected to the ignition current circuit. This way, the
turntable has a function for automatic lowering of the antenna. The lowering takes place as soon as the vehicle ignition
circuit is turned on.
►When connecting the control unit to the on-board power supply, make sure that the 12V, Earth and Ignition wires
cannot be disconnected by intermediate switches, as this could deactivate the automatic lowering function.
The antenna is lowered within 5 seconds of the ignition being switched on, even if the CAP converter is switched off.
The control unit is lowered immediately. Lowering the antenna after the ignition is switched on can take up to
30seconds and it only functions if the turntable is connected to a 12V power supply and to the ignition.
Checks before Commencing a Journey
●Before commencing a journey, always lower the antenna into the horizontal position (park position).
●If the antenna has collided with a xed or movable object, check if the system is still securely attached.
●As the antenna is subjected to vibration loads during driving, check at regular intervals, depending on the frequency
of driving, whether the system is still securely attached and tighten any parts that have worked loose.
●Do not exceed the maximum permissible speed of 130km/h for vehicles with a receiver unit mounted on the roof.
●Lower the antenna if it will not be used for a long period. This makes the securing bolts more difcult to access
(protection against theft).
Antenna in the Park Position whilst Driving
Always lower the antenna into the horizontal position (park position) whilst driving. To remind yourself of
this, place the sticker from the supplementary sheet CAP950 Lowering the antenna while driving in the
visual range of your vehicle ignition switch.

By means of a CAP converter, you can directly control 4 satellite positions with the help of a connected
satellite receiver or a TV3). In order to do so, the sequence of the satellite positions in the TV/ receiver must
correspond to the sequence of the satellite positions in the CAP converter.
The CAP converter has the following default standard settings for satellite positions:
●Satellite 1: Astra 19.2°E
●Satellite 2: Hotbird 13°E
●Satellite 3: Astra 23.5°E
●Satellite 4: Astra 28.2°E
Setting the Satellite Position in the CAP Converter
The satellite positions in the CAP converter can be changed as follows:
●Using the free smartphone/tablet CAPcontrol app (available for Android and iOS)
►To change the satellite position, go to Settings▶Satellite selection in the app.

5.1.3 Selecting the Installation Location
Essentially, the cable lengths and components that are supplied allow you a free choice of installation location on your
caravan or motor home.
When selecting the installation location, take note of the following points:
►Before installation, nd out whether the operating manual for your vehicle permits the tting of non-vehicle-specic
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 attachments such as luggage racks, air conditioning units, solar
panels, etc.
►The problem of shadowing applies also when selecting a parking place for your vehicle. For interference-free satellite
reception, the antenna needs a free view to the south at an angle of between 15° and 55° (depending on location) to
the horizontal.
►When selecting the installation location, take into account the range of movement of the turntable, see Chapter 10,
p.32. There must not be any attachments on the roof that would obstruct this range of movement (risk of collision).
To be on the safe side, keep slightly more than the required area free. This allows for an easier 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 must 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 lled 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 signicant loads. Please note, given the nature and capacity of your vehicle roof, that the weight of the antenna
unit is approx. 19kg, see the operating manual for the vehicle. In case of doubt, consult a qualied specialist dealer
or your vehicle’s manufacturer.
►The roof duct provides a watertight seal through which the three cables (2 x coaxial cables, one 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, 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 duct HDZ100
(neither of them are included in the scope of delivery).
►The HDZ100 roof duct is available as an accessory under part number 20410032 from specialist dealers.
NOTICE
Risk of malfunction or material damage, in particular 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.
►The fuse must be installed by a specialist.
►If the fuse is blown, replace it by a fuse of the same rating (15A).
►Eliminate the cause of the fault.

①Adhesive ②Arrow in the direction of travel
1. In the centre of the intended position of the turntable, drill the opening for the cable gland with a circular cutter of
Ø38 mm .
2. Deburr the hole with a round le or emery paper.

15 of 52
3. Provisionally insert the roof duct into the drilled hole (Fig.A).
4. 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 ③ must be visible from above and point forwards in the direction of travel of the vehicle (Fig.B).
5. Mark the positions of the six fastening holes on the vehicle roof in a pitch circle.
Tip The size of the holes and the choice of fastening screws to be used (not included in the scope of delivery)
depend on the type and thickness of the materials used in the roof structure. If the roof panelling (plastic
roofs) is sufciently strong, it is recommended to always use round head screws, plain washers and self-
locking nuts to secure the glued mounting plate.
6. If the roof panel material is very thin and does not provide adequate holding power within the insulation material,
make through holes of Ø5.5 mm into the interior of the vehicle and use galvanised M5 round head screws of suf-
cient length.
Make sure that you use a sufciently strong support that can withstand the bolt tensile forces (large plain washer or a
complete reinforcing plate).

7. Create the holes necessary to secure the mounting plate (Fig.C).
8. In addition to the screw connection, the mounting plate and roof duct must be bonded to the roof with adhesive and
sealed. This is done using the DEKAsyl MS adhesive sealant supplied, which is ideally suited for this purpose due to
its broad range of adhesion. Please note the following points:
–Before you start working with the DEKAsyl MS adhesive sealant, it is essential that you have carefully read
through the safety data sheet for the DEKAsyl MS adhesive sealant and the technical data sheet in this
installation manual!
–The prerequisite for good adhesive properties is a clean, dry and grease-free substrate. Therefore, clean the
roof surface with a suitable cleaning agent within a circumference of 17cm around the drilled hole and allow the
surface to dry thoroughly.
–If the surface is painted, ensure that the paint nish is sufciently well bonded to the substrate.
–If the coat of paint is already loose or peeling, remove it down to a stable layer in the area to which the adhesive
will bond. If you have any doubts concerning the adhesive properties, consult a paint and lacquer specialist or the
manufacturer of your vehicle.
9. The procedure for gluing the mounting plate is as follows:
Fig.D

16 of 52
Installation and Connection
–Ensure before starting adhesive work that the processing temperature of materials to be glued and the adhesive
sealant is between +5°C and +35°C. Prepare all necessary fastening elements and tools.
–Prepare the tube of adhesive sealant in accordance with the instructions enclosed with the tube.
–Remove the roof duct (Fig.A) and apply the adhesive sealant evenly to the underside of the roof duct ange.
–Place the roof duct in the drilled hole and press it rmly 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 onto 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 forwards in the direction of travel of the vehicle and that
the fastening holes are 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.
NOTICE
Risk of material damage due to applying too much force when tightening the screws!
The adhesive sealant used is capable of lling small gaps caused by the curvature of the vehicle roof. If you
apply too much force when tightening the screws, the mounting plate could be bent.
►Tighten the screws carefully.
–Use a clean colourless cloth to remove any adhesive sealant that leaks out at the sides. Pay attention to the
following:
~Do not use any cleaning agents or thinners containing solvents, as this could damage the adhesive sealant
applied under the mounting plate.
~It is recommended to soak the cloth in acetone or MEK. Apply the cloth soaked in acetone or MEK to an incon-
spicuous area to make sure that it does not adversely affect or damage the surface.
~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.
The nal strength is reached only after approx.2days. However, this need not restrict further installation work,
since the mounting plate is held in place by the tightened screws.
5.1.5 Possibilities of the Turntable Installation
Variant with Cable Gland underneath the Turntable
1. Lay the cables supplied with the turntable (2 × coax cables and 1 x power supply cable) into the mounting plate as
indicated by the markings on the mounting plate (see Fig.E1).
2. Feed the remaining lengths of cable through the roof gland into the interior of the motor home / caravan.
3. Lift up the turntable and place it carefully on the mounting plate facing in the direction of travel (see Fig.E2). Make
sure not to step on the plug connector and not to kink / crush the cables.
4. Align the through holes on the turntable with the threaded holes on the mounting plate.
5. Allow the turntable to rest on the front edge of the mounting plate.
6. Keep the turntable supported at an angle (see Fig.E1) and insert a suitable piece of wood underneath it.
7. Lay and connect the turntable cables in the mounting plate as indicated on the mounting plate, see Fig. E1. Take
particular care that the two master coaxial cables, marked red, are connected to each other.
8. Tighten the coaxial cable plugs nger-tight, using no tools.
9. Tighten the coaxial cable plugs lightly using an open-ended 11 AF spanner.
10.Lower the turntable back on to the mounting plate. Make sure that the cables are fed through the cable gland and are
not snagged.
11.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.
12.To prevent water vapour from inside the vehicle reaching the turntable through the roof gland, thread the three cables

17 of 52

8. Place the mounting plate on the roof gland and secure it with
the appropriate screws (choose screws according to thickness/
structure of roof).
9. Screw the turntable onto the mounting plate using the
torque wrench.
NOTICE
Risk of material damage due to an inadmissible
tightening torque!
If the torque is too high,it can destroy the thread in the
mounting plate. If the torque is too low, the screws
can unscrew due to vibrations.
►Comply with the tightening torque of 6Nm.
10. Make the electrical connections.
11. Connect the CAP converter.
12. Connect the turntable to the battery.
5.2 Installing and Connecting the CAP Converter
5.2.1 Selecting an Installation Location
Tip When choosing the installation location, bear in mind that the rear of the CAP converter should always be
accessible. The CAP converter is equipped with a power saving circuit, which means that you do not have
to place it where it is visible. Therefore, you can t the CAP converter out of sight in any location, e.g. on
cupboard walls, side walls or the base of storage compartments.
With the help of the four screw sockets (see Preparing the CAP Converter for Installation,p.22) it is possible
to install the CAP converter on a solid even base or to screw it in any position.
When selecting an installation location, pay attention to the following:
●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 or similar behind or in the wall.
●The CAP converter is designed for installation in exclusively dry, interior locations.
●Take into account the cable lengths.
●The connecting cables must be provided with strain reliefs.
