3 Proper Use
3.1 Proper use (use for the intended purpose)
The MobiSet 4 CAP 920 is designed to receive digital TV and radio programs 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 turntable can only be operated in conjunction with the UFS 946/CI+ (or UFS 740 and UFS 940)
DVB-S receiver.
In conjunction with this receiver, the turntable provides fully automatic alignment of the satellite dish to
receive digital satellite signals. The turntable is designed for use on stationary caravans or motor homes.

Proper installation and safety
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alsoinstallationandconnection.
Comply as precisely as possible with the installation conditions and steps described.
Modications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.

Safety Instructions – Important Notes
RoadTrafcLicensingRegulations(StVZO)
TheapplicableregulationsoftheGermanStVZOmustbeobservedinrespectofxedinstallationoftheturn-
table 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lat-
eraloutlineofthevehicle.Themaximumpermissibleheightof4m(vehicleandantennaunit)maynotbe
exceeded.
Warning
 Thereisanincreasedriskofaccidentsifthenormalvehicleheightisincreasedbyextend-
ing the antenna. The driver bears sole responsibility for the condition of the superstructure
andexternalttings!
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Ωcoax-
ial cable with a screening factor of at least 75 dB.
Warning
If you tied the cables together with wire or similar materials, remove this to prevent the risk
ofre!
When connecting the power cables (receiver and turntable) to the vehicle electrical supply, make sure that
the cable polarity is not reversed.
Important
If the cable polarity is reversed there is a risk of thermal overload and damage to compo-
nentswhentheequipmentispoweredup!
Power supply, fusing
Operatethesystemfromyourvehicle'sbattery(12V)orasuitablepowersupplyunit.Thispowersupplyunit
must ensure a stable output voltage of 12 V, a continuous current of 11A and 15 A (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 946/CI+ 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).
Warning
 Neverremoveorbypassthefuseinthecable–cablerehazard!
Connecting the power supply cable lead marked "Ignition" activates the turntable function for automatic low-
ering of the antenna. This lowering takes place as soon as the vehicle ignition circuit is turned on. When con-
nectingthecontrolunittothevehiclepowersupply,makesurethatthe“12V”,“Earth”and“Ignition”wires

9 from 56
cannot be disconnected by intermediate switches, as this could deactivate the automatic lowering function.
Important
Theantennaisloweredapprox.5secondsaftertheignitioncircuitisturnedon!.Precondi-
tions: The TV set is in standby mode, the receiver has been switched off, the power supply
to the turntable has not been cut off.
 Otherwisethecontrolunitthatisinuseisloweredimmediately.Loweringtheantennacan
takeupto30seconds(aftertheignitionisswitchedon)!
Warning
Danger of injury, especially of crushing.
●During operation of the turntable, make sure that no persons, and in particular chil-
dren, are in the immediate vicinity of the turntable and that they cannot touch any mov-
ing parts.
●Always unplug the power supply during installation work.
Important
Risk of damage to property.
● 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ttingsonthevehicle!
●The instructions in the installation and operating manuals for these devices and for the
extensionsandsuperstructuresmustabsolutelybeheededaswell.
●If there is a warning of a storm it is essential to bring the turntable into the park position.
OtherwisetheCAP920andalsothevehiclecouldbedamaged.
Checks before commencing a journey
●Before commencing a journey, the antenna must always be lowered into horizontal position (park posi-
tion).Iftheantennahascollidedwithaxed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is130km/h.
● 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
