1.2 Safety precautions
Read the installation instructions carefully before you start to install the system.
Caution:
The equipment is sensitive. Never pull on the antenna arm. Do not manually lift or turn the antenna arm, as it
must only be moved via the motor. Only lift it by the plastic shield or the aluminium plate. The screws of the
housing must only be undone by the system manufacturer.
Caution:
Never reach into the area of the antenna unit while it is moving!
Information on the operation of the system on camper trailers:
The 12-V power supply provided by the power converters installed in camper trailers as standard equipment is
often not reliable enough for the operation of the satellite system. For the operation of the system with camper
trailers we recommend to use the power converter available from us.
To ensure that your satellite system works properly, it is essential that it is correctly connected to the ignition
of your vehicle (see page 12, Wiring diagram).

1. GENERAL INFORMATION
When correctly installed, the antenna automatically returns to and locks into its park position when the ignition
is switched on. If the system cannot fully or completely retract due to a fault, then it is your responsibility as ve-
hicle operator to check and make sure that the antenna is correctly and completely retracted before driving off.
The antenna retracts automatically when the ignition is switched on. Reactivating the antenna requires the
"Oyster® TV" Premium system to be rebooted (switch the system off and back on).

Road traffic regulations stipulate that the vehicle operator must verify the vehicle's roadworthiness before
each use. This requires the operator to perform a visual inspection of the external unit to make sure that it is
fully retracted.
Please also note that different legal requirements apply to the operation of electrical and electronic equipment in
different countries. As the user of this equipment, you are responsible for ensuring compliance with the relevant
laws and regulations.
STOP FUNCTION VIA THE CONTROL PANEL AND ISOLATION FROM OPERATING VOLTAGE DURING SERVICE WORK
The Sat button on the control panel stops the motion of the antenna.
When servicing the antenna system, make sure that the entire system is isolated from operating voltage.

2. INSTALLATION PREPARATION
2.1. Preparation
Before starting the installation, ensure that the roof of your vehicle is sufficiently sturdy. Ensure that the permis-
sible roof load of your vehicle is not exceeded when installing the system and accessing the roof.
If the roof is not strong enough, or if you are in any doubt, attach a 3-mm sheet-metal panel of 100 x 100 cm to
the outer skin of the roof to improve stability. Check with the vehicle manufacturer.
Make sure that there is enough space for the system when it is folded down and for the action radius (pivoting
radius).
Note that the direction of travel must be observed when mounting the system (see pictures on the following
pages). The system must retract toward the rear end of the vehicle, and the wiring connection of the system must
point toward the rear end of the vehicle.

3. INSTALLATION
Attaching the mounting plate
Once you have determined the final installation position of the system and you have checked again that it is
correctly positioned in relation to the direction of travel (system retracting towards the rear of the vehicle, cable
outlet pointing towards the rear of the vehicle), mark the corner points of the mounting plate.
Next, undo the four retaining nuts and lift the system off the mounting plate. The mounting plate is bonded to
the roof of the vehicle using commercially available highly adhesive body sealing compound and is then secured
by screws, if required. Please use a special cleaning agent to clean the mounting plate and roof as recommended
by the manufacturer of the body sealing compound (e.g. Sikaflex, Teroson 1K-Pur, Würth 'Klebt und Dichtet').
Once the cleaner has dried off, apply the sealing compound to the underside of the mounting plate. Fit the
mounting plate to the roof. If required, secure additionally with the self-tapping screws provided (see drawing).
Take note of the manufacturer’s instructions regarding processing and curing of the adhesive sealing compound
before moving the vehicle! If these times cannot be observed for any reason, the mounting must be additionally
secured by screws.

3.2 Mounting the external unit
Place the external unit on the mounting plate with the connector housing and the cable outlet of the external
unit pointing towards the rear of the vehicle. Install the 4 nuts and attach the small covers. An installation in any
other position is not permitted and will cause the warranty to be invalidated. If the mounting plate is positioned
correctly, the wiring outlet must point towards the rear of the vehicle.
ATTACHING THE THREADED ELBOW FITTING (CABLE FEED-THROUGH)
The threaded elbow fitting on the roof must be located with the cable inlet pointing to the rear of the
vehicle, thus protecting it against splash water.
To make the routing of the cables inside the vehicle easier, the distance between the elbow fitting and the con-
trol panel and the receiver should be as short as possible.

3. INSTALLATION
a) Fabricate a hole of 20 to 30 mm in diameter in the roof for the wiring feed-through.
Threaded elbow
ø 20-30 mm
b) Route the wiring tidily on the roof of the vehicle e.g. using a piece of wiring trunking and guide the wiring
coming out of the threaded elbow fitting downwards to the control panel.
c) The small mounting plate of the threaded elbow fitting is bonded to the roof of the vehicle using commercially
available body sealing compound and is then secured to the roof with screws. Please use a special cleaning
agent to clean the mounting plate and roof as recommended by the manufacturer of a highly adhesive body
sealing compound (e.g. Sikaflex, Teroson 1K-Pur, Würth 'Klebt und Dichtet'). Once the cleaner has dried off,
apply the sealing compound to the underside of the mounting plate. After fitting the mounting plate, secure
it to the roof using the 4 supplied self-tapping screws.

3. INSTALLATION
3.3 Power supply
1. A sufficient power supply of the system must be ensured
a) The system must be connected to the 12-V or 24-V onboard electric system.
b) The minimum cross-section of the wires connecting the satellite system to the power supply is 2.5 mm². For
wiring lengths above 6 meters, a cross-section of 4.0 mm² is required.
c) A connection to an existing line of the vehicle's electric system is usually not a sensible option. The wire
cross-sections are often insufficient, and/or the line may already be feeding other consumers such as TV sets.
The available voltage may then be insufficient.
d) We recommend installing a dedicated power line from the battery to the system.
The fuse protection (battery side) of this line must be between 10 and 20 Amps.
2. Power supply in camper trailers
In camper trailers, a reliable or battery-supported 12-V power supply is often not available. In this case, the
system must be supplied with power from the mains grid via a suitable 220 V/12 V power converter.
Do not use any battery chargers, simple transformers or unregulated power converters. Only electronically reg-
ulated fixed-voltage converters with a rated voltage of 13.8 V and a minimum continuous power output of 6
Amps must be used.
We recommend using the power converter available from us.

3.5 Safety circuit
To prevent damage from driving with the external unit unfolded, the black cable of the FeatureBox' power supply
must be connected to terminal 15. A line connected to terminal 15 is live when the ignition is switched on and
carries no voltage when the ignition is switched off. The antenna will retract automatically when the ignition
is switched on.
When the ignition is switched on, the antenna will not open.
Note:
For this connection, use only a switched positive line, do not use the D-positive line of the alternator. The
D-positive line of many vehicles does not provide a reliable direct current. Also, this line does not provide the
nominal voltage of 12 Volts instantly, but the voltage may only rise slowly. This may affect the function of the
FeatureBox processor.

4. REMOVAL
4.1 Removing the system
The removal of the exterior unit requires a 13-mm open-end spanner. The supply line does not need to be re-
moved.
Proceed as follows:
• Remove the four M8 nuts securing the base plate to the mounting plate. Lift off the system.
• Disconnect the satellite cable by rotating the connector counter-clockwise.
• The system can now be removed.
