2) Accomodate the cables into a protection raceway up to the point where the cables go
into the vehicle, using the suitable supplied fairlead.
Seal the fairlead carefully so as to
prevent any infiltration by water
Connection with extension
WARNING The Grey and Black cables coming out of the Outside Unit are generally long
enough to allow for connection to the Control Unit. If it is not so, use the extension cables
and perform the following operations:
1) Connect the two cables coming from the centre of the OUTSIDE UNIT to the two supplied
extensions, waterproofing the connectors using the two pieces of heat-shrinking tube.
Caution:
to ensure ideal nut tightening and
prevent possible pin breaks,
tighten the nut with a torque
wrench set to 8 Newtons/metre
2) Fasten the external powered unit to the four stud
bolts of the plate, using the four nuts supplied with
the equipment.

Note: Install the wall-mounted control unit with the (Grey and Black) connection cables
bent as shown in the picture. This installation tip will prevent any condensation water from
flowing down the cables into your control unit electronics - damaging it beyond repair and
voiding your warranty.
Control Unit
Control Unit Installation
1) Position the Control Unit in an easy accessible, ventilated compartment.
WARNING:
Do not install the Control Unit in areas where liquids can be spilled, since this could
cause irreparable damage.
Do not install the Control Unit in very small, unventilated compartments, since
overheating could compromise its functionality and render the warranty null and void.
2) Place the control board comando in an easily accessible, visible position.
3) Install the connection cables (Grey and Black) until you reach the

Connection diagrams
1) Connect the grey cable (motors) to the MOTOR UNIT connector and the white coaxial
cable (antenna) to the LNB connector of the Control Unit.
2) Connect the BLACK cable of the Control Unit to the NEGATIVE POLE of the vehicle 12
Volt Battery and the RED cable to the POSITIVE POLE + (remember not to mix
the + and - poles up), using 2 cables of 2.5 mm2 cross section.
3) The GREEN safety cable of the Control Unit must be connected to Pin 15 of the vehicle
ignition key cylinder (D+). In this way, whenever the engine is started, this cable receives
a positive +12 Vdc voltage, which will automatically lower the antenna and lock all functions
of the Control Unit simultaneously.
4) Connecting the Decoder
a) Use a coax cable to connect the RECEIVER connector of the Control Unit to the
DVB-S2 input of the TV.
b) Use the RCA - Mini AV cable to connect the Video TV connector of the Control Unit to
the RCA - Mini AV input of the TV.
c) Use the jack-jack cable to connect the " IR TV " connector of the Control Unit to the " IR
Extender " connector of the TV

WARNING:
The 3-way power connector (P) must only be
inserted in the 12 Vdc POWER socket.
Inserting this connector in any other socket
will cause irreparable damage to the board
and render the warranty null and void.
The GREEN safety cable of the Control
Unit must be connected to the
consensus of the vehicle startup
console (in many cases such
consensus is located on Pin 15 in the
main terminal board). In this way,
whenever the motor is started, this
cable receives a positive + 12 Vdc
voltage, which will automatically lower
the antenna and lock all functions of
the Control Unit simultaneously.

WARNING This technical note is to call the attention of the installation personnel
to certain details of Flat Sat Elegance Smart installation. During installation, you must
take the following precautions:
The power supply cable must directly come from the battery and must have no junctions.
Minimum cross section of the cable is 2,5 mm2. For cable lengths equal to or above 6 metres,
the minimum cross-section is 4 mm2. Only the Flat Sat Elegance Smart must be connected
to this cable; all the other devices must be connected to another power supply cable. The
cable connecting the driving unit to the Flat Sat Elegance Smart Control Unit must NEVER
be cut for any reason whatsoever: should the cable turn out to be too long, wind the extra
part into a coil in a free area of the vehicle. Leave a little cable in the driving unit area; should
any technical operation be required, it will make it easier to remove the driving unit.
Failure to observe these instructions shall render the Warranty null and void.
LNB rotation for ideal signal reception in extreme
(South-western or South-eastern) areas in Europe
Please be reminded that your outside low-noise block converter (LNB) has its own special
mounting position that must be maintained, otherwise you will be unable to receive any
signals. The LNB pre-defined installation position is along the dish centre line (Fig. A): in this
configuration, the Flat Sat Elegance Smart system will operate correctly in most European
countries. If, however, you happen to find yourselves very far from the orbital position of your
required satellite, you may want to adjust your low-noise block converter angle. This is
especially true if you wish to receive satellite signals from Astra 19E, Astra 28E or HotBird
13E and you are in Portugal or Morocco: you will then have to adjust the LNB angle as shown
in fig. B, while if you happen to be in Turkey, to receive signals from the same satellites you
will have to adjust your LNB to the position shown in fig. C.

Important information for proper
antenna tracking
1) Before performing antenna tracking
operation, make sure you have positioned
your vehicle so that the view towards the
South (where Satellite signals come from)
is free from any nearby obstacle (trees,
houses, etc.). This way, the antenna will
be free to receive signals coming from
the satellite.
2) It is also important to know that satellites do not transmit with the same intensity throughout
Europe, so if you are outside the reception area, your Flat Sat Elegance Smart search might
be unsuccessful. The reception areas for each Satellite can be found on the main magazines
dealing in this line of business. Also remember that the larger the dish, the more reception
area is available.
WRONG POSITION RIGHT POSITION
LNB tilt adjustment
1) Remove the LNB
protective cover by screwing
out the 3 screws
2) Loosen the screws on the
LNB locking U-bolt
3) Turn in the Clockwise
(West) or Anti-clockwise
(South-East) direction
4) Lock the LNB again by
screwing down the screws
5) Close back the LNB
protective cover and screw
down the 3 screws

Tips on the best use of Flat Sat Elegance Smart
When you park your vehicle, make sure that:
1) No obstacle (for example trees) is too near your antenna, preventing it from moving
freely. No metal or glass wall is very near (about 5 m) the antenna, since this would act
as a mirror for satellite signals and could induce the antenna to stop towards it.
2) Remove any snow or ice from the Flat Sat Elegance Smart before actuating it in order
to avoid wasting battery power.
3) If you decide to turn the engine of your vehicle on in order to re-charge its batteries,
with the safety cable connected to the ignition key, the antenna, if lifted, will come down
automatically and it will not be possible to lift it again as long as the engine is running.
4) Make sure that your batteries are always sufficiently charged, since, if the voltage falls
below 10 Volts, the Flat Sat Elegance Smart electronic safety circuit will prevent the
antenna from rising.
5) Should you use 12 Volt power supply instead of batteries, be careful to use stabilized
power supply being able to provide 5 A continuously and at least 10 A for short periods.
At all costs, avoid using low quality, non stabilized battery chargers.
6) It is recommended not to use the antenna under strong wind conditions
(80 km/h). Failure to comply with this condition may result in product degradation
which the manufacturer cannot be held responsible for.
7) Antenna closing operations, whether by user's control or automatically for
vehicle start-up, require variable time.
Before starting the vehicle, always make sure that the antenna is fully closed.
* The manufacturer declines any liability for all degradations suffered by the
product owing to misuse.

Flat Sat Elegance Smart
The Flat Sat Elegance Smart is a fully automatic satellite tracking system able to locate
satellites that emit both DVB-S and DVB-S2 signals.
Flat Sat Easy Classic Smart S features the “Smart” function (filed patent application)
The Smart function
With the “Smart” function all you have to do is choose the TV programme you want to watch
and the Flat Sat Elegance Smart will automatically seek out the satellite transmitting it! To
use the “Smart” function the Flat Sat Elegance Smart must be associated with a Teleco
TY2/19D, TY2/22D, TY2/24 or TY2/32 TV with incorporated satellite receiver.
Using the Flat Sat Elegance Smart
The Flat Sat Elegance Smart can be controlled using the complete remote control supplied
with the TY2 TV or the simplified 8-key TS8 remote control which can be purchased as an
optional.
1) Total On/Off: sends the ON/OFF signal
to Control Unit and TV.
2) TV On/Off: sends the ON/OFF signal to
the TV only.
3) TV input source selection key: selects
the TV input source (DVB-T, DVBS2,
Scart, etc.)
4) Pressing any of these keys during the
satellite search phase returns you to
the receiver menu to change channel.
Remote control supplied
with the TY2 TV Simplified 8-key TS8 remote
control (Optional)

Satellite search
During the satellite search, the
antenna rotates and the name of
the selected satellite is shown in
the centre of the screen.
Once the satellite has been found
the antenna stops and the words
“Sat Ok” appear.
Switching on the Flat Sat Elegance Smart
To switch on the Flat Sat Elegance Smart system press the AUTO key (1) for about 1 second.
The Control Unit and TV will come on and the initialisation process begins.
Satellite selection
The Flat Sat Elegance Smart will automatically select the satellite transmitting the programme
that has been entered on the receiver incorporated in the TV. A window with an antenna info-
graphic shows how tracking is progressing.
After a few second the antenna will start rotating, indicating that satellite tracking has begun.
16

A few seconds later the satellite search menu disappears and the TV automatically displays
the channel that was selected on the DVB-S2 satellite receiver incorporated in the TV.
If you change channel on the receiver and choose a TV programme transmitted by a different
satellite, the Flat Sat Elegance Smart will immediately start searching for the new satellite.
Note: during the satellite search phase the user can return to the satellite receiver menu
simply by pressing one of the keys (4).
Note: with every search, the antenna automatically saves the coordinates of each tracked
satellite in order to speed up the process when switching from one satellite to another or if
switching the system back on after parking the antenna. Note that this memory is wiped every
time the vehicle engine is started (as long as the green safety cable is connected).
Closing the antenna with shutdown of the Flat Sat Elegance Smart
Once you have stopped watching satellite channels press key (1).
The TV displays the Control Unit menu and an info-graphic showing the antenna being closed.
Once the antenna closure procedure has been completed the message “P OK” appears.
After a few seconds the Control Unit and TV shut down automatically.
17

To switch the system back on just press the key (1) again.
Safety connection: correct connection of the green safety wire ensures that the antenna
is automatically closed and the TV switched off if the vehicle starts moving.
Make sure the green cable has been connected as indicated in the installation guide.
Using the TV to watch other sources (terrestrial digital, DVD etc.)
Use the INPUT (3) key on the remote control to select the source you intend to view on the
TV. If you decide to go back to watching Satellite channels, select the DVB-S2 source with
the INPUT (3) key of the remote control.
Viewing other sources with the antenna closed
Press the key (2) to switch on the TV: use the INPUT key (3) of the remote control to select
the source you intend to watch on the TV.
Fault display
Should any faults occur, these are displayed by the antenna animation on the TV screen.
1) Before performing antenna tracking operation, make sure you
have positioned your vehicle so that the view towards the South
(where Satellite signals come from) is free from any nearby
obstacle (trees, houses, etc.). This way, the antenna will be free
to receive signals coming from the satellite.
2) It is also important to know that satellites do not transmit with
the same intensity throughout Europe, so if you are outside the
reception area, your Flat Sat Elegance Smart search might be
unsuccessful. The reception areas for each Satellite can be found
on the main magazines dealing in this line of business. Also
remember that the larger the dish, the more reception area is
available.
