1. Safety instructions and warnings
Carefully read this user manual before using the device.
Scope of use
Your Travel Vision TVA 65/80 premium ® has been developed to automatically search and find a satellite signal
on a parked vehicle. This device is only intended for use by consumers and outdoors.
For safe use, please observe the following:
Travelvision TVA 65/80 (PREMIUM)
The system is not suitable for operating while the vehicle is in motion. Operating during drive may cause
damage to the vehicle as well as it will be dangerous for life safety. This product is with retracted
antenna for fixed installation on vehicles with a maximum speed of 130 Km/h.
Antenna dish outdoor unit
The antenna dish outdoor unit which is installed on top of the vehicle, causes a height on the vehicle.
Make sure that this height will not cause any risk while cruising you’re your vehicle. It is very important
that to be aware of this height for safety while crossing a bridge, crossover or wooded road. Retract the
system during periods of strong wind or storm.
Installing Antenna dish outdoor unit
It is important that the closing direction of the antenna should be towards back of the vehicle. In this
position, the wind effect is at the minimum level during the driving of the vehicle when the antenna is
closed.
During alignment
Make sure not come into physical contact with the dish unit while it is aligning and rotating. Only use the
control module and make sure nothing and nobody enters the turning circle of the system during its
alignment.
Connecting the system
Always first fully connect the system before switching on the power supply. Otherwise you risk receiving
a slight electric shock.
In order to ensure that your Vision system works properly, you must ensure that it is
correctly connected to the ignition of your vehicle
When it is correctly installed, the antenna automatically returns to the park position when the ignition is
switched on and locks itself there. If the system cannot fully retract or cannot retract at all due to a fault,
then it is your responsibility as the driver of the vehicle to check that the antenna is safely and properly
stowed. The driver of the vehicle must inspect the external unit before driving off to ensure that it
is fully retracted.
Snow and Ice
If the antenna is covered by snow or ice, do not operate the system. That kind of usage may cause
permanent damages to the system.
Maintenance
There are no parts in the device that require servicing by the user. Do not open the cover of the unit. To
open the covers cancels the guarantee of the unit. Refer to authorized technical service.
Do not clean your vehicle with the mounted satellite system in a drive-through car wash or with a high-
pressure cleaner.

3. Determine installation position
By determine the antenna installation position you should check:
•Before installing the system, make sure that the surface is flat, dry and clean, on which the antenna will
be mounted.
•The equipment must only be installed on hard vehicle roofs which are sufficiently strong and inherently
stable.
•Make sure that there are no physical obstacles on the vehicle that prevent watching the satellites and
motion of the dish, when choosing the installation place of the antenna.
•Make sure that the installation base is a rigid surface and it never stretches.
•It is important that the closing direction of the antenna should be towards back of the vehicle. In this
position, the wind effect is at the minimum level during the driving of the vehicle when the antenna is
closed.
Determine the cable wiring towards controlebox.
Depending on the desire there are two different possibilities for wiring:
•Wiring duct from the side
•Cabling Transit through middle bottom

5. LNB and Skew
5.1 Single or Twin LNB
The centrepiece of the satellite antenna is the LNB, which bundles and processes the satellite signals. Per your
individual needs, it’s available in different variants. For example, if you want to use a second receiver, e.g. in the
sleeper compartment, you need a Twin LNB to connect a second independent receiver.
The TVA 65 with single LNB, suitable for connection of 1 receiver
The TVA 80 (Premium) with a twin LNB, which allows connection of two receivers that can operate independently.
5.2 Skew
For optimal reception at the limits of the reception ranges in South East and West regions, the LNB may have to
be rotated in order to compensate the polarisation deviation (SKEW angle) caused by the earth’s curvature.
5.3 Auto Skew
The TVA 80 (Premium) antenna has Autoskew, the system automatically rotates the LNB to be assured of
optimum signal.
5.4 Manual skew set for model TVA 65
With the TVA 65 the skew should be manual set.
The LNB is provided in a white plastic cover, which can be opened to adjust the skew.
With factory set, the LNB is set to +5. Before searching the satellite, you need to check or the LNB-skew must be
adapted.
Checking Skew
The table below is only a tool, if the current LNB skew setting has more difference as 10 degrees, there is a big
possibility that the system will not align with the satellite, or services from the receiver will be lost (picture will
freeze frame and may disappear).
Check your position in table below.

6. Use, search for satellite.
Power on:
Switch the control box (button 6.) to On (first time operating).
The red LED (7) of the control box lights up and after a few seconds the blue illumination of the control panel
lights up as well. The red LED (7) on the control box goes out and the system goes into standby mode.
The system is now initiated and ready for use.
Search for satellite:
•Please ensure that the system always has a clear view. In Europe, all satellites are in an approximate
position in the south.
Depending on your system there are 3 possibilities:
1. Standard LNB with TVA 65
2. Autoskew LNB with TVA 80
3. Autoskew LNB with TVA 80 Premium
Standard LNB with TVA 65
Check in section 5.4 the correct LNB setting for the desired satellite. If necessary, set the LNB of your antenna.
Press the standby button (12.) of the control panel. The blue back light on the control panel lights up and the
antenna moves up.
The antenna searches for the last selected satellite, also displayed on the control panel by a slow blinking LED
(13). The elevation (height) also starts at the position that the satellite was previously located.
Once the TVA 65 has located the satellite, it will optimally align with small steps after checking. To indicate that
the satellite has been located the chosen satellite LED (13) flashes quickly.
This process takes about 1 minute. After this optimisation phase, the system is in-line with the satellite.
To indicate that the satellite has been located and aligned, the chosen satellite LED (13) lights continuously.
The signal is now fully passed on to the connected satellite receiver and you can watch TV.
Autoskew LNB with TVA 80
Press the standby button (12.) of the control panel. The blue back light on the control panel lights up and the
antenna moves up. The antenna searches for the last selected satellite, also displayed on the control panel by a
slow blinking LED (13). The elevation (height) also starts at the position that the satellite was previously located.
Once the TVA 80 has located the satellite, it will optimally align with small increments after checking. To indicate
that he satellite has been located the chosen satellite LED (13) flashes quickly.
During the optimisation of the satellite, the system checks the optimum position of the LNB by means of
autoskew.
This process takes about 1.5 minutes. After this optimisation phase, the system is in-line with the satellite. To
indicate that the satellite has been located and aligned the chosen satellite LED (13) lights continuously.
The signal is now fully passed on to the connected satellite receiver and you can watch TV.
Autoskew LNB with TVA 80 Premium
Press the standby button (12.) of the control panel. The blue back light on the control panel lights up and the
antenna moves up. The antenna searches for the last selected satellite, also displayed on the control panel by a
slow blinking LED (13).
By means of the built-in GPS, compass and clinometer the elevation height, location of the satellite and the Skew
settings will be determined and selected.
NB. If the controller on the power button was turned off and has just been turned on, it takes longer before the
GPS location and the position of the satellite will be determined.
Once the Travel Vision TVA 80 PREMIUM has located the desired satellite, it will optimally align with small
increments after checking. To indicate that the satellite has been located, the chosen satellite LED (13) flashes
quickly. This procedure takes about 30 seconds. After this optimisation phase, the system is in-line with the
satellite.To indicate that the satellite has been located and aligned the chosen satellite LED (13) lights
continuously.The signal is now fully passed on to the connected satellite receiver and you can watch TV.

7. Select satellite:
At the initial commissioning the system is pre-selected for the Astra 3 satellite. From this point, the
system will display the last selected satellite on the control panel during start-up.
If the system is not in operation press the stand-by button (12.) on the control panel to start the search
process.
There are 2 ways to select the satellite.
1. Manually using the control panel
2. Automatically by means of the connected receiver (All systems from March 2016).
7.1 Manually selecting of satellite:
With the help of the arrow buttons (10 and 11) on the control panel you are able to select the pre-
programmed satellites step by step.
During the search process, you are able to press the buttons and select another satellite.
The system adapts this choice and will search for the desired satellite and align it.
List of preprogramed satellites from which to choose:
7.2 Automatic switching between the satellites with DiSEqC
Depending on the selected channel of your receiver (or TV with built-in receiver) the system searches the
desired satellite.
The TVA system is programmed to automatically align with DiSEqC. If you have a programmed DiSEqC
channel list into your receiver, the satellite dish turns automatically to the right satellite belonging to the
TV channel you have selected. For a TV channel that is broadcast through Astra 2 the antenna aligns to
Astra 2, and for a channel of Astra 1 it aligns to Astra 1 etc. If this function is not desirable and just want
to switch manually with the control panel of the satellite dish, turn off the DiSEqC settings in the menu of
the connected receiver (or TV with built-in receiver).
NB. To use DiSEqC, the receiver must be connected to the loop-out of the control box.
7.3 Specific comments while searching for the satellite
If the system stops running because it has found a satellite with the right features, but during the
checking it appears that this is not the satellite you selected, the system automatically continues
searching for the right satellite.
8. Parking position
Press the standby button (12.) of the control panel.
The blue back light on the control panel lights and the antenna shuts itself down.
To indicate the antenna is retracting, no LED on the control panel (13.) is lit.
After retracting the antenna, the control unit turns itself off to standby mode. You can turn off your
receiver and TV.
NB. If the ignition switch is connected (strictly recommended) then the antenna automatically retracts as
protection after the ignition switch is switched on.
The standby button can be used at any time to turn the system off, even if it is still searching.

10. Troubleshooting
10.1 No satellite found,
1) Check whether there are any obstructions on the south which blocks the free satellite view.
2) Check the LNB skew setting (See section 5.4) only with TVA 65
3) You are possibly outside the broadcast area of the desired satellite. Check footprint in section 11.
If you are sure that the above does not apply:
4) Check if the latest Travel Vision TVA ® software version has been installed for any possibly changed
satellite frequencies. See www.travel-vision.com or consult your dealer.
5) Check the LNB, coaxial cables and connectors from Outdoor antenna and antenna input (1) on controller
10.2 Satellite found, but no picture:
Check the coaxial cable between controller (loop out) and your satellite receiver
Check the connection cables between your satellite receiver and your television.
Switch the receiver and the television off and back on.
Check if the latest software version and channel list has been installed in your receiver
10.3 Satellite found, but not all TV channels:
Check if the latest software version and channel list has been installed in your receiver
Check whether your subscription or smart cart is still valid.
Check the LNB skew setting (See section 5.4) with TVA 65
10.4 The system does nothing. Possible causes / solutions:
Is the power button on the control box switched to on?
Red LED (7) on control box?
No, Check powersupply
Check fuses
Check powercable on controlebox
Yes, Check vehicle contact
Check cable control panel
Check cables and battery voltage
10.5 Should the software update files be opened before putting them on a USB stick?
No, You only need to copy (right mouse button to copy) and paste (right click paste) on an empty USB
flash drive. Due to installed anti-virus programs on your PC, it could be possible that you cannot copy the
files directly from your email program. In this case you can create an intermediate step, first copy the
files to your desktop and then copy it to the USB flash drive.
10.6 Should the vehicle with system be level?
With TVA 65-80:
The system has not to be fully level to find the satellite. However, with more level, the satellite is faster
found. Also, it works in favour of the indicated LNB skew position.
With TVA 80 Premium:
No, the built-in clinometer calculates the correct angle for elevation and LNB skew
10.7 The system has found the satellite but is aligned to another object.
The system may align to a reflective surface like the side of the camper van/caravan, due to reflection of
the satellite signal. The satellite signal is sufficient to receive the satellite but is too weak to allow viewing
some (or all) TV channels.
Move the vehicle with antenna and then realign it, or block signal between the dish and the reflective
surface while the search process is in progress.
