WARNING This technical note is to call the attention of the installation personnel to

certain details of Flat Sat Komfort 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 5 mm

. Only the Flat Sat Komfort 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 Komfort Black Box 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.

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 Komfort 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.

RIGHT

POSITION

WRONG

POSITION

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 Komfort 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.

1) Loosen the LNB U-bolt locking screws

2) Turn in either the Clockwise (West) or the Anti-clockwise (South-East) direction (fig. 21)

3) Lock the LNB again with the special screws

Tips on the best use of Flat Sat Komfort

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 Komfort 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 Komfort 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.

Troubleshooting for the complete Kit with Black Box, Sat Decoder and TV

If the Black Box does not turn on by pressing the button (1) or (6), check the following:

a) Are the RED and BLACK cables properly connected to the battery? The RED cable must

be on the + pole, the BLACK cable on the - pole. Should you have mixed up the cables, first

disconnect them, replace the safety fuse on the back of the Black Box using a similar one

(5 A), then re-connect the RED and BLACK cables properly to the battery.

b) Is the engine of your vehicle running? Turn it off, since this means the safety system which

keeps the antenna down is operating.

c) Have the connections been properly made? Check the connections in the installation

manual.

d) Are the remote control batteries properly charged?

e) Are you directing the remote control towards the infrared TV sensor?

f) Are the Sat Decoder and the TV powered?

If the Black Box turns on by pressing the button (1) but the TV and/or the DECODER

do not, check the following:

a) Make sure that the TV and/or the DECODER are part of the Kit and that the connections

described in the installation manual have been made properly.

b) Are the Sat Decoder and the TV powered?

If the Flat Sat Komfort has not found the satellite after a complete search, check the

following:

a) Is the view towards the South free from any obstacle?

b) Is the place you are at within the reception area (footprint) of the satellite you have chosen?

c) Is the cable connecting the LNB to the antenna firmly fastened? It could have been ripped

off or come loose because of contact with an unexpected obstacle.

d) Are all the connections on the Black Box properly set up? Make sure that the white coax

cable coming from the outside powered unit is connected to the LNB connector of the Black

Box.

If, when the satellite search is over, the screen is animated

as follows, check the following:

a) Is the scart jack of the DECODER connected to the scart jack

of the Black Box? Connect it as indicated in the Installation

manual.

b) Is the scart cable of the 21-pole type (are all connector poles

properly connected)? Use 21-pole scart cables only.

c) Is the DECODER off? Turn it on by pressing the button (3) on

the remote control.

If, when the satellite search is over, the TV screen is black, check the following:

a) Is the scart jack of the TV connected to the scart jack of the Black Box? Connect it as

indicated in the Installation manual.

b) Is the scart cable of the 21-pole type (are all connector poles properly connected)? Use

21-pole scart cables only.

c) Is the TV set on the SCART input source? Set the TV on the SCART input source.

d) Is the TV off? Turn it on by pressing the button (2) on the remote control.

If, when the satellite search is over, the message “No Signal” is displayed on the TV screen

or if the TV screen is jammed, check the following:

a) Have you connected the RECEIVER output of the Black Box to the LNB IN input of the

receiver via a coax cable? Connect if as indicated in the installation manual

b) Have you selected the right satellite ? Make sure that the channel you wish to receive is

really available on the required satellite. For example: if you have tracked the Astra 19 satellite,

make sure that the Decoder is tuned on a channel which has been selected from the Astra

19 channel list.

If, when the antenna parking operations are over, the screen

is animated as follows, check the following:

a) Is the DECODER on? Turn it off by pressing the button (3)

on the remote control.

If, upon turning on the Black Box, the antenna remains in

parking position and the screen is animated as follows

even when you press the “SAT +” (8) button on the remote

control, check the following:

a) Is the engine of your vehicle running? Turn it off, since this

means the safety system which keeps the antenna down is

operating.

If the Black Box does not turn off:

a) hold down the key (1) of the remote control until the Black Box turns off (max 20 seconds)
