cross-section). (Fig. 15).

19) 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 (Fig.15).

Any connection made in points other than as indicated (e.g. on

the alternator) can give rise to equipment malfunction and/or damage resulting in loss of

the warranty.

WARNING

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

details of Flat Sat Light installation. During installation, you must take the following

precautions:

The power supply cable must come directly from the battery and be of a minimum cross-

section of 5 sq.mm. Only the Flat Sat Light 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 Light

Control 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.

Also, before checking its operation, we suggest you make sure that:

The outside converter (also called LNB) has been installed properly and locked into its

plastic lock nut. Remember that the outside converter has its own assembly position which

must be complied with. Otherwise you will not receive any signal.

The preset assembly position of the converter is along the median line of the dish (Fig. A)

and in this configuration the Flat Sat Light system operates properly in most European

countries. If however you are in areas which are very far from the orbital position of the

satellite, you could need to adjust the angle of the converter. In particular, if you wish to

receive any transmission from the Astra 19E, Astra 28E or Hot Bird 13E satellites and you

are in Portugal or Morocco, you should adjust the converter angle as shown on fig. B2,

whereas if you are in Turkey, you should set the converter on the B1 position for the same

satellites.

User manual Flat Sat Light Operation System

Flat Sat Light is a fully automatic satellite tracking system. It is able to track satellites which

transmit DIGITAL signals.

All information about operation are shown on the TV screen upon turning the system on. In

order to give all users easy access to this sytem, we tried to make operations simpler:

• satellite searching

• required program searching

• antenna lowering

Satellite seeking

When Flat Sat Light is off (Antenna down), press the Red button (ON/OFF) on the remote

control to start the searching procedure which ends when the TV pictures appear.

Programme seeking

Once the antenna has been pointed to the required satellite, radio and television stations

can be received by simply shifting programs with the remote control. To receive programs

from other satellites, you will just have to key in the number of your required program on

your remote control, or select it from the program list. Flat Sat Light will then search for the

next satellite and store the corresponding antenna position.

Antenna lowering

When Flat Sat Light is on (antenna is up), press the (yellow) DOWN button to bring the

antenna down and switch the system off.

As long as the antenna is coming down, the following message is brought to the display:

Followed by:

When the antenna reaches its horizontal position, Flat Sat Light will go off and TV

messages will disappear. Should you forget to lower the antenna before starting up with

your road vehicle, don't worry: the moment you turn the engine ignition key, a special

safety circuit will lower the antenna automatically, keeping it locked in place as long as the

vehicle moves. This however is possible only if the special Green cable has been

connected to the ignition key at the time.

N.B. Because of this safety function, remember that if you decide to turn the engine on in

order to charge the batteries of the vehicle, the Flat Sat Light

will automatically bring the

antenna down; as long as the engine is running, it will not be possible to perform

searching.

Additional operations

1) With the antenna pointed to a satellite, the Control unit may be turned off (by pressing

the Red push-button) (ON/OFF) without having to lower the antenna. In this case, the

total consumption by the system Flat Sat Light will be cut down to less than 1A.. To

power the Control unit back on, just press the Red push-button (ON/OFF) on the

remote control once again.

2) If the antenna is in motion, the red push-button (ON/OFF) will not be working to

prevent the Control unit being switched off which would make satellite searching

ineffective.

3) In the event that Flat Sat Light does not find the selected satellite, it will stop the

antenna at the end of its stroke (either all the way out or all the way in) and show the

message " Failed Search ". If this happens, the antenna can be lowered by pressing

the DOWN push-button or a program transmitted by another satellite can be selected.

Changing satellites during search

The Flat Sat Light always starts its automatic search by examining the satellite which

transmits the last programme chosen before turning the system off (e.g. Astra, Channel 1).

Should you wish to launch an automatic search for another satellite, proceed as follows:

• Press the RED (ON/OFF) key on the remote control to swhitch on the system.

• Press the STOP key to stop the antenna temporarily (the words "Search suspended"

will be displayed on the TV set)

• Choose the new channel transmitted by the satellite you want (e.g. Channel 117, Hot

Bird)

• After a few seconds, the antenna will start searching again and will stop on the new

satellite (Hot Bird).

WARNING: if the antenna is stopped with the STOP button, this can ONLY be restarted if

a programme transmitted by another satellite is selected.

Safety function

If, for any reason (trees, ice, etc.), the antenna is not able to move freely during the

operation, it will stop at once and the following message will be displayed:

After having verified the reason for the blockage, press the DOWN key and then remove

the cause.

Important information

Flat Sat Light

Vers. 001

Important information

for proper antenna pointing

1) Before performing antenna pointing, make sure you have positioned your vehicle so

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 Light 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

TIPS on the best use

Vers. 001

Flat Sat Light

19

TIPS on the best use

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 point towards it.

2) In case of snow or ice actuating the Flat Sat Light free it in order to avoid wasting

battery power in order to lift it.

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 Light electronic safety circuit will prevent the antenna from

rising.

5) Should you use 12 Volt feeders instead of batteries in order to feed the Flat Sat Light,

be careful to use high quality stabilized feeders with a supplied power of at least 10A.

At all costs, avoid using low quality, non stabilized battery feeders.

Trouble-shooting

If the Flat Sat Light 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 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

d) Are all the connections on the Control Unit properly set up?

If the antenna has stopped after performing pointing, but neither messages nor images

appear on the screen:

a Is the SCART cable connected?

b If the TV set is not connected by a SCART cable, but is connected by a COAX cable

to the TV socket, have you chosen the right programme on

If the antenna does not move when you press the Red push-button, check the

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.

b) Should you have mixed up the cables, first disconnect them, replace the safety fuse

on the bottom of the Control Unit using a similar one (10 A), then re-connect the

RED and BLACK cables properly to the battery.

c) Is the engine on your vehicle running? Turn it off, since this means the safety

system which keeps the antenna down is operating.
