CONNECTIONS
16) Connect the (motor) grey cable to the MOTOR UNIT Connector and the white
(antenna) coaxial cable to the ANTENNA Connector in the Control.
17) Connect the MIR remote control Extension to the IR REMOTE connector in the Control
Unit.
18) Connect the BLACK power supply 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 a diameter of 2,5 mm (5
mm
2
cross-section).
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.
(V007)

20) Inside the Control Unit are:
a) Control ELECTRONICS of the outdoor unit motors
b) 500 Channel Analogue Receiver
c) Automatic Switch with Input for Digital Receiver
d) Digital DVB Free to Air Receiver.
(V007)

This technical note is to call the attention of the installation personnel to certain
details of Magic Sat Digital Plus 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 Magic Sat Digital Plus must be connected to this cable; all
the other devices must be connected to another
The cable connecting the motor unit to the Magic Sat Digital Plus 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 motor unit
area; should any technical operation be required, it will make it easier to remove the motor
unit.
Also, before checking its operation, we suggest you make sure that:
the outside converter (a.k.a. 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 pre-set mounting position
for the converter is along the centre line of the disk (see figure A). With this configuration,
the Magic Sat Digital Plus system works correctly in most European countries. However, if
you are in areas very far from the satellite orbital position, it might be necessary to adjust
the converter angle. In particular, if you wish to receive transmissions from the satellites
Astra 19E, Astra 28E or HotBird 13E, while you find yourself in Portugal or Morocco, your
converter angle should be adjusted as shown in figure B2, while if you are in Turkey, to
receive the same satellites you should set your converter to the position B1. A chart is
attached which may help you set the ideal angle.

USER MANUAL
Magic Sat Digital Plus Operation System
Magic Sat Digital Plus is a fully automatic satellite pointing system, designed to point both
satellites which transmit ANALOGUE/DIGITAL signals (e.g. ASTRA or Hot Bird) and
satellites which transmit DIGITAL signals only (e.g. Astra 2). All operating information is
displayed on your TV screen when the system is
To ensure user-friendly operation, we have simplified these basic functions as
• satellite searching
• antenna lowering
• required program searching
Satellite seeking
When Magic Sat Digital Plus is off (Antenna down), press the Red button on the remote
control to start the searching procedure which ends when the TV pictures appear.
Antenna lowering
When Magic Sat Digital Plus is on, and the antenna is up, press the (yellow) DOWN button
to bring the antenna down and switch the system off.
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. Magic Sat Digital Plus will then
search for the next satellite and store the corresponding antenna position. Should you wish
to receive digital DVB broadcasts, it is better to use the satellite search. Through the
Program List it is possible to select the most used satellites on the European territory in
the first 16 positions. Once your Magic Sat Digital Plus has found the required satellite, the
integrated digital receiver will start working automatically, from which you may select the
desired program.
Thank you for having chosen our product. We wish you enjoy watching TV with Magic Sat
Digital Plus.

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 Magic Sat Digital Plus
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
AUTOMATIC SATELLITE SEARCHING
1) Turn your TV set on and put it in a condition to receive signals coming from the satellite
receiver (See TV Manual).
2) Switch on the control unit by pressing the Red button on your remote control (or the
button on the front panel). The Magic Sat Digital Plus will also be automatically
operated.
3) The following message will appear on your TV screen:
Looking for the Satellite
Astra 19E
Programma 1
Sat Research: Auto
Search going on
(V007)
14
This message will remain until the antenna has identified the satellite. It tells you the name
of the satellite (e.g., Astra) which the Magic Sat Digital Plus is looking for, and the
programme number (Programme 1) which will appear when pointing is over. Both these
data are linked to one another by a pre-storage on the receiver which has been performed
in the factory in the following order:
Satellite list 1 – 16
Analogue programs of satellite ASTRA 19 E 17 – 86
Analogue programs of satellite EUTELSAT 10 E 87 – 106
Analogue programs of satellite HOTBIRD 13 E 107 – 146
Analogue programs of satellite EUTELSAT 16 E 147 – 166
Analogue programs of satellite SIRIUS 5 E 167 – 186
Analogue programs of satellite TELECOM 5 W 187 – 206
Analogue programs of satellite TELECOM 8 W 207 – 225
Analogue programs of satellite THOR 1 W 226 – 265
Analogue programs of satellite RADIO ASTRA 19 E 266 – 405
Analogue programs of satellite RADIO HOTBIRD 13 E 406 – 464
4) When the antenna points at a satellite during the seeking phase, the following message
will appear on your TV screen:
If it is the right satellite (e.g. Astra), the programme images will appear on the screen after
a few seconds have elapsed (e.g., Programme 1). If it is another satellite, then the antenna
will continue to seek, and the following message will be displayed again:
5) Once the antenna has tracked the required satellite, the analogue radio and TV stations may be received
by simply switching the program via the remote control. If you wish to receive analogue programs from
other satellites, enter the number of the desired program on the remote control or select it from the
program list: your Magic Sat Digital Plus will search for the next satellite and store the position of the
antenna, switching between the satellites immediately. If you are watching a digital program and wish to
change satellite, you must return to the functions of the Magic Sat Digital Plus by pressing the A/D key.
Pressing this button will bring out the Program/Satellite list and you may select a different satellite or
switch to an analogue program automatically.

LOWERING THE ANTENNA
To bring the antenna to its horizontal position, just press your remote control DOWN
button to switch both the Receiver and Magic Sat Digital Plus off. During the short time it
takes for the antenna to come down, the following message will be displayed on the
screen:
Followed by:
When the antenna reaches its horizontal position, Magic Sat Digital Plus 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 Magic Sat Digital Plus 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) without having to lower the antenna. In this case, the total
consumption by the system Magic Sat Digital Plus will be cut down to approximately 240
mA. To power the Control unit back on, just press the Red push-button on the remote
control once again.
2) If the antenna is in motion, the red push-button WILL NOT be working to prevent the
Control unit being switched off which would make satellite searching ineffective.
3) In the event that Magic Sat Digital Plus 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 " No satellite " on the TV screen and " NSA" on the FP3412. If this happens,
the antenna can be lowered by pressing the DOWN push-button or a program
transmitted by another satellite can be selected.
4) You may switch your Magic Sat Digital Plus between Analogue and Digital via the “A/D”
button: in this way you may view the broadcasts of both the systems or select another
satellite.

OPERATIONS FOR THOSE WITH GREATER EXPERTIS
Changing satellites during search
The Magic Sat Digital Plus 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 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.
Sequential satellite seeking
This kind of search is used only when you are at the edge of the reception area, where
signals are weaker, and only if Automatic Search has failed.
1 Turn the system on with the Red key
2 Interrupt the search pressing the STOP key
3 Press the MENU key
4 Choose CONFIGURATION
5 Choose SAT SEARCH
6 Choose SAT SEARCH: SEQUENTIAL using the key
7 Exit the MENU (See the Analogue Receiver instruction Manual)
8 Choose the programme you want (e.g.: 1)
At this point, the Magic Sat Digital Plus will start to search for the signal of the programme
you have chosen. When the antenna points at a satellite which transmits this signal, it will
stop and the following message will be displayed:
Should the programme appearing on the TV set be the one that interests you, press the
OK key; otherwise, press the NEXT key to make the antenna search for another Satellite
which transmits the programme you want. The SEQUENTIAL SEARCH for the chosen
channel (e.g. Channel 1) could fail too. In this case, press the Down key again to lower the
antenna and turn the system off.
OK: Satellite Confirmation
NEXT: Continue Search
(V007)
17
Since satellites transmit some channels with high power and others with lower power,in
case of failure, you would do best to try another search changing the number
1) Press the Red key to turn on
2) Press the STOP key to interrupt the search
3) Choose a different channel number (e.g. 31), still however belonging to the group
transmitted by the satellite you want (in this case, Astra)
4) After a few seconds, Magic Sat Digital Plus will start seeking for the chosen channel
(channel 31) and will repeat the steps listed above.
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.
TIPS on the best use of Magic Sat Digital Plus
When you park your vehicle, make sure that:
1) The view towards the South is free of any nearby obstacles. Any obstacle (trees or
buildings) between the satellite and the antenna prevent proper
2) 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.
3) In case of snow or ice actuating the Magic Sat Digital Plus free it in order to avoid
wasting battery power in order to lift it.
4) 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.
5) Make sure that your batteries are always sufficiently charged, since, if the voltage falls
below 10 Volts, the Magic Sat Digital Plus electronic safety circuit will prevent the antenna
from rising.
6) Should you use 12 Volt feeders instead of batteries in order to feed the Magic Sat
Digital Plus, 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 Magic Sat Digital Plus 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.
