3 Proper use

The MobiSet 2 CAP 620 is designed to receive digital TV and radio channels via satellite. The automatic

positioner is intended to be used as a turntable for the Kathrein planar antenna.

The turntable can be used to receive digital TV and radio signals in the frequency range from 10.70 to

12.75 GHz; the antenna cannot receive terrestrial signals (e.g. DVB-T).

The turntable can only be operated in conjunction with the UFS 946/CI+ (or UFS 740 and UFS 940)

DVB-S receiver�

In conjunction with this receiver, the turntable provides fully automatic alignment of the planar antenna to

receive digital satellite signals. The turntable is designed for use on stationary caravans or motor homes.

Any use other than that specied above will invalidate the warranty or guarantee.

The following circumstances result in the loss of all warranty and liability claims towards the man-

ufacturer:

● Improper installation

● Useofnon-speciedmountingmaterials,whichcannotguaranteethemechanicalreliabilityofthe

antenna system

● Impermissible use, e.g. use of the planar antenna for storage

● Structural changes or interference with the components and mounting accessories in the kit, which

could endanger both the mechanical and functional reliability

● Improper or forcible opening of the components

● Use of cleaners containing solvents, such as acetone, nitro-cellulose thinners, petrol, etc.

● Failure to observe installation and safety instructions in this manual

Note

Themaximumpermissiblespeedforvehicleswithaturntablemountedontheroofis130km/h.Before

commencing a journey, the antenna must always be lowered into the horizontal position (park position).

Important

The turntable may be operated over an ambient temperature range of -10°C to +40°C. Operat-

ing the system outside this range may result in malfunctions or damage to the system. Ensure

that the receiver is adequately ventilated when selecting the installation and set-up location.

The system may be installed only by qualied specialist per-

sonnel�

● Nobody is below the antenna inside the caravan/motor home during dismantling/installation

Proper installation and safety

Essential information

A crucial safety factor is proper performance of installation and electrical connection work, and the speci-

edalignmentoftheturntableinthedirectionoftravel(parkposition),seealsoInstallationandconnection.

Comply as precisely as possible with the installation conditions and steps described.

Modicationstotheelectricalinstallationsinthevehicleshouldonlybecarriedoutbyaspecialistinvehicle

electrics. Do not make any unauthorised changes to the turntable.

Adhesive sealant

The turntable is attached to the roof of the vehicle by adhesive and is secured by additional screws.

Note that the curing of the adhesive sealant is temperature-dependent. It reaches its full strength only after

approximatelyvedays.

Important

During installation work, comply strictly with the processing and safety instructions for the adhe-

sivesealant(Sikaex

Safety instructions – important notes

Road Trafc Licensing Regulations (StVZO)

TheapplicableregulationsoftheGermanStVZOmustbeobservedinrespectofxedinstallationofthe

turntable on a vehicle which is driven on public highways.

In particular, Articles 19/2; 30 C; 32 (2) and EC directive 74/483 EEC are applicable.

eraloutlineofthevehicle.Themaximumpermissibleheightof4m(vehicleandantennaunit)mustnotbe

exceeded.

Warning

There is an increased risk of accidents if the normal vehicle height is increased by having

anextendedantenna.Thedriverbearssoleresponsibilityfortheconditionofthesuper-

structureandexternalttings!

Cables

Lay all cables such that nobody can tread on them or trip over them.

Topreventparasiticinductionorinterferenceemissions,whenextendingtheantennacableuse75Ωcoax-

ial cable with a screening factor of at least 75 dB.

Warning

If you tied the cables together with wire or similar materials, remove this to prevent the risk

ofre!

When connecting the power cables (receiver and turntable) to the on-board power supply, make sure that

the cable polarity is not reversed.

Important

If the cable polarity is reversed there is a risk of thermal overload and damage to compo-

nentswhentheequipmentispoweredup!

Supply voltage, fusing

Operate the system from your vehicle's battery (12 V) or a suitable power supply unit. This power supply

unit must ensure a stable output voltage of 12 V, a continuous current of 11 A and 15 A (300 ms) surge cur-

rent.

Theshort-timepowerconsumptionisuptoamaximumof12A.

To ensure reliable functioning of the connection/control unit, the power supply cable must be connected

directly to the battery. If the supply voltage is too low, the receiver indicates this with the on-screen mes-

sage “On-board voltage too low” on the television screen.

A 15 A fuse is incorporated in the power supply cable. If the fuse blows, rectify the source of the fault and

replace the blown fuse with a fuse of the same rating (15 A).

Warning

 Neverremoveorbypassthefuseinthecable–cablerehazard!

Connecting the power supply cable core marked "Ignition" activates the turntable function for automatic

lowering of the antenna. This lowering takes place as soon as the vehicle ignition circuit is turned on.

When connecting the control unit to the on-board power supply, make sure that the “12 V”, “Earth” and

9 of 64

“Ignition” wires cannot be disconnected by intermediate switches, as this could deactivate the automatic

lowering function.

Important

The antenna is lowered within 5 seconds of the ignition being switched on, even if the

receiver is switched off. Prerequisite: The power supply to the turntable must not have

been interrupted.

Otherwise the control unit that is in use will be lowered immediately. Lowering the antenna

cantakeupto30seconds(aftertheignitionisswitchedon)!

Warning

Risk of injury, especially of crushing.

● During operation of the turntable, make sure that no persons, and in particular chil-

dren, are in the immediate vicinity of the turntable and that they cannot touch any

moving parts.

● Always unplug the power supply during installation work.

Important

Risk of damage to property.

● Exceedingthenormalvehicleheightbyfailingtolowertheantennaincreasestherisk

ofaccidents!Thedriverisresponsiblefortheconditionofthesuperstructureandexter-

nalttings!

● It is imperative that the instructions in the installation and operating manuals for the

unitsusedandfortheexternalttingsandsuperstructuresareheededaswell.

● If there is a warning of a storm it is essential to bring the turntable into the park posi-

tion. Otherwise the turntable and also the vehicle could be damaged.

Checks before commencing a journey

● Before commencing a journey, the antenna must always be lowered into the horizontal position (park

position).Iftheantennahascollidedwithaxedormovableobject,checkthatthesystemisstill

securely attached.

● As the antenna is subjected to vibration loads during driving, you should check at regular intervals,

depending on the frequency of driving, that the system is still securely attached and tighten any parts

that have worked loose.

● Themaximumpermissiblespeedforvehicleswithareceiverunitmountedontheroofis130km/h.

● Lowertheantennaifitwillnotbeusedforalongperiod.Thismakesthesecuringboltsmoredifcultto

access (protection against theft).

Antenna in the park position whilst driving

The antenna must always be lowered into the horizontal position (park position) whilst driv-

ing. As a reminder, attach the sticker from the supplementary sheet “Lower the CAP 620

antenna whilst driving” where it can easily be seen by the person operating the ignition

switch.

5�3 Selecting the installation location

● Circular cutter, Ø 38 mm

● Flat-bladed screwdriver for M5 screws

● Power drill

● Galvanised round head screws, depending

on the roof structure (Ø: 5 mm, sheet metal

screws D 7981, depending on the roof struc-

Essentially, the cable lengths and components that are supplied allow you a free choice of installation loca-

tion on your caravan or motor home. However, you should take note of the following points:

● Beforeinstallation,youshouldndoutwhethertheoperatingmanualforyourvehiclepermitsthetting

ofnon-vehicle-specicpartsorwhatrequirementsneedtobemetinordertodoso.

● For direct satellite reception, there should be no obstructions between the antenna and the satellite.

Therefore, make sure that the antenna is not shadowed by roof attachments such as luggage racks,

air conditioning units, solar panels, etc. The problem of shadowing applies also when selecting a park-

ing place for your vehicle. For interference-free satellite reception, the antenna needs a free view to the

south at an angle of between 0° and 55° (depending on location) to the horizontal.

● When selecting the installation location, take into account the range of movement of the turntable (see

graphics and the “Technical data” chapter). There must not be any attachments on the roof that would

obstruct this range of movement (risk of collision). To be on the safe side, keep slightly more than the

Important

The turntable must not be carried by the planar antenna,

since this can cause it to distort. Keep the system in its

cardboardboxfortransportontothevehicleroof.

Retain the original packaging, as if it is necessary to send the unit

for repair, transport damage cannot be ruled out and the manufac-

turer accepts no liability for possible damage.

The packaging of the turntable can be opened along the centre.

This makes it easier to access the fastening screws once the

system and inserts have been taken out of the packaging.

Installation and connection

● Choose an installation position on the roof that is as horizontal as possible or only slightly sloping,

depending on the location of the vehicle, since roof inclinations greater than 5° may lead to problems

when searching for the satellite.

● To ensure secure adhesion, the height difference of the roof curve must not be more than 1 cm over a

length of 2 m, as otherwise the gap between the roof and the mounting plate would be too great to be

lledbytheadhesivesealant.

● As the vehicle is constantly subjected to vibration loads during travel, the roof below the antenna unit

isalsosubjecttosignicantloads.Pleasenotegiventhenatureandcapacityofyourvehicleroof(see

you prefer a different method of laying the cables, they can be run out from the rear of the turntable via

the channel provided in the mounting plate. The cables must then be run along the roof of the vehicle in

a protective cable duct and through a separate roof duct HDZ 100 (neither of them are supplied).

● The HDZ 100 roof duct is available as an accessory under part number 20410032 from specialist deal-

ers.

Important

Do not cut the cables, as otherwise the proper functioning of the unit can no longer be guaran-

teed.

● Provisionally insert the roof duct into the drilled hole (Fig. A).

● Place the mounting plate on the roof of the vehicle, such that the centre hole is positioned centrally to

the cable gland. The arrow symbol must be visible from above and point forwards in the direction

of travel of the vehicle (Fig. B).

● Markthepositionsofthesixfasteningholesontheroofofthevehicleinapitchcircle.

Note

The size of the holes and the choice of fastening screws to be used (not supplied) depend on the type

and thickness of the materials used in the roof structure. If the roof panelling (plastic roofs) is suf-

cientlystrong,itisrecommendedthatroundheadscrews,plainwashersandself-lockingnutsare

● Create the holes necessary to secure the mounting plate (Fig. C).

● In addition to the screwed connection, the mounting plate and roof duct must be bonded to the roof with

adhesiveandsealed.ThisisdoneusingtheSikaex

®

291i adhesive sealant supplied, which is ideally

suited for this purpose due to its broad range of adhesion. Please note the following points:

– It is essential that you have carefully read through the safety data sheet for Sikaex

®

prod-

ucts and the technical data sheet in this installation manual before you start working with

the Sikaex

®

291i adhesive sealant!

– The prerequisite for good adhesive properties is a clean, dry and grease-free substrate. You should

therefore clean the roof surface with a suitable cleaning agent within a circumference of 17 cm

around the drilled hole and allow the surface to dry thoroughly.

– Ifthesurfaceispainted,ensurethatthepaintnishissufcientlywellbondedtothesubstrate.

– If the coat of paint is already loose or peeling, it must be removed down to a stable layer in the area

to which the adhesive will bond. If you have any doubts concerning the adhesive properties, consult

a paint and lacquer specialist, or the manufacturer of your vehicle.

– Under certain circumstances, it may be necessary for you to improve the adhesive properties of

the roof surface by pre-treatment with a cleaning agent available from specialist dealers (e.g. Sika

®

Cleaner) or a primer (e.g. Sika

®

Primer).

● The procedure for gluing the mounting plate is as follows:

Fig. D

① Recess for cable

② Adhesive area between the two grooves

– Ensure before starting adhesive work that the processing temperature of materials to be glued and

the adhesive sealant is between +5°C and +40°C. Prepare all necessary fastening elements and

tools.

15 of 64

– Prepare the tube of adhesive sealant in accordance with the instructions enclosed with the tube.

– Remove the roof duct (Fig. A) again and apply the adhesive sealant evenly to the underside of the

roofductange.

– Replacetheroofductinthedrilledholeandpressitrmlyagainsttheroofofthevehicle.

– Apply the adhesive sealant evenly to the underside of the mounting plate, completely covering the

area within the circular groove (Fig. D).

This area of the vehicle roof must be completely coated with adhesive in order to achieve the nec-

essary bonding force.

– Place the mounting plate onto the roof of the vehicle, as you did previously when marking out the

drilled holes.

Make sure that the arrow on the mounting plate points forwards in the direction of travel of the

vehicle.

The fastening holes must be perfectly aligned with the prepared holes in the roof.

– Fastenthemountingplateinplacewiththepreparedscrews,evenlytighteningsixscrewsacross

the diagonals.

Note

Theadhesivesealantusediscapableofllingsmallgapscausedbythecurvatureofthevehicleroof.

However, you should ensure that the mounting plate is not bent by tightening the screws.

– Remove any adhesive sealant that leaks out at the sides with a clean cloth or if necessary with

Sikaex

®

Remover (available from specialist dealers). Do not use cleaning agents or thinners

containing solvents, as this could damage the sealant applied under the mounting plate. Use only

cleansing paste and water to clean your hands.

– Secure the cable gland from inside the vehicle by tightening the ribbed nut supplied (Fig. A).

– Note that the curing of the adhesive sealant depends on the ambient temperature and the humidity.
