Thoroughly inspect the roof rack of a vehicle, to ensure, that it can withstand the

dynamic load of antenna with 32 kg. Before assembly inspect, that the roof rack is in

good condition. For adjusting and fixing the mounting brackets seek the assistance of

technicians to keep safety and safe operation of the vehicle.

When the antenna ANT1500 is properly mounted, it increases vehicle height by at least

26.5cm above the roof of the vehicle. This includes a minimum 2.5cm gap between

atenna and roof of the vehicle necessary for air circulation, plus the height of the

antenna itself 24cm. Be aware of the new vehicle height with the antenna mounted

above the roof rack. Be careful when driving through underpasses, when underground

parking and other areas of the reduced underpass.

1.2. Set Top Box Compatibility (STB)

Some STB are more sensitive than the others and may cause a degradation in performance

during marginal conditions, such as heavy rain, heavy snow and also when it is partially

blocked the view to the satellite („Line of sight“ (LOS)). STB model should be selected to

ensure the compatibility of the selected SAT receiver with antenna. To achieve the best

quality picture it is appropriate to consult with the technical support from MOLPIR the type,

model STB, as well as initial setting of STB and IDU unit of the antenna itself.

1.3.Reception of mobile satellite TV

Antenna ANT1500 is designed to receive satellite television via the Direct Broadcast

Satellite (DBS) satellites, located 35,000 km in space. This system requires a clear view to

the skies above the equator to maximize the signal reception. Other factors, such as

satellite coverage area, elevation angle, and weather also contribute to the signal quality.

Satellite coverage

You must be located within the satellite’s coverage area for proper reception. As you begin

to travel outside of this coverage area, the signal becomes weaker.

Line Of Sight (LOS) interruption

The SR1500 antenna needs a clear line of sight (LOS) or view to the satellite for

uninterrupted reception. Objects such as buildings, mountains, bridges, tunnels and trees

that block this view will cause a loss of signal. The signal will, however, be quickly restored

once the antenna has a clear LOS again.

Line of Sight – The system ANT1500 needs to have a clear line of sight (LOS) - line of

sight (LOS) to the southern sky , in order to receive the satellite signal. Placing the antenna

too close to other equipment on the roof, such as A/C units, may interfere with the signal

reception. Use the chart below to determine the minimum distance needed between the

antenna and the the potential LOS blockage.

~ 6 ~

If the vehicle is parked, rain, morning dew, or snow in winter may accumulate on the

antenna. This may cause interference to satellite signal. When the vehicle is in motion

any standing water should be drain down the antenna and interference should cease.

Clean the antenna cover with a clean soft cloth if necessary. Some anti-water products

are intended, to prevent the accumulation of water, snow and dew on the cover of the

antenna. If you will use them, you will avoid these conditions.

1.4.System overview

Antenna ANT1500 provides live satellite TV in a vehicle while in motion as well as while

being stationary. Antenna is suitable for installation on any vehicle. It includes the actual

roof antenna (ODU), antenna control unit (IDU), necessary cables and installation material.

Antenna is designed, determined and robust enough for operation on the roof of the vehicle

for.

Antenna ANT1500 is available in two versions:

Uni Pol/Single polarization - (one cable connection) antenna has one output and

thus provides output signal only in one polarization (HORIZONTAL or VERTICAL) and

that either in Low or High band

Dual Pol antenna has three outputs and thus provides output signal in HORIZONTAL

and VERTICAL polarization and in Low as well as High band.

According to the selected version will result from antenna into the vehicle interior 1, 2

or 3 coaxial cables.

IMPORTANT: ANT1500 Outputs, which are not in use, must be blinded by TNC-BLEND

(optional equipment of Antenna).

1.5. Power supply requirement

Electrical consumption of the components of antenna ANT1500 is described in detail

below.

Standard energy consumption is important for the general dimensioning of the power

system of the vehicle.

Maximum power consumption is determined according extreme conditions, where the

antenna uses full power of the DC engine to rotate the platform of antenna and also

running of the stepper engine tilt of active panel of the antenna.

It is necessary, that the total power consumption before planning antenna took into

account another consuption for peripherals . Actual installation should be made by

those skilled in the art.

2 Installing the Antenna on a vehicle roof

For selecting the location on the rooftop consider these guidelines:

Select flat surface

Do not place antenna close to mechanical blockage (A/C unit etc…) to not block

satellite view

Do not place antenna close to 3G/4G antennas to avoid electromagnetic

interferences

Determine where the antenna cables will enter into vehicle´s interior. This is

usually in the cab area or close to place, where the power source is located. When

placing the antenna on the roof, side of antenna with TNC connectors should be

facing the point of entry of cables into vehicle.

2.4.2 To secure position of bracket to the roof, drill hole Ø 7 mm (drill Ø 3 mm first, if

necessary) through foot and insert locating pin (clench nut Ø 7). Then drill rest of

holes, into this way secured foot, see Fig. 6.4.2.

2.4.3 To avoid a change of crossbars, mark on them driving direction and order of

crossbars (Fig. 6.4.3.).

2.4.4 If there is no entrance hole into interior for cable on the roof, you have to make it.

Place antenna on crossbars and lead cable that way not to be broken and not to be

too long. Mark point, where coax cable will enter into interior. This point supposes

to be close to the TNC connector of antenna, but should allow to make smooth radius

of cable entering to interior. In this point drill hole Ø 3 mm and then hole with

gradual drill (Fig. 6.4.4.)
