Installation and connection
Warning
Risk of cable fires. Never bypass the fuses in the cable and in the receiver
●
At the connecting point for the power cable, the voltage must not fall below 115 V even with a load of
12 A Otherwise optimum functioning can no longer be guaranteed
●
Connect the power cable to the respective socket in your motor home or caravan (12 V or 230 V)
●
Only for
motor homes
: The third, green core of the connecting cable, marked “IGNITION”, allows you
the option of connection to a circuit in the vehicle that is activated when the ignition key is turned and
then carries a continuous 12 V supply This type of connection ensures that when the engine is started
the antenna is automatically lowered into the park position (the receiver does not need to be turned
on)
Note
Note that the antenna can be lowered only when the supply voltage is present in addition to the ignition
signal!
●
Check the connections before you reconnect the on-board power supply

Under certain circumstances, problems can arise when the units are connected to different connecting
sockets or circuits/earth potentials If no others are available, it is recommended that you connect the con-
necting sockets for receiver and TV set to the same cable, as shown in Fig G The power rating of the cir-
cuit used must be checked with respect to the intended application
Further information on operating the receiver can be found in the operating manual supplied with the unit
