Safety Instructions and General Guidelines
Using the cable core marked
Ignition
,
the power supply cable is connected to the ignition current circuit. This way, the
turntable has a function for automatic lowering of the antenna. The 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
Ignition
wires
cannot be disconnected by intermediate switches, as this could deactivate the automatic lowering function.
The antenna is lowered within 5 seconds of the ignition being switched on, even if the CAP converter is switched off.
The control unit is lowered immediately. Lowering the antenna after the ignition is switched on can take up to
30 seconds and it only functions if the turntable is connected to a 12 V power supply and to the ignition.
Checks before Commencing a Journey
●
Before commencing a journey, always lower the antenna into the horizontal position (park position).
●
If the antenna has collided with a fixed or movable object, check if the system is still securely attached.
●
As the antenna is subjected to vibration loads during driving, check at regular intervals, depending on the frequency
of driving, whether the system is still securely attached and tighten any parts that have worked loose.
●
Do not exceed the maximum permissible speed of 130 km/h for vehicles with a receiver unit mounted on the roof.
●
Lower the antenna if it will not be used for a long period. This makes the securing bolts more difficult to access
(protection against theft).
Antenna in the Park Position whilst Driving
Always lower the antenna into the horizontal position (park position) whilst driving. To remind yourself of
this, place the sticker from the supplementary sheet
CAP 750 Lowering the antenna while driving
in the
visual range of your vehicle ignition switch.
