.
Every time there’s a mode/controlled motor switch, the red and green leds are switched on.
Release the buttons as soon as the mode/motor is changed, to avoid system reset
7.6. Power off
To close the antenna and switch off the system press the ON/OFF key for 3 seconds. For a
better safety the system will automatically switch to stand-by status, closing the antenna dish,
when the vehicle engine is started.
7.7. Failures or errors
7.7.1.
Generic errors
In the following table are displayed the most common failures/errors and the related solutions, if
applicable.
Failure
Possible solution
The system does not
power up
Check the fuse on the power line.
Check that all cables are correctly plugged in
The antenna performs
the automatic satellite
search but the TV does
not display any signal
Check that the direction toward South is free from obstacles
(building, mountains, trees, …)
Check that in your location it is not necessary to compensate the
skew angle
Check if you are in the area covered by the selected satellite
Check that all cables are correctly plugged
7.7.2.
Reported errors
When iSat antenna is in pre-alarm state the ON/OFF led blinks red. The pre-alarm condition is
activated when the system detects an error that needs a slow protection.
When iSat antenna is in alarm state the ON/OFF led is steady red, and the satellite leds show
the type of error detected.
Alarm Led
Cause
1
Hotbird led red
Low battery (< 10V) or overload due to a excessive antenna
absorption
2
Astra1 led red
No communication between antenna and remote control.
Cable broken or not connected
3
Astra2 led red
Dish closing error
4
Astra3 led red
LNB broken or not powered
5
Astra4 led red
Elevation mechanical failure
6
Atlantic Bird3 led red
Rotation mechanical failure
7
All leds red
Dish closing error when engine key inserted
Notes:
In case of low battery, the error condition must be verified for at least 10 consecutive
seconds, in order to avoid false alarms due to short low voltage transitions; during these 10
seconds (pre-alarm) the ON/OFF and Hotbird led will blink red.
In the first three cases, the remote control will switch-off the antenna.
