1.5.3
Installation of the mounting plate
After having decided the mounting location and after having verified antenna positioning during
stand-by related to driving direction, mark on the roof the corner points of the mounting plate.
ATTENTION
It’s absolutely needed to mark the roof of the vehicle with a line, in order to exclude the
possibility to mount the assembly plate in a wrong direction. MobilSat antenna can be mounted
in only one direction; LNB must be oriented towards the rear of the vehicle. All other positions
will not be considered as correct and will cause immediate guarantee expiration.
The assembly plate must be glued to the roof using a
commercially available sealing compound. For the cleaning of
the roof and the assembly plate use a special cleaning agent
recommended by the manufacturer of the sealing compound
(e.g. SikaFlex, Teroson 1K-Pur). After the sealing compound
has been dried, apply the sealing compound to the bottom of
the plate and strongly apply the plate to the roof of the vehicle.
If the roof of the caravan does not have the needed
consistency, fix the plate with the tapping screws, in order to
obtain a stable and safe assembly. The manufacturer can not
be indicated as responsible for damages caused by an
incorrect mounting.
1.5.4
Mounting of the external system
Connect the cable set to the external unit. The cable can be plugged in the proper connector
using the dedicated space in the lower part of the unit. After this, insert the cable in the small
recess on the base of the plate and mount the external unit on the assembly plate, centering it
on prisoners and fixing with the four M6 bolts and the related washers. The two M6 bolts
covered by the antenna rotating base will set after installation, after moved the antenna.If the
plate has been mounted correctly, now the LNB points exactly to the rear of the vehicle.
After having blocked the antenna with raised arm you can mount the dish. To ensure perfect
fixing use the 4 screws and the plastic washers with medium-strength threadlock glue.
1.5.5
Passing the cables through the roof
To pass the cables through the roof use, if available, the system adopted by the manufacturer of
the caravan. If no default manufacturers’ system is available, install a cable through (available in
package) with a diameter of at least 16mm.
Block the cable between the external unit and the cable through, in order to avoid movements
that can cause cable wear or break.
Check carefully the point where cable pass through the roof and the strength of the
blocking screws, if used.
