Electrical Connections 

 

Note

:  This  system  is  12V  operation.    Mount  the  main  control  unit  at  the  selected 

location and connect the RF coax cable from the antenna.  Connect the antenna cable 
to the 

“Dish In” connector on the control unit. 

Mount the Display controller using the screws provided and connect the Display loom 
(Western Jack type connector) to both the Display controller and Data Box.  The main 
power supply plug (4 pin connector) can now be wired as below. 

The colours are as below: 

Red 12V Positive 

This should be on an unswitched constant 12V DC supply as close to the battery as 
possible  to  ensure  no  voltage  drop.    Alternatively  connect  to  a  reliable  12V  supply 
directly from the battery, i.e. main switchboard supply, fuse box etc. 

Black 12V Neg/Earth 

This  should  be  a  good  ground  supply  to  the  battery  or  main  earth  connection  at 
switchboard. 

Yellow 12V Ign/Switched 

This is the Auto Shut Down circuit.  It must be connected to either a switched ignition 
source or Alternator D+ connection from the vehicle charging system OR if the unit is 
installed in a caravan it can be connected to the stop light circuit. 

The circuit only needs a momentary supply to activate the auto close operation. 

Once these connections have been made the main loom containing the relay and fuse 
holder can be connected to the Data Box. 

 

To The Installer 

Once the SC52 Satellite antenna installation is completed, check the operating voltage 
whilst the dish is searching.  Optimum operating voltage is 12.00V DC 

– 14.8V DC, 

minimum threshold is 10.5V DC.  Any voltage lower than this can cause the Antenna 
to not operate correctly.
