NOTE: Why thick cable? The power consumption is very low in normal
operation but during the search (typically 1-2 minutes) the current draw is
around 4 amps. If you use light power cable the unit will search slower and
may even stall with an ERR message on the display. Low battery voltage
will also cause this. Hard wire to your van and
do not use a cigarette plug
.
(cigarette plug is fine for the VAST decoder however if applicable)
RED/WHITE/YELLOW AV Cable (or HDMI digital cable): In the packing that the
MOTOSAT control unit was shipped in is an AV cable and a HDMI cable for
connecting the MOTOSAT control unit to the television (use either one but
NOT both). Please always connect this to the tv even if you are using a
separate decoder (like Vast or PayTV) for reception. The reason for this is if
you ever have a problem with the unit it will allow the technician to receive
feedback from the MOTOSAT control unit on where the problem may be
located.
INSTALLERS PLEASE DO NOT SKIP DOING THIS!!
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before powering on the control unit ensure that the dish has clearance
above and around it – ie no obstacles in its path of travel, and that you
have a clear view of the sky.
Switch your television on and change the input to either AV (maybe called
composite) using the “Source” or “AV” button, or if the connection was
made via HDMI then to HDMI in the input/source menu. Fit batteries to the
control unit remote and press the RED power (standby) button at the top.
The dish will begin to lift and perform a search.
