Operate the system from your vehicle‘s battery (12 V) or a suitable
mains power pack. This mains power pack must guarantee a stable
initial voltage of 12 V, 11 A continuous current and 15 A (300 ms) surge
current.
The transient power consumption is up to a maximum of 12 A.
To ensure reliable functioning of the connecting/control unit, the power
supply cable must be connected directly to the battery. If the power
supply is too low, the UFD 170 /UFD 540 receiver indicates this with
the on-screen message “On-board voltage too low” on the television
screen.
A 15 A fuse is integrated into the power supply cable.
If the fuse responds, the source of the fault must be eliminated and the
defective fuse replaced with a fuse of the same rated value (15 A).
Power supply, fusing
Never remove or bridge the fuse in the cable – cable fi re hazard!
The UFD 170 (on the front side) and the HDS 160 (in the connection
area on the back side) have a removable 10 A fl at fuse.
If the fuse responds, the source of the fault must be eliminated and the
defective fuse replaced with a fuse of the same rated value.
Connecting the power supply cable wire marked “Ignition” to
the ignition circuit activates the turntable function for automatic
lowering of the antenna. This lowering takes place as soon as the
vehicle ignition circuit is turned on.
When connecting the control unit to the on-board network, it must
be ensured that the “+12V”, “Earth” and “Ignition” wires cannot be
broken by switches connected in series, as this can deactivate the
automatic lowering function.
The antenna lowers after max. 12 seconds after the switching on
of the vehicle ignition circuit (if in stand-by and if the UFD 170
is switched off, otherwise the control unit lowers immediately in
operation).
Safety instructions - important notes
Checks before commencing a journey
• Before commencing a journey, the antenna must always be lowered
into horizontal position (park position). If the antenna has collided
with fi xed or moving objects, you must check that is still securely
fi tted.
• As the antenna is subjected to vibration loads during driving, at
regular intervals, depending on the frequency of driving, you should
check that the system is still securely fi tted and tighten any parts that
have come loose.
• The maximum permissible speed for vehicles with a BAS 60
receiver unit mounted on the roof is 130 km/h.
• Lower the antenna if it will not be used for a long period. This makes
the securing bolts more diffi cult to access (protection against theft).
