Unpacking and preparation
Remove the turntable from the packaging. Retain the original
packaging, as if it is necessary to send the unit for repair transport
damage cannot be ruled out and the manufacturer accepts no liability
for possible damage.
Loosen the six fastening screws (width: 10 mm). Carefully lift
the turntable off the mounting plate and place it on the prepared
support beams. It must be ensured that the cable running out of the
underside of the turntable is not crushed.
Selecting the installation location
Essentially, the cable lengths of the MobiSet 3 digital CAP 310
components allow you a free choice of installation location on your
caravan or motorhome.
However, you should take note of the following points:
• Before installation, you should fi nd out whether the operating manual
for your vehicle permits the fi tting of non-vehicle specifi c parts or
what requirements need to be met in order to do so.
• For direct satellite reception, there should not be any obstructions
between the antenna and the satellite. Therefore, make sure that
the antenna is not shadowed by roof extensions such as baggage
carriers, air conditioning units, solar panels, etc. The problem of
shadowing applies also for the selection of the parking place for your
vehicle. For interference-free satellite reception, the antenna needs
an imaginary free view to the South at an angle of between 15°
and 55° (depending on location) to the horizontal.
• The turntable has, together with the BAS 60 planar antenna, a
circular action area with a diameter of approx. 96 cm. Make sure that
there are no roof extensions within this range (collision danger).
• Choose a mounting position on the roof that is as fl at as possible as,
depending on the location of the vehicle, roof inclines greater than
10° may lead to problems searching for the satellite.
