Safety instructions - important notes Safety during installation work When carrying out installation work in locations with a risk of falling, take appropriate safety precautions, e.g. use of a working platform. Make sure that the vehicle roof is sufficiently strong and stable to carry out the installation work (risk of damage or collapse of roof). In case of doubt, contact a qualified specialist dealer or the manufacturer of your vehicle to find an appropriate installation location.
Safety instructions - important notes Proper installation and safety Fundamental information A crucial safety factor is proper performance of installation and electrical connection work, and the specified alignment of the turntable in the direction of travel (park position), see also installation and connection. Heed as precisely as possible the installation conditions and steps described.
Safety instructions - important notes Power supply, fusing 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.
Safety instructions - important notes Safety precautions during installation During installation of the turntable, make sure that no persons, in particular children, are in the immediate vicinity of the turntable and that they do cannot touch any moving parts – danger of crushing! Always unplug the power supply during installation work. Lowering the antenna while driving While driving, the antenna must always be lowered to the horizontal position (park position).
Safety instructions - important notes If the fuse responds, the source of the fault must be eliminated. The defective fuse should only ever be replaced with a fuse of the same rated value. Never remove or bridge the fuse in the cable or in the receiver (UFD 170)! Cable fire hazard! 3. Connecting the power supply cable lead marked “Ignition” activates the turntable function for automatic lowering of the antenna. This lowering takes place as soon as the vehicle ignition circuit is turned on.
Installation and connection Required tools and equipment • • • • • • • • • • • • • Circular cutter, Ø 38 mm Flat-bladed screwdriver for M5 screws Drilling machine Galvanised tallow drop screws, depending on roof structure (Ø: 5 mm, sheet metal screws D 7981, depending on roof panel structure) or tallow drop screws D 7985 with shims and nuts Twist drill, Ø 2.5 or 5.
Installation and connection • To ensure secure adhesion, the height difference of the roof curve may not be more than 1 cm over a length of 2 m, as otherwise the gap between the roof and the mounting plate would be too big to be filled by the sealing glue. • As the vehicle is constantly subjected to vibration loads during travel, the roof below the antenna unit is also subject to significant loads.
Installation and connection Installation steps Installation of cable duct and mounting plate Note: If you have previously used a Kathrein HDM140/141 flexible satellite mast or another mast with a diameter of 34 mm, you can continue using the existing duct hole in the roof (if space allows). Figure: A • In the centre of the intended position of the turntable, drill the opening for the cable duct with a circular cutter (Ø: 38 mm). Deburr the hole with a round file or emery paper.
Installation and connection • For very thin roof panel materials and insufficient support in the insulating material, through holes (Ø: 5.5 mm) into the interior of the vehicle are necessary and galvanised M5 tallow drop screws of sufficient length should be used. Make sure that you use a sufficiently strong support that can absorb the screw forces (large plain washer or complete reinforcing plate). Figure: C *) (not included) • Create the holes necessary to secure the mounting plate (Fig. C).
Installation and connection Figure: D Recess for cable Adhesive surfaces between two grooves • Note before starting glueing work that the optimal processing temperature of materials to be glued and the sealing glue is between +15 °C und +25 °C. Prepare all necessary fastening elements and tools. • Prepare the tube of sealing glue in accordance with the instructions enclosed with the tube. • Remove the roof duct (Fig. A) and apply the sealing glue evenly to the underside of the roof duct flange.
Installation and connection Installation of turntable Version with cable duct below turntable (Fig. E) Figure: E • Check that the O ring is correctly positioned in the groove of the cable duct (Fig. A). An incorrectly positioned or missing O ring will allow water to penetrate. • Feed the ends of the cables with the connectors as far as possible through the cable duct into the interior of the vehicle.
Installation and connection Version with external cable duct (Fig. F) Figure: F *) (not included) • Arrange the cables in the cable duct when placing the turntable onto the mounting plate. Make sure that the cables are not crossed over and that they are tightened so that they cannot be kinked. Do not try to pull the cable out of the unit. This could damage the cable or loosen the cable connections. • Place the turntable carefully on the mounting plate.
Installation and connection Brief instructions for installing the HDP 171 The sequence of pictures shown illustrates all the necessary installation steps that are required to assemble the HDP 171 turntable and the BAS 60 planar antenna on the roof of the vehicle. The other detailed instructions in this operating manual must also be followed! For ease of illustration, we have dismantled the BAS 60 on these photographs. As supplied, the BAS 60 is pre-mounted on the HDP 171.
Installation and connection Set up electrical connections. Connect UFD 170/UFD 540 receiver. Connect connecting/control unit to battery. The antenna must always be lowered into horizontal position (park position) while driving! Maximum driving speed of the vehicle: 130 km/h Installation of UFD 170 The turntable is actuated exclusively by the UFD 170 combi satellite receiver. The cable lengths must be taken into account when choosing the installation location.
Installation and connection Laying cables and connecting the turntable HDP 171 • Lay the control cable (8-pole Western connector), the coaxial cable and the power supply cable (2-pole connector) to the UFD 170. Avoid laying the cables across sharp edges and secure the cable against possible abrasion points. • Connect the control cable to the “POSITIONER” connecting socket on the rear of the UFD 170. Repeat for the power supply cable, which has to be connected to the two “POWER OUT” cables.
Installation and connection Only for connection in a motorhome, not in a caravan! • The third, green connecting cable wire, marked “IGNITION” allows you a free choice of connection to a circuit in the vehicle that is activated when the ignition key is turned and then carries a constant 12 V voltage. This type of connection ensures that when the engine is started the antenna is automatically lowered into the park position (the receiver does not need to be turned on).
Installation and connection Connection example motorhome - 12 V battery connection (UFD 170) Fig: G Note: To prevent damage to the HTV 115 electronics, it must be ensured that the supply voltage is in the range 10.5 to 14.5 V. If your charger does not guarantee this, contact a specialist in vehicle electrics.
Installation and connection Connection example caravan - 230 V battery connection (UFD 170) Fig: H 8-pole brown white green Note! 6-pole Do not connect. Option not available. The antenna must be lowered before departure.
BAS 60 planar antenna Proper use The BAS 60 flat antenna is used to receive digital TV and radio signals in the frequency range from 10.70 to 12.75 GHz. It cannot receive terrestrial signals. The BAS 60 has been designed for mobile use, to receive satellite signals in stationary caravans, motorhomes or trucks. The antenna’s fastening was attuned to the HDP 171 turntable. The alignment of the antenna occurs automatically when you switch on the UFD 170 receiver and select the TV programme.
BAS 60 planar antenna Reception range/footprint The footprint is the reception area on the earth that a satellite covers with its transmission beam (spot), within which satellite reception is possible. The transmission power is at its greatest in the centre of this spot – it becomes progressively weaker moving outwards. You should preferably align your antenna to the position of the ASTRA satellite 19.2° East (picture below left), EUTELSAT/ HOTBIRD 13° East (picture below right).
Polarisation setting Polarisation setting As supplied, the BAS 60 is mounted centrally on the turntable. In this position, you can also receive signals from satellites with deviations in the degree of longitude (of the typical reception range) of between 15° and 20° from the orbit position of the satellite.
Polarisation setting Safety notes We strongly advise that users who are not familiar with the installation work should not reassemble the BAS 60 independently. They should contact a technician or engineer. They may find a suitable person on the campsite.
Polarisation setting In motorhome/caravan To dismantle/install the planar antenna from the turntable, proceed as follows: (the key names refer to the remote control for the UFD 170 receiver) 1. Turn on the receiver with the main switch on the front of the unit. 2. Press the Standby button ( ) to start up the receiver. 3. First of all, “Welcome UFD 170” and you will then see the message “Please wait, initialising HDP”. 4.
