Introduction These instructions describe the functions and operation of the automatic satellite system. Installation instructions can be found in the installation manual supplied with the system. Correct and safe operation of the system can only be ensured by following the two sets of instructions, both for installation and operation.
Proper use and operation This product has been designed for use in a fixed installation on mobile homes or camper trailers with maximum speeds of 130 km/h. It is designed to automatically aim a parabolic antenna mounted on a stationary vehicle at geostationary television satellites transmitting directly to Europe. Power to the system is supplied by a standard vehicle electric system with a rated voltage of 12/24 Volt DC.
Safety instructions In order to ensure that your Vision system works properly, you must ensure that it is correctly connected to the ignition of your vehicle (see Installation Instructions). When it is correctly installed, the antenna automatically returns to the park position when the ignition is switched on and locks itself there.
Safety instructions Note on Safety - Oyster Vision III Stop function via the control device and the remove of the power supply during maintenance. Press the Selection button on the keypad on the control device to stop the movement of the antenna. In this stop mode no receiver DiSEqC control commands are executed more. To abolished the stop function scroll via Search“ and pressing the Selection button , which causes that enters the antenna. on the keypad to select „Auto .
The first steps All controls are handled via the control device. Vision On / Off All controls are handled via the control device. You may choose any location you like to install the control device, but please bear in mind that it is not waterproof. You may still need to remove the protective film from the display. The display of the control device will show the various current operating modes of the system.
Switching ON / switching OFF Vision On / Off System starts search from last position There are two ways of switching the Vision III antenna system on and off: The system can always be switched on and off via the button on the control device or by switching the receiver on and off. If you want the system to respond when switching the receiver on or off, then menu item „Receiver control“ must be enabled. See section „Receiver control“.
Menu operation Vision On / Off The arrow keys and Selection button Scroll are used to navigate through all levels of the menu. Using these keys, select a submenu, function or setting. Press to enable the displayed menu item. Within the settings, you can change the displayed values within the set limits by pressing the arrow keys and . Then press to accept the set value and return to the higher-level menu. Use button to return to the selection level without saving the data.
Menu tree The functions of the keys are explained in section „Menu operation“.
Automatic search After switching on the system with button , the antenna opens and moves into the position in which a satellite was last received. If no satellite is found, the system starts the automated search for the selected satellite. If you wish to select another satellite, please refer to section „Search Satellite“: Selecting a satellite for automatic search and Satellite swap When the search satellite is found, the search function stops and the TV signal is looped through.
SAT mode SAT mode This display indicates that the system is in signal reception mode. Press to display the currently received satellite. Entering the position „Entering the position“ is a selectable option of the main menu. Press a list of countries, and use the buttons to scroll the list and use lect your location. This speeds up the satellite search. to access to se- The antenna is then optimally adjusted for the satellite search from your current position (LNB and inclination angle).
Programming the swap satellites: Automatic search Press to start the automatic search for the satellite specified in menu option „Search satellite“ Swap satellite Press to select one of four differnet satellites SAT mode Press to display the search satellite of the automatic search Selection of position Selection of a position from a list; speeds up the finding of the search satellite Manual search Manual control of the antenna dish Signal optimisation Main menu Press to access the settings l
Manual satellite search The manual search is usually used to fine-tune the antenna to a found satellite in case of adverse reception conditions. If you wish to receive signals from a new satellite that is not yet stored as a search satellite in the control unit, the manual search function can be used to tune the system to this satellite. Firstly, switch your receiver to a preset station that is transmitted by the satellite selected.
Using the arrow keys, adjust both system axes and the skew angle to the strongest receivable signal. After setting the antenna to an optimal reception, select the „store“ function of option „store ?“ and press again to store this position. The stored position will then be resumed the next time the system is switched back on. Even if no satellite signal is received in this position, the automatic search will not be started if you have stored a manually set position before.
Main menu – Access to settings The „Main menu“ is a selectable option of the general menu. Press Main menu to access the settings levels. in the option These levels provide the options „Settings“ (General information)“ and „Satellite settings“. Please refer to the corresponding sections. Restarting the system As with any other computer-controlled device, it is possible for the software in your Vision system to “crash”. This may be caused by external influences, e.g.
Receiver control Access via level 1 „Main menu“ and and „Settings“ Receiver control: With this menu option you can configure the optional settings for the system control by the receiver. By selecting the mode, you can determine if and how the system is started by the receiver. Mode 1 „Auto off“ (default setting) l This mode is recommended for receivers that never switch off the LNB voltage, or if you wish that the receiver shall not control the antenna.
Note! The vehicle‘s switched ignition voltage via terminal 15 has ultimate priority. When the ignition is switched on or if the engine is started, the antenna will always close and can only be operated again after the ignition has been switched off.
Language Selection of the language for the texts displayed on the control device. Dimmer Backlighting: The backlighting can be adjusted in 16 increments between off (dark) and maximum brightness. The lighting period cannot be adjusted, and the backlighting switches off after approx. 1.5 minutes to save power. The display remains active. The backlighting is switched on with every time a button is pressed or is extended by the fixed period.
AUX relay – switched terminal for TV set The Vision III control unit provides a switched terminal that can be used to switch the TV set‘s power supply on and off. This switched terminal is always closed when the Vision system is in operation and opens when the system is switched off (standby or sleep). The TV set is then always disconnected from the on-board electric system when the Vision system is not in operation, thereby saving standby power.
Search satellite Access via level 1 „Main menu“ See menu tree. and and „Satellite settings“ Search satellite for automatic search In its supplied state, a search satellite for the automatic search is already configured in your Vision system‘s control unit. Select the satellite transmitting your preferred channel and that is receivable at your current location. To receive English-language programmes in Europe, „Astra II“ is recommended in most cases.
Satellite settings / DiSEqC: on / off Satellites are changed using the receiver‘s DiSEqC signals. The signals or the DiSEqC ID of the receiver must comply with the ID list saved in the control unit of your Vision system. 16 satellites with a DiSEqC ID number are preset in your Vision system (see table). The DiSEqC function is active when the DiSEqC option has been enabled or if „DiSEqC“ is set to On with the Vision III control unit being on! No. Satellite name DiSEqC ID 1 Astra 1 19.
Satellite settings / DiSEqC V3-ID This function allows you to display and edit a DiSEqC ID number from the list stored in the Vision system‘s DiSEqC ID list. Select a satellite and press the OK button to confirm. The DiSEqC ID number is displayed. At this point you can set the DiSEqC ID number that your receiver is sending for this satellite.
What is DiSEqC? The increasing number of TV satellites gave rise to the demand of being able to receive channels from different satellites. To facilitate the switching between different satellites, the DiSEqC system has been developed. This system is incorporated in the receiver and generates a switching signal that allows the user to view channels of several satellites by simply changing the TV channel. The system was initially designed for permanently installed home systems.
