Functional Specification
The electric heating prevents snow and ice formation on the antenna r
eflector surface which lead to interruptions in the
satellite reception.
The heating for the antenna consists of a special heating mat with an integrated heat insulation and PTFE isolated
heating elements.
After installation, the heating mat fits on the reflector in an optimum way and guarantees a good heat distribution. The
heating mat has an integrated temperature switch that turns off the heating at 80 °C so that the system can be directly
operated at 230 V/50 Hz. To ensure that operation is as economical as possible, it is recommended to use a control
device (ESO 005).
Installation and Safety Instructions
DANGER
Danger to life from electric shock
!
►
Disconnect all devices and units from the power supply during installation.
►
In order to comply with the regulations for outdoor installation according to DIN VDE 0100 Part 610, it is
recommended to have a residual current circuit breaker with a residual current of 0.03 A installed.
►
Make sure that the system is installed and connected only by qualified specialist personnel.
►
Make sure that modifications to electrical installations are only carried out by a specialist. Do not make any
unauthorised changes yourself.
WARNING
Risk of severe injuries during installation due to falling from the roof, falling through the roof and falling
parts!
►
Wear stable shoes with non-slip soles.
►
Use a working platform.
►
Make sure that the person carrying out the installation or repair has a secure position to stand and hold on whilst working.
►
Make sure that the person carrying out the installation or repair does not suffer from vertigo and can move
around safely on the installation site.
►
Make sure that the vehicle roof is sufficiently strong and stable.
►
Make sure that there is nobody underneath the antenna during installation/dismantling.
►
Make sure that the roof and climbing aid are dry, clean and non-slip.

Installing the Heating Mat
1. Clean and degrease the antenna back panel.
2. Hold the heating mat on the antenna back panel to test the position.
3.
NOTICE
Risk of material damage due to the incorrect attachment of the heating mat!
If the heating mat is not attached to the antenna in a correct way, it can tear while the adhesive film is being removed.
►
Make sure that the heating mat is aligned in the correct way. To do so, place the heating mat flush with
the outer edge of the antenna and pay attention to the equal distance on the antenna bracket. After the
heating mat has been secured, the correction is no longer possible!
4. Remove the protective film from the adhesive area.
5. Press the heating mat firmly to the antenna back panel.
6. To prevent moisture and insects from entering the heating mat, adhere the mesh-reinforced aluminium foil all along
the edges of the mat.
