Installation and Connection

–

Ensure before starting adhesive work that the processing temperature of materials to be glued and the adhesive 
sealant is b5 °C and +35 °C. Prepare all necessary fastening elements and tools.

–

Prepare the tube of adhesive sealant in accordance with the instructions enclosed with the tube.

–

Remove the roof duct (Fig. A) and apply the adhesive sealant evenly to the underside of the roof duct flange.

–

Place the roof duct in the drilled hole and press it firmly against the roof of the vehicle.

–

Apply the adhesive sealant evenly to the underside of the mounting plate, completely covering the area within the 
circular groove (Fig. D). This area of the vehicle roof must be completely coated with adhesive in order to achieve 
the necessary bonding force.

–

Place the mounting plate onto the roof of the vehicle, as you did previously when marking out the drilled holes. 
Make sure that the arrow on the mounting plate points forwards in the direction of travel of the vehicle and that 
the fastening holes are perfectly aligned with the prepared holes in the roof.

–

Fasten the mounting plate in place with the prepared screws, evenly tightening six screws across the diagonals.

NOTICE

Risk of material damage due to applying too much force when tightening the screws!

The adhesive sealant used is capable of filling small gaps caused by the curvature of the vehicle roof. If you 
apply too much force when tightening the screws, the mounting plate could be bent.

►

Tighten the screws carefully.

–

Use a clean colourless cloth to remove any adhesive sealant that leaks out at the sides. Pay attention to the 
following:

~

Do not use any cleaning agents or thinners containing solvents, as this could damage the adhesive sealant 
applied under the mounting plate.

~

It is recommended to soak the cloth in acetone or MEK. Apply the cloth soaked in acetone or MEK to an incon-
spicuous area to make sure that it does not adversely affect or damage the surface.

~

Use only cleansing paste and water to clean your hands.

–

Secure the cable gland from inside the vehicle by tightening the ribbed nut supplied (Fig. A).

–

Note that the curing of the adhesive sealant depends on the ambient temperature and the humidity. 
The final strength is reached only after approx. 2 days. However, this need not restrict further installation work, 
since the mounting plate is held in place by the tightened screws. 

5.1.5  Possibilities of the Turntable Installation

Variant with Cable Gland underneath the Turntable

1.  Lay the cables supplied with the turntable (2 × coax cables and 1 x power supply cable) into the mounting plate as 

indicated by the markings on the mounting plate (see Fig. E1).

2.  Feed the remaining lengths of cable through the roof gland into the interior of the motor home / caravan.
3.  Lift up the turntable and place it carefully on the mounting plate facing in the direction of travel (see Fig. E2). Make 

sure not to step on the plug connector and not to kink / crush the cables.

4.  Align the through holes on the turntable with the threaded holes on the mounting plate.
5.  Allow the turntable to rest on the front edge of the mounting plate.
6.  Keep the turntable supported at an angle (see Fig. E1) and insert a suitable piece of wood underneath it.
7.  Lay and connect the turntable cables in the mounting plate as indicated on the mounting plate, see Fig. E1. Take 

particular care that the two master coaxial cables, marked red, are connected to each other.

8.  Tighten the coaxial cable plugs finger-tight, using no tools.
9.  Tighten the coaxial cable plugs lightly using an open-ended 11 AF spanner.
10. Lower the turntable back on to the mounting plate. Make sure that the cables are fed through the cable gland and are 

not snagged.

11. Apply a little adhesive sealant to the six threaded holes in the mounting plate and screw the fastening screws into the 

thread. Tighten the screws to a torque of 6 Nm.

12. To prevent water vapour from inside the vehicle reaching the turntable through the roof gland, thread the three cables
