TIPS on the best use
When you park your vehicle, make sure that:
1) No obstacle (for example trees) is too near your antenna, preventing it from moving
freely. No metal or glass wall is very near (about 5 m) the antenna, since this would
act as a mirror for satellite signals and could induce the antenna to point towards it.
2) In case of snow or ice actuating the Flat Sat Light free it in order to avoid wasting
battery power in order to lift it.
3) If you decide to turn the engine of your vehicle on in order to re-charge its batteries,
with the safety cable connected to the ignition key, the antenna, if lifted, will come
down automatically and it will not be possible to lift it again as long as the engine is
running.
4) Make sure that your batteries are always sufficiently charged, since, if the voltage falls
below 10 Volts, the Flat Sat Light electronic safety circuit will prevent the antenna from
rising.
5) Should you use 12 Volt feeders instead of batteries in order to feed the Flat Sat Light,
be careful to use high quality stabilized feeders with a supplied power of at least 10A.
At all costs, avoid using low quality, non stabilized battery feeders.
Trouble-shooting
If the Flat Sat Light
has not found the satellite after a complete search, check the following:
a) Is the view towards the South free from any obstacle?
b) Is the place you are at within the reception area of the satellite you have chosen?
c) Is the cable connecting the LNB to the antenna firmly fastened? It could have been
ripped off or come loose because of contact with an unexpected
d) Are all the connections on the Control Unit properly set up?
If the antenna has stopped after performing pointing, but neither messages nor images
appear on the screen:
a Is the SCART cable connected?
b If the TV set is not connected by a SCART cable, but is connected by a COAX cable
to the TV socket, have you chosen the right programme on
If the antenna does not move when you press the Red push-button, check the
a) Are the RED and BLACK cables properly connected to the battery? The RED cable
must be on the + pole, the BLACK cable on the - pole.
b) Should you have mixed up the cables, first disconnect them, replace the safety fuse
on the bottom of the Control Unit using a similar one (10 A), then re-connect the
RED and BLACK cables properly to the battery.
c) Is the engine on your vehicle running? Turn it off, since this means the safety
system which keeps the antenna down is operating.
