Kathrein cap910 manual Direction of travel

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

•When selecting the installation position, take into account the range of movement of the turntable (see the grey shaded area in the graphics). Within this grey area there must be no structures on the roof that would obstruct this movement (risk of collision). For safety, keep at least the required area of 1024 x 1250 mm free (for ease of installation and any subsequent dismantling).

Direction of travel

Roof attachments may be mounted within the hatched area.

Turntable movement range with antenna, viewed from above onto the vehicle roof.

Safety clearances should be maintained from the roof attachments (e.g. due to build-up of ice)

•Choose an installation position on the roof that is as flat as possible: depending on the location of the vehicle, roof pitches greater than 5° may lead to problems when searching for the satellite.

•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 great to be filled by the adhesive sealant.

•As the vehicle is constantly subjected to vibration loads during travel, the roof below the antenna unit is also subject to significant loads. Please note given the nature and capacity of your vehicle roof (see also operating manual for the vehicle) that the weight of the antenna unit is approx. 19 kg. In case of doubt, consult a qualified dealer or your vehicle’s manufacturer.

•The roof gland provides a watertight seal through which the three connection cables (2 x coax cables, 1 x power supply cable) are fed into the interior of the vehicle directly underneath the turntable. If you prefer a different method of laying the cables, they can be run from the rear of the turntable via the channel provided in the mounting plate. The cables must then be run along the roof of the vehicle in a protective cable duct (not supplied). For the roof gland, use the HDZ 100 (BN 20410032) sealant available from specialist dealers as an accessory.

Note: Do not cut the cables short, as otherwise the proper functioning of the unit can no longer be guaranteed.
