Startup and operation
1. Turn on the control unit. The current firmware version will be displayed.
2. When you press the SEARCH button on the control unit the search process of the
antenna unit starts. The adjusted satellite (Astra standard search = 19.2 ° East) appears
in the display and the display starts flashing. During this time (approx. 5 sec.) You can
change the satellite, using the SEARCH and STOW button.
3. After a successful search, the control unit switch off automatically.
4. If you want to retract the antenna back, turn on the controller and press the STOW
button.
Note: Changing the satellite is only possible shortly after switching on the power (as
described in point 2) or after successful satellite search.

ASTRA 2 Position for Astra 2 at 28,2° Ost
ASTRA 3 Position for Astra 3 at 23,5° Ost

Setting the LNB Skew
Signals in the vertical (red) and horizontal (blue) line have an offset of exactly 90° to each
other. Due to the different position of the satellites, depending on your location, it is pos-
sible that the signals do not meet exactly vertically and horizontally on the LNB. To adjust
this, turn the LNB into the correct position to the transmitted signal. This adjustment to
the LNB is called „skew adjustment. The following figure shows the optimal setting of the
LNB. More accurate the match, the better of reception.
The following settings are only for the
Caravanman 65 / 85 Premium (without
AutoSkew). An overview of the skew settings
can be found on page 14.

During the search, the display shows the message „FAILURE“ appears. This is
not a defect of the antenna unit. The message only appears while the antenna
compares the detected signal with the IDs of stored satellites. Recognizes the
signal and the antenna can assign it one of the stored satellites, LOCKED ap-
pears on the display. This process is repeated until the area you choose satellite
is found.
