WARNING This technical note is to call the attention of the installation personnel to
certain details of Flat Sat Elegance installation. During installation, you must take the
following precautions:
The power supply cable must directly come from the battery and must have no junctions.
Minimum cross section of the cable is 5 mm2. Only the Flat Sat Elegance must be connected
to this cable; all the other devices must be connected to another power supply cable. The
cable connecting the driving unit to the Flat Sat Elegance Black Box must NEVER be cut for
any reason whatsoever: should the cable turn out to be too long, wind the extra part into a
coil in a free area of the vehicle. Leave a little cable in the driving unit area; should any
technical operation be required, it will make it easier to remove the driving unit.
LNB rotation for ideal signal reception in extreme
(South-western or South-eastern) areas in Europe
Please be reminded that your outside low-noise block converter (LNB) has its own special
mounting position that must be maintained, otherwise you will be unable to receive any
signals. The LNB pre-defined installation position is along the dish centre line (Fig. A): in this
configuration, the Elegance system will operate correctly in most European countries. If,
however, you happen to find yourselves very far from the orbital position of your required
satellite, you may want to adjust your low-noise block converter angle. This is especially true
if you wish to receive satellite signals from Astra 19E, Astra 28E or HotBird 13E and you are
in Portugal or Morocco: you will then have to adjust the LNB angle as shown in fig. B, while
if you happen to be in Turkey, to receive signals from the same satellites you will have to
adjust your LNB to the position shown in fig. C.

Important information for proper
antenna tracking
1) Before performing antenna tracking
operation, make sure you have positioned
your vehicle so that the view towards the
South (where Satellite signals come from)
is free from any nearby obstacle (trees,
houses, etc.). This way, the antenna will
be free to receive signals coming from
the satellite.
RIGHT
POSITION
WRONG
POSITION
2) It is also important to know that satellites do not transmit with the same intensity throughout
Europe, so if you are outside the reception area, your Flat Sat Elegance search might be
unsuccessful. The reception areas for each Satellite can be found on the main magazines
dealing in this line of business. Also remember that the larger the dish, the more reception
area is available.

1) Remove the LNB protective cover by screwing out the 3 screws
2) Loosen the screws on the LNB locking U-bolt
3) Turn in the Clockwise (West) or Anti-clockwise (South-East) direction
4) Lock the LNB again by screwing down the screws
5) Close back the LNB protective cover and screw down the 3 screws

Tips on the best use of Flat Sat Elegance
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 stop towards it.
2) Remove any snow or ice from the Flat Sat Elegance before actuating it in order to avoid
wasting battery power.
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 Elegance electronic safety circuit will prevent the antenna from
rising.
5) Should you use 12 Volt power supply instead of batteries, be careful to use stabilized
power supply being able to provide 5 A continuously and at least 10 A for short periods. At
all costs, avoid using low quality, non stabilized battery chargers.
6) It is recommended not to use the antenna under strong wind conditions (80 km/h).
Failure to comply with this condition may result in product degradation which the
manufacturer cannot be held responsible for.
7) Antenna closing operations, whether by user's control or automatically for vehicle
start-up, require variable time.
Before starting the vehicle, always make sure that the antenna is fully closed.
* The manufacturer declines any liability for all degradations suffered by the product
owing to misuse.

Complete Kit with Black Box, Sat Decoder and TV
This configuration will allow you to:
• Control your Black Box, TV and DECODER with ONE remote control.
You can switch the whole system on and off via one button;
• Control all the three devices via the remote control using the infrared TV sensor.
The remote control is arranged in two memory banks:
• Bank 1: For TV management
• Bank 2: For DECODER management.
1) Total On/Off: sends the switch on/off command to the
Black Box, the TV and the DECODER and activates the
memory bank of the DECODER.
2) TV On/Off: activates the memory bank of the TV only,
and sends the switch on/off command to the TV.
3) DECODER On/Off: activates the memory bank of the
DECODER only , and sends the switch on/off command
to the DECODER.
4) DECODER memory bank selection key: activates the
memory bank of the DECODER.
5) TV memory bank selection key: activates the memory
bank of the TV.
6) Switch on/off key for Black Box and Receiver: sends
the switch on/off command to the Black Box and to the
Receiver.
7) Antenna parking key: sends the parking command to
the Antenna.
8) Antenna satellite selection key: selects the satellite to
be searched for.
9) These keys are generally used to control the
DECODER, change the channel, adjust the volume etc.
If you wish to control your TV, first press the key (5). Not
all the functions indicated on the remote control could
be available: for full control of the devices you should
therefore use the remote controls supplied with your TV
and DECODER.
Use the keys (4) or (5) to switch between the two memory
banks.
The keys (1), (2), (3), (6), (7) and (8) are always active,
irrespective of the selected memory bank.

Operation of the complete Kit with Black Box, Sat Decoder and TV
Turning on the Flat Sat Elegance
To turn on the Flat Sat Elegance system, press the button (1) for about 1 second.
This will turn on the Kit Black Box, Sat Decoder and TV and start the initializing operations.
Selecting the satellite
The available satellites are listed in the selection menu. The name of the selected satellite
is highlighted in the middle of the screen. A box with animated antenna provides information
on the search status. The user can change the satellite by pressing the key (8).

If the highlighted satellite is the one you have chosen, no further selection is needed; after
a few seconds the antenna will start rotating to indicate beginning of the search stage. You
can even change the satellite during a search, or after tracking has been performed, always
pressing the key (8).
Seeking the satellite
During the seeking stage the
antenna rotates and the name of
the selected satellites appears in
the middle of the screen.
Once the satellite has been
found, the antenna stops and the
message “Sat Ok” is brought to
the display.
After a few seconds, the satellite search menu disappears and the image of the channel
which has been selected on the DECODER automatically appears on the TV.
Use the keys ( 9 ) on the remote control to control the Decoder, for example to change the
tuned channel. If you have unintentionally changed the memory bank in the remote control,
press the key ( 4 ) to restore the memory bank of the Decoder.
The position of the antenna will be stored in memory for faster tracking, should the system
be turned off and then on. If you start the vehicle, the position stored in memory is cancelled.

Once you have finished viewing satellite channels it is possible to press the key (1). The TV
screen will then display the Black Box menu and animated graphics depict antenna closure.
Once the antenna closure procedure has been completed the message “P OK” appears.
After a few seconds the Black Box, DECODER and TV are switched off automatically.
To switch the system back on just press the key (1) again.
Safety connection: correct connection of the green safety wire ensures automatic antenna
closure in the event that the vehicle is moved. Make sure the green wire has been connected
as indicated in the installation guide. If automatic closure occurs with the TV on the latter will
not switch off automatically: press the key (2) to switch it off.
