Important notice

Flat Sat Elegance Smart is packaged in two separate cartons for transport reasons:
a) the first package contains the driving unit with all the cables, and the control box.

b) the second package only contains the dish.

• It is important to check that the dish has not been damaged during transport when the
package is opened. In particular, check the following well:

• By resting the dish edge against a flat surface (e.g. the floor or a wall) check that it makes
contact to the surface all around. If it is not so, try and make the edge level, without denting
the dish, or call our After-Sales Service.

• After checking that everything is in order, install the dish on the driving unit as follows:

1) Connect the Control Unit and the TV as described on page 11 "Connections"

2) Press the AUTO key of the TV remote control and wait (about 30 seconds) for the
dish support arm to lift up.

3) Once you have reached the desired position, disconnect the power supply cable to
switch off the Flat Sat Elegance Smart.

4) Secure the dish to the mast and screw down the four supplied screws.

5) Turn the unit on again and wait for the antenna to close.

6) Disconnect the Control Unit,
the battery and install the driving
unit on the vehicle.

Assembly instructions

1) On the roof of the vehicle, choose a free area large enough to allow the antenna to
revolve (Fig. 2).

2) Clean the roof carefully in the area the OUTSIDE UNIT is to be installed in.

3) Remembering that the OUTSIDE UNIT must be fastened as shown on Fig. 3, position
the base plate as shown on Fig. 4, with the short side towards the driving direction
of the vehicle.

When they are present, remove the transparent films from the BASE PLATE (Fig. 5).

4) Clean the lower part of the BASE PLATE carefully, applying a layer of glue on the
whole surface (e.g. SIKAFLEX).

Outside Unit Installation

1) Fasten the OUTSIDE UNIT on the base plate and lead the two cables through any of
the 4 existing grooves, according to the position as shown on Fig. 6.

WARNING: When performing this operation, do not draw the two cables forcefully, as this
might pull them out.

5) Fasten the BASE PLATE to the roof (short side towards the vehicle driving direction).

6) Apply a layer of silicone all around the BASE PLATE in order to make it completely
waterproof (Fig. 5A)

2) Accomodate the cables into a protection raceway up to the point where the cables go
into the vehicle, using the suitable supplied fairlead.

Seal the fairlead carefully so as to
prevent any infiltration by water

Connection with extension

WARNING The Grey and Black cables coming out of the Outside Unit are generally long

enough to allow for connection to the Control Unit. If it is not so, use the extension cables
and perform the following operations:

1) Connect the two cables coming from the centre of the OUTSIDE UNIT to the two supplied
extensions, waterproofing the connectors using the two pieces of heat-shrinking tube.

Caution:

to ensure ideal nut tightening and
prevent possible pin breaks,
tighten the nut with a torque
wrench set to 8 Newtons/metre

2) Fasten the external powered unit to the four stud
bolts of the plate, using the four nuts supplied with
the equipment.

Note: Install the wall-mounted control unit with the (Grey and Black) connection cables
bent as shown in the picture. This installation tip will prevent any condensation water from
flowing down the cables into your control unit electronics - damaging it beyond repair and
voiding your warranty.

Control Unit

Control Unit Installation

1) Position the Control Unit in an easy accessible, ventilated compartment.

WARNING:

Do not install the Control Unit in areas where liquids can be spilled, since this could
cause irreparable damage.

Do not install the Control Unit in very small, unventilated compartments, since
overheating could compromise its functionality and render the warranty null and void.

2) Place the control board comando in an easily accessible, visible position.

3) Install the connection cables (Grey and Black) until you reach the
OUTSIDE UNIT installation area.
