CONNECTIONS
16) Connect the (motor) grey cable to the MOTOR UNIT Connector and the white
(antenna) coaxial cable to the ANTENNA Connector in the Control
17) Connect the Digital Receiver (if any) to the DIGITAL RECEIVER connector.
18) Connect the MIR remote control Extension to the IR REMOTE connector in the Control
Unit
19) Connect the BLACK power supply cable of the CONTROL UNIT to the NEGATIVE
POLE of the vehicle 12 Volt battery, and the RED cable to the POSITIVE POLE + (
remember not to mix the + and - poles up ), using 2 cables of a diameter of 2.5 mm ( 5
mm2 cross-section).
20)
The GREEN safety cable of the Control Unit must be connected to the consensus of
the vehicle startup console (in many cases such consensus is located on Pin 15 in the
main terminal board). In this way, whenever the motor is started, this cable receives a
positive + 12 Vdc voltage, which will automatically lower the antenna and lock all
functions of the Control Unit simultaneously (Fig.15).
Any connection made in points other than as indicated (e.g. on
the alternator) can give rise to equipment malfunction and/or damage resulting in loss of
the warranty.

This technical note is to call the attention of the installation personnel to certain details of
Magic Sat 2002A installation. During installation, you must take the following precautions:
The power supply cable must come directly from the battery and be of a minimum crosssection of 5 sq.mm. Only the Magic Sat 2002A must be connected to this cable; all the
other devices must be connected to another
The cable connecting the motor unit to the Magic Sat 2002A Control Unit 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 motor unit area; should
any technical operation be required, it will make it easier to remove the motor unit.
Also, before checking its operation, we suggest you make sure that:
the outside converter (a.k.a. LNB) has been installed properly and locked into its plastic
lock nut. Remember that the outside converter has its own assembly position which must
be complied with. Otherwise you will not receive any signal. The pre-set mounting position
for the converter is along the centre line of the disk (see figure A). With this configuration,
the MagicSat Digital system works correctly in most European countries. However, if you
are in areas very far from the satellite orbital position, it might be necessary to adjust the
converter angle. In particular, if you wish to receive transmissions from the satellites Astra
19E, Astra 28E or HotBird 13E, while you find yourself in Portugal or Morocco, your
converter angle should be adjusted as shown in figure B2, while if you are in Turkey, to
receive the same satellites you should set your converter to the position B1. A chart is
attached which may help you set the ideal angle.

USER MANUAL: Magic Sat 2002A Operation System
Magic Sat 2002A is a fully automatic satellite pointing system, designed to point both
satellites which transmit ANALOGUE/DIGITAL signals (e.g. ASTRA or Hot Bird) and
satellites which transmit DIGITAL signals only (e.g. Astra 2). All operating information is
displayed on your TV screen when the system is
To ensure user-friendly operation, we have simplified these basic functions as
• satellite searching
• antenna lowering
• required program searching
Satellite seeking
When Magic Sat 2002A is off (Antenna down), press the Red button on the remote control
to start the searching procedure which will be completed when
Antenna lowering
When Magic Sat 2002A is on, and the antenna is up, press the (yellow) DOWN button to
bring the antenna down and switch the system off.
Programme seeking
Once the antenna has been pointed to the required satellite, radio and television stations
can be received by simply shifting programs with the remote control. To receive programs
from other satellites, you will just have to key in the number of your required program on
your remote control, or select it from the program list. MagicSat Digital will then search for
the next satellite and store the corresponding antenna position. If a digital bouquet is
requested instead of an analogue television/radio program (programs from 450 to 500),
the receiver will instruct the user on when to switch MagicSat Digital off and switch the
digital receiver on.
Thank you for having chosen our product. We wish you enjoy watching TV with Magic Sat
2002A.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION for proper antenna pointing
1) Before performing antenna pointing, make sure you have positioned your vehicle so 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.
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 Magic Sat 2002A
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
AUTOMATIC SATELLITE SEARCHING
1) Turn your TV set on and put it in a condition to receive signals coming from the satellite
receiver (See TV Manual).
2) Switch on the control unit by pressing the Red button on your remote control (or the
button on the front panel). The Magic Sat 2002A will also be automatically operated.
3) The following message will appear on your TV screen:
This message will remain until the antenna has identified the satellite. It tells you the name
of the satellite (e.g., Astra) which the Magic Sat Plus is looking for, and the programme
number (Programme 1) which will appear when pointing is over. Both these data are linked
to one another by a pre-storage on the receiver which has been performed in the factory in
the following order:
SATELLITE ASTRA 19°E ANNELS 1 - 62
SATELLITE TELECOM 2A 8°W CHANNELS 80 - 90
