2. INSTALLATION
2.4 Safety circuit
To prevent damage from driving with the external unit unfolded, the black cable of the FeatureBox' power supply
harness must be connected to terminal 15. (A line connected to terminal 15 is live when the ignition is switched
on and carries no voltage when the ignition is switched off.) When switching on the ignition, the antenna will
retract and not open until the ignition is switched off.
Caution: If the antenna does not fully retract because of a malfunction (e.g. a trapped twig), it is compulsory to shut
off the engine / ignition before resolving the malfunction.
If your vehicle's onboard electric system completely disconnects the power supply of your camper compartment
when switching on the ignition, the safety circuit will not be operational! Please contact the manufacturer of your
vehicle for clarification.
Note:
Alternatively to connecting the black cable to terminal 15 (supply via ignition lock), you may connect it to line
D+ (generator positive terminal, charge voltage), if your vehicle's electric system is permitting. In this case, you
must double-check that the safety circuit functions reliably! Keep in mind that in some vehicles it is not permis-
sible to connect additional power consumers to the D+ line! Note that in some vehicles, the voltage on the D+
line may be switched off temporarily by the vehicle's electric system while driving. This would prevent the safety
circuit from functioning properly! When deciding for this type of connection, make sure that the voltage on the
D+ line is present at all times and stable while the engine is running. When in doubt, connect the safety circuit
to a line supplied via terminal 15 (via the ignition lock).
2.5 Fitting the dish
To fit the supplied sat-dish, please activate the unit and let the arm go upright, then stop the movement. See
chapter 3. Do not loosen the two head bolts at left and right side of at the arm to fit the dish.
