Startup And Operation - Megasat Caravanman 65 Premium Mode D'emploi

5. Startup and operation

Operation from firmware version: 2.2A / 3.2 A
1. Turn on the controller using the POWER button. The display then shows the current
firmware version of the control unit.
2. As soon as you press the SEARCH button on the control unit, the antenna unit starts
searching and the display shows the last set satellite (default = Astra 19.2 ° East) and
the display starts flashing quickly. During this time (about 5 seconds) you can chan-
ge the satellite using the SEARCH and STOW buttons.
3. The Start Elevation indicator starts flashing quickly.
Note (optional): In order for the antenna to find a satellite signal faster, you can
now set the start elevation (see table). Use the SEARCH and STOW keys to ch-
ange the values. In the future, the antenna always starts the search with the last
used elevation setting, in which a signal was found. This feature is not mandatory
and is useful only if you frequently switch between the northern and southern
locations of the satellite footprint (more than 300 km away).
With the Caravanman 85 Professional GPS the elevation adjustment is not neces-
sary as the antenna determines the values via the GPS signal itself.
4. After a successful search, the control unit will remain operational for approx. 30 se-
conds and then switch off automatically. If necessary, you can start a satellite change
during this time. If the control unit is switched off, you must start with point 1 to
change the satellite.
Note: If you want to change a satellite, the antenna no longer moves to the basic
position, but remembers the current position and automatically calculates the
position of the new satellite. This significantly shortens the search for the new
satellite!
5. If you want to retract the antenna, switch on the control unit and press the
STOW button.
Note: Changing the satellite is only possible as described, but not during the
search process!

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 appe-
ars on the display. This process is repeated until the area you choose satellite
is found.
To turn off the controller, you must press the „STOW" and „SEARCH" button at
the same time. To turn it back on, press the power button on the front of the
