SATELLITE INFORMATION

Finding a Satellite
Before starting, check there is a clear line of sight to the southern sky. All television broadcasting satellites have a geostationary orbit which means their location is fixed above the earth’s equator.
Satellites also have a limited range of transmission so use the Zone maps included in the appendix to check your location is suitable for reception. If your location is near the limit of reception it is recommended to adjust the skew angle of the LNB to maximise signal quality and strength (see page 14 the for details).

MAXVIEW MXL028 65Q 85Q Connect Roof Mount Fully Automatic Satellite System -
SATELLITE INFORMATION

Reference
Please Note:
The system is for receiving signal using the Wide Band LNB and is specifically designed for use with SKY Q™ Receivers only. Therefore LED 2 is the only satellite that is programmed to Astra 2 for SKY Q™ connection. LED 1, 3 & 4 have no function.
Skew Adjustment:
Skew adjustment requires rotation of the LNB in order to improve signal quality at the edge of a satellite footprint. If you have purchased a manual skew product variant, this LNB rotation adjustment must be completed by hand using the appropriate skew angle map.
Caution: Follow general safety advice on page 3 when carrying out manual skew adjustment.
If you have purchased an automatic skew variant the above is not applicable. Your system will use GPS to automatically rotate the LNB to the correct skew for your given location, therefore maximising satellite reception. This process is completely automatic when the search command is started. It requires no further input from the customer.
With Automatic Skew, you can rest assured that your system has maximised the signal quality for your location.
If you have any further questions regarding manual or automatic skew adjustment, please contact Maxview Customer Services on +44 (0)1553 811000 or
visit www.maxview.co.u k.

FAULT FINDING

On Screen Error Modes
If your portable device is paired with the control box, error messages will be visible on the App.
In any case, the error modes will also be visible on the control box.

MAXVIEW MXL028 65Q 85Q Connect Roof Mount Fully Automatic Satellite System -
Screen Error Modes

Elevation Error
Activated when the rotation motor stops functioning correctly. Please contact Customer Services.
Azimuth Error
Activated when the elevation motor stops functioning correctly. Please contact Customer Services.
Ignition Mode
The ignition mode is a safety feature that automatically lowers the antenna and prevents accidental operation whilst travelling.
When the Connect has detected an active ignition circuit in the vehicle the antenna is automatically lowered. Once ignition has been turn off, the user will be able to control
the system through the app again.
Note: The Control Box must be wired to a 12v DC electrical circuit that is live when the vehicle’s ignition is on.
This not only provides a safety benefit but also refreshes the Control Box memory which allows the Connect to perform correctly.

Control Box Error modes:

General Faults & FAQs

No power to control box

  • Check fuse
  • Check power cable connection
  • Leisure battery voltage is low

Fuse blows repeatedly

  • Check fuse rating is 4A
  • Check antenna unit is not obstructed
  • Contact Maxview Customer Service +44 01553 811000

Antenna searching correctly but not locating a satellite

  • After 15 minutes of searching, the satellite dish will return to the park position.
    This means the system was unable to locate the chosen satellite.

  • Ensure all cable connections are correct at the rear of the control box. See instructions above for more information

  • Ensure you have clear line of sight to the south sky

  • Try selecting a different satellite. If your system locks on to a different satellite, you may require a software update. Use the Connect app to check if satellite updates are available

  • Contact Maxview Customer Service

My Connect has locked on but I am still unable to see a picture

  • Ensure your satellite receiver is set to the same satellite as your Connect. For UK channels you will
    need to ensure both the receiver and Connect are set to Astra 28. Perform a channel search on your
    TV/receiver as the channel you have selected may have moved or may not exist anymore.
    Note-new channels are normally added to the bottom of the channel list. See receiver instructions.

  • The Connect can lock onto a satellite without connection to a receiver. Check the connections  between the Connect Control Box, receiver and TV.

My satellite dish is stuck in an elevated position
Unfortunately, your Connect may need to be serviced by an installer. Contact your dealer or our Customer Service Team, with your model number and serial number to hand.
It is important you DO NOT travel until the antenna unit has been lowered or removed:

  • If the dish is facing the rear of the vehicle, with the use of a 17mm spanner it is possible to loosen the 2 main bolts to lower the dish arm. Once the arm has been collapsed, retighten the bolts before travel
  • Alternatively you will need to remove the antenna unit from the roof by releasing the 6 x M6 Nuts.
    Carefully lift and place antenna unit on its side so that the underneath is accessible. Remove plastic connector covers with a pozi no2 screwdriver. Disconnect cables so that antenna unit can be removed from the roof. Make sure cables are secured to the roof before travelling.

I have replaced the Fuse in the control box but it continues to blow repeatedly

  • Ensure the Fuse rating is 4A
  • Ensure the antenna is not obstructed when moving

Portable Connectivity Troubleshooting

Unable to find device during set up

  • Ensure control box in turned on
  • Ensure device Bluetooth™ is switched on
  • Ensure you are within range of Control box. If you are unsure we suggest moving next to the control box

No software found

  1. User may have entered software update mode without completing the process
    The old software has now been removed

  2. Select ‘settings’ followed by ‘change satellite pack’ to reinstall software

In dashboard but device disconnected. Bluetooth™ connection has been lost

  • Ensure control box in turned on
  • Ensure device Bluetooth™ is switched on
  • Ensure you are within range of Control Box. If you are unsure we suggest moving next to the Control Box.

Device connected but dashboard functions are greyed out

  • There may be an Elevation or Azimuth error. See above.

Device connected and dashboard functions selectable but not doing anything or very slow to respond

  • A delay in message passing between the phone/tablet and control box is likely to be a result of bluetooth interference. This can be caused by the use of other electrical appliances such as,  microwave ovens, wireless speakers and power sources.
  • Bluetooth™ and Wi-Fi share the same 2.4GHz frequency spectrum, which can cause the radio signals to interfere with each other.
  • The coax cable and connectors used with some types of satellite dishes can also cause interference. Check cables for damage that could cause RF leakage.
    See https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201542 for more information on Bluetooth™ interference.

No satellite packs available

  • To view and update satellite packs, the app must have access to the internet through a 3G, 4G or Wi-Fi connection.
  • Ensure you have access to the internet before selecting the ‘change satellite pack’ page.

Software update failing

  • To complete a software update you must have:
    1. Access to the internet through a 3G, 4G or Wi-Fi connection.
    2. A Bluetooth™ connection between the app and the control box

Therefore:

  • Ensure control box in turned on

  • Ensure device Bluetooth™ is switched on

  • Ensure you are within range of Control box.
    If you are unsure we suggest moving next to the control box.

  • Ensure you have a reliable connection to the internet.

Connecting to a Satellite Receiver
The satellite cables must connect to the Control Box. The Control Box will then output this signal through the F connector marked ‘RECEIVER’. In order for the satellite signal to pass through the Control Box the power must be on.
Power Consumption
The Connect has been designed to minimise power consumption.
When the Connect is not used for long periods of time it is recommended to switch off the Control Box.
The Ignition Mode will still activate even with the Control Box power switch in the off position.
When power is restored to the system the antenna will automatically lower into the park position.
