Power Supply - Ten-Haaft Oyster V Bedienungs- Und Montageanleitung

2. INSTALLATION

2.2 Power supply

1. A sufficient power supply of the system must be ensured:
a) The system must be connected to the 12/24-V onboard electric system.
b) The minimum cross-section of the wires connecting the satellite system to the power supply is 2.5 mm². For
wiring lengths above 6 meters, a cross-section of 4.0 mm² is required.
c) A connection to an existing line of the onboard electric system is usually not a sensible option. The wire
cross-sections are often insufficient, and/or the line may already be feeding other consumers such as the TV
set. The available voltage may then be insufficient.
d) We recommend installing a separate power line from the battery to the system as an optimal solution.
e) Be sure to connect the black cable of the 3-line power supply harness to terminal 15 (switched ignition
supply) of the vehicle. Alternatively, you can also connect the black cable to line D+ (generator positive
terminal, only live when engine is running) instead of terminal 15, your vehicle's electric system permitting.
In either case, be sure to make a function check! See section 2.4 in these instructions.
The power line must be protected on the battery side by a fuse rated with 10 to 20 Amps.
2. Power supply in camper trailers:
In camper trailers, a reliable or battery-supported 12-V power supply is often not available. In this case, the
system must be supplied with power from the mains grid via a suitable 220 V/12 V power converter.
Do not use any battery chargers, simple transformers or unregulated power converters. Only electronically reg-
ulated fixed-voltage converters with a rated voltage of 13.8 V and a minimum continuous power output of 8
Amps must be used.
We recommend using the power converter available from us.
When installing the system in a camper trailer with a 12/24-V onboard electric system, the black cable of the
3-line power supply harness must be connected to a line which is only supplied with voltage from the vehicle
pulling the trailer while driving. On a 13-pole trailer connector, this is typically line 10 (charge line). Be sure to
check the installation for proper function! See section 2.5 in these instructions.
When installed in a camper trailer without 12/24-V onboard electric system, and where the satellite system is
not supplied with power while driving because of the design of the electric system, the connection of the black
cable (terminal 15) is not mandatory. In this case, it is the vehicle operator's responsibility to always verify that
the antenna has retracted into its park position before driving off.
