INTERNAL MOTOSAT CONTROL UNIT INSTALLATION
The control unit can either be flush mounted to a cupboard wall (on its side or
upside down is also fine) or simply left free standing. Do not however block
the ventilation holes. Screw either one of the two signal coax cables coming
from the roof (does not matter which one) to the rear of the MOTOSAT control
unit at the point marked ANT IN. Take care when affixing the coax plug that
the coax lead does not rotate causing damage to the lead. The other
connectors can then be attached.
Power is via 12V/24V DC only (a 240V adapter is available as an option for
purchase from us for mains operation). Wire for 12V/24V as follows:-
RED
: +12/24 DC Volts (see note further down this page)
BLACK : Ground (or Negative)
BLUE
: Vehicle/Car Ignition
(IMPORTANT – while the unit will fully function
without this wire connected, the system will not auto-close on vehicle startup.
Note also that 12V/24V must be present on the RED cable for this to work)
The system Power Loom.
Do not bypass or leave
out the fuse on the lead.
Use thick cable for the positive
and negative connections.
Do-not use a Cigarette Plug.

wiring looms shown. On the
back left you will see a
connection labeled “Loop
Out” (next to ANT IN). This
socket may be used later
depending on your installation
and number of decoders.
Never cut and “split” the coax
cables from the roof using a
splitter as this will cause signal
degradation and may prevent
the system from locking.
