Hi What is the height of the Halo 60cm when folded down as i have very limited room in height of my shed. Also the Satking Pro some height measurements i have found range from 274mm and 246mm when folded down. Hope you can assist. Regards Greg
Hello,
The Halo 60 is 225mm high when closed. The Promax is 280mm when closed. I have both on display and have just measured them.
Cheers
John
Can I connect my iPhone to make phone calls from this unit
Hi Adam,
No, this is a receive only satellite TV system. It is for TV not data or speach.
Regards,
Philip
What is the weight. I have a 16.3ft jayco out back. Pop top. Do you have suggested installers in Perth?
Hi Chris,
The Halo 60 is 12.5KGs on the roof.
We don't currently have any WA installers as the one we used to use has closed down, however the installation is relatively simple and most motorhome/RV centres should be able to fit.
You can access the installation instructions via our website.
Regards,
Philip
Have you guys fitted one on mdc xt12 pop top camper thanks Paul
Hi Paul,
Not sure if we've installed on this specific model, but have installed many on pop tops in general. We have a 15ft hybrid pop top and will be installing the 60cm version on ours as well shortly.
Cheers,
John

The Benefits of Having an Automatic Satellite Dish on Your Caravan: The Australian Perspective
Australia is a vast and beautiful country, filled with sprawling landscapes, unique flora and fauna, and some of the most iconic tourist destinations in the world. For the wandering spirit who owns a caravan, there's nothing quite like the freedom of the open road. But while you're exploring the untamed wilds or taking in a breathtaking sunset in the Outback, there's one luxury many caravan owners have started to appreciate: staying connected to their favourite TV shows through an automatic satellite dish. And when we talk about top-of-the-line automatic satellite dishes, the name UEC naturally comes to mind.
So, why would you want an automatic satellite dish like the UEC Aura 60 on your caravan's roof?
1. Stay Entertained Anywhere, Anytime: As you traverse the vast expanses of Australia, there might be patches where regular terrestrial TV reception becomes unreliable. With an automatic satellite dish, you can remain connected to your favourite TV shows and news. Never miss out on important updates or entertainment, no matter how remote your location.
2. Automatic Tracking: The keyword here is *automatic*. With traditional dishes, you'd have to manually adjust the dish to face the satellite, which can be a hassle. The UEC Aura 60, however, automatically aligns itself with the best satellite. No more fiddling with controls or getting frustrated trying to find a signal. Just press a button, and you're tuned in!
3. Compact and Durable Design: While it may sound like a big piece of tech, satellite dishes like the UEC Aura 60 are designed to be compact and unobtrusive. Built for the rugged Australian conditions, they're durable enough to withstand the elements, ensuring you remain connected in rain, shine, or dusty Outback winds.
4. Enhance the Resale Value of Your Caravan: Future-proof your caravan. As more people realise the value of staying entertained on the move, having an automatic satellite dish can increase your caravan's appeal and potentially its resale value.
5. Safety: Beyond just entertainment, being able to receive updates about weather conditions or any local alerts can be vital for safety. This is especially important if you're exploring some of Australia's more remote areas.
6. Cost-Efficient in the Long Run: While there's an initial investment, think about the potential costs of missing out on your favourite shows or the inconvenience of constantly searching for a reliable signal. Over time, having your own TV connection can prove cost-efficient and hassle-free.
In Conclusion
Exploring Australia in a caravan is a dream for many, and it's an experience that marries the rustic charm of the wild with the comforts of modern living. An automatic satellite dish, especially a trusted brand like UEC, allows caravan adventurers to stay entertained with quality TV reception. As you map out your next journey through this magnificent country, consider the unmatched convenience of having top-notch entertainment – quite literally – at your fingertips. Safe travels!
Looking to install yourself ? It's a straightforward task to fit one of these premium systems on your caravan or motorhome roof. Save money by doing it yourself. Alternatively we can arrange installation on the Sunshine Coast or Gold Coast.
Altech UEC AURA (HALO) 60CM auto-pointing, auto-skewing satellite dish system is compact and fits where larger 85cm dishes won't. It really is surprising where this system will work due to the recently upgraded Optus 10 satellite (replaces Optus C1) with even more power (so smaller dishes work even better). Requiring only 97cm x 65cm of roof space. Signal coverage is similar to the Satking Promax.
The 60cm dish will work well from Cairns to Victoria including Tasmania, across the Nullarbor to Perth and north as far as Exmouth. For central Australia and North Western WA as well as remote NT we suggest the 85cm version. However, although we haven't tested it as yet in Central and North western regions, we believe it'll work in 80%- 90% of the Australia's land mass as an estimation, maybe even more. We will do our best to affirm this soon. The 85cm dish is required for optimal coverage throughout Australia.
UPDATE: A customer travelling up far north QLD at Karumba had his 60cm Aura dish working perfectly. We recently performed a test at the Brisbane Caravan Show and both the SatKing Promax and the Halo 60 showed exactly the same signal quality on our 3240B meter - 81%.
We will also include an 700mm x 300mm powdercoated aluminium plate that increases bonding contact area and spreads the load.
Furthermore, the Aura 60 when purchased from any store, comes standard with a single black 6m coaxial cable. We include an additional 6m cable at no extra charge. Although the system can operate from a single coaxial cable (with a VAST box only) and as the Aura 60 features a twin LNB with 2 x cable connections, it is best practice to run 2 x cables from the dish into the van. This way, one cable will connect direct to the Halo control box and the other to the VAST free to air box. Running a Foxtel IQ decoder box as well as the VAST box ? No worries, simply connect the 2 incoming cables to a 2 in 4 out multiswitch and connect up to 4 x short coaxial cables from the multiswitch to the control box (1), the VAST box (1) and the Foxtel IQ box (2). So, having 2 x cables connected allows for much more flexibility when connecting VAST free to air and Foxtel IQ or even 2 x VAST free to air boxes at each end of the van or even one outside. If you do require short coaxial cables you can add them here. We suggest either 1m or 2m.
If you are purchasing the AURA for the purpose of running a VAST box only, you will NOT require the multiswitch. If you are purchasing it to run only a Foxtel IQ decoder box you still do not require the multiswitch. If running both, then you should purchase the multiswitch. Either way, still run the 2 x cables into the van interior.
This bundle deal includes the Altech Halo 60cm Auto dish, Altech DSD 5000 VAST box with IR sensor, remote control, HDMI cable and 12V lead and choice of mounting brackets (please write in the order notes if you'd prefer the undershelf mounting bracket or the integrated TV bracket).
Photos and video show Halo 60cm dish.
Please note. The instructions state to drill 4 x holes through the van roof. This is not necessary as the large aluminium mounting plate can be adhered to the roof using Sikaflex only or by also securing the plate to the roof with fixing screws.
We have 2 mounting options available for the Altech 5000. Click on the brackets tab at the top of this page.
The Altech 5000 twin tuner PVR ready satellite decoder is a welcome addition to the Altech range as it ticks every box when it comes to performance, physical size and features not seen before in an Australian VAST certified product.
Firstly, for those of you unsure what a VAST decoder is - VAST is the acronym for Viewer Access Satellite Television. The VAST service is broadcast on the Optus C1/D3 satellites and can be accessed by people living in poor TV reception areas as well as travellers on the road with a mobile satellite system in a caravan, camper or motorhome. Connect this decoder to your satellite dish and access all of the free to air digital channels such as ABC, SBS, Seven Central (Seven Network), Imparja (Nine Network), Ten Central (Ten Network) as well as ABC NEWS, SBS2, Mate, Go, Gem, One, Eleven etc etc. A host of radio channels are also broadcast such as BBC World News, Triple J, Double J etc.
Any traveller can access the VAST service by registering their included smartcard at https://www.mysattv.com.au/travellers.aspx . For those of you living in poor reception areas, please check your eligibility at http://myswitch.digitalready.gov.au/ then clicking on satellite summary.
The UEC DSD 5000RV is perfectly suited to mobile caravan use due to its features, operating voltage, compact size and infra red receiver port but is also ideal for home use as it includes a 240V power transformer. A well laid out, easy to navigate menu and program guide along with its seamless recording ability makes the 5000RV stand out as the leading VAST decoder.
Features
PLEASE NOTE THE PHOTOGRAPHS SHOW THE BRACKETS IN POWDER-COATED BLACK. WE NOW ONLY OFFER THESE IN RAW ALUMINIUM.
The Altech DSD 5000 VAST decoder is an unusual shape and has no mounting holes to mount under a shelf or vertically inside a cupboard. For these reasons, we offer 2 mounting options:
Under shelf bracket: Custom made mounting shelf bracket to suit Altech UEC 5000 PVR ready & PVR satellite decoders. Two piece design locks the decoder in place whether mounted horizontally, vertically or even upside down. Made specifically for the Altech 5000 PVR and PVR ready models only. Will not suit other VAST decoders.
Easy to install and gives a professional look to complete your installation.
Integrated TV bracket:

Already mount your TV on a TV wall bracket? Not sure if you have space to mount your new Altech VAST box? Want to keep the installation clean and tidy from messy cabling? You take the TV off the TV support bracket while travelling anyway so why not have the Altech VAST box mounted permanently on the back of the TV? What a great integrated solution.
Our SatPlus 4921/5000 integrated TV bracket is the perfect solution that:
Installation is easy. Simply remove the head of your exisiting TV bracket from the back of your TV, place the SatPlus 4921/5000 bracket plate over the 4 existing mounting holes and bolt your TV bracket head back to the TV.
After having whirly birds on the roof i will never go back after installing the solar king. Awesome engineering. Just had a ducted aircon installed and the guys loved working in the roof space compared to other roofs in the area it was so much cooler. Love the temperature sensor funtion. Installed myself in about 30mins on a tilled roof and bout some silicone to seal it off.
It performs as stated
Works perfectly & very fast postage to regional QLD. Many thanks.
Great product. Easy to install. Has made a huge difference to the house.
I have wanted to replace my whirlybird for a long time with something that works. Finally a product that works and is very well built. No plastic assembly, all metal. Perfect for our Australian climate and if the sun don't shine, the 240volt power pack is ready to rock. Thanks to the team at SATPLUS. 👍👍
