MOUNTING HINTS
The steps outlined here will help you determine what is important to you when installing your RF
Mogul satellite television system. They are not expected to give you every detail of the installation
procedure but will provide an overview.
Position the mount in this manner for Direction of travel
 It is recommended that you place the mount in the centerline of the RV. It is not required but
recommended. The mount is designed to handle slightly curved roofs because of the nature of the
Mounting Feet and acquisition routines.
 Seal the Screw Holes of the mounting feet to prevent moisture from penetrating the holes made by
the attachment screws. Use all of the screw holes in the mounting feet that are necessary to complete
a proper installation. It is not necessary to seal the mounting feet, just where the screws attach them
to the roof.
 Use proper sealant whenever penetrating the roof during installation. A trick would be to screw
through the sealant rather than just surrounding the penetration.
 Leave at least a 6" Service Loop when determining length of cable to use. It may be necessary to cut
the cable to replace connectors in the future and you will want some slack when doing so.
 Always use a Dielectric gel or grease on all out door electrical connections to prevent moisture
intrusion and moisture damage.
 Find a location for the mount that will accommodate the shortest cable runs as possible.
 Allow for proper clearance to prevent the mount from hitting things like the air conditioner, radio
antenna, off air television antenna, solar panels etc.
