Installation requirements To install the Winegard Automatic Digital Satellite Dish, check with your RV dealer or manufacturer. Your RV may already be pre-wired for this system, and/or may have a reinforced roof area available. FIGURE 1 27.80” 27.80 1. Choose a location on the roof that will allow the dish to raise and rotate without interference from other roof-mounted equipment. 2. Roof space required for operation is 40”L x 20”W minimum. Refer to Figures 1, 2, 3 and 5 for operating parameters. 3.
FIGURE 6 4” MINIMUM from first clamp to cable-entry plate First cable clamp here! The length of this cable MUST BE 53 inches from back of electronics housing to clamp.
Roof installation 1. Position the roof template on the vehicle roof and drill 1/8” holes for the screws. DO NOT drill clear through into interior of vehicle. The screws fasten mount to the roof only. Be sure the roof can securely hold system. 2. Place base plate gasket under the base before screwing unit down. Secure the base plate of the motorized assembly to the roof using appropriate screws. DO NOT APPLY SEALANT AT THIS TIME.

NO CLAMPS ALONG THIS 53” LENGTH! First cable clamp here! 4” FRONT OF VEHICLE Cable-entry plate PASSENGER SIDE 20” CENTER LINE OF COACH ROOF DRIVER SIDE BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION, REFER TO DRAWING 9. GPS antenna can be installed within 3’ of the first cable clamp.
14. Install the vent tube on the back of the mount base (This is the side opposite the word FRONT). The hole for the vent tube is shown in Figure 8. CAUTION: DO NOT seal the hole in vent tube. Put sealant around the outside of the vent tube, approximately 1/2 inch from end. Push the vent tube into the vent tube hole, Figure 8. The sealant will seal the hole as you push in. Leave approximately 2 to 2-1/2 inches of the vent tube extending from the hole.
Mounting interior wall plate controller Inside your vehicle, choose a convenient location for the wall plate controller. Consider wiring layout and distance from your television set. The wall plate uses the nine-wire mulit-colored cable. 1. Strip end of each wire. Place in harness in the locations indicated in Figure 11. Be sure there are no individual “strays” from the wires that are not in the slot. These “strays” can interfere with operation. 2.
Wiring Wiring the system: This unit requires a +13.8 VDC fused circuit. Unit draws up to 3 amps. The unit uses sophisticated microprocessor technology and needs “clean” (filtered) power to function properly. DO NOT USE power designated to operate a +12 VDC lighting circuit from the converter, or a converter that does not have a battery connected to it, or any unfiltered converter! Damage to the system could result! If in doubt, contact your dealer or the manufacturer of your vehicle.
