To install the Winegard Motorized Sensar antenna, 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.
STEP 1: Choose location for antenna system on roof area.
Figure 3 illustrates placement of system, showing it in travel
position. You must be able to raise and rotate antenna
without interfering with other roof-mounted equipment. When
selecting location, keep in mind how you will route the cables
to and from mount. Beware of any obstacles in roof area
that may interfere with or be damaged during installation.
STEP 2: Choose location inside RV for mounting control
panel. It is recommended that the control panel be in viewing
area of most watched TV so you can see TV picture to turn
antenna to best picture reception for your area. A 12VDC
power source must also be available.
