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.

Inside Installation
STEP 1: Run control cable from roof mount to control panel.
Do not connect to control panel at this time.
STEP 2: Connect power cable to a fused 12VDC source. It is
recommended that the power source is separate from other
appliances, to avoid possible electrical interference. Do not
connect wire to control panel at this time. Note: Orange wire
supplied for optional "Antenna Up" warning. DO NOT
connect it to a 12VDC power source.
STEP 3: Run coax cable from roof mount to power source for
antenna head preamplifier. Power source may be a powered
12VDC video switch or wall plate power supply. Connect a
second coax cable from power source to television.
Control Panel
STEP 4: Control panel can be mounted directly to surface
providing surface has sufficient space behind panel for wiring.
Should you be limited to space behind panel or choose not to
have wires concealed behind control panel, you can use the
surface mount box.
STEP 5: After prepping area to mount control panel, test fitting
to make sure it fits in location correctly, and connect control
cable and power wires to panel. Then secure panel to it's
location.
Refer to Operations Manual for instructions to raise,
lower, and rotate antenna.
