Choosing a Location for the Antenna & Power Supply

Before mounting the antenna, determine a location for the wall plate/power supply.

Keep in mind the following:

A coaxial cable will have to run from the the power supply to the antenna and from the power supply to each television.

A 12 V connection must be made to the back of the power supply.

Refer to the diagram on page 7 for more information on connecting to the power supply.

Then, choose a location for the antenna that meets the following requirements:

Offers enough support for a secure installation

Maintains adequate clearance from the edge of the roof and any obstructions

clearance distance of 24 in. needed from center of antenna to front of the vehicle

clearance distance of 18 in. needed from center of antenna to nearest obstruction and to the edge of the roof

If installing the antenna so that the cable enters the vehicle directly beneath the antenna, follow the steps below for Mounting Option 1.

1.Make sure the ceiling area is clear underneath the chosen location for the antenna.

2.Run coaxial cable from the chosen location for the power supply to the chosen location for the antenna.

3.Run the cable upward through the circular gasket and pedestal.

4.Connect the coaxial cable running through the gasket and pedestal to the coaxial cable running from the antenna head.

5.Place the circular gasket in the chosen location for the antenna, and trace around the inner and outer edges of the gasket.

6.Check with the vehicle manufacturer for approved sealant for the vehicle.

7.Then, apply a liberal amount of sealant between the inner and outer traced circles.

8.Replace the circular gasket where the sealant has been applied.

9.Plug the slot in the pedestal with the provided rectangular gasket.

10.Before using the supplied screws, check with the vehicle manufacturer for any screw requirements.

11.Then, align the holes in the circular gasket and pedestal. Mount the assembly to the roof with four screws, and tighten the four screws.

Mounting Option 1, Cont.

12.Run a solid bead of sealant where the edge of the pedestal and gasket assembly meets the roof and over the screw heads.

13.Gently push the cable slack downward through the pedestal.

14.Twist the antenna head back and forth while pushing it onto the pedestal. The pedestal should engage with the snap ring inside the antenna head.

15.While applying pressure, rotate the head until feeling the grooves in the head line up with the grooves

Push down again; you should hear

 

the head click into place.

 

 

 

 

Warning: Once the head and pedestal

 

 

are connected, the head cannot be

 

 

removed without incurring damage.

 

17. Check that the scribe line on the

 

 

pedestal is no longer visible. If the

 

 

scribe line is still visible, the head is

 

 

not fully seated on the pedestal.

18.Pull the antenna head upward. If the head is unable to slide upward on the pedestal, the head is fully seated on the pedestal. If the head slides upward, the head is not fully

seated on the pedestal.

19.If the antenna head is not fully seated on the pedestal, repeat the steps on this page to connect the antenna head to the pedestal.

Do not proceed until the head is fully seated on the pedestal.

20.Once the head is fully seated on the pedestal, continue with “Installing the Power Supply” on page 7. If the power supply is already installed, make sure to run a channel scan after installing the antenna. See page 8 for more information.
