2. SAFETY
2.1 Installation Safety:
Winegard highly recommends the Winegard HD Satellite Interface System be installed by a
professional installer, as RV roof top work may be required, as well as some electrical
wiring.
Do not install the roof top portion of this system in the rain. Before drilling any holes for
installation, make sure there are no obstructions, such as wiring, etc. To protect against
water damage, seal any roof top holes with approved sealant.
Read the entire manual before attempting to install the system. Follow the instructions
carefully.
Use all appropriate safety equipment.
3. INSTALLATION
3.1 Pre-Installation
Installation Overview (order may change depending on installation)
Gather tools and equipment needed for installation.
Route new data/power cable, if necessary
Install HD Satellite Interface and necessary components
Connect Satellite Interface to antenna and receiver
Update satellite antenna software, if necessary
tion before you start. Determine
the location of all of your equipment and make sure cable and
wires are long enough to reach
their termination points.
Winegard is not liable for damage, expenses,
or injury caused by
improper installation.
Plan your entire installa-
Tools and Material Required for Installation
1. Drill
2. Phillips #2 Screwdriver or drill bit
3. 5/16” nut driver bit
4. RG-6 coax stripper and crimping tool
5. 7/16” open-ended wrench
6. Sealant (check with your RV manufacturer for proper type)
7. Small at head screwdriver
Select a Location to Install the Satellite Interface
For best results, the Winegard Satellite Interface should be installed near the primary
receiver in your RV. Be sure an AC power source is available.
This manual assumes that a Winegard Satellite System is already fully installed on the
RV roof top. If a system has not yet been installed, please refer to the installation manual
included with the satellite system for installation instructions. Use the power/data cable
included with this kit for satellite antenna installation.
If you are installing a
new Satellite Antenna with
the HD Satellite System, use
the cables supplied with this
kit for antenna installation.
6
If you are installing the HD Satellite Interface as an add-on to a previously installed
Winegard Satellite Antenna, you should install the software update to your satellite antenna
rst, then proceed with cable and HD Satellite Interface installation. Refer to 3.7 Install
Software Update with Clone Box for instructions.
3.2 Route Cables (If Necessary)
If your Winegard Satellite System on your roof came installed with the power/data cable,
or if your coach was pre-wired for a Winegard Satellite System and HD Interface, you may
proceed to the next step. If your system was wired using only the red/black power wire,
you must route the new 30’ power/data cable included.
If you are replacing the current power wire, remove the sealant and 8 screws from the roof
top cable entry plate using the drill and 5/16” nut driver bit and discard. If not already
done, remove the dome from the antenna by removing the eight dome screws with a Phillips head screwdriver. Do not lose dome screws!
Trace the current power wire to the Heyco Connector going into base. Remove the large
nut, Heyco Connector, and small nut inside base using the 3/4” wrench or crescent wrench
and discard. See Figure 3.1.
Be sure to verify your
previously installed antenna’s
wiring. You may be able to
save installation time if it
already includes the data
cable.
Figure 3.1
Locate the green connector that connects the power wire to the electronics board. Using a
small at head screwdriver, unscrew the 2 side screws and disconnect from board.
Unscrew top two screws and remove connector from cable. Do not lose green connector!
Cut wire ties and pull power cable out of dome.
Locate end of new power/data cable with LONGER exposed data cable. Route this end
of the power/data cable through power wire hole. With top screws facing up, insert power
wire into saved green connector and screw down top screws to secure. See Figure 3.2.
Figure 3.2
Black Wire
Plug green connector into power connector on electronics board. Screw in 2 side screws
to fasten. Do not connect data cable yet if software update must be done. Pull slack out
of cable from outside base, and push new Heyco connector into base. Pull on Heyco to be
sure it is secure. Fasten cable to base cleats or wire tie holders using wire ties.
Large Nut
Heyco Connector
Red Wire
Small Nut
One end of the power/
data cable has a longer data
cable. Use the longer end
inside of the dome and short
end inside of the RV.
Be sure loose cables
inside of dome will not interfere with dish LNB.
Route power/data cable through existing roof hole and into Interface/Receiver location.
You may want to attach new cable to old power cable using electrical tape to help pull wire
through. If not already done from a previous installation, route primary coax into hole to
receiver as well. If necessary, route second coax to location.

already been updated, you may plug the data cable inside of dome into the modular connection on the electronics board. Verify that all connections have been made and all cables
have been tied to base using cable ties. Replace dome using 8 screws. Be sure dome
screws are securely fastened. See Figure 3.3.

After power/data cable and coax cable(s) have been routed to Satellite Interface, seal underneath cable entry plate with approved sealant and screw down plate using 12 screws with
drill and 5/16” nut driver. Seal over screw heads and around entry plate. Clamp excess
cable with supplied cable clamps and screws. Seal around screw holes.
3.3 Plug Power Cable into Satellite Interface
If the original power cable was removed from the satellite antenna in the previous step,
disconnect the power wire from the power switch inside the RV. Discard switch, wall plate,
and original power cable.
Connect power/data cable power wires to green connector provided in hardware bag.
Screw top screws down to secure cables. See Figure 3.4.

3.5 Connect Satellite Interface to Primary HD Receiver
Depending on your satellite service provider, you must connect the Satellite Interface to
your primary HD receiver in 1 of 2 ways. The DirecTV installation begins on the next
page. See page 11 for Dish Network and Bell ExpressVU installation.
The primary coax cable is connected to the electronics board inside of the
dome. In most antennas,
the secondary coax must be
connected to the secondary coax port inside of the
dome. See the manual for
more information.

3.5.1 Connect Satellite Interface to Primary DirecTV HD Receiver
Each DirecTV HD Receiver requires the 110°W HD Converter. (Sold separately, model WB-1100).
Be sure you have at least 1 converter before you proceed.
Using a mini coax cable provided with the HD Converter, connect “Sat Receiver Out” on the Interface to “To Interface/Dish” on the HD Converter.
Using the other mini coax cable provided with the HD converter, connect
“HD CTRL 1” on the Interface to “To Control” on the HD Converter.
Using the mini coax cable provide with the Satellite Interface, connect “To
Receiver” on the HD converter to “Satellite In” on the DirecTV HD Receiver.
See Figure 3.7. See Appendix A for a complete wiring diagram.
