Winegard MV-1111, MV-2222 manual Installation Wiring, Cable entry installation

Installation • Wiring

Cable entry installation —

1.Decide the best location for the cables to enter the vehicle, and the location of the switch and receiver (see “Installing the switch and receiver” below.) Drill a 1/2” hole in the roof, push wires inside. Make proper connections (remember you must have fil- tered +12 VDC power source).

2.Place cable-entry plate over hole and cables. Screw in place. Seal plate and screw holes with approved sealant (not included).

3.Depending on the length of the cable on the roof, you may need to use cable clamps or wire ties (not provided) between the unit and your cable-entry plate. Clamping the cable every 12”-16” should eliminate any unnecessary cable movement, Figure 7.

INSTALLING THE POWER SWITCH

WINEGARD 12 VDC POWER FILTER

This +12 VDC Voltage Filter is included to prevent problems that may be present in the power source for your domed satellite system.

The DC Voltage Filter must be mounted INSIDE the vehicle. It is not designed for exterior installation, and is not weatherproof.

INSTALLATION

1.Decide the location of the power on/off switch. The switch should be close to both the voltage filter and the +12 VDC power cable coming from the MV-1111/ MV-2222. Be sure the switch is turned off before you begin! See diagram at the bottom of this page.

Wall or panel mount: Drill 1-1/4” hole, pull wires through wall or panel.

Surface mount: Determine location and direction of box. Mount box feed wire into one of the box openings.

Select plate cover (brown or white provided) and snap the rocker switch into the switch plate. Be sure switch is off!

IMPORTANT! CHECK POLARITY MARKED ON THE DC VOLTAGE FILTER TERMINALS.

2.Connect the +12 VDC power wire and ground wire from vehicle to the 12 VDC Voltage Filter terminals labeled “IN”. See diagram. Connect a power wire to the + and - (minus) terminals labeled “OUT” on the DC Voltage Filter.

3.Connect the ground wire from the MV-1111/MV-2222 and the ground wire coming from the DC Voltage Filter “OUT” together using large yellow spade connector. (Black wire from MV unit and ground wire coming from the - (minus) on the DC Voltage Filter’s “OUT” terminal.) See diagram.

4.Connect yellow spade connector to silver spade on switch.

5.Connect red wire from MV unit to a small red spade connector.

6.Connect red spade connector to center spade on switch.

7.Connect +12 V wire from the DC Voltage Filter + “OUT” terminal to a small red spade connector.

8.Connect red spade connector to isolated spade on switch.

NOTE: The DC Voltage Filter contains an internal 7.5 AMP replaceable automotive type fuse to protect the satellite unit and the filter. If the DC Voltage Filter is installed incorrectly (ie. positive and negative reversed, or positive wires are shorted to ground) the internal fuse may blow, resulting in no DC output. If you must replace the internal fuse in the DC Voltage Filter, first correct any problems.
