1.You may need to rotate the dish in small increments to find the signal. Rotate the dish 3° at a time to the left, stopping for a few seconds each time you move the dish. Try moving the dish up to 20° to the left. If no signal is found, return to the azimuth listed and try rotating 20° to the right. This will help correct for any errors in setting the directional handle.

2.Be sure you have a clear line of sight. The signal from the satellite(s) will not pass through trees, buildings, mountains, etc. Remember the antenna has a 24° offset; this means that when the antenna is straight up and down (90°), it is looking 24° into the sky. See Figure 2.

3.Check that the TV set is tuned for the correct channel, 3 or 4 (same channel as output of receiver).

4.Check that you have entered the correct zip code of your current location. If the zip code is wrong, the antenna will be looking in the wrong direction or at the wrong elevation for the satellite signal.

5.Check connections at the receiver, TV, and antenna.

Assembly & Installation

Supplies Needed

Screwdrivers (Phillips and slot)

ABS glue

Non-hardening sealant

1-3/4” hole saw

Drill with 1/8” bit

(Check manufacturer’s specifications

7/16” wrench

Tape measure

for compatibility with your roof.)

Winegard’s Digital Elevation Sensor has been

INSTALLED and CALIBRATED at the factory.

STEP 1. Choose a location on the roof for the dish that will allow the dish to raise and rotate without interfering with other roof-mounted equipment. Make sure inside ceiling plate is easily accessible and with no obstructions that would interfere with operation.

Figure 3 shows minimum distance (10”) antenna should be located from edge of vehicle roof. It is recommended that you check with your dealer or manufacturer for provisions that may have been made in the roof for antenna mounting, such as a reinforced roof area or pre-wire installation from the factory.

Figure 3

The antenna must be level for proper operation!

Winegard Model RW-5000 roof wedge with gasket is available. If inside roof wedge is needed, Winegard Model RW-1000 can be trimmed to fit ceiling plate.

6.Check the TV. Does it receive pictures from off-air television stations/VCR?

7.Re-tune system for best picture. See page 2.

8.Inspect the antenna, making sure it has not been damaged. If the antenna is even slightly bent, the receiver may not receive the signal.

9.Contact Dealer or Winegard Technical Services.

STEP 2. Position template on roof (see insert page of this manual). CAUTION: DO NOT drill through wiring. Carefully drill a 1-3/4” hole through roof and ceiling of vehicle. Inspect hole to make sure wiring is intact. See roof template insert.

It is highly recommended the antenna be mounted on the center line of the roof. Do not mount antenna closer than 10” from roof edge.

If Antenna Does Not Rotate or Is Difficult to Rotate

1.Inspect antenna on roof. Be sure the mount has not been damaged.

2.Check for caulking between gear housing and base plate.

3.Be sure cables are not binding and that they have been installed properly.

4.Contact your dealer or Winegard Technical Services.

If Antenna Does Not Raise or Is Difficult to Raise

1.Inspect antenna on roof. Be sure the mount has not been damaged.

2.Check for caulking on the elevating shaft.

3.Contact your dealer or Winegard Technical Services.
