Installation requirements

To install the Winegard Automatic Digital Satellite Dish, 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.

1.Choose a location on the roof that will allow the dish to raise and rotate without interference from other roof-mounted equipment.

2.Roof space required for operation is 40”L x 20”W minimum. Refer to Figures 1, 2, 3 and 5 for operating parameters.

3.The unit must be level, within 3°, for best operation. Use the hydraulic or manual leveling equipment on your vehicle to level the roof as much as possible.

Before beginning installation: If the mounting area is not level, you can use a roof wedge, Figure 4. Winegard’s RW-5000 roof wedge that will correct tilt up to 3.7°. For units with severely sloping roofs, more than one wedge may be needed.

4.When choosing a location for the interior wall plate controller, consider wiring, ease of viewing the infor- mation and distance from your television set.
