Cable entry installation —

1.Decide the best location for the cables to en- ter the vehicle, keeping in mind the desired location for the switch and receiver.

Drill a 3/4” hole in the roof, push wires inside. Make proper connections (remember you must have filtered +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, see above.

Be sure the switch is turned off before you be- gin!

See diagram below.

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