Installation

Cable entry installation —

1.Decide the best location for the cables to enter the vehicle, and the location of the power switch and receiver (see “Installing the switch and receiver”on pages 9 and 10). Drill a 1/2” hole in the roof, push wires inside. Make proper connections.

You must have filtered +12 VDC power source.

2.If installing a second receiver, route second coax cable (not supplied) through empty Heyco into base. Connect to secondary coax connection point. See page 6.

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

4.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.
