WIRING

Step 9. Use the 9 volt battery (9 volt recommended for best performance) or hook up the +12 VDC. Pressing the button should display 24 (+ or - 1 degree) when antenna is in vertical position.

Display automatically turns off after approximately 1 minute.

Step 10. Figure 8. It is recommended if using 9 volt battery, a cable tie be installed to secure the battery. The tie should not be too tight because the battery will need to slide out for replacement.

STEP 11. CHECK CONNECTORS AND CABLE ENTRY POINTS. MAKE SURE THESE AREAS HAVE BEEN PROPERLY SEALED TO PREVENT WATER DAMAGE TO YOUR SYSTEM AND PROPERTY.

Troubleshooting — EE readings on display: Check wiring for poor connection or incorrect wiring.

Figure 8

*CAUTION: DO NOT connect to +12 VDC if using a 9 volt battery. Use of 9 volt battery recommended.

Slide battery into place and cinch the cable tie moderately tight. Clip off excess tie.

Be sure to feed cable tie under the display readout. (Wallplate not shown for clarity.)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1. Using satellite receiver, determine correct elevation for your location. See your receiver manual for details on how to obtain setup information.

Step 2. Press button on Winegard Digital Display Wall plate. If antenna is in travel position, the display will show HH for high limit. (LL for low limit.)

Step 3. Crank elevation handle to raise antenna. Stop cranking when readout displays correct elevation for your location. (Found on receiver setup menu.)

Step 4. Rotate antenna VERY SLOWLY until correct satellite signal is acquired. NOTE: Rotate 2° and stop. DO NOT rotate continuously even if you are rotating slowly. If you notice elevation angle has changed, it could be due the following reasons:

1.RV is not parked level.

2.Antenna system is mounted to a slightly sloped RV roof. If this is the reason, when you have rotated the antenna so it is facing in the approximate correct azimuth (compass direction), simply adjust to correct elevation and continue searching for signal.

Special Notes: When you have detected the satellite signal adjust the antenna up/down and left/right for strongest signal your receiver displays. Due to variations in receivers and installation methods, you may find the elevation numbers after peaking on strongest signal no longer match what the receiver recommended. This is normal. The elevation sensor should always get you close enough to pick up a signal to peak on. If display turns off while you’re searching, just push button for another minute of operation. After a little practice, most people find the signal in 30 to 50 seconds.

DE-4600, DE-4646 specifications

The Winegard DE-4600 and DE-4646 are advanced satellite antennas designed for reliable connectivity and robust performance, particularly in challenging environments. Ideal for RV enthusiasts, marine applications, and emergency communications, these antennas provide users with uninterrupted access to satellite signals, ensuring that they remain connected regardless of their location.

One of the primary features of the DE-4600 is its exceptional compact design. Weighing significantly less than traditional antennas, it offers portability without sacrificing performance. The DE-4646, on the other hand, provides a larger dish surface area, enhancing signal reception and minimizing the likelihood of interruptions during inclement weather.

Both models utilize state-of-the-art technology to optimize satellite tracking. The built-in automatic satellite acquisition system allows users to set up their antennas with minimal effort. With a simple push of a button, the system rapidly locks onto the satellite signal, providing seamless access to TV programming, internet services, and other digital content.

The design of both antennas emphasizes durability and weather resistance. Constructed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, they feature corrosion-resistant materials and weatherproofing technologies. This durability ensures longevity and dependability, making them suitable for rugged outdoor use.

The DE-4600 and DE-4646 antennas also come equipped with advanced features like multi-satellite capability, which allows for receiving signals from various satellites simultaneously. This is particularly beneficial for users who require access to a vast selection of channels and programming choices.

In terms of installation, both models offer user-friendly setups. The DE-4646 includes a robust mounting system that can be easily adapted to various surfaces, providing versatility for different applications. Additionally, the installation guides are straightforward, enabling even novice users to complete the setup without professional assistance.

A noteworthy characteristic of these antennas is their performance in low signal areas. Utilizing proprietary signal processing technologies, they enhance weak signals, making them more reliable for users in remote locations where standard antennas might struggle.

Whether for leisure or critical operations, the Winegard DE-4600 and DE-4646 antennas stand out in the satellite communication market, combining advanced technology, rugged design, and ease of use to ensure that users remain connected, anywhere and anytime.
