Step 3. Figure 4. To install Sensor with your RM model, remove dish from backup frame. Place Sensor inside backup frame, Figure 4. Cable must exit from bottom of Sensor.

Route under pins, refer to Figure 4. Be sure case is placed so mounting screws are completely in slots. Fasten Sensor case to frame, being careful not to overtighten screws. Secure Sensor cable to coax with wire ties. Go to Step 9.

Antenna

If at any time after installation, calibration is necessary, follow Steps 4 through 8.

Use a level to ensure antenna is plumb (90o)

Step 4. Figure 5. Using cable ties attach sensor cable to coax cable. Some RV manufacturers have prewired their coaches with cable for the digital elevation sensor. You will find these wires at the appropriatly marked spot on roof. If not prewired, you need to run wires from sensor through opening (normally same entrance as coax) into coach terminating them where you are installing the

wall plate display unit. It is recommended that the display unit be mounted so you can read the elevation numbers while cranking antenna to the correct angle.

Use cable ties provided to secure sensor cable to coax downlead.

Elevating Tube

Adjust sensor/ mounting plate until parallel with elevating tube (Step 2)

Step 5. Figure 5. Two persons will be required for this step. Raise antenna to vertical (plumb) position. Place a level across face of antenna as shown and adjust to a perfect plumb. BE ACCURATE!

Supplied with the DE-4646 only.

NOTE: This terminal is weatherproof and can be left outside on the roof as LONG AS IT IS SECURED PROPERLY to prevent whipping in the wind.

Step 6. Figure 6 shows the different methods of connecting wires at roof level. Method will depend on model. Wire colors MUST MATCH, i.e. red to red.

3M UR Terminal

Slide wires all the way in. DO NOT strip wires, terminal is self stripping.

Squeeze pliers until red plunger is flush with rest of terminal.

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.
