Backup Frame
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.
Figure 5
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!
Figure 6
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.
