WIRING

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.

Wallplate display with battery and sensor cable attached.

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.
