Installing the Power Supply, Cont.

3Connect the coax cable from the antenna to the “ANTENNA” port on the power supply, and tighten until fingertight. (The coax cable should have been routed through the ceiling and wall to the chosen wall plate location.) If the connector is removed before routing the coax cable, see page 9 for help re-installing the connector.

4If hooking up the antenna to a second television, connect another coax cable from the “SET 2” port on the back of the power supply to the “Antenna In” port on the second television. If hooking up a cable input, connect the cable from the cable input to the “CABLE” port on the back of the power supply.

5Mount the power supply in wall with the provided screws.

6Connect the 72” coax cable from the coax port on the front of the power supply to the “Antenna In” coax port on the TV.

7Press the “ON” switch on the front of the power supply, and check that the light is on.

Checking the Operation of the Power Supply

1Tune the television receiver to the nearest station, and rotate the antenna for the best picture and sound.

2This unit is equipped with a polyswitch, a current limiting device, which will shut down +12 VDC if there is a direct short between the antenna and power supply. The green indicator light will not light. Once short is eliminated, the device will reset itself.

Maintenance

Lubricate gears 3–4 times a year for optimal performance.

Use silicone spray to lubricate gears. Never use WD-40 oil for it will damage the gears!

3–4 times a year or in the event that rotating the antenna becomes difficult, use silicone spray to lubricate the elevating gear. Apply a liberal amount of silicone spray lubricant to the elevating gear. The lift should be in the down position. Then, run the lift up and down to distribute the lubricant over gears. (This is easiest if one person cranks up and down from inside the vehicle while another person sprays the gears.)

Troubleshooting

Do not install couplers, splitters, etc. between the power supply and the antenna. Installation of any item on the downlead may cause a short in the system. The downlead supplies +12 VDC to the preamp in the antenna.

The power supply should be turned OFF when connecting/disconnecting cables to power supply and antenna but should be turned ON when testing for voltage.

Pull down with both hands

+12 VDC at Antenna

2nd Set

No +12 VDC at this point

for best picture. For digital signals, run a channel scan to find the best signal.

NOTE Antenna reception may vary based on transmitting antenna tower height, lobe pattern of the transmitter, height of the receiving

antenna, weather conditions and terrain on receiving path including trees, buildings and hills.

Lower the antenna to the travel position before traveling!

1

Make sure TV set is working properly.

2

Switch power supply ON and OFF while checking for

5Disconnect cable from antenna jack on power supply. Check for +12 VDC at Test Point 2. If +12 VDC is present, there is a problem with the cable connecting the power supply to the antenna. Repair/replace cable.

6If +12 VDC is not present at Test Point # 2, be sure the green indicator light is ON. If not, check the polarity of the ground and +12 VDC source wires to make sure there are 12VDC present. If there is still no +12 VDC, replace power supply.
