THREADED ROD,
WASHER
AND NUT
FIGURE 8
INSIDE RV
Special instructions: For roof thickness greater
than 6-1/2”.
Parts Needed: (not included)
RP-4400 14” worm gear for roof
3200369 Directional handle extension
2162031 Long threaded rod
Instructions:
STEP 8. Place nut on threaded rod.
See Figure 8.
STEP 9. Measure and cut the threaded rod with a
hacksaw. Use the chart in Figure 10 to determine the
correct length.
DIGITAL ELEVATION SENSOR ROOF CONNECTIONS
The illustrations below show the different methods of connecting wires at roof level; method will depend on mod-
el. Wire colors MUST MATCH, ie. red to red, green to green, black to black.
This wire harness connects to the digital
elevation sensor on the antenna
NOTE: This terminal is NOT WEATHERPROOF
and CANNOT be left outside on the roof.
Snap
connectors
together
Supplied with DM-2000 only
3M UR TERMINAL
NOTE: This terminal is weatherproof
and can be left outside on the roof IF
SECURED PROPERLY to prevent wind
whipping.
DO NOT STRIP
wires, terminal
is self-stripping.
Slide wires all the way in.
Squeeze pliers until
red plunger is ush
with res of terminal.
(Pliers not supplied.)
STEP 10. Remove the nut over the cut end of the
threaded rod. This cleans the threads after cutting.
STEP 11. Thread the cut end of the rod into the hub.
STEP 12. Install the ceiling plate. The rotate/lock lever
must point toward the rear of the vehicle.
Be sure rotate/lock lever is pointing towards the
rear of the vehicle and hole in ceiling plate aligns
with hole in the ceiling.
Refer to the chart to determine the correct length for
the directional handle. Extensions (3200369) may be
needed. Each extension adds 2-1/4” to directional
handle. DO NOT cut the extension, if the directional
handle must be extended by less than 2-1/4”, cut the
directional handle to t.
NOTE: A tube cutter is recommended for cutting
the directional handle. This gives a square cut; a
hacksaw does not.
NOTE: Be sure large and small keyways line up in
the hub and directional handle!

Measure 24” of coax
at plastic fastener on
left side of feed arm.
(See Step 5.)
No cable clamps on
this part of cable.
Rotate
clockwise
to stop.
STEP 3. Attach dish to backup. Use bolts and
nuts provided, Figure 4.
FIGURE 4
STEP 4. Mount dish on roof in upright position. Rotate
clockwise to stop, Figure 5. Dish will be toward back
of vehicle when in stowed or travel position. The word
FRONT is embossed on the base and should face the
front of vehicle. Secure to roof using screws (provided).
The travel bracket should be mounted to roof 6-1/8”
from base of dish, toward back of vehicle. See Figure 6.
NOTE: Apply non-hardening sealing compound to
screw heads, coax access hole and edge of gasket
under mount base.
Install the vent tube on the back of the mount base (the
is the side opposite the word FRONT). The hole for the
vent tube is shown in Figure 6A. CAUTION: DO NOT
seal hole in vent tube. Put sealant around the outside
of the vent tube, approximately 1/2” from end. Push
vent tube into the hole. The sealant will seal the hole as
you push in vent tube. Leave approximately 2 to 2-1/2”
of the vent tube extending from the hole. Put a small
amount of sealant on the roof under the vent tube end
to hold in place.

Install cable entry plate 3”
minimum from mount base.
CAUTION: DO NOT GET sealing compound
between Base Plate and Rotating Gear
Housing. DO NOT PAINT top of Base Plate or
around Rotating Gear Housing.
STEP 5. Facing the front of the dish, note the coax
attached to the side of the feed arm. Measure 24” coax
from this point. DO NOT CUT. Put coax around mount
base, Figure 5.
STEP 6. Apply approved sealing compound over
mounting screw heads.
FIGURE 7
STEP 7. Feed coax through the roof using cover plate
(included, w/hardware), Figure 7. Weatherproof cable
entry by applying sealant under lip of cable entry
plate and where cable enters roof. Attach plate to roof
with screws provided. Apply sealant over screws and
around edge of roof-thru plate, making sure cable entry
is sealed. If down lead connection is made on top of
roof, make sure to weatherproof connection!
