Winegard RMDM04 Digital Elevation Sensor Roof Connections, Inside RV, Supplied with DM-2000 only

STEP 3. Attach dish to backup. Use bolts and nuts provided. See 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.

Digital Elevation Sensor Roof Connections

The illustrations below show the different methods of connecting wires at roof level; method will depend on model. Wire colors must match, i.e. red to red, green to green, black to black.

Install the vent tube on the back of the mount base (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

(See Step 5.)

No cable clamps on this part of cable.

Install cable entry plate 3” minimum from mount base.

STEP 8. Place nut on threaded rod. See Figure 8.

STEP 9. Measure and cut the threaded rod with a hacksaw. Use the chart (Figure 10) to determine the correct length.

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.

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.

Another Method of Installing Roof/Cable Entry Plate Attach cable to roof using cable clamps. Use sealant to seal screw heads.

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 that the hole in ceiling plate aligns with hole in the ceiling.

Refer to the chart to determine the correct length for the directional handle. Extensions 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 fit.

A tube cutter is recommended for cutting the directional handle. This gives a square cut; a hacksaw

STEP 6. Apply approved sealing compound over mounting screw heads in base plate.

STEP 7. Feed coax through the roof using cable entry plate (included). See Figure 7. Weatherproof the 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 downlead connection is made on top of roof, make sure to weatherproof connection!
