IMPORTANT! Do not install this system
in the rain, or under any wet conditions. Moisture
may affect electronics and void your warranty!
1. For best performance and to reduce signal acquisi-
tion time, park vehicle on a level surface.
2. Select a level spot on your roof for installation.
• The unit should be no more than +/-1° off level.
• Be sure no roof-mounted equipment is
blocking the satellite “line of sight.”
• You will need to decide where the wires will enter
the vehicle. A coax and an 18 gauge power wire
will need to be placed in the vehicle. The power
wire will go to the nearest +12 VDC power source;
the coax will be routed through the demulitplexer to
your satellite receiver. These wires should be hidden.
3. Remove screws holding dome to base and remove
dome. Place dome in safe spot to avoid damage. Place
base on vehicle roof in the location selected.
4. Remove wire ties used for shipping. There are
three; one on each side of the reflector and one at the
the rear of the reflector holding down the counter-
weight. See Figure 1, page 5.
MOUNTING
FOOT
7. After selecting location for unit (see number
2), put the unit on the centerline of the coach.
REAR MOUNTING FOOT MUST FACE
DIRECTLY OFF REAR OF VEHICLE,
Figure 1. There is a 30 foot power cord and 30
foot coax cable going through the Heyco
® con-
nectors on the base.
Placing the rear base bracket on the centerline,
facing the rear of the vehicle, will center the unit.
8. Using the chart,
determine the
minimum distances to
other equipment.
Measure these
distances as
demonstrated in Figure 3.
For ExpressVu ® set
switches to 092°.
