Winegard SENSAR RV-3090 Installation & Operation Manual

WINEGARD SENSAR ANTENNA
INSTALLATION/OPERATION MANUAL (All Models)
STEP 1: Choose location for antenna. Figure 1 illustrates placement of
the Sensar, showing it in travel position. You must be able to raise and
rotate antenna without interfering with other roof-mounted equipment.
Make sure inside ceiling area is clear to mount ceiling plate.
NOTE: Figure 1 shows the minimum distance the mount can be
located from edge of vehicle roof. Check with your dealer or the
manufacturer for information about options in the roof for
mounting the antenna. A reinforced roof area, or a prewired coax
cable, may be available. For sloped/round roofs, use Winegard
Model RW-2000 exterior roof wedge, to level installation. An
interior wedge, IW-5000, is also available.
STEP 2: Using template on page 6, drill 1-3/4" hole through roof and
ceiling of vehicle. Be careful not to damage any wiring between roof
and ceiling.
STEP 3: Drill 1/2" hole for cable entry through roof of vehicle only.
DO NOT DRILL THROUGH CEILING. Route cable through ceiling and
wall to power supply location.
STEP 4: The mount is designed to fit roofs from 1" to 4-3/4" thick. As
supplied, the mount will fit a roof 4-3/4" thick. If roof is less than 4-3/4"
thick, cut elevating shaft and directional handle to size, steps shown in
Figures 2, 3, 4 and 5. If roof is more than 4-3/4" thick (max. 7"), a
directional handle extension is needed. Order Winegard Model
EK-1036, Directional Handle Extension.
NOTE: If using roof wedge RW-2000 or
interior wedge IW-5000, put in place before
measuring for shaft or directional handle.
STEP 5: Temporarily mount lift/gear housing
unit on roof, Figure 2. Measure elevating shaft,
Mark length on shaft and remove lift/gear
housing from roof. Cut shaft to length marked,
Figure 3.
After cutting elevating shaft, measure length,
Figure 4, for proper cutting of directional
handle. Cut directional handle to proper length,
Figure 4.
If EK-1036 (directional handle extension) is
used, see Figure 5. DO NOT CUT EK-1036
extension. Cut excess length from directional
handle only.
IMPORTANT: The handle and extension
should be glued together after checking to be
sure you have the correct length. The handle
will not work properly if it is not glued together!
(PVC glue is recommended; for your safety,
use according to manufacturer's directions.)
