Routing Cables; Installing The Control Panel - Winegard RZ-7500 User Manual

Routing Cables

1. Connect the included coax cable to the F-jack on the
antenna base.
Note: a 20 foot coax cable is included and
recommended for use with the antenna. Longer
coax runs could potentially cause problems with
motor performance. Maximum cable length should
never exceed 30 feet.
2. Route the coax cable through the roof and ceiling to
the chosen location for the power supply
3. Place the cable entry plate over the hole and cable.
4. Screw the plate in place with up to seven screws.
5. Apply sealant (not included) over the edge of the
cable entry plate and screws.

Installing the Control Panel

1. Choose a location for the control panel. Drill a 2"
hole, centered, to allow for installation of control
panel power and coaxial connections.
2. Connect the coax cable from the
antenna to the "ANT IN" port on
the control panel, and tighten until
fingertight. (The coax cable should
have been routed through the ceiling
and wall to the chosen control panel
location.) If the connector is removed
before routing the coax cable, see
page 4 for instructions on re-installing
the connector.
3. Connect a coax cable from either the port on the
front of the control panel or the "TV OUT" to the
television. If connecting to TVs in multiple locations
both TV outputs can be used or a splitter may be
used.

4. If hooking up a cable input, connect the cable from
the cable input to the "CABLE IN" port on the back
of the control panel.
5. Run two #12 wires between the control panel and
+12 VDC source, and route downlead cable to the
chosen location for the control panel.
6. Install terminals on wires from +12 VDC source, and
crimp the terminals with an appropriate crimping
tool. Make 12 volt connection to the control panel.
7. Mount the control panel in the wall with the
provided control panel screws.
