Interior Installation; Operation - Winegard ConnecT WF1xT Series Installation & Operation Manual

INTERIOR INSTALLATION

CAUTION: Before proceeding, be sure to shut off electricity in order to
avoid electrical shock.
From the previously determined location for the PoE (Step 10 of Exterior
1)
Installation) connect the supplied 10' Ethernet cable from the outdoor
antenna to the "To Antenna" connection on the PoE device. Ensure the
cable is adequately secured to this port. Figure 4.
Connect the supplied 9.5" power cable into the "Power IN" port on the
2)
PoE. Again, ensure the cable is tightly secured to this port.
Next, connect the bare wire ends of the 9.5" power cable to an 18AWG
3)
power wire (not supplied and must not exceed 50 feet). Connect the red
(Power) cables together and the black (Ground) cables together with wire
connectors (not included). Wrap electrical tape (not included) around each
wire connector down to the wire. Run the opposite end of the power cable
to a dedicated 12VDC circuit with an in-line 3A fuse.
If connecting a device to the LAN port, run an Ethernet cable (not provided)
4)
from the LAN port on the PoE to the Ethernet connection on your device.
Winegard recommends not using an Ethernet cable longer than 50 feet.
Lastly, there are 8 mounting eyelets on the PoE. We recommend using the
5)
remaining mounting screws (4), from the hardware pack, to mount the PoE
to the desired location. To ensure eyelets don't break, do not overtighten screw.
Turn the power switch to the on position. The LED should light up.
6)
WARNING: Make sure no bare wire or wire strands are visible after making
connections. Failure to properly install may make the unit inoperable and
could even cause fire, explosion, personal injury or death.
