Winegard SENSAR Installation & Operation Manual

WINEGARD SENSAR ANTENNAS
INSTALLATION/OPERATION MANUAL (All Models)
MADE IN U.S.A.
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 7, 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.
IMPORTANT: The handle and extension must be glued together after
checking that 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.)
NOTE: If using roof wedge RW-2000 or interior wedge IW-5000, put in
place before installing base plate or interior hardware.
STEP 5: Center elevating shaft in hole on roof.
Temporarily secure base plate to roof with two screws
provided. (Do not apply sealant at this time).
Inside unit, make a mark on the shaft 1-1/2" below
ceiling and cut shaft on this mark. See figure 2.
After cutting elevating shaft, push directional handle
up into ceiling over shaft being careful to align keys
inside directional handle onto keyways on bottom of
gear housing. (NOTE: The keys only line up one
way; do not force. TIP: Pointer on directional
handle should point toward back of coach if
properly installed.) Make sure directional handle is
snug against bottom of baseplate. Measure distance
between the bottom of the recess on the handle to
the ceiling. See figure 3. Pull handle back down and
transfer this dimension to the shaft end of the
directional handle. Mark it and cut it off here, fig. 4.
If EK-1036 (directional handle extension) is used,
DO NOT CUT EK-1036 extension. Cut excess
length from directional handle only. The handle
and extension must be glued together after
checking that you have the correct length, fig. 5.
