DOME LOCATION
4. Select an area on the roof for the dome unit and the location where the wiring will enter the
vehicle through the roof to the satellite receiver, controller, combiner, diplexer, and
12 volt power source inside, using the following criteria:
a) The dome unit should be mounted as far away as possible from the existing off-air
antenna if the antenna signals will be combined.
b) A shorter distance between the dome unit and the satellite receiver is most desirable.
c) The dome unit requires a 28 inch diameter mounting area.
d) The dome unit should be mounted on the centerline of the vehicle.
e) There must be no “line of sight” obstructions. Air conditioning units, other antennas, and
storage areas that are too close to the dome unit may obstruct the satellite signal and
off-air transmissions
