1. Drill a minimum 5’16” hole where cable will go thru roof.
2. Feed the long cable thru the hole (from inside or outside) Place all components and cables in
position, leaving enough cable sticking out of roof to reach both antenna (outside) and power
inserter (inside).
3.
DO NOT TOUCH CIRCUIT BOARD AT ANY TIME!
Feed cable under the circuit board
as shown in the Fig. 1. Leave as large a bend as possible in the cable and push the cable
connector onto the circuit board connector until it clicks in place (hold the cable by the connector
and not the actual cable).
4. Fig. 2. Apply sealant around entire perimeter of base mount and fill coax port on rear of base
mount.
Make sure you fill coax port with sealant before placing cable in it to ensure complete
sealing of coax port.
5. Place cable in coax port and place the base mount in position.
DO NOT PINCH COAX UNDER EDGE OF BASE MOUNT WHEN PLACING ON ROOF.
6. Fasten base mount to roof with appropriate fasteners. Seal (6) fastener heads.
7. Seal roof hole so it is completely waterproof (the optional cable entry cover provides additional
protection for the cable entry point - see your dealer or
kingconnect.com
).
8. Fasten cable to roof every 12-18” (hardware determined and supplied by installer).

INSTALLATION OPTION 2: External Cable
IMPORTANT! The installer is responsible for determining and supplying the most
appropriate fasteners to secure the base mount and coax to the roof.
All holes, fastener heads, and the entire perimeter of the base mount
(including coax port) must be completely sealed and weatherproofed with
roof-compatible sealant.
IMPORTANT! The cables have different connectors on each end. Match the proper end of
cables to the components before routing.
If using the prewire enclosure, you will not do steps 1, 2 and 7 (see Fig. 3).
