I. Will not turn on

This trouble-shooting guide will help you solve problems with Model AS-2003 satellite antenna. If, after following these steps, you

need further assistance, call Winegard Technical Services at 1-800-788-4417.

Are you using a
power supply from
Winegard that
came with
the unit?

YES

YES

YES

YES

Is the power
source plugged
into an active 120
VAC outlet?

Are you using a 13.8 VDC fil-
tered power source with at
least 3 amps of constant cur-
rent and no current limiting?

Replace power supply.

Is the power
source turned
on?

Measure the DC volt-
age between the

black (ground) and
brown 

wire at the pin

on the back of your
wall plate. See Figure
1. Does it measure
13+ VDC? 5

Remove the electron-
ics box lid. Find the
3-terminal connector
and the pins con-
nected to the 

red and

black

 (ground) wires.

Measure the DC volt-
age between these
pins. Does it measure
13+ VDC? Figure 2.

Now measure the
screw heads con-
nected to 

brown and

black

 wires on back

of control panel. Does
this measure 13+
VDC? Figure 1.

Does the power source
measure 13+ VDC?

Replace
connector

YES

Replace
electronics
box.

Replace
power sup-
ply with 13.8
VDC filtered
power
source with
at least 3
amps of
constant
current and
no current
limiting.

Now measure the
screw heads con-
nected to the 

red and

black

 wires on the

3-terminal connector.
Does the voltage
measure 13+ VDC
between these screw
heads? Figure 2.

NO

NO

YES

NO

Replace
3-terminal
connector.

Replace
cable
containing
the power
wires.

YES
