1. Decide the best location for the cables to enter the
vehicle, and the location of the switch and receiver
(see “Installing the switch and receiver” below.) Drill
a 1/2” hole in the roof, push wires inside. Make
proper connections (remember you must have fil-
tered +12 VDC power source).
2. Place cable-entry plate over hole and cables. Screw
in place. Seal plate and screw holes with approved
sealant (not included).

3. Depending on the length of the cable on the roof,
you may need to use cable clamps or wire ties (not
provided) between the unit and your cable-entry plate.
Clamping the cable every 12”-16” should eliminate
any unnecessary cable movement, Figure 7.

INSTALLING THE POWER SWITCH
WINEGARD 12 VDC POWER FILTER
This +12 VDC Voltage Filter is included to prevent
problems that may be present in the power source for
your domed satellite system.
The DC Voltage Filter must be mounted INSIDE the
vehicle. It is not designed for exterior installation, and
is not weatherproof.
INSTALLATION
1. Decide the location of the power on/off switch. The
switch should be close to both the voltage filter and the
+12 VDC power cable coming from the MV-0022. Be sure
the switch is turned off before you begin! See diagram at
the bottom of this page.
Wall or panel mount: Drill 1-1/4” hole, pull wires
through wall or panel.
Surface mount: Determine location and direction of
box. Mount box feed wire into one of the box openings.
Select plate cover (brown or white provided) and snap the
rocker switch into the switch plate. Be sure switch is off!
IMPORTANT! CHECK POLARITY MARKED ON
THE DC VOLTAGE FILTER TERMINALS.
2. Connect the +12 VDC power wire and ground wire from
vehicle to the 12 VDC Voltage Filter terminals labeled “IN”.
See diagram. Connect a power wire to the + and - (minus)
terminals labeled “OUT” on the DC Voltage Filter.
3. Connect the ground wire from the MV-0022 and the
ground wire coming from the DC Voltage Filter “OUT” to-
gether using large yellow spade connector. (Black wire from
MV unit and ground wire coming from the - (minus) on the
DC Voltage Filter’s “OUT” terminal.) See diagram.
4. Connect yellow spade connector to silver spade on switch.
5. Connect red wire from MV unit to a small red spade
connector.
6. Connect red spade connector to center spade on switch.
7. C12 V wire from the DC Voltage
“OUT” terminal to a small red spade connector.
8. Connect red spade connector to isolated spade on switch.

INSTALLING THE POWER SWITCH DIAGRAM
NOTE: The DC Voltage Filter contains an internal 7.5 AMP replaceable automotive type fuse to protect the satellite
unit and the filter. If the DC Voltage Filter is installed incorrectly (ie. positive and negative reversed, or positive wires
are shorted to ground) the internal fuse may blow, resulting in no DC output. If you must replace the internal fuse in
the DC Voltage Filter, first correct any problems.
