Installation
2.
After determining how you want to run the control cable, you are ready to
attach the mount base to the roof. Make sure the location you choose has
adequate clearances; review Figures 1, 2 and 3. Figure 4 shows bolt hole
pattern.
3.
Attach mount base to roof
(DO NOT BEND MOUNT BASE!).
Remember
to caulk all mounting holes and cable entry, see Figure 7. If running cable out
through knockouts secure cable against whipping.
4.
Make cable connections from 35' cable to mount assembly. Use FS-8100
to make coax connection. Use electrical tape to seal connections (Scotch®
33+ or 88 electrical tape is recommended). See Figure 7.
NOTE: If your RV/coach has been prewired for the Winegard Pinnacle RV
Satellite System, RD-9946 proceed to step 2.
1.
Your RV/coach design (i.e. flat roof, rounded roof, obstructions, etc.) will
determine how and where you mount the system. You have two options for
running the control cable; Option A: Run the cable straight down from the mount
(see Figure 5) or Option B (see page 15, cable roof-thru plate installation): Snap
the knockouts on the base and run the cable to a different entry point
(refrigerator vent, etc.)*. Figure 6 shows the knock out location on the base..
