Winsig 3.1 Ultra Plus Retrofit Installation Instructions
The WINSIG 3.1 Ultra Retrofit antenna is a horizontal and vertical plane log periodic antenna. It is designed to be installed onto
the existing mounting hardware from a Winegard Sensar (including Sensar HV), or Antennatek Signal commander antenna.
Designed and manufactured in Australia, specifically for Australian conditions, this antenna will provide superior signal capabil-
ity to the unit it replaces in all situations.
REMOVAL OF EXISTING ANTENNA
1.
Before beginning installation, ensure all power (12v or 240v) is switched off.
2.
To begin the installation, first elevate the existing antenna and turn 90 to the stowed position. Then lower the antenna
to a position in which it extends laterally over the edge of the roof of the Caravan or RV. This will allow easy access to
the antenna with the use of a ladder.
3.
Loosen the upper coaxial cable connection from the existing antenna with n 11mm spanner, or similar, and once re-
moved, cut the F
-
type connector off the cable , and removed the coaxial cable from inside the antenna boom.
Note: do
not disturb the coaxial cable at the roof mounting position. This could lead to a leak in the roof of the van.
4.
Using a pair of needle nosed pliers, remove the clips(2) from the lower pivot pins and slide the pivot pins out of the low-
er rotating housing. The existing antenna can now be set aside, but retain the plastic raising gear segment, as this will
be re
-
used for the new Winsig antenna.
INSTALLATION OF WINSIG 3.1 ULTRA ANTENNA
5.
Slide the gear segment from the original antenna into the upper attachment boom, with the segment oriented as shown
above, and locate both of these into the rotating gear housing (the upper attachment boom has no attached compo-
nents). Align the internal gears, and insert a new clevis pin in the upper hole through all three components. Secure the
clevis pin with a retaining clip (provided).
Note: it is not important at what angle the gears are meshed, but horizontal
or slightly above, works best.
6.
The lower boom can now be installed to the lower hole of the rotating housing, with the bump stop oriented toward
the roof of the van. Insert a second clevis pin, and secure with a retaining clip in the same manner as for the upper
boom.
