Note: Cable Kits up to 100’ are avail-
able by
special order.
4.
Getting the satellite signal to the TV.
Read the section on coax cable installation
(Section VII). This will advise whether to connect
the coax cable that supplies the processed
satellite signal to either the existing coach wiring
or directly to the TV set.
5. A good view of the TV screen while operating
the satellite receiver and controller is beneficial.
Note: Generally an overhead cabinet works
best and keeps equipment out of the way
when not in use
C. Placement of dish on roof.
1. Mounting arrangement/location.
a. Locate a clear area on roof measuring 34” x
20”. (Figs 1 & 2).b. Dish should be positioned
towards the rear of the coach as the recom-
mended position.
Caution: Be sure of roof construction when
mounting on solid roof. Contact coach manu-
facturer to verify materials. AntennaTek, Inc. is
not responsible for damage due to improper
installation of the satellite system.
D. Installation Check List
*Check for adequate roof clearance
*Determine placement of electronics
*Determine method of connecting coax from
receiver to the existing coach wiring or
direct to TV set.
*Verify 110V AC in cabinet for receiver
*Verify 12V DC in cabinet for controller

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
- Read the entire installation procedure before

harness enters the coach.
IV. GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION
A.
Placement of the electronics
Following are the electronics components located in
the coach:
1. The Controller: Used to position the dish on the
satellite. It requires 12V DC.
2. The Satellite Receiver processes the signal from
the dish into satellite TV channels, then transfers this
information to the TV set (which is used as a monitor
on either channel 3 or 4). The Receiver requires 110
VAC only. The Receiver allows you to subscribe to
the pay channels.
B.
Important consideration when deciding
on a location for the electronics
1.
Receiver
(not included): Operates on 110V AC.
Needs access to AC current where the unit will be
located.
2.
Controller
(Positioner): Operates on 12V DC.
Needs access to DC current where unit will be
located.
3.
Distance from the Dish to Components:
The
standard 25’ cable run can be used-up in the process
of routing through the coach’s cupboards and closets.
Try to keep the run of cables as straight as possible.
