STEP 6. Attach cable clamp to the coax cable 16" from the cable clamp
on the gear housing.
STEP 7. Attach cable clamp to roof
3" in front of baseplate as shown in
Figure 3, use 7/16" flat washer between screw head and clamp, apply
sealing compound over mounting screw head.
STEP 8. Feed downlead throught the roof using a Model CE-1000 cover
plate (included with hardware), Figure 3A. Weatherproof cable entry by
applying sealant under lip of roof-thru plate and where cable enters roof.
Attach plate to roof with screws provided. Apply sealant over screws and
around edge of roof-thru plate, making sure cable entry is sealed. Secure
cables as necessary to prevent whipping.
DO NOT MAKE CONNECTION
ON TOP OF ROOF unless there is no other option, it is very difficult to
weatherproof outside connection. If downlead connection is made on
top of roof make sure to weatherproof connection!
STEP 9. Assemble ceiling plate, directional handle and crank handle as
shown in Figure 5. The circled numbers indicate placement from the
ceiling down. Example: The ceiling plate 1 is located next to the ceiling.
The elevation crank handle 8 is farthest from the ceiling. The number
also indicates sequence of assembly.
NOTE: When installing polyethylene shim, # 3, page 5, slide shim onto
shaft as far as it will go. Then slide directional handle up over shaft
and shim and onto the gear housing. Two shims are supplied in case
one is not enough to create a snug fit between directional handle and
gear housing.
CAUTION: USE CAUTION WHEN INSTALLING THE ELEVATING
CRANK. ONCE SCREW TOUCHES SHAFT, TIGHTEN ONLY 1/4
TURN MORE. SCREW SIMPLY HOLDS ELEVATING CRANK ON.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!
STEP 5. Mount antenna and lift on roof in travel position. Apply a liberal
amount of approved nonhardening sealing compound on bottom of base
plate and roof area around hole. See Figure 3. Secure base plate with
screws provided.
Cable clamp on gear housing.
CAUTION: DO NOT GET

PAINT TOP OF BASE PLATE OR
AROUND ROTATING GEAR
HOUSING.

Attach cable clamp here.
Make sure there is 16" of
coax between the cable
clamp on the gear housing
and the one 3" in front of
base plate. TOO MUCH OR
TOO LITTLE WILL CAUSE
DAMAGE TO COAX.
