NOTE: Anything in the striped area will interfere with the operation of the TRAV’LER antenna
and may cause damage to the object or the TRAV’LER antenna.
TRAV’LER Mount Installation
Verify that the “FRONT” of the transition plate is facing the front of the vehicle then place the TRAV’LER
antenna mount on the roof where you plan to install it and
mark
the screw holes so you can see them.
Move the TRAV’LER mount out of the installation area. It is recommended that you
don’t
pre-drill the
holes.
Use a solid bead of sealant to connect these marks in the shape of the base.
Replace the TRAV’LER antenna and screw it to the roof. Check with your vehicle manufacturer for any
special screw requirements before using the supplied screws.
3. The unit must be within 3° of level for best operation.
4. Make sure that the location offers enough support to attach the TRAV’LER antenna securely.
5. Find a well ventilated location with a 110 V outlet for the TRAV’LER Interface inside the vehicle.
Make sure to clean the installation area before you begin.
You will want to decide where the wires will enter the vehicle. One coax cable per receiver and a control
cable will need to be run into the vehicle.
Warning: Do not run the wires through the striped area shown.
Consult your receiver
manual for specifics in the diagram.
Run a solid bead of sealant around the transition plate, making sure to cover each screw head. Be
careful not to get any sealant above the lip of the transition plate. See diagram of transition plate.
Cable Entry Plate Installation:
Decide the best location for the cables to enter the vehicle.
You will need to run:
A coax directly to each receiver location.
A control cable to the TRAV’LER Interface box.
Drill a 1/2” hole in the roof and push the required wires through. (Installations for multiple receivers may
require a larger hole or multiple holes as each receiver requires a dedicated coax cable.) Each receiver
will require at least one coax cable. See receiver manual for wiring details.
Place the cable entry plate supplied in hardware bag over the hole and cables. Screw the plate in place
and seal the plate and screw holes with approved sealant (not included).
Depending on the length of the cable on the roof, you may need to use cable clamps between the unit
and your cable entry plate. Clamping every 12-16” should eliminate any unnecessary cable movement.
