Clearance Requirements
The arm of the Trav'ler Pro antenna extends 33" from the
center of the base and may operate only 5" above the surface
to which the Trav'ler Pro antenna is mounted.
To ensure you
have adequate clearance for the Trav
'
ler Pro antenna to safely
operate, check that there are no obstructions taller than 5
"
within 33
"
of the center of the base
.
Also, check that there are no obstructions (such as tree limbs)
above the antenna that will prevent it from raising.
At its highest
point, the antenna will extend to 37.5” above the roof to which it is
mounted (see figure 3).
Choose Antenna Location
1. For best performance and to reduce signal-acquisition time,
park the vehicle on a level surface that is free of obstructions
such as trees or large buildings. Make sure you have a clear
view of the southern sky.
2. Before removing the Trav'ler Pro antenna from its box,
contact your RV dealer or manufacturer. Your RV may be
pre-wired or have a reinforced area for this system.
3. Then, choose a location on the roof that meets the following
requirements:
a. Offers enough support for a secure installation.
b. Allows antenna to raise and rotate without interference
from other roof-mounted equipment.
c. Has a minimum roof space of 44" x 34" for the antenna
(figure 4).
d. Lacks obstructions taller than 5" mounted within a 33"
radius from the center of the Trav’ler Pro base. See page
4, figure 5.
e. Has a gap of less than 3/16" between the bottom of the
transition plate and the roof.
f. Is within 5 degrees of level, or the system may require
more time to locate satellites (for best operation, must
be within 3 degrees of level).
Choose a Location for the
Cables to Enter the Vehicle
Once you have chosen a location for the Trav'ler Pro antenna,
select a location for the cables to enter the vehicle. Keep in mind
the following:
1. The Trav'ler Pro interface box (IDU) must plug into a 110 V outlet,
and requires adequate ventilation.
2. The 24" AC power cord must be long enough to extend from
the outlet to the IDU power supply, which will then connect to
the IDU.
3. The 30' power/control cable must be long enough to extend
from the antenna base to the IDU.
4. The power inserter must be mounted inside the vehicle, but the
splitter can be mounted on the roof of the vehicle (see page 5,
figures 7 and 8).
5. Wires should not be run through the striped area (see figure 4).
Anything in the striped area will interfere with the operation of
the Trav'ler Pro antenna and may cause damage to the object
or to the antenna.
Make sure cables are long enough to reach their destination
points inside the vehicle. For power/control cable runs
longer than 30', an extension may be purchased. Winegard
recommends using Model CL-SK26 25' extension cable.
Do not exceed 55' of cable!
37.5"
WARNING
Do not install
the antenna in a location where a gap of
3/16" or more exists between the bottom
of the transition plate and the roof, as the
antenna may damage the roof.
WARNING
Winegard is NOT liable
for damage, expenses,
or injury caused by improper installation.
