CAUTION: If using +12 VDC, it must be FILTERED!  
If using non-filtered +12 VDC, the product will be damaged  
andWarrantyvoided.

Step 7. Figure 7. If using the SM-1000 surface mount  
box, feed cable through hole in box. Connect wires  
coming from sensor on roof to wall plate display in  
coach. It is required to strip wires 1/4". It is  
Jumper  
IMPORTANT to have connected the wires properly at  
roof and to connect properly at wall plate. System is  
designed to use a 9 volt battery (recommended) OR  
+12 VDC from RV (not both). When inserting and  
tightening the wires into terminals on back of display  
board, be sure that you have clamped on the bare wire  
conductor and not the insulation. DO NOT connect the  
+12 VDC at this time. IMPROPER WIRING WILL  
CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE PRODUCT.  
Step 8. Figure 7. There are five pins on back of display circuit  
board. Place jumper (small plastic plug in the hardware bag)  
across the second and third pin from the left. These are the calibrate  
pins. Install a 9 volt battery and press the button on front of display. The  
readout should display the letters CA (calibration) for approximately 10 seconds. The display  
will then start alternating between two sets of numbers of no importance to you. At this time  
remove battery. Now remove jumper and place on the single pin to the left. Electronic  
calibration is now complete.

WIRING  
* CAUTION: DO NOT connect to +12 VDC  
if using a 9 volt battery. Use of 9 volt  
battery recommended.  
Step 9. Use the 9 volt battery (9 volt  
recommended for best performance) or  
hook up the +12 VDC. Pressing the  
button should display 24 (+ or - 1 degree)  
when antenna is in vertical position.  
Display automatically turns off after  
approximately 1 minute.  
Slide battery  
into place  
and cinch the  
cable tie  
moderately  
tight. Clip off  
excess tie.  
Step 10. Figure 8. It is recommended if  
using 9 volt battery, a cable tie be  
installed to secure the battery. The tie  
should not be too tight because the  
battery will need to slide out for  
replacement.

STEP 11. CHECK CONNECTORS AND  
CABLE ENTRY POINTS. MAKE SURE  
THESE AREAS HAVE BEEN  
PROPERLY SEALED TO PREVENT  
WATER DAMAGE TO YOUR SYSTEM  
AND PROPERTY.  
sure to feed cable  
under the display  
dout. (Wallplate not  
wn for clarity.)  
Troubleshooting — EE readings on  
display: Check wiring for poor connection  
or incorrect wiring.  
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
Step 1. Using satellite receiver, determine correct  
elevation for your location. See your receiver manual for  
details on how to obtain setup information.  
Special Notes: When you have detected the satellite  
signal adjust the antenna up/down and left/right for  
strongest signal your receiver displays. Due to variations  
in receivers and installation methods, you may find the  
elevation numbers after peaking on strongest signal no  
longer match what the receiver recommended. This is  
normal. The elevation sensor should always get you close  
enough to pick up a signal to peak on. If display turns off  
while you’re searching, just push button for another  
minute of operation. After a little practice, most people  
find the signal in 30 to 50 seconds.  
Step 2. Press button on Winegard Digital Display Wall  
plate. If antenna is in travel position, the display will show  
HH for high limit. (LL for low limit.)  
Step 3. Crank elevation handle to raise antenna. Stop  
cranking when readout displays correct elevation for your  
location. (Found on receiver setup menu.)  
Step 4. Rotate antenna VERY SLOWLY until correct  
satellite signal is acquired. NOTE: Rotate 2° and stop. DO  
NOT rotate continuously even if you are rotating slowly. If  
you notice elevation angle has changed, it could be due  
the following reasons:

1. RV is not parked level.  
2. Antenna system is mounted to a slightly sloped RV  
roof. If this is the reason, when you have rotated the  
antenna so it is facing in the approximate correct azimuth  
(compass direction), simply adjust to correct elevation  
and continue searching for signal.
