Installation Installing unit on roof of vehicle — ! 6. On each foot, screw the flange nut to the base of the leveling screw on the mounting foot, flange up. Place rubber washer, with the rubber side up, on the nut, Figure 2. Push mounting foot under base. Push foot screw through the base and tighten lock nut to secure foot to base. Be sure the base feet are pointing away from the base. Base feet will be removed later during install.
Installation ROOF INSTALLATION, continued GPS installation — 9. Place the unit on the roof in its permanent location and mark around the base bracket, Figure 4. (Make sure the rear adjustable base foot is directly facing the back of the coach.) The GPS antenna is pre-wired and has a 3 foot cable running through one of the Heyco® connectors.
Installation • Wiring Cable entry installation — INSTALLATION 1. Decide the best location for the cables to enter the vehicle, and the location of the switch and receiver (see “Installing the switch and receiver” below.) Drill a 1/2” hole in the roof, push wires inside. Make proper connections (remember you must have filtered +12 VDC power source). 1. Decide the location of the power on/off switch. Be sure the switch is turned off before you begin! See diagram below.
Installation • Wiring Connecting the receiver — Initializing & replacing the dome after connecting the receiver(s) — Connecting one receiver 1. Be sure vehicle is in a location free of all obstructions and with a clear view of the satellite. 2. DO NOT MOVE VEHICLE during the first initialization. Power up unit, turn on receiver. FOR THE FIRST TIME ONLY, the unit may take up to 10 minutes to initially find the satellite signal. The GPS is also initializing at this time.
Operation Your new MV-0500 features: • GPS technology • Fast signal acquisition times • Easy “one-button” operation • Ability to toggle between satellites using remote control, if subscribing to multisatellite programming To operate your system — Vehicle must be parked. 1. Turn on receiver and television set. This unit will not operate unless receiver is on. Be sure your TV is turned to channel 3 or 4. 2. Turn your +12VDC power switch to ON position. 3. Allow up to 3 minutes for signal location.
Troubleshooting IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A SIGNAL: the next steps. Voltage must be +12 VDC, except at the LNBF, see Figure 9, page 11. 1. The signal may be blocked by trees, hills or structures. Pull into an area where no trees or buildings are in the line of sight from unit to the satellites. 6. To check voltage at connections, see Figure 9 on page 11. FOLLOW THE NUMERICAL SEQUENCE ON THE DRAWING AND CHECK VOLTAGE AT: #1. Power Supply. #2. LNBF voltage. Disconnect the coax cable from the LNBF.
