RM MODELS

STEP 1: To install sensor on your RM model, remove

dish from backup frame. Place sensor inside backup

frame, Figure 4. Cable must exit from bottom of

sensor. Route under pins, Figure 4. To place case

correctly, mounting screws must be completely in slots.

Fasten sensor case to frame, being careful not to

overtighten. Loosely secure Sensor cable to coax with

wire ties. Pivot feed arm toward backup frame, making

sure sensor cable is not preventing movement. When

cable is properly positioned, finish tightening wire ties.

THIS UNIT HAS BEEN CALIBRATED AT THE FACTORY.

No further calibration is necessary.

STEP 2: Using cable ties (provided), attach sensor cable

to coax cable, Figure 3.

NOTE: Some RV manufacturers prewire the coach with

cable for the digital elevation sensor. These wires are

found at the appropriately marked spot on the roof.

If not prewired, run wires from sensor through opening

(normally the same entrance as coax) into the vehicle to

the area where you are installing the wall plate

display unit. It is recommended the display unit be

mounted so you can read the elevation numbers while

moving the antenna to the correct angle.
