Antenna Assembly
STEP 1.
Place the antenna assembly (#1) so that the Winegard logo is facing upward.
Attach the upper adapter (#10) to the top portion of the antenna assembly
(#1). Align the holes, and use two 5/8” Plastic screws (#8) hand-tighten,
using a Phillips screwdriver.
STEP 2.
Place the mast clamp (#15) on the bottom portion of the antenna assembly (#1).
Set the lower adapter (#11) on top of the mast clamp (#15) and align the
holes. Use two bolts (#12) with washers (#13) and turn bolts three times by
hand to loosely secure, them to allow for the placement of the J-pipe (#6) at
a later step.
STEP 3.
Align the two VHF antenna elements (#2) with the holes on the center slot
directly above the coax connector of the antenna assembly (#1). Attach using
two 3/4” machine screws (#9) and hand-tighten with a Phillips screwdriver.
DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. Electronics are located underneath and over-
tightening could cause damage to the functionality of the antenna.
STEP 4.
Slide the reflector elements (#4) into the slots of the reflector assembly
(#3). When sliding, push down the middle tabs of the reflector assembly (#3)
to allow the elements to pass through. Continue sliding the element until it
clicks in the middle hole. Repeat this process for the remaining five
elements.
STEP 5.
Attach the completed reflector assembly (#3) to the main antenna assembly
(#1), making sure the up arrow on the reflector assembly (#3) is going in the
proper direction. Align the two holes on the reflector assembly (#3) with the
holes on the upper adapter (#10) and lower adapter (#11). Attach with two 5/8”
Plastic screws (#8) and hand-tighten with a Phillips screwdriver.
STEP 6.
Determine the desired installation location of the antenna and install the
mounting foot (#5) in the preferred location. (Hardware not provided). See
WARNINGS.
WARNINGS:
Installation of this product near power lines is dangerous. The antenna should
maintain a minimum clearance of 3’ from power lines, wires, trees, or other
obstructions. If unable to maintain this safe distance, stop! If you are not
sure that you can install the antenna safely, do not try it! Contact a
professional installer.
To prevent fire or shock hazards, do not expose the power inserter to
moisture.
Do not install the power inserter outdoors; it is intended for indoor use only
not connect a cable from the “ANT/AMP” port of the power inserter to the TV.
Incorrectly connecting the power inserter will overload & damage the power
inserter.
Check your local code for grounding specifications.
STEP 7.
Attach the J-pipe (#6) to the installed mount foot (#5) by inserting one bolt
(#12) with washer (#13) into the top single hole of the mounting foot (#5)
through the top hole on the bottom of the J-pipe (#6). Adjust the angle of the
J-pipe (#6) so the front of the mounted antenna will be as close to vertical
as possible.
Once the desired angle is
established, insert a bolt (#12) with a washer (#13) into the appropriate hole
on the mounting foot (#5) and through the bottom slot of the J-pipe (#6).
Finish attaching both bolts (#12) with washers (#13) and nuts (#14) and
tighten using a 7/16” wrench.
STEP 8.
Attach the completed antenna assembly (#1) to the J-pipe (#6) by sliding the
antenna assembly onto the J-pipe (#6) through the mast clamp (#15)/lower
adapter (#11). Make sure the up arrow on the antenna assembly is going in the
proper direction.
STEP 9.
Position the antenna toward the broadcast tower for optimal reception. Once
the antenna is pointed in the proper direction, tighten the lower adapter
(#11) bolts with a 7/16” wrench to secure the antenna to the J-pipe (#6).
STEP 10.
Install coaxial cable (sold separately). Tighten coax connections until the
finger is tight. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. Weather-proof connector recommended.
Once the antenna is pointed in the proper direction and cables have been
connected, run a channel scan, and note all channels that you are receiving.
Try repositioning the antenna head on the pipe, and re-run a channel scan
every time the antenna is repositioned, again noting all channels that you are
receiving. Repeat until satisfied with the channels found.
