EXTERIOR INSTALLATION

Choosing a Location for the Antenna & Power Supply
Before mounting the antenna, determine a location for the wall plate/power supply. Keep in mind the following:

• A coaxial cable will have to run from the power supply to the antenna and from the power supply to each television (up to 4 TVs if using the WP2-600).

• A connection must be made from the ConnecT 2.0+ to the back of the power supply and from the power supply to an RV power source.
  Choose a location for the antenna that meets the following requirements:

• Offers enough support for a secure installation

• Maintains adequate clearance from the edge of the roof and any obstructions
  ­ – clearance distance of 24″ needed from the antenna to the front of the vehicle
  ­ – clearance distance of at least 12″ needed from the antenna to the nearest obstruction and to the edge of the roof

Option A ConnecT 2.0+ with WP2-600 Wall Plate
EXTERIOR
Step 1 ­ Select a level spot on your roof for installation. Level the base front-to-back and side-to-side.
Step 2 ­ After selecting a location for the antenna, make sure that the center line of the antenna is on or parallel to the center line of the vehicle; the center line of the antenna runs through the point between the two feet where cable connections are located.
Step 3 ­ Position the antenna with cables exiting toward the rear of the vehicle. To ensure proper installation, verify that the distance from the edge of the roof to any foot is at least twelve inches.
Step 4 ­ Place the unit on the roof in its permanent location, and mark around each base foot.
Step 5 ­ Apply sealant in the areas marked for the base feet. Place the base feet on top of the sealant. Screw down each foot and put sealant around the edge of the feet and over each screw (use only manufacturer-approved screws and sealant).
Step 6 ­ Decide the best location for the power cable and coax cable to enter the vehicle, as well as the location of the wall plate power switch inside your vehicle. Drill a ¾” hole in the roof, and push the power cable and coax cable inside, making sure the cable is accessible from the area where the power supply will be located.
Step 7 ­ Place the provided cable entry plate over the hole and cables. Screw the plate in place. Seal the plate and screw holes with sealant.
INTERIOR (see diagram on page 4)
Step 8 ­ For a wall or panel mount, drill or use a hole saw to create a 1¼” hole. Pull the wires through the wall or panel.
Step 9 ­ After connecting to the ConnecT’s power cable, run the red wire to the spade terminal labeled WiFi+, located in the middle of the electronics board on the backside of the wall plate. Next, run the black wire to the spade terminal labeled WiFi-, also located in the middle of the electronics board.
Step 10 ­ Run a dedicated power cable to the fuse panel or RV power source with an inline 3 amp fuse. Run a ground cable to the chassis of the vehicle.
Step 11 ­ Connect the coax cable coming from the antenna to the ANT IN input.
Step 12 ­ There is an option to run a coax cable to an outside receptacle for park cable. If doing so, connect that cable to the PARK CABLE IN input.

12V DC Wiring Requirements

• Supply voltage ­ 9-16V
• Max operating current ­ 1A
• Max operating temperature ­ 60C
• Max power cable length ­ 50 ft (18 gauge wire recommended)
• 3A Fuse

Step 13 ­ You can wire up to 4 TVs with this wall plate. ConnecT each TV to the TV outputs as labeled below.

Option B ConnecT 2.0+ with WP2-6DC Wall Plate & Regular Wall Plate for OTA
EXTERIOR
Step 1 ­ Follow steps 1-7 from Option A.
INTERIOR (see diagram on page 5)
Step 2 ­ You will need two separate holes for each wall plate. For a wall or panel mount, drill or use a hole saw to create a 1¼” hole. Pull the power cable and coax cable through the wall or panel. Be sure the switch is in the OFF position before continuing. Slide the power switch into the wall plate.
Step 3 ­ Connect the +12V power wire from the vehicle to a small red terminal insulator. Crimp the connector. Connect this small red terminal insulator to the isolated spade of the power switch.
Step 4 ­ Connect the red wire from the Connect 2.0+ to another small red terminal insulator. Crimp the connector. Connect this small red terminal insulator to the other spade on the switch.
Option B ConnecT 2.0+ with WP2-6DC Wall Plate & Regular Wall Plate for OTA (cont)
Step 5 ­ Slide the ground wire from the vehicle into one end of a barrel crimp splice, and slide the black ground wire from the antenna into the opposite end of the splice. Crimp the splice.
Step 6 ­ Slide the power supply back into the hole created in step 2. Mount the wall plate with the two screws.
Step 7 ­ Run the coax cable from the Connect to the ANT IN input on the standard Winegard wall plate/power supply.
Step 8 ­ There is an option to run a cable to an outside receptacle. If doing so, connect that cable to the PARK CABLE IN input.
Step 9 ­ You can wire up to 2 TVs with this wall plate. Run a coax cable from the outputs to the ANT IN F-Jack on the back/side of the TV.
Step 10 ­ Make +12 VDC connection by running two #12 wires between the wall plate and the +12 VDC source. If in doubt as to the polarity of the wires, connect them temporarily to tabs on the circuit board and press the switch on the front of the outlet. If the light comes on, the polarity is correct.
Step 11 ­ Mount the wall plate power supply with two wall plate screws.

SWAPPING THE SIM CARD (4G LTE Systems Only)

The Winegard Connect 2.0+ comes ready for use out of the box, preinstalled with a unique Winegard SIM card that supports the fastest speeds available without the threat of throttling. Unlike some other hotspot data plans, the Winegard plan allows you to decide what data plan is right for you in a given 30 days and will not charge overages or throttle your speeds at any point. If you happen to need more data in a given month you are able to purchase additional plans.
At the time this manual was written, Connect 2.0+ supports the Winegard Plan, AT&T, and Verizon Wireless. Visit www.winegard.com/connect to view currently approved carriers. Winegard has no control over hotspot data plans through your provider.
If you choose to use your own 4G/LTE plan, you will need your cellular provider to supply you with an approved SIM card (Mini-SIM/Standard SIM 25mm x 15mm x 0.76mm). You may also need them to provide the correct APN (Access Point Name) for this SIM card. We have listed the correct APN in the Operation portion of this manual, but they are subject to change at the provider’s discretion. When you contact your cellular provider you may be required to provide them with some information

• Type of connection ­ Data only
• Type of device ­ Mobile Hotspot
• IMEI Number ­ This number will be located on the front of this manual along with on the outside of the outdoor antenna.

Once you have the SIM card from your cellular provider, you are ready to swap out the Winegard SIM. In order to do this, please follow these instructions:

1. Start with the ConnecT 2.0+ powered off.
2. Remove the 2 Phillips head screws that attach to the SIM card cover plate.

powered off, remove the SIM card from the device. Check the metallic contacts, clean if needed, and then reseat in the SIM card connector. Restart the device. If that doesn’t work contact Winegard at 1-800-320-9992.
Am I able to paint the Winegard ConnecT 2.0+?| Do not paint any portion of the ConnecT system. Painting the system could impact the performance and possibly cause damage, which would void the warranty.
I am not seeing the SSID for my ConnecT system.| Check that the LED, located under the SIM Card/LED cover entry plate, is powered on. If not, with a voltage meter, verify that 12V is getting from the vehicle power to the dome. If it is powered on and you do not see the SSID, reset the unit by pressing and holding the reset button under the SIM Card/ LED cover plate for 30 seconds.
The system software shows I’m connected to a WiFi source but why aren’t web pages not loading.| Some WiFi sources do not require a password to connect but do require something before they will let you use their network. In these cases, they will often have a “SPLASH” page that requires you to either agree to their rules or enter a password before they will allow you to use their network. These pages will not always load on the web browser that you select but instead open on your device’s default browser. Sometimes browsing a web page will also bring up this splash page.
What if I lost my manual and/or cannot find my SSID or password?| If you haven’t changed your factory preset SSID or password you have some options to recover these:
1. Located on the side of the dome is a SIM card /LED cover plate. Inside this plate, there will be a white label with your factory preset SSID and password.
2. Contact Winegard at 1-800-320-9992.
If you have changed your password you have 2 options:
1. Inside the SIM Card/LED cover plate there is a reset button on the left- hand side. Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds. This will restore the unit to the original factory settings. Then you may log in using the factory SSID and password located on the front of this manual or inside the cover plate.
2. If you are unable to gain access to the outside antenna you can also do a power cycle to get the unit back to the factory defaults. (See the Reset/Return to Factory Defaults section of this manual on page 5).
3. Contact Winegard at 1-800-320-9992.
What do I do if 10.11.12.1 does not bring up the login screen?| One of several things has happened. The first thing to check is the WiFi signal that your device is connected to. If this is not the Winegard ConnecT SSID, this address isn’t valid. If you are indeed connected to the correct network, the address may have been changed. To resolve this, perform a factory reset. See the Reset/Return to Factory Defaults section of this manual on page 5.
My device shows the SSID but when I enter the correct password it will not connect.| Try resetting the ConnecT 2.0+ to see if your device will then connect. See the Reset/Return to Factory Defaults section of this manual on page 5.
After switching from WiFi to 4G or vice versa my Internet Status field will not connect.| Verify that your device is still connected to the ConnecT. When switching between 4G and WiFi your device may have stopped the connection. In order to avoid this, it is recommended to have your device set to auto-connect to the ConnecT when in proximity.
What happens if my firmware update failed?| First, connect to a WiFi source. Navigate to the Update Software drop-down and click select. Finally, click on the Recover Modem button. This will reconfigure your modem.
What is the No Internet button on the main screen used for?| The No Internet button allows the user to turn off auto-connect if there is no WiFi around. When auto-connect searches for nearby saved WiFi networks, it causes the local AP to turn off making the user’s device(s) disconnect and reconnect.
What range and coverage can I expect to get?| To see the Winegard Nationwide coverage map, go to www.winegard.com/connect. If you are bringing your own SIM card, check your provider’s coverage map.
