WILSON ELECTRONICS 311230 Drive RV Antenna Installation Guide
WILSON ELECTRONICS 311230 Drive RV Antenna

Package Contents

  • Drive RV Antenna w/25 ft. Cable (311230)

  • 13 in. Mast Extension

  • Spring, Side Exit Adapter & Antenna Mount

  • Thread Lock

Select Mounting Location

Mount Outside Antenna to a ladder or pole, so that the entire Outside Antenna is above the roof line of the RV and clear of other metal obstructions. We recommend doing a ‘soft install’, verifying the system works as desired, before permanently installing the kit.
Mounting Location

NOTE: Keep in mind to stay below the maximum height limit allowed by law, which varies from state to state (generally 14 ft. in western states and 13 ft.6 in. in eastern states.
Inductions

Assemble the Antenna

Once you have determined the best location for the antenna, insert cable through mast(s) then through Side Exit Adpater.
Antenna Assembly

Use thread locker (provided) to thread points and screw into place.
NOTE: Be sure the antenna is the correct height before applying thread locker.
NOTE: When adding the side exit adapter hold the antenna vertically and screw the adapter from the bottom up. This reduces cable twisting.
Antenna Assembly

Mounting the Antenna

Mount to ladder rail on RV as shown and route cable into RV then connect cable to the booster. The system  performs best with maximum vertical and horizontal separation.
NOTE: If installing with Spring, the Side Exit Adapter must be used.
Mounting Instructions

Safety Guidelines & Specifications

RF Safety Warning: Any antenna used with this device must be located at least 8 inches from all persons. AWS

Warning: The Outside Antenna must be installed no higher than 32 feet 9 inches (10 meters) above ground.
