Product Information

Once installed, the Winegard Air 360 Plus 5G system will bring in local, high

definition, over-the-air broadcast television. It has also been specifically

designed to work with the Winegard Gateway 5G as a WiFi extender and

5G/4G LTE router. It is not intended to work with any other router system.

The Air 360 Plus 5G is designed for RVs with a roof-radius of 230 inches to

flat and with a maximum 7-inch roof thickness. It can replace another TV

antenna and utilize the coax cable that has already been installed. If doing

this, ensure the coax runs from the Winegard antenna to the Winegard wall

plate/power supply.

The Air 360 Plus 5G must be installed first before attempting to install the

Gateway 5G. Before installing, verify 5 WiFi/5G antenna cables, from the Air

360 Plus 5G, can reach the connection points on the Gateway 5G router,

inside the RV.

The Winegard Gateway 5G must be installed on the ceiling of the RV, directly

below the Air 360 Plus 5G. A +12V power cable must be ran to this location

from the Gateway 5G power switch.

Safety Recommendations

Do not attempt to install this system in the rain or under any wet

conditions.

Do not paint this antenna. Painting the antenna will void the warranty.

Installation Instructions

–5–

Before mounting the antenna, determine locations for both the TV antenna

wall plate/power supply and Gateway 5G wall plate/power supply. Keep in

mind the following:

• Coaxial cables will have to run from the HDTV wall plate/power supply to the

antenna and from the wall plate to each television.

• If using the Air 360 Plus 5G to receive FM stations, an additional coax cable

(not provided) will have to run from the wall plate (TV OUT 1 or 2) to the

coax to audio cable (provided) and into the radio.

• Coax cables will have to be routed through the roof, directly under the

perimeter of the antenna. It will not seal correctly for the cables to exit

under the flange. Failure to install correctly could cause damage to the

antenna and possibly the RV.

–6–

• A +12V connection must be made to the back of both power supplies.

• The Winegard Gateway 5G can always be installed later, however it is

recommended to run the power cable to the intended mounting location of

the Gateway 5G router.

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 inches needed from center of antenna to front of

the vehicle.

– clearance distance of 18 inches needed from center of antenna to nearest

obstruction and to the edge of the roof.

* Over-The-Air Antennas can be impacted by obstructions. For best performance, install the antenna

as far away from any obstructions as possible.

Installation Instructions cont.

–7–

CAUTION: Do not overtighten the mounting screws. This could cause the

plastic flange to break.

Installation Instructions cont.

Step 1 – After selecting a spot

on the vehicle for the antenna,

drill a 1–3-inch hole in the roof

(DO NOT seal this hole) and

directly below drill a 1-inch hole

in the ceiling of the RV.

The ceiling hole must not be

greater than 1 inch. Otherwise,

the prewire hole cover will not

install.

Step 2 – Next, connect the

provided 20’ coax cable to the

over-the-air (OTA) connection

under the dome. If replacing an existing antenna, connect the coax cable

that is already installed to the OTA connection under the dome. Ensure that

the connection is finger tight. Connect another coax cable (not provided)

to the domed satellite connection inside the dome. Use a wrench to tighten

the connection in the opening provided (figure 1). Feed both coax cables

in the hole of the roof and route to the correct location of the TV wall plate/

power supply (OTA coax) and satellite receiver location (satellite coax).

Step 3 – Feed the other 5

cables (WiFi and 5G) down

into the roof hole and through

the ceiling of the RV. While

ensuring the cables stay in

the hole of the RV, position

the dome so that the domed

satellite F-Jack connection is

facing the rear of the vehicle

(figure 2).

Step 4 – It is recommended to use butyl tape (not provided) for extra

protection under the entire flange before screwing to the roof. Screw 6

approved mounting screws* into the

6 mounting holes around the flange

and into the roof of the RV.

Step 5 – Add approved sealant (check with RV manufacturer) completely

around the flanged base and over each screw.

Installation Instructions cont.

>If planning to install the Winegard Gateway now or at a later time:

Step 6 – Run the 10’ Gateway power cable from the hole where the five

antenna cables (yellow(2), green(2), and red) enter the ceiling of the RV to

the predetermined location of the Gateway wall plate/power supply. The

white connector of this power cable should be at the same location as the

yellow, green, and red connectors. The Winegard Gateway will use this

power cable. The bare wires of this power cable should be routed to where

the Gateway power switch will be installed.

Step 7 – (OPTIONAL) An ethernet cable can be run to the Gateway if hooking

to directly to an ethernet-enabled device, such as a smart TV. This will

provide better speed, lower latency, and a more reliable connection.

> If installing the Winegard Gateway 5G now, please review the Winegard

Gateway 5G installation manual followed by reviewing the Power Supply

Installation on page 10 of this manual.

> If installing the Gateway later continue to Step 8.

Step 8 – Lastly, zip tie the prewire power cable along with the 5G LTE and

WiFi cables to the notch on the backside of the white prewire hole cover.

Cut the excess length of the zip tie off and make sure all the cables are

tucked inside the ceiling before screwing the white prewire hole cover to

the ceiling with the 2 provided screws.

–9–

Step 1 – The power supply may be flush mounted in most standard electrical

boxes. To flush mount, cut a hole in the wall to fit the box. Run two #12 wires

between the wall plate and +12 VDC source, and route downlead cable to

this location.

Step 2 – Make a 12-volt connection from the RV to the power supply. Install

the supplied terminals on wires from +12 VDC source and crimp the

terminals with an appropriate crimping tool.

Step 3 – Push the wires onto tabs on the back of the power supply. (“PWR”

and “GND” are also noted on the underside of the power supply electronics

board).

Step 4 – Connect the coax cable from the antenna to the “ANTENNA” port on

the power supply and tighten until finger tight. Then, tighten ¼ turn more.

Step 5 – If hooking up the antenna to two televisions, connect a coax cable

from the “SET 2” port to the “Antenna In” port on the second television. If

hooking up a cable input, connect the cable input to the “CABLE” port on

the power supply.

Step 6 – Connect the coax cable from the satellite connection from the

antenna to the satellite port on the back of the wall plate.

Step 7 - Mount the power supply in wall with the provided screws.

Step 8 – Connect a coax cable from the coax port on the front of the power

supply to the “Antenna In” coax port on the main TV.

Step 9 – Press the “ON” switch on the front of the power supply, and check

that the wall plate indicator light is on.
