TRAV’LER®Multi-Satellite HDTV Antennas

Pre installation

Introduction

Tools Required

Congratulations!

You have selected the Winegard

TRAV’LER Automatic Multi-Satellite

TV Antenna. The TRAV’LER will

deliver the ability to view up to five

satellites at the same time with

unmatched signal strength, the lowest

travel height on the market, maximum

HD capabilities and easy to use

functionality– just like you get at

home.

This course provides important

information on the installation and

operation of your Satellite Interface

Box. After completing this course, you

will be able to understand the steps

involved in installing and operating

TRAV’LER antennas.

Safety

Unpacking Unit

Install only in dry conditions. DO NOT

attempt to install this system in the rain

or under any wet conditions. Moisture

may affect electronics and void your

warranty!

For best performance and to reduce

signal acquisition time, park the vehicle

on a level surface, free of obstructions

such as trees or large buildings.

Before beginning the installation of the satellite dish system, note these important recommendations.

Let’s get started with the installation.

Using a knife or sharp object, cut open the cardboard

box. Use caution when opening the box, taking care

not to cut the unit.

Remove the unit and all packing material from the

cardboard box. Use two people when removing the

unit.

Do not attempt to paint the TRAV’LER. Painting

the TRAV’LER ma

result in

our warrant

bein

voided.

The minimum roof space required for the TRAV’LER is 43″L x 24″W. The operational space

requires that no obstructions taller than 8 inches be mounted within 3 feet of the base.

The unit must be level for best

operation.

Make sure that the location

offers enough support to attach

the TRAV’LER securely.

Mount

Parallel to

Center line

of Coach

Using the level, locate a level spot on the RV roof for installation.

Check with your RV dealer or manufacturer, your RV may be pre-wired or have a reinforced

area for this system, DO NOT install this unit on an arch that will create a gap larger than

3/16″between the RV roof and the base (as shown in the graphic.)

The base is marked “FRONT” and “BACK”. Be sure “FRONT” faces the FRONT of the RV.

Level the base of the satellite unit front to back and side to side. The more level the base is, the

faster it will be to locate the correct satellite. An unleveled base may also prevent the unit from

acquiring a satellite signal.

Installation

Roof Location Requirements

It is important to find a location on the roof that provides enough space for the TRAV’LER

antenna to operate. The TRAV’LER antenna has a front and a back and must be mounted

correctly to avoid damage to the antenna or to the coach. The base for the TRAV’LER unit is

marked FRONT and BACK.

Be sure there are no obstructions in close range to where the satellite unit will be installed. Use

the provided graphic and measure to ensure adequate space between the obstruction and the

satellite unit. The TRAV’LER antenna must be mounted parallel to the center line of the coach.

TRAV’LER Mount Installation

Verify the “FRONT” of the transition plate is facing the front of the vehicle then place the

mount on the roof where you plan to install it. Mark through the screw holes on the base so you

can see them on the roof. Then move the mount out of the installation area.

Use a solid bead of sealant to connect

these marks in the shape of the base.

Carefully place the TRAV’LER back

onto the markings/sealant and screw it

to the roof. Check with your vehicle

manufacturer for any special screw

requirements before using the supplied

screws.

Run a solid bead of sealant around the

OUTSIDE of the transition plate,

making sure to cover each screw head.

Be careful not to

et an

sealant above

this lip.

The mount comes pre-attached to the transition plate. It is important not to seal the mount to the

transition plate so the unit can be removed from the plate without breaking the sealant.

Decide where the wires will enter the vehicle. One coaxial cable per receiver and a control cable

will need to be run into the vehicle.

Warning: Do not run the wires through the gray area shown on this graphic: anything in

the gray area will interfere with the operation of the TRAV’LER antenna and may cause

damage to the object or the antenna.

Cable Entry Plate Installation

Decide the best location for the cables to enter the vehicle.

You will need to run:

A coaxial directly to each receiver location.

A control cable to the Internal Display unit.

Drill a hole in the roof and push the required

wires through. (Installations for multiple receivers

may require a larger hole or multiple holes as each

receiver requires a dedicated coax cable.) See the

receiver manual for wiring details.

Make all the necessary connections to the receiver. For best operation, use the coax ports on the unit

in order. (Port “A” for the main receiver, Port “B” for a secondary, etc.)

Connect the coax cable from the dish to the “SATELLITE IN” on the rear of the receiver.

If connecting a second receiver, feed the opposite end of the coax cable through the hole

in the roof and connect it to the “SATELLITE IN” on the rear of the secondary receiver

in the vehicle.

Cable Installation

Attach the TRAV’LER control cable to the

TRAV’LER interface box as shown in the

graphic.

Attach the output cable from the power

supply to the TRAV’LER interface box.

Then, plug the power supply into a 110 AC

outlet.

Finally connect a separate coaxial cable to

each of the receivers being used with the

TRAV’LER Automatic Satellite Dish.

After completing the wiring, return to the roof.

Follow the steps listed below.

Apply approved sealant around the outer

edge of the hole.

Use the cable-entry plate and position it over

the hole and cables.

Use the appropriate number of screws to

secure the plate to the roof.

Apply sealant around the perimeter of the

plate and over the screws.

Once the wires are run and the sealant has started to cure:

Press the POWER button and hold for one second to turn the TRAV’LER interface box on.

Then press ENTER and hold for two seconds or until the unit enters the menu mode.

Press SELECT until the asterisk is on “Yes”

and press ENTER to go into the user menu.

TRAV’LER®Interface Box

Press the SELECT button to move the asterisk to “installation” and press ENTER.

When asked to provide a code, press ENTER four times, to enter 0000 for the code.

Press SELECT to move the asterisk to “Raise Antenna” and press ENTER. The TRAV’LER will

raise about half way up and make it possible to attach the reflector.

If the LED displays an “EL MOTOR STALL” this is normal and the reflector is ready to be

installed. This message is used to verify that the antenna has raised completely to the upper limit.

WARNING: Pay attention to these pinch points as the antenna raises.

Attach the reflector to the mounting

bracket, using the nuts and bolts

provided.

Pinch Points

Press POWER to stow the antenna to the travel position.

Once the antenna is stowed, the power will shut off.
