Selecting a Location for the TRAV’LER Antenna

Before removing the TRAV’LER antenna from its box, check with your RV Dealer or manufacturer. Your

RV may be pre-wired or have a reinforced area for this system. DO NOT install in a location where a

gap of 3/16” or more exists, as it may damage the roof. See diagram at top of page 3.

Icons appearing in the manual are used for important information and helpful tips.

Alert indicates important information regarding

product use, product specications or procedures.

Important tip offers helpful suggestions or

refers you to a related topic in the manual.

INSTALLATION

When installing the TRAV’LER on a rubber roof, Winegard recommends using the SKA-004 Roller

Plate. If not using this plate, make sure that the roller does not come in contact with any rib supports

or bubbles in the roof when in operation. Failure to do so, may result in damage to the roof.

Rev. 3/31/08

Once you have checked for this:

1. Choose a location on the roof of the RV that will allow the dish to raise and rotate without interfer-

ence from other roof mounted equipment. The TRAV’LER antenna may only be mounted parallel to

the centerline of the coach.

2. The minimum roof space required for the TRAV’LER antenna is 43” L x 24” W.

a. The operational space requires that no obstructions taller than 8 inches be mounted within

a 62” diameter circle from the center of the unit.

FIGURE 2

Center Line of Coach

FRONT OF RV

You must nd a location on the roof that provides adequate space to allow the TRAV’LER antenna to

operate. The TRAV’LER antenna has a Front and Back and must be mounted correctly to avoid dam-

age to the TRAV’LER antenna or the coach. The antenna must be mounted +/-3 degrees of level

or the system may not function correctly. The Transition plate for the TRAV’LER unit is marked

“FRONT” and “BACK”. See Figure 1.

Plan your entire installation before

you start. Determine the location of

all of your equipment and make sure

cable and wires are long enough to

reach their destination points.

INSTALLATION

NOTE: Anything in the striped area will interfere with the operation of the TRAV’LER antenna

and may cause damage to the object or the TRAV’LER antenna.

TRAV’LER Mount Installation

Verify that the “FRONT” of the transition plate is facing the front of the vehicle then place the TRAV’LER

antenna mount on the roof where you plan to install it and mark the screw holes so you can see them.

Move the TRAV’LER mount out of the installation area. It is recommended that you don’t pre-drill the-

holes.

Use a solid bead of sealant to connect these marks in the shape of the base.

Replace the TRAV’LER antenna and screw it to the roof. Check with your vehicle manufacturer for any

special screw requirements before using the supplied screws.

3. The unit must be within 3° of level for best operation.

4. Make sure that the location offers enough support to attach the TRAV’LER antenna securely.

5. Find a well ventilated location with a 110 V outlet for the TRAV’LER Interface inside the vehicle.

Make sure to clean the installation area before you begin.

You will want to decide where the wires will enter the vehicle. One coax cable per receiver and a control

cable will need to be run into the vehicle.

Warning: Do not run the wires through the striped area shown. Consult your receiver

manual for specics in the diagram.

INSTALLATION

Run a solid bead of sealant around the transition plate, making sure to cover each screw head. Be

careful not to get any sealant above the lip of the transition plate. See diagram of transition plate.

Cable Entry Plate Installation:

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

You will need to run:

A coax directly to each receiver location.

A control cable to the TRAV’LER Interface box.

Drill a 1/2” 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.) Each receiver

will require at least one coax cable. See receiver manual for wiring details.

Place the cable entry plate supplied in hardware bag over the hole and cables. Screw the plate in place

and seal the plate and screw holes with approved sealant (not included).

Depending on the length of the cable on the roof, you may need to use cable clamps between the unit

and your cable entry plate. Clamping every 12-16” should eliminate any unnecessary cable movement.

Making the Right Connection

with FC-5910 Hex Connectors

Making a coaxial cable connection is critical. If you have the

basic technique right you can modify it to your own personal

taste. Whether you use a knife, stripping tool or diagonal cutter,

the important thing is to make a good clean cut. A hex crimping

tool is required for hex connectors, for maximum RF transmis-

sion.

As mentioned before, the choice of tools is yours. Be sure you

do a precise job. Failure to do so can cost you time and money

in trying to locate a system problem.

Cut the cable ush. Strip the outer

jacket off 1/2”, then trim the dielectric

by cutting partially thru. DO NOT

NICK THE CENTER CONDUCTOR!

Twist and pull off leaving a 1/2” minu-

mum of exposed center conductor.

Remove additional 1/4” of the outer

jacket.Pull the braid away from the

dielectric and fold over the jacket.

If there’s any residue on the center

conductor scrape off with non-metallic

object.

Slide FC -5910 connector onto coax.

Trim off excess braid.

Look into end of connector to make

sure no braid or aluminum foil touches

or has the possibility of touching the

center conductor. Shorting can result

if either comes in contact with center

conductor. Close crimping tool making

correct crimp.

IN HOT WEATHER: Trim off center

conductor leaving 3/16” beyond the

connector. The center conductor

expands at higher temperatures. If

a little extra is not provided, it may

contract enough in the winter to cre-

ate an open connection and result in

loss of picture.

IN COLD WEATHER OR INDOORS:

Trim off center conductor leaving it

extended 1/16” of an inch beyond the

connector. (Use diagonal pliers for

cutting center conductor).

1. Unplug TRAV’LER Interface.

2. Remove the black plastic bolt from the back of the

mount.

3. Insert a 3/8th socket extension into the auxiliary

drive as shown in Figure 1. Turn auxiliary drive clock-

wise to lower the unit. NOTE: DO NOT USE A DRILL.
