Winegard MS-1000 TV Antenna User Manual


 
STEP 3. Attach “F” connector on cable from analog TV/
DTV receivers to power injector jack marked “TV”. See
gure 2.
STEP 4. Connect one “F” connector on supplied black
RG-6 cable to power injector jack marked “PWR IN”.
Connect the other “F” connector on supplied RG-6 cable
to jack on supplied AC (Wall Adaptor). See Figure 2.
STEP 5. Mount power injector to wall using supplied
screws. Plug in AC wall transformer to household wall
outlet.
Minimum Bending Radius: (RG-59/U, RG-6/U type) 3
inch radius. Tighter bends will cause shorts and change
impedance.
Pulling Tension: (Winegard CL-2700, CL-2800) 75
pounds maximum. Leave no tension on cable after it
is installed.
Staples or Clamps: The use of at staples with coax
cable is damaging to the cable. Only round headed
staples can be used. Any clamps or securing devices
used with coax should grip the cable evenly about the
circumference without crushing the cable.
Exposure to High Heat: Maximum temperature limit
80°C (176°F). Keep cable away from heating vents,
water heaters.
Crushing: Coax should not be installed in a manner
that would allow it to be crushed. The coax should not
be stuffed or wedged into areas where the cable could
be pinched.
Exposure to Moisture: Cable jacket will withstand
most outdoor environments. However, connections and
splices must be sealed against water entry.

ANTENNA MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1: Attach mounting bracket to bottom of antenna
as shown in Figure 1 and mount antenna on mast. The
tab on the plastic screw and notch on the bracket ensure
a secure connection. Use center set of holes on bracket.
Tighten U-bolt. Connect downlead to jack on antenna,
slide weather boot over boot collar.
(NON-AMPLIFIED)
STEP 2. Attach downlead from antenna to TV set.
(AMPLIFIED MODELS) If using the power supply,
follow these steps.
STEP2. Attach “F” connector on downlead cable to power
injector jack marked “ANTENNA”. See gure 2.

TIPS:
If splitting the signal to multiple TVs or combining with
another signal source, it is strongly recommended that
the power injector be installed between the antenna
and the splitter/combiner input. In this case, the cable
connection from the “TV” jack of the power injector
goes to the splitter input or valid combiner input. Use
splitters rated from 54-806 MHz or wider bandwidth
(commonly 5-1000 MHz) for over-the-air television
signal distribution.
Additional distribution/inline ampliers must be installed
FOLLOWING the TV output of the power injector, NOT
on the downlead cable line connecting to the ANTENNA
port. Check TV picture quality, if the power injector LED
is glowing when powered, and antenna alignment prior
to adding additional line ampliers.
To maximize the operating life of the amplier, install
the power injector close to the TV receiver (if only one
will be used with the antenna) or the rst signal split. A
maximum antenna-to-power injector length of 150 feet
RG-6 or 150 feet RG-59 is acceptable.
