Installation
1. Decide the best location for the cables to enter the
vehicle, and the location of the power switch and
receiver (see “Installing the switch and receiver”on
pages 9 and 10). Drill a 1/2” hole in the roof, push
wires inside. Make proper connections.
Youmusthaveltered+12VDCpowersource.
2. If installing a second receiver, route second coax
cable (not supplied) through empty Heyco into base.
Connect to secondary coax connection point. See
page 6.
3. Place cable-entry plate over hole and cables. Screw
in place. Seal plate and screw holes with approved
sealant (not included).
4. Depending on the length of the cable on the roof,
you may need to use cable clamps or wire ties (not
provided) between the unit and your cable-entry plate.
Clamping the cable every 12”-16” should eliminate any
unnecessary cable movement.
