1. Decide the best location for the cables to enter the
vehicle, and the location of the switch and receiver
(see “Installing the switch and receiver”on page 10). Drill
a 1/2” hole in the roof, push wires inside. Make proper
connections.
You must have filtered +12 VDC power source.
2. Place cable-entry plate over hole and cables. Screw
in place. Seal plate and screw holes with approved seal-
ant (not included).
3. Depending on the length of the cable on the roof, you
may need to use cable clamps or wire ties (not pro-
vided) between the unit and your cable-entry plate.
Clamping the cable every 12”-16” should eliminate any
unnecessary cable movement, Figure 6.

INSTALLING THE POWER SWITCH
1. Choose a location to install the MV-4002 power
ON/OFF switch. Remember when selecting a location
that you will need to run the +12VDC power cable from
the MV-4002 to the switch. Be sure the switch is in
the OFF position before continuing. See Figure 9
page 10.
Wall or panel mount: Drill 1-1/4” hole, pull wires
through wall or panel.
Surface mount: Determine location and direction of
box. Mount box and feed wire into one of the box open
ings. Select plate cover (brown or white provided) and
snap the rocker switch into the switch plate. Be sure
switch is off!
2. Connect the ground wire from the vehicle and the
BLACK ground wire from the MV-4002 together,
using large yellow spade connector.
3. Connect the YELLOW spade connector to
the silver spade on the switch.
4. Connect the RED wire from the MV unit to the
small RED spade connector.
5. Connect small RED spade connector to center
spade on switch.
6. Connect the +12 V power wire from the vehicle to
a small RED spade connector.
7. Connect small RED spade connect to isolated
spade on switch.

10. The GPS antenna is pre-wired and has a 1 meter
cable running through one of the connectors.
Determine location for GPS antenna. It is recom-
mended you place the GPS antenna 3 feet from dome.
The recommended location for the GPS antenna is
based on having a level location and a clear view of the
sky for the best satellite signal acquisition. Do not se-
cure GPS antenna to roof at this time.
IMPORTANT! The GPS must be located minimum of 3
feet away from obstructions on roof of vehicle. Antenna
must have a clear view of the sky for proper op-
eration.
