Inside RV
For roof thickness greater than 6-1/2”.
Parts Needed: (not included)
14” worm gear for roof
Directional handle extension
Long threaded rod
Instructions:
STEP 8. Place nut on threaded rod. See Figure 8.
STEP 9. Measure and cut the threaded rod with a
hacksaw. Use the chart (Figure 10) to determine the
correct length.
Digital Elevation Sensor Roof Connections
The illustrations below show the different methods of connecting wires at roof level; method will depend on model.
Wire colors must match, i.e. red to red, green to green, black to black.
This wire harness connects to the digital
elevation sensor on the antenna.
NOTE: This terminal is NOT WEATHERPROOF
and CANNOT be left outside on the roof.

Supplied with DM-2000 only
3M UR TERMINAL
NOTE: This terminal is weatherproof
and can be left outside on the roof IF
SECURED PROPERLY to prevent wind
whipping.
DO NOT STRIP
wires. Terminal
is self-stripping.
Slide wires all the way in.
Squeeze pliers until
red plunger is flush
with rest of terminal.
(Pliers not supplied.)
STEP 10. Remove the nut over the cut end of the
threaded rod. This cleans the threads after cutting.
STEP 11. Thread the cut end of the rod into the hub.
STEP 12. Install the ceiling plate. The rotate/lock lever
must point toward the rear of the vehicle.
Be sure rotate/lock lever is pointing towards the rear
of the vehicle and that the hole in ceiling plate aligns
with hole in the ceiling.
Refer to the chart to determine the correct length for
the directional handle. Extensions may be needed. Each
extension adds 2-1/4” to directional handle. DO NOT cut
the extension. If the directional handle must be extended
by less than 2-1/4”, cut the directional handle to fit.
A tube cutter is recommended for cutting the
directional handle. This gives a square cut; a hacksaw
does not.
Be sure large and small keyways line up in the hub and
directional handle!

Measure 24” of coax
at plastic fastener on
left side of feed arm.
(See Step 5.)
No cable clamps on
this part of cable.
Rotate
clockwise
to stop.
STEP 3. Attach dish to backup. Use bolts and nuts
provided. See Figure 4.
STEP 4. Mount dish on roof in upright position. Rotate
clockwise to stop (Figure 5). Dish will be toward back
of vehicle when in stowed or travel position. The word
FRONT is embossed on the base and should face the
front of vehicle. Secure to roof using screws (provided).
The travel bracket should be mounted to roof 6-1/8”
from base of dish, toward back of vehicle. See Figure 6.
NOTE: Apply non-hardening sealing compound to
screw heads, coax access hole and edge of gasket
under mount base.
Install the vent tube on the back of the mount base (the
side opposite the word FRONT). The hole for the vent
tube is shown in Figure 6A. CAUTION: DO NOT seal
hole in vent tube. Put sealant around the outside of the
vent tube, approximately 1/2” from end. Push vent tube
into the hole. The sealant will seal the hole as you push
in vent tube. Leave approximately 2 to 2-1/2” of the vent
tube extending from the hole. Put a small amount of
sealant on the roof under the vent tube end to hold in
place.

Install cable entry plate 3”
minimum from mount base.
CAUTION: DO NOT GET sealing compound between
base plate and rotating gear housing. DO NOT PAINT
top of base plate or around rotating gear housing.
STEP 5. Facing the front of the dish, note the coax
attached to the side of the feed arm. Measure 24” coax
from this point. DO NOT CUT. Put coax around mount
base, Figure 5.
STEP 6. Apply approved sealing compound over
mounting screw heads in base plate.
STEP 7. Feed coax through the roof using cable entry
plate (included). See Figure 7. Weatherproof the cable
entry by applying sealant under lip of cable entry
plate and where cable enters roof. Attach plate to roof
with screws provided. Apply sealant over screws and
around edge of roof-thru plate, making sure cable entry
is sealed. If downlead connection is made on top of
roof, make sure to weatherproof connection!
