INSTALLING THE VANTENNA - MODEL B
Before choosing a location for the VanTenna, contact your caravan dealer
or manufacturer. Your caravan may have a reinforced area built in for this
system. We recommend having the VanTenna system installed by your
caravan manufacturer or a registered caravan repair centre.
Choose a location for the antenna that meets the following requirements:
1. Offers enough support for a secure installation.
2. Maintains adequate clearance from the edge of the roof and any
obstructions:
a. clearance distance of 600 mm needed from the side of antenna to the
front of the vehicle.
b. clearance distance of 500 mm needed from the side of antenna to the
nearest obstruction.
Careful consideration should be given to the best mounting position for the
VanTenna. The strength of television signals can be reduced signicantly once
the line of sight distance is exceeded. The VanTenna should be mounted as
high as possible and as far away as possible from any other roof mounted
obstructions to ensure the best reception.
To mount the VanTenna unit complete the following steps:
1. Check with your caravan manufacturer to determine what type of screws
are suitable for your roof.
2. Clean the roof at the location of installation and ensure that the area is
dry. This will allow for better adhesion of the sealing compound and will
prevent leaks.
3. Place the VanTenna at the selected location. Apply a liberal amount
of approved non-hardening sealing compound on the bottom of the
VanTenna and place the VanTenna on the roof.
4. Secure the VanTenna to the roof with four screws.
5. Run a solid bead of sealant over the mounting screws and around the
perimeter of the VenTenna base. This will help to prevent leaks.
6. Connect the pre existing coax cable to the side of the VanTenna unit.
