INSTALLING THE VANTENNA - MODEL A
Before choosing a location for the VanTenna, contact your caravan dealer or
manufacturer. Your caravan may be pre-wired or 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.
Before mounting the antenna, determine a location for the wall plate/power
supply. Keep in mind the following:
• A coaxial cable will have to run from the wall plate/power supply to the
antenna and from the wall plate/power supply to each television.
• An additional coax cable will have to run from the AM/FM antenna to the
radio (coax not provided).
• Coax cables will have to be routed through the roof directly into the
perimeter of the antenna. Failure to install correctly could cause damage to
the antenna and possibly the caravan or motorhome.
• A 12V connection must be made to the back of the wall plate/power
supply.
Then, 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.
