Setup Option 2

1. Drill a 1

 hole in the roof, and push the power/control cable through the hole. If you would like any cables running 

from the splitter to enter the roof at this same point, push the cable(s) through this hole. Place the supplied cable 
entry plate over the hole and cables, and screw the plate in place using eight of the supplied mounting screws. If 
making multiple holes for cables to run from the splitter to each receiver, push the cables through the respective 
holes. Seal the plate, screw holes, and other drilled holes with approved sealant (not included).

TIP

 

Depending on the length of the cable on the roof, you may need to use cable clamps between the unit and the 
cable entry plate. Clamping every 12–16” should eliminate any unnecessary cable movement.

2. Connect the power/control cable running from the mount base to the “DC OUT/ANT. COMM.” port of the interface box. 

3. Connect the power supply to the “DC IN” port of the interface box.

4. Connect one end of the AC power cord to the power supply and the other end to a 110V outlet.

5. Connect a coax cable from port “C” of the mount base to the “In from SWM” port of the splitter.

6. Connect a coax cable from the “POWER TO SWM” port of the power inserter to the “Out 1” port of the splitter, and 

connect the “SIGNAL TO IRD” port of the power inserter to a receiver. The “Out 1” port of the splitter is the only port 
that is power passive; therefore, the power inserter must be connected to this port of the splitter. 

Terminate unused 

splitter outputs with a 75 ohm termination cap.

7. Connect a coax cable from the splitter to each receiver. The receiver(s) should already be connected to the TV(s). Note 

that the provided coax cable only includes a connector on one end.

8. Plug in the power inserter to a 110V outlet.

Installing the Reflector

Once the sealant around the cable entry plate has begun to cure, check that there is nothing above the unit that might 
prevent the antenna from raising. Follow the instructions on the next page to raise the antenna for reflector installation. 
In some cases you may be able to install the reflector with the unit in the stowed position; if so, skip to step 3.
