#RV ANTENNA BOOSTER LOCATION SERIES#
Simply place one terminal on the copper centre wire and one on the connector body to check this.Īfter you have raised your antenna (either on a pole for camping antennas, or by winding up the Ultra series antennas), you will need to orient your antenna toward the most suitable transmission tower in your area. There should be 12 volts (+/- 1 volt) at the connection to the antenna booster. Note: A further check can be made at the coaxial cable on the roof, using a multimeter. In the case of the Winsig camping antenna, the supplied power injector (either 12v or 240v) must be plugged in and the main power switch activated for the power to reach the electronic booster.

If the light flashes or does not illuminate at all, this is an indication that the power is not reaching the electronic booster, and professional help should be sought to rectify this. When operating correctly, the light next to the switch will be constantly illuminated. In the case of the Winsig wind-up antennas, this is achieved by activating the caravan TV wall plate switch. 12-volt DC power must be connected or you will be unable to receive any TV reception. The electronic booster on your Winsig antenna is crucial to the operation of the system. These cables need to be separated to prevent interference from the power cable corrupting the TV signal. One common mistake that must be avoided, is to have the TV RF cable in a “tidy conduit” with the power cable for the TV. We cannot recommend the use of this cable more highly, as the interface to the TV is a major source of poor reception concerns. We provide these in order to prevent the use of cheap unshielded cables that are routinely provided with your TV. These are made from the same Quad Shielded cable as used in our antennas. Dont forget the connections behind the TV wall plate!Īll of our antenna kits feature a new cable provided to run from your amplifier/wall plate to the TV. We recommend that all connections be undone and inspected for corrosion, or bent centre conductor, etc. Do not over-tighten these connections, but finger tight is not enough! We simply cannot stress how important this is, as the antenna on the roof cannot compensate for poor cables and connections. All connections must be firmly fastened with an 11mm spanner, or similar.
