STEP 7. Facing the front of the dish, find coax cables
attached to side of the feed arm, Figure 9. Measure 24”
of coax from this point and mark. DO NOT CUT. Rotate
mount on base clockwise, fully, until it stops. Route
coax around mount base, Figure 10.
Fasten cable clamp in hole in mount base (check roof
template inserted in this manual for correct location) at
end of the coax cable measurement.
STEP 8. Feed coax cables through the roof. Weather-
proof cable entry by applying sealant under the lip of the
cable-entry plate and where cable enters roof. Attach
plate to roof with screws provided. Apply sealant over
screws and around edge of roof-through plate, making
sure cable entry is sealed. Secure cables as necessary
to prevent whipping. If cable connections are exposed,
be sure to weatherproof connection!
Mount travel bracket to roof 6-1/8” from base, Figure
7, page 6.
STEP 9. Apply approved sealing compound to screw
heads, cable entrance hole and edge of gasket under
mount, AFTER mounting, Figure 7.
STEP 10. Attach satellite coax cable (with RG-6 printed
on it) to the satellite receiver.
STEP 11. Attach RS-1000 coax downlead (with RG-59
printed on it) to RV-7542 power supply. Refer to power
supply instruction sheet. You can connect the antenna

output from the power spply directly to the “TV ANT IN” on
satellite receiver. (Refer to receiver manual.) This allows
you to watch local channels when you turn off the receiver.
STEP 12. Connect digital elevation sensor at roof level, see
top of page 8.
ANOTHER METHOD OF INSTALLING ROOF CABLE/
ENTRY PLATE: Attach cable to roof using cable clamp.
Use sealant to seal screw heads.
