How to get better tv reception

Is the sensor pro hard to install?

Several answers. Most are "NO" First.. I'm very well trained in this type of install so for me "in my sleep" all but applies

I will describe the job if you have a wall plate, Full instrucitons are included

First remove any coax from teh FRONT connector on the wall plate, Label it TV-1 (A plastic Bread closer (The flat tag type) works well for this) and do not loose it

now remove two screws (top and bottom) from face plate and pull gently toward yhou

on the back are 2 wires (Red and black usually) and 3 cables

With the 12 volt outlet at the top label the 3 cables as follows

Ant Cable TV-2

And disconnect.. NOTE if there is a chance of the cables getting lost. Tie a string to them

Now. See if the Sensar Pro will fit (Some Rv's it won't go in all the way) IF it goes all the way in, Great, skip next paragraph.

If not, there is a "Spacer" included in the kit. Put it over the sensar pro.. Then reconnect cables as follows

TV-2 to TV-2, Cable to Cable, Ant to ant

Now for TV one.. I suggest cutting a small notch in the corner (lower left) of the opening and bringing TV-1 cable out that notch. Transfer the two wires paying attention to the PLUS and MINUS markings, Insert Sensar pro in hole, and apply the screwes included to hold it.

Hook TV-1 to the cable you brought out

To operate.. There are three buttons UP/Down and Mode

Crank up ye old antenna and if you have an idea of where to point, Do so

Press the MODE button till it lights up (one press should do it, or two at the most) you want the top LED.. Within a second or two you should see two numbers,, The Bottom one is the carrier channel it is seeing and the top one is signal strength, rotate for highest number on top.

You may, if needed, tap the mode button to bring it down to GAIN and use the up;down to adjsut (default gain is 10, which is, as best I can guess, what the old wall plate was,, Unity, no gain, no attenuation. Higher numbers are gain. UP/Down adjusts

NOTE that with Digital TV the Carrier channel, and the TV's Display channel.. need not be the same.

With the BOX of many buttons.

I had to splice into the power leads, and add a jumper and a mounting box.. that made it a lot harder, but still easy.


What is hard (relative to installing the Sensar pro)? Typing this out. (I am a touch typist with a quarter century experience typing on computers professionally in addition to my hobby)
