The install depends on if you have a Winegard Wall plate with switch, light, 12 volt outlet and antenna connection or a box of many buttons (Like I do)
First method: Wall plate
Following instructions remove 2 screws from wall plate,, REmove and protect two 12 volt wires, Remove and label 3 Coax cables.. Fit Sensar pro into box, if it will nto go all the way in use the spacer provided and try again.. SUCCESS continue.
I would NOTCH one corner of the box to let the TV one line comne out to the front (if that is you had a TV-1 connected to the front of the wall plate)
Re-connect the 3 coax cables in teh back, Re-connect the two 12 volt leads, hold the TV-1 Cable in the notch (NOTE: TV-1 and TV-2 are interchangable) and mount unit using two screws provided.. Connect TV 1. Press button to turn on.
With box of many buttons.. Obtain and install a standard outlewt box,, Mine is plastic, at any handy install point near your BOMB.
On the BOMB disconnect the ANT cable, and if needed extend it, if not just run it, to inside the outlet box.. label it ANT
Run a newe cable from the BOMB's ANT connection into the box
Tap the 12 volt lines (Splice into them) for the BOMB and run those into the box (NOTE, work on one wire at a time to prevent shorts)
Connect `12 volt to terminals on Sensar Pro.. Connect Cable to BOMB to TV-1 (or TV-2) Connect ANT cable to ANT, (NOTE In my case I notched and brought the CABLE port out as an additional "AUX" in shoudl I ever need it, so far it just hangs there)
And again mount unit in box and press button to turn on
GAIN settings 10 seems to be unity, higher is gain, lower cuts teh signal strewngth (Useful if parked at the transmitter site, or close to it)
Very happy with mine.
