Hi was thinking of installing one of these .Any body use these and how do you hook them up thanksdave

I just recently installed a sensar pro in my 2001 Beaver coach. I have been having issues with my OTA antenna for a couple of months. I decided to replace the antenna with a winegard sensar 4 antenna ansd install the sensar pro with it.First issue I had was that I had a bad cable feed wire that had kinked where it enters the roof. I replaced the whole cable from the top fitting of the antenna into the coach.The sensar pro was mostly switching out the old winegard receptacle that had the 12 volt opening and a button to push for turning the antenna amplifier on. This was easy to do and the directions were quite good. The only issue I had was tracing all my tv cable wires and marking them as to what they were hooked up to. Yours may be just swapping out the three cable wires and a positive and negative wire for the amplifier.I went from receiving one channel to receiving 31 channels now. I love it. Wish I had done it sooner.

I installed one in my last MH and it worked just fine. I had to enlarge the opening a bit, but no big deal. As mentioned above, the instructions were spot on, and very easy to hookup. Keep in mind that the new Sensar Pro does not have a cable out on the front panel like the old one, so if you are using it, then you will need to adjust the setup.

The Sensar Pro works very well and is simple to install. It's a wire for wire replacement for your existing Winegard power supply wall plate. If your coach does not have one then things are a little more complicated but the instructions are pretty clear and it should not be a problem for most handy people (can't say handyman anymore!).

If your coach does not have one then things are a little more complicated but the instructions are pretty clear and it should not be a problem for most handy people (can't say handyman anymore!).I agree, it made a big difference for me, and was rather easily installed.A few small differences from the standard winegard power supply complicated things only slightly. The winegard power supply had the output F connector soldered to a circuit board, that poked through a hole in the faceplate. The input connectors were also soldered on, and on the opposite end of the circuit board. The tiny thing fit inside the ceiling and the faceplate held it in there.The Sensar however is huge by comparison, and the inputs and output are all on wires, not fixed to anything. I could have enlarged the hole in my ceiling to fit it in, but what about the output connector, it would just be dangling. So I went to Lowes and got a plastic surface wall switch box, the kind designed for use with surface conduit. I drilled a hole in it for the output connector, and glued it in there. I then screwed the box onto the ceiling, covering the existing hole, and then attached the Sensar to it as usual.I did lose the 12v outlet that was part of the old amplifier, but that's no big deal.

Unless you BOMB specifically says "amplified" or has a DVR modulator as well as the other buttons, the box does not need a 12V source and the 12V can be removed from the BOMB and wired directly to the Sensar Pro. The BOMB does not need or use 12V for anything other than providing power to the antenna (except for the above exceptions).

All right call me stupid, I have a Sensar Pro installed in my rig but, what the h**l is the BOMB?
