1 Guide for Using DIRECTV SWM Technology with Winegard Mobile Satellite TV Antennas For up-to-date information on receiver compatibility & programming, visit Rev6 4-14

2 Receivers Compatible with SWM Technology Winegard mobile satellite TV antennas that operate with Multi-switch technology require separate accessories to operate with DIRECTV Single Wire Multi-switch (SWM) only technology receivers. For an up-to-date list of DIRECTV DVR and non-dvr receiver models that are only compatible with SWM technology, visit This website also lists Winegard mobile satellite TV antennas that are compatible with DIRECTV. If unsure of your receiver model, check the back of the receiver or the inside front door of the smart card slot. Model number SWM Kit Parts For proper SWM operation with Winegard satellite TV antennas that operate with Multi-switch technology, the SWM8, DIRECTV PI-28 or PI-29 power supply, and DIRECTV approved splitter (typically 2, 4, or 8 port) must be used. Failure to use this equipment may cause issues with your system. Note that Model SK-SWM3 SWM TRAV LER antenna operates with DIRECTV SWM technology without separate accessories. The DIRECTV power inserter PI-28 or PI-29 may damage a DIRECTV receiver if improperly connected in the system. The SWM output of the power inserter should never be directly applied to the input of a receiver. During installation, verify all wiring before applying power to the power inserter. SWM8 Splitter Power Inserter Calculating Tuners for SWM Installation DIRECTV SWM8 allows the use of up to eight tuners with a Winegard satellite antenna. Count the tuners in your SWM installation to check that there are less than or equal to eight tuners being used with SWM8. Keep in mind the following when counting the number of tuners: A non-dvr receiver counts as one tuner. A DVR receiver has dual tuners and counts as two tuners (even though only one coaxial cable is needed to connect to a DVR receiver). The exceptions are the DIRECTV Genie and HR34 DVR receivers, which have five tuners and count as five tuners when calculating tuners for a SWM installation. Number of non-dvr receivers + 2 x Number of DVR receivers = Total tuners for SWM8 installation Maximum of 8 non-dvr receivers Maximum of 4 DVR receivers Total tuners 8 for SWM8 installation Example Two non-dvr receivers and three DVR receivers are being used for a SWM8 installation. 2 non-dvr receivers + 2 x 3 DVR receivers = 8 total tuners for SWM installation Warnings 1 Never use B-Band converters with SWM8. Do not use a DIRECTV PI-21 power inserter with a SWM8. Use a DIRECTV power inserter PI-28 or PI-29. Never power on all receivers at once. Sequentially power receivers since every receiver must get a SWM assignment. The power inserter must be installed inside the vehicle.

3 Switch Settings The RoadTrip T4, Carryout G2 and G2+ antennas are preset for DIRECTV programming. If using these antennas with DISH or Bell TV programming, change the numbered dip switches found on the electronics box. The antenna should not be connected to 12 VDC power when changing dip switch settings. TABLE 5.1. Switch settings for RoadTrip T4, Carryout G2 and G2+ antennas according to provider Primary Satellite Alternate Satellite Switch settings DIRECTV Key for Table 2.5 Switch is up Switch is down DISH / Bell TV To complete a successful search, the antenna must locate the primary satellite but does not need to locate alternate satellites. If the dome was removed to change the switch settings, place the dome back over the base, and insert and tighten the dome screws. Installing the Antenna on the Roof Before installing the Pathway X1, Carryout G2 or G2+ antenna, the rubber feet must be removed, and the metal feet must be installed (refer to pg. 4). Then, choose a location to install the roof-mounted satellite TV antenna, and place the antenna in the chosen location. Do not place the antenna upsidedown on the roof as this may cause damage to the dome. Rotate the base until the cable connections face the back of the vehicle. Level the base front-to-back and side-to-side. Once the antenna is in the chosen location, trace around each foot. Remove the antenna from the installation area, and apply sealant in the traced area. Carefully place the feet directly onto the sealant. Check with your vehicle manufacturer for any special screw requirements for your vehicle, and screw each foot to the roof. For best performance and to reduce signal acquisition time, park the vehicle on a level surface that is free of obstructions such as trees or buildings. If the base is not level, the antenna may require more time to locate the correct satellite or may not locate the correct satellite. Roof-Mounted Dome Antennas 48

5 Wiring the Pathway X1 or Carryout G2 Antenna Before wiring the Pathway X1 or Carryout G2 antenna, the roof-mount feet must be installed on the antenna. To install the mounting feet, complete the following steps: 1. If the handle has been installed, remove the screws holding the handle to the antenna with a Phillips screwdriver, and remove the handle. 2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the feet from the bottom of the base. 3. Remove the dome screws with a Phillips screwdriver. Remove the dome. 4. Remove the two nuts holding the eyelet to the base with a 3/8 socket wrench. Remove the eyelet. 5. Insert the two threaded posts on a mounting foot through the two holes from which the eyelet was removed, and thread a hex nut onto each post. 6. Locate the other holes for the remaining two mounting feet, keeping in mind that the feet should be equally spaced around the base. Install the remaining two mounting feet. 7. Using a 3/8 socket wrench, tighten all hex nuts holding the mounting feet to the base. 8. Place the dome back onto the base, and re-install dome screws. To wire the Pathway X1 or Carryout G2 antenna, complete the following steps: 1. Connect a coax cable from the primary receiver to the main port on the back of the base. For installations that require a secondary coax cable, connect the cable to the secondary port on the back of the base. 2. If there is a power socket on the base, connect one end of the power cable to the power socket on the base. If the antenna requires connection to a 12V power source via a power cable, cut off the power cord 12V plug. 3. Drill a hole in the roof for the cables, and push the wires inside. Install the provided cable entry plate over the hole and cables. To install the power switch (not used with the Pathway X1 antenna), complete the following steps: 1. Choose a location to install the power On/Off switch. When selecting a location, remember that you will need to run the +12VDC power cable from the Winegard satellite system to the switch. 2. For a wall or panel mount, drill 1¼ hole, and pull wires through wall or panel. 3. Be sure the switch is in the Off position before continuing. See Figure Connect the +12V power wire from the vehicle to a small red flag connector. 5. Connect a small red flag connector to isolated spade on switch. 6. Connect the red wire from the antenna to the small red flag connector. 7. Connect the small red flag connector to the center spade on switch. 8. Slide the ground wire from the vehicle into one end of the barrel crimp splice, and slide the black ground wire from the antenna into the opposite end of the splice. Crimp the splice. The power switch and power cable will not be used with the Pathway X1 antenna. The Pathway X1 antenna is powered through the receiver. The wall plate and power switch provided with the roof mount kit are different from the wall plate and power switch provided with the RoadTrip antennas (see fig. 5.4). Wall plate Power switch FIGURE 5.4. Wall plate and power switch included with roof mount kit Roof-Mounted Dome Antennas 50

7 Sealing Apply sealant around the edge of feet and over screws (see fig. 5.7). When sealing the RoadTrip antenna, do not apply sealant to the hex nuts on the feet. This way, the antenna can be removed (if necessary) from the roof without breaking the sealant (see fig. 5.8). FIGURE 5.7. Sealant applied over RoadTrip antenna foot and screws. After wiring the antenna, seal around the hole where cables enter the vehicle and in-between cables. Fasten the cable entry plate to the roof, and seal around the perimeter of the cable entry plate, especially the point at which cables enter the plate (see fig. 5.8). Allow sealant adequate time to cure. The DISH Wally or 211z receiver and DIRECTV H24 single tuner receiver are recommended for use with RoadTrip or Carryout G2 antennas (see fig. 5.9). The Pathway X1 is exclusively compatible with DISH Solo HD receivers such as the Wally and 211z receiver. A FIGURE 5.8. Sealant applied over cable entry plate and around cable entry hole. Receiver Recommendations Winegard RoadTrip, Carryout G2 and G2+ antennas will operate with most DISH and DIRECTV receivers. Winegard recommends using a single tuner receiver. Recommended models include the DISH Wally, 211z and DIRECTV H24 receivers. Winegard does not recommend using receivers with built-in hard drives not recommended by the manufacturer for mobile applications. These receivers are more susceptible to issues due to excessive heat and/or vibrations found in RV installations. See NOTE at right. The Pathway X1 antenna is exclusively compatible with DISH Solo HD receivers Wally and 211z. FIGURE 5.9. Receivers.

10 DISH Receiver Setup for Wally Receiver After connecting the antenna to a receiver and the receiver to a power source, complete receiver setup for the primary receiver. The primary receiver determines which satellite is viewed; if using a secondary receiver, the secondary receiver will need to be set up for that satellite. The secondary receiver will require a Check Switch test every time the primary receiver toggles to a different satellite. If using the new Wally receiver with the DISH Playmaker antenna, the receiver will go through an Installation Wizard to help with the setup process. During the search routine, the antenna will scan for satellites. The antenna may make a slight grinding sound when searching for satellites; this is normal and does not harm the unit. Once the search routine is complete, the receiver will update. Step 1 Follow the on-screen instructions to program the remote control. Figure 1 The receiver may reboot automatically as part of the update process. If so, select the state of your current location on the Mobile Antenna Setup screen, and press Scan to begin the search routine. Figure 2 Step 2 During step 2 of the Installation Wizard, the unit will need to acquire satellites and may update the receiver (figures 1-5). This step will require a search initiated by the Mobile Setup screen. Fill in the required information, and then select Scan to begin the search routine. If not already activated, the receiver will need to be activated. To activate the receiver, call Winegard Company at Step 3 During the search routine, the antenna will scan for satellites. The antenna may make a slight grinding sound when searching for satellites; this is normal and does not harm the unit. Once the search routine is complete, the receiver may update.

Press Scan to begin the search routine. The satellite will search for and acquire satellites. Step 5 If not already activated, the receiver will need to be activated (figure 6). To activate the receiver, call Winegard Company at Figure 5 Figure 6 IF the steps in the Troubleshooting section (page 64) do not resolve the error, re-boot the receiver and start the Mobile Antenna Setup again; often, this will resolve the problem. If the problem persists, contact Winegard Technical Services at help@winegard.com or Figure 7 Step 6 After the receiver has been activated, the receiver will begin acquiring signal (figure 7) and downloading the Electronic Programming Guide (figure 8). Once the download is complete, you can start watching TV. Figure 8 FIGURE Steps 4 8 of DISH receiver setup for the Wally receiver Roof-Mounted Dome Antennas 56

12 DIRECTV Receiver Setup RoadTrip, G2 & G2+ Antennas Complete the following steps to set up the RoadTrip, Carryout G2 or G2+ antenna for use with DIRECTV programming (see fig. 5.14, & 5.15). If your receiver differs from the options shown, you may need to consult your receiver manual. The wording and display used in your receiver may differ slightly. Online receiver setup guides are available for Winegard antennas at setupguide.php. Step 1 Press the Menu button on your remote. Select Settings. Images shown are from a H24 receiver. HD receiver screens and steps may vary slightly. Mike s Note: From the Searching screen, if you cannot get into the menus, you could wait 10 minutes for the receiver to timeout or just continuously hold down the info button on the remote until a menu pops up. Step 2 Select Satellite. Step 3 Identify the Satellite menu in the receiver menu. Once there, find the option for satellite setup. FIGURE Steps 1 3 of DIRECTV receiver setup 57 Roof-Mounted Dome Antennas

14 Dome Antennas Receiver Setup DISH Receiver Setup Pathway X1 Antenna After connecting the antenna to a receiver and the receiver to a power source, complete receiver setup for the primary receiver. The primary receiver determines which satellite is viewed; if using a secondary receiver, the secondary receiver will need to be set up for that satellite. The secondary receiver will require a Check Switch test every time the primary receiver toggles to a different satellite. If setting up a new receiver with the Pathway X1 antenna, the receiver will go through an Installation Wizard to help with the setup process. Step 1 Follow the on-screen instructions to program the remote control. Then, during step 2 of the Installation Wizard, the unit will need to acquire satellites and update the receiver. During the search routine, the antenna will scan for satellites. The antenna may make a slight grinding sound when searching for satellites; this is normal and does not harm the unit. Once the search routine is complete, the receiver will update. Step 2 This step will require a search initiated by the Mobile Setup sreen. Fill in the required information, and then select Scan to begin the search routine. The receiver may reboot automatically as part of the update process. If so, select the state of your current location on the Mobile Antenna Setup screen, and press Scan to begin the search routine. If not already activated, the receiver will need to be activated. To activate the receiver, call Winegard Company at Step 3 After the receiver has been activated, the receiver will begin acquiring signal and downloading the Electronic Programming Guide. Once the download is complete, you can start watching TV. FIGURE Steps 1 3 of DISH receiver setup for the Pathway X1 antenna 59 Roof-Mounted Dome Antennas

15 Dome Antennas Receiver Setup Updating Receiver Software For optimal performance, update receiver software occasionally. Step 1 To allow the software to update, leave the satellite on signal, and press the Power button the remote or front panel of the receiver; this will put the receiver in Standby mode. Do not unplug the receiver at this time. Step 2 After being in Standby mode for a few minutes, the software will automatically begin to update. Upon completion of the update, the receiver will reboot. After the receiver has rebooted, the receiver will need to reacquire satellites and complete setup. FIGURE Steps 1 2 of updating receiver software for the Pathway X1 antenna Operation of Secondary Receiver with Pathway X1 When using a secondary receiver with the Pathway X1 antenna, the secondary receiver does not have the full function of the primary receiver. The primary receiver will determine which satellite is viewed, and the secondary receiver will need to be set up for that satellite. If the primary receiver changes to a channel on a different satellite, the secondary receiver will lose reception and need to complete setup again on the new satellite. Refer to the Pathway X1 manual for more information on setting up the secondary receiver. Operation of Secondary Receiver with RoadTrip Mission and T4, Carryout G2 and G2+ When installing a secondary receiver, the intial setup has to be performed on primary coax in order to download the proper check switch information. Once the the SW64 switch is downloaded into the secondary receiver it can be moved to the secondary coax. Roof-Mounted Dome Antennas 60

16 Dome Antennas Operation Five Basic Steps to Operation There are five basic steps to operation; however, some steps are only used with in-motion systems. The five basic steps are homing, GPS acquisition, searching, tracking, and standby. RoadTrip antennas are available in stationary or in-motion/tracking models. The Pathway X1, Carryout G2 and G2+ antennas are available only in stationary models. Stationary models enable users to watch TV while the vehicle is stationary. In-motion/tracking models enable users to watch TV while the vehicle is stationary or in motion. Mike s Note: If an in-motion dish has not acquired GPS after 10 minutes, it could be an obstruction or the GPS cable is disconnected from its circuit board. Homing After turning on the power switch, the roof-mounted satellite TV antenna will make a series of movements to check its rotational limits. As the antenna checks its rotational limits, you may hear a slight grinding sound. This process ensures that the satellite dish knows where it is pointing relative to its mechanical limits. GPS Acquisition (In-Motion Models Only) In-motion antennas have a GPS antenna and will acquire a GPS signal after completing the homing process (see fig. 5.18). This can take as little time as a few seconds or as much time as a few minutes; if the antenna is in a new location over 600 miles from where it was last used, GPS acquisition may take longer than one to two minutes. If the antenna does not acquire GPS after homing, the antenna will turn 90 degrees and try again, repeating this process until acquiring GPS. A B If signal does not return as the satellite continues to find alternate satellites, see Troubleshooting on page 63. FIGURE A, RoadTrip T4 In-motion antenna with GPS antenna. B, Carryout G2+ Stationary antenna without GPS antenna. Searching The antenna will set an initial search elevation and will begin searching for satellites. To do so, the antenna will make 360 degree scans of the sky at different elevation angles until satellites can be found. During this process, it is normal for the receiver signal meter to show signal strength and then show no signal temporarily as the antenna continues to find alternate satellites. Once all necessary satellites are found, signal will return. Eventually, the dish will time out if no satellites are found. After moving to a better area, cycle the power to get a new search. 61 Roof-Mounted Dome Antennas

17 Dome Antennas Operation Tracking While tracking, an in-motion RoadTrip antenna will actively follow the satellite while the vehicle is in motion. If the user changes to a channel on an alternate satellite, the system will toggle in tracking mode. The tracking process will continue until the vehicle is stationary for six minutes. It is common for the noise level to be greater when the antenna is actively tracking the satellite compared to when the antenna is in standby mode. After six minutes of no movement, the satellite system will stop tracking and go into standby mode. Standby During standby, the antenna will remain locked onto the required satellite. The satellite system will be completely silent during this mode except when the user initiates a toggle by changing to a channel on a different satellite. In-motion antennas will exit standby and return to tracking if the vehicle begins moving at a speed greater than ten miles per hour. When the antenna changes from standby to tracking, there may be a slight interruption in signal. Automatic Toggling Winegard roof-mounted satellite TV systems will look at one satellite at a time. If a satellite provider has programming spread across multiple satellites, the antenna may have to move to a look at a different satellite in order to access the desired channel. This is done automatically as the user changes channels and is often referred to as automatic toggling. Toggling takes less than two seconds and typically does not interrupt viewing. Automatic toggling is controlled by the receiver that is connected to the main coax port on the base. Any other receivers (or DVRs with multiple tuners) will only be able to view channels on the same satellite as the receiver connected to the main port. If experiencing issues with the antenna, there are two main functions of the antenna to troubleshoot, mechanical operation and signal acquisition. Mechanical operation refers to the unit receiving proper power and mechanically completing all necessary steps for operation. If the antenna does not demonstrate any issues with moving or searching, then troubleshooting would most likely deal with the second function, signal acquisition. Signal acquisition refers to the antenna receiving signal and delivering the signal to the receiver; this function often deals with coax wiring and receiver setup. Roof-Mounted Dome Antennas 62

18 Dome Antennas Troubleshooting If the antenna does not move, measure voltage on the black power plug on the side of the electronics board (see fig. 5.19). Mechanical Operation Issues Antenna Does Not Move If the RoadTrip, Carryout G2 or G2+ antenna does not move at all, check for proper connection to a 12 VDC power source. Measure voltage on the black power plug on the electronics board to ensure that 12 VDC is being supplied to the unit (see fig. 5.19). At times, the antenna may require up to five amps of current; if using a power converter, make sure the converter is rated for such usage. If using a Pathway X1 antenna, check coax connections. Note: Carryout G2+ uses a power inserter; check for power. Also, check the fuse or circuit breaker on the electronic board. FIGURE Black power plug on electronics board inside housing Antenna Does Not Rotate Properly If the antenna powers on but does not rotate or home properly, check all connections and cabling to the main electronics board. If the two motor connections and GPS connection (on in-motion antennas only) are not properly connected, the antenna may not be able to rotate and search correctly. Signal Acquisition Issues Antenna Never Pauses on Signal If the antenna constantly searches without ever pausing on a signal, this typically indicates that the LNB is not receiving power. The LNB is powered by the satellite receiver, which outputs VDC to the Satellite In port. If the antenna never pauses on a signal, complete the following steps: a. Check for voltage on the coaxial connections to the LNB; if voltage is not present, trace down from the LNB to the receiver, checking for voltage at all connections. b. Check that incompatible devices (e.g. video switches, splitters) are not installed between the antenna and receiver. Try running a known good coax cable directly from the electronics board to the receiver. c. Check that there are not obstructions preventing signal acquisition. d. Make sure the receiver is compatible with the antenna. e. Try a bypass coax from dome to receiver. 63 Roof-Mounted Dome Antennas

19 Dome Antennas Troubleshooting Antenna Seems to Find Signal but No Signal on Receiver If the antenna appears to find signal and be pointed to the South but there is no signal on the receiver, complete the following steps to troubleshoot the issue: a. Check information inputted during receiver setup to ensure that the receiver is configured for the antenna. b. Check dipswitch settings to ensure that the RoadTrip, Carryout G2 or G2+ antenna is programmed for the correct programming provider. c. Check for voltage at the LNB. Some RoadTrip antennas can locate a signal without receiving power from the receiver; however, after signal acquisition RoadTrip antennas must receive power from the receiver in order to power the LNB and continue to deliver signal. d. Try a different receiver. Satellite receivers can be faulty, and a new receiver may resolve the issue. Make sure the receiver is receiving proper power, and if possible, plug in to connection with known good AC power. Also, check that the receiver has sufficient ventilation to allow for cooling; an overheated receiver may not function correctly until cooling down. e. Make sure the receiver is compatible with RoadTrip antennas.

Possible obstructions are blocking signal from the satellite Check to see if the southern sky is clear. Trees, buildings, large signs, or an overpass can block the signal Rain, snow, or excessive dew on the dome can interrupt the signal. Brush any snow or dew off of the dome. If heavy rain or snowfall is blocking the signal, it may be necessary to wait until the weather clears. The antenna appears to lock onto signal, but my receiver does not show a picture or signal reading Receiver improperly configured for the Carryout G2+ antenna Verify the switch settings are set correctly for the desired provider. See switch settings on page 2 Reconfigure the receiver according to steps on page 3 or 4 I have switched satellite service providers, and the antenna is no longer working properly Switches are not set for the correct provider Set the switches to the correct programming provider.

Crank-up Antennas The final type of satellite system offered by Winegard is the crank-up satellite system. These systems use a crank and directional handle to allow the user to point the roof-top satellite from inside the RV. The elevation is determined by counting times it is cranked up or by using a Digital Magic Elevation Sensor. The azimuth is determined by a compass heading and using the directional handle. FIGURE Model RK-2000 roof mount upgrade kit The Digital Magic elevation sensor is always recommended for crank-up satellite dishes. The sensor simplifies the search process and provides the user feedback of the current elevation angle to allow for finding the correct satellite. Roof-Mounted Dome Antennas 66

What Winegard is saying is to not do anything till the antenna has COMPLETELY come to a rest and found the 119 satellite AND completed the program download AND you have at least the 101 channel displayed on the screen AND the unit has stopped grinding and gone to sleep.
