Installing the Outdoor Drive

Unit

Step 1: Attach cable to the drive unit

1. Run cable (not included) to the drive unit.

IMPORTANT: Up to 280’ (84m) of 20AWG 3

conductor cable may be used. For longer runs, use heavier

gauge wire.

2. Unscrew the single screw on the bottom door. Swing

the door open.

3. Remove the grommet and insert the cable thru the

slot. Press the grommet back into the housing.

4. Separate leads for 1.5”(4cm) and strip off the

insulation for 0.5”.

Step 2: Mount the drive unit

If you’re not mounting the unit inside a tower, you’ll

need to mount it to a separate mast (not included). This

kit comes with the necessary hardware for mounting.

CAUTION: Select a mounting location where the

antenna cannot come in contact with power lines while it

is being installed, and where the installation will not fall

across power lines if a guy wire should fail.

1. Screw the 4 threaded inserts in the four holes in the

side of the drive unit base. One end of each insert

has a slot you will use with a ﬂat-head screwdriver

to make sure the inserts are in as far as they will go.

Make sure you put the opposite end in the drive unit.

Then screw the inserts as far as they will go into the

drive unit.

2. Screw the washerless nuts onto the inserts until they

are snug against the drive unit.

3. Put the largest of the four brackets onto the ends of

the bottom two inserts. Put the nuts with attached

lock washers on the very end of the inserts to keep the

bracket in place.

4. Put one of the other brackets onto the ends of the top

two inserts. Put the nuts with attached lock washers

on the very end of the inserts to keep the bracket in

place.

5. Position the brackets and nuts/washers so that they

leave just enough room for the support mast to go

through.

6. Lower the drive unit onto the support mast until it

stops on the mast nose of the drive housing. Tighten

the nuts. Moderate tightening with a 7/16” wrench

will cause the teeth to grip the mast securely.

5. Find the silver- or wide-jacketed lead and connect it

to terminal 1. Connect the adjacent lead to terminal

2. Connect the third lead to terminal 3. If 4 wire

cable is used, connect both wire 3 and 4 to Terminal

IMPORTANT: Make sure there are no loose strands

which can short between terminals.

6. Doublecheck the wiring order. Close the door and

screw it back into place.
