How do I hook up the 12 volt source to my Winegard sensor antenna?

The POWER switch (left-most switch) on this unit actually turns 12VDC on or off to the antenna. It does not turn the main power off to the box which is always on. So if you are replacing your 12V source to the antenna, it is already built-into this box.Of course, you need to wire 12VDC to this box from your RV's battery, but the box takes care of powering the amplifier in the Winegard antenna.

Laura You need to purchase a 12 volt source. I purchased an adapter that plugged into a 125 volt outlet and provided 12 volts. The 12 volt plug from the adapter plugs into the back of the unit. The adapters are available at any store that sells electronics including Amazon.

Now that I've looked at the product, I remember. The wires will hook up as Tinkerguy notes below. Just put the wire into the hole and screw the screw in and it holds the wires firmly. So basically, you just need to strip the end of the wires from your 12V supply bare and put them in.

Look for the arm wire on the diagram,it should tell you what wire has power when active,an not you take it from there? Good Luck!

The unit comes with the sensor only (with wires) . You will need to wire the 110V conection and the output.I used it to control an external relay to prevent damage to the internal one (can handle 10A max)

Install the amplifier box at the antenna pole, connect the antenna to the input of the box, connect one end of the 25ft cable to the output port of the box and the other end to the power supply unit of what you purchased. The other connector in the power supply unit should connect to your TV. Now plug the power cord of the power supply unit into the wall outlet to finish the setup.

Try going to antennaweb.org you can enter your address and find out exactly what type of antenna to use, how far your broadcast stations are, which and how many channels you should receive. An outdoor antenna whether in an attic or behind any wall in your home will lose 1/3 or more of its power. Does your leaf antenna have an amp already? Too powerful of an amp will hurt your signal also. Typically, the best indoor antennas (those which are powered) will give you stations from 30 miles away. Any farther, its time to consider an outdoor model. Don't fall for any company claiming to have an antenna capable of getting stations more than 70 miles away. (Curvature of the Earth) I have this pre-amp with a clear stream 4 and get about 40 channels that are non-repeats and 73 channels all together. This is a great pre-amp. Consider a Flatwave powered outdoor antenna from winegard , checkout any of their products on winegard.com you can find them at Home Depot for about a $100. (There probably on Amazon too.) Winegard is the Mercedes-Benz of antennas, you can't go wrong with them.

The antenna is not great and there may be feedback to damage the output transistor on 7w. Get a dipole online and then go to 7w.

I have no experience with the Winegard unit. As for the power supplies: Do they both output the same exact volts and amps? I would doubt it. I would use the Titan power supply and see what happens.

The kit comes with a wiring harness that can be adapted to any 12 volt source. The plug you see is for power to the h.I.d. ballast

As a test, if you connect a TV directly to the antenna cable close to where you plan install the Winegard amp, and you get all the channels you want, then you don't need an antenna preamp or any other booster unless your cable runs are extremely long. If the cable runs are long, you would need an amplifier in the long cable run. Any antenna preamp should be mounted right on the antenna to get the best results.

Just 120 V input. You may be able to get an adapter separately that would work. I'd check for options that are online.

that is for the receiving amplifier, hook up to 12v positive source with a switch so you turn it on and off, when it is on it pulls in the weaker stations. i live out in a rural area so i use it and it works

better call winegard-to technical,but I will tell you that I double stacked the winegard on top in one direction and a larger rca antenna just below it in the other direction tied together with a winegard coupler,works well and don't have to rotate the antenna, got 22 clear channels. no cable or sattelite!

I did the exact same switched but used the Titan power unit. Even using the same power unit, the Titan gave me less channels than the Winegard. I believe that it is faulty electronics within the unit. The unit uses older electronics technology, but according to my husband it is still good. However, there are coils inside the unit. If one of the coils are a half turn off (either too much or too little) it will throw off the units ability to pick up signals. I do not think you did anything wrong. I have read previous reviews and try all of the suggestions and even did the troubleshooting from Channel Master to no avail. It is just faulty.

The amp proved to cut out open air channels. I use a Winegard antenna mounted outside the home and a streaming Roku box for all my t.v. needs. Originally I had three digital converter boxes; then later three flat screens. All three hook ups with co-ax (longest tee'd in runs about 50' away) work just fine with reception NOT using the Winegard amp. The amp just sits in a drawer in a zip lock baggie. Your situation might be different; I'll sell you mine VERY reasonable; make me an offer. dann_subs@hotmail.com

The Winegard FM antenna that I have has two screws with wing nuts. if you wanted to use coax on this antenna you will need a 300 ohm to 75 ohm transformer. I used 300 ohm lead-in cable myself.

There is a standard usb port on the back of the radio. Run the wire during the install and leave it.
