the leveling screw on the mounting foot, flange up.
Place rubber washer, with the rubber side up, on
the nut, Figure 2. Push mounting foot under base.
Push foot screw through the base and tighten lock
nut to secure foot to base. Be sure the base feet are
pointing away from the base. Base feet will be re-
moved later during install.
Install in DRY conditions only!
!
IMPORTANT! Do not install this system
in the rain, or under any wet conditions. Moisture
may affect electronics and void your warranty!
1. For best performance and to reduce signal acquisi-
tion time, park vehicle on a level surface.
FIGURE 2
2. Select a level spot on your roof for installation.
• The unit should be no more than +/-1° off level.
• Be sure no roof-mounted equipment is

• You will need to decide where the wires will enter
the vehicle. A coax and an 18 gauge power wire
will need to be placed in the vehicle. The power
wire will go to the nearest +12 VDC power source;
the coax will be routed through the demulitplexer to
your satellite receiver. These wires should be hidden.

ROOF INSTALLATION, continued
GPS installation —
9. Place the unit on the roof in its permanent location
and mark around the base bracket, Figure 4. (Make
sure the rear adjustable base foot is directly facing
the back of the coach.)
The GPS antenna is pre-wired and has a 3 foot cable
running through one of the Heyco® connectors.
When deciding where to place GPS antenna, DO
NOT SECURE! After wiring the receiver and initializ-
ing your system, you will need to test the system
(“Initializing and replacing dome” on page8).
FIGURE 4
Determine location for GPS antenna. It is recom-
mended you place the GPS antenna between unit base
and side edge of vehicle, 90° from rear mounting
bracket, Figure 6.
The recommended location for the GPS antenna is
based on having a level location and a clear view of
the sky. If another location, further from the base, is
desired, loosen the Heyco connector and pull out addi-
tional wire in the base. You must re-wrap and re-tie
the GPS cable inside the dome to prevent interfer-
ence with the LNBF. Failure to do so will result in
malfunction! Tight Heyco connectors when done.
10. Clean roof area where the base feet will be
attached to the roof. Do not erase your marks!
11. Put approved sealant in the area under the base
feet. Place base foot on top of the sealant and
screw down using (2) #10 screws (provided) for
each base foot.
12. Unscrew the locknuts in the base and remove
the base from feet. Put the other (4) #10 screws
into the roof through the remaining holes in the
base feet.
13. After all base brackets are secured to roof, put
sealant on top of foot and screws. Place base on level-
ing screws located on base feet and install nut and
rubber washer on leveling screw.
IMPORTANT! The GPS must be located away from
obstructions on roof of vehicle and other obstructions
such as trees, tall buildings, etc. You must have a
clear view of the sky for proper operation.

14. Leveling the base is done by tightening or loosen-
ing the flange nut under the base, Figure 5.
Use an electronic level to adjust base so there is no
more than +/- 1° off level in all directions. Place
level on base of unit if possible. (If your level will not
fit inside the base plate, place on outside edge.) Level
front to back and side to side. Raise and lower by ad-
justing flange nut under base. After leveling base,
secure inside base with rubber washer, rubber side
down toward base, and lock nut.

Cable entry installation —
INSTALLATION
1. Decide the location of the power on/off switch. The
switch should be close to both the voltage filter and the
+12 VDC power cable coming from the MV-1111/
MV-2222. Be sure the switch is turned off before you
begin! See diagram at the bottom of this page.
1. Decide the best location for the cables to enter the
vehicle, and the location of the switch and receiver
(see “Installing the switch and receiver” below.) Drill
a 1/2” hole in the roof, push wires inside. Make
proper connections (remember you must have fil-
tered +12 VDC power source).
Wall or panel mount: Drill 1-1/4” hole, pull wires
through wall or panel.
2. Place cable-entry plate over hole and cables. Screw
in place. Seal plate and screw holes with approved
sealant (not included).
Surface mount: Determine location and direction of
box. Mount box feed wire into one of the box openings.
Select plate cover (brown or white provided) and snap the
rocker switch into the switch plate. Be sure switch is off!

2. Connect the +12 VDC power wire and ground wire from
vehicle to the 12 VDC Voltage Filter terminals labeled “IN”.
See diagram. Connect a power wire to the + and - (minus)
terminals labeled “OUT” on the DC Voltage Filter.
3. Depending on the length of the cable on the roof,
you may need to use cable clamps or wire ties (not
provided) between the unit and your cable-entry plate.
Clamping the cable every 12”-16” should eliminate
any unnecessary cable movement, Figure 7.
3. Connect the ground wire from the MV-1111/MV-2222 and
the ground wire coming from the DC Voltage Filter “OUT”
together using large yellow spade connector. (Black wire from
MV unit and ground wire coming from the - (minus) on the
DC Voltage Filter’s “OUT” terminal.) See diagram.

Operation
Your new MV-2222/1111 features:
• GPS technology
• Low maintenance
• Fast signal acquisition times
• Easy “one-button” operation
• Ability to toggle between satellites using
remote control, if subscribing to multi-
satellite programming
• Compatible with continental U.S. digital satel
lite receivers
• Winegard warranty
• MV-2222 features precision gyroscopes
To operate your system —
4. If you do not have a signal after three minutes, be
sure there are no obstacles preventing signal acquisition.
(Trees, hill, buildings or other structures can block the
signal.) Move to an open area so your system can “see”
the satellite signal.
NOTE: For Model MV-1111 vehicle must be parked.
1. Turn on receiver and television set. This unit
will not operate unless receiver is on. Be sure
your TV is turned to channel 3 or 4.
2. Turn your +12VDC tracking power switch to
ON position.
3. Allow up to 3 minutes for signal location. Sat-
ellite signal acquisition will occur with normal
operating conditions. For Model MV-2222, signal
acquisition time is faster if the vehicle is going in a
straight line, or stopped.
5. Signal interruption occurs while traveling when the
line of site to the satellite is blocked. This corrects itself
when blockage is cleared. The amount of time it takes
your TV picture to recover will be dependent on the re-
ceiver model.
6. If you do not have signal, see Troubleshooting, p. 10.
* If vehicle does not move for 6 minutes or more, the
MV-2222 will go to SLEEP MODE. It will remain on the
last selected satellite. Moving vehicle will cancel SLEEP
MODE and unit will resume tracking mode.
NOTE: Acquisition time will be longer if the ve-
hicle has traveled more than 600 miles without the
unit in use. If you have traveled this distance
without using the unit, signal acquisition may
take up to five minutes.
To toggle between satellites when subscribing to multi-satellite programming—
MV-2222 and MV-1111 will toggle between two dif-
ferent satellites. DIRECTV and DISH Network have
programming on more than one satellite.
2. After signal has been acquired, 6 minutes remain to
complete Check Switch test; this 6 minutes will expire
with unit on or off. Consult yDISH Network receiver
manual to perform Check Switch test.
When a channel is selected on the remote control and
it is not located on the satellite currently in use, the
system on the vehicle will automatically move to the
new satellite. (When using multiple receivers, toggling
is controled by the primary receiver.)
3. During the Check Switch Test, the receiver will begin
checking your switch by toggling between transponders.
When this is completed, SW42 will appear on the screen. It
will be at the top of the screen, satellite designations will be
below, showing odd and even transponders. See illustration.
IMPORTANT! Model MV-2222 will not toggle while
vehicle is moving. Toggling can only occur after vehicle
is stopped for six minutes and unit is in sleep mode.
NOTE: If a switch other than SW42 appears, or you have
an X in one the of the boxes below the satellites, repeat
Check Switch steps.
DIRECTV programming
1. There is NO SETUP required for DIRECTV. When
you request a channel located on a different satellite,
the unit will automatically move to that satellite.
SW42
119 119
110 110
ODD EVEN ODD EVEN
DISH Network programming (DISH 500)
NOTE: Once these steps have been completed, you
will not need to perform this test again, unless
check switch was performed on another satellite
dish such as a home dish.
Check Switch screen display
5. Your system is now set up to toggle between
satellites. It will automatically move to the correct
satellite when channel is selected.
1. Wait for unit to acquire the satellite signal on
satellite 119.

Troubleshooting
NOTE: The power rocker switch must be ON for the
next steps. Voltage must be +12 VDC, except at the
LNBF, see #2, Figure 9, page 11.
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A SIGNAL:
1. The signal may be blocked by trees, hills or
structures. Pull into an area where no trees or
buildings are in the line of sight from unit to the
satellites.
6. To check voltage at connections, see Figure 9 on
page 11. FOLLOW THE NUMERICAL SEQUENCE
ON THE DRAWING AND CHECK VOLTAGE AT:
#1. Power Supply.
2. Check your +12 VDC power switch. Make
sure it is in the ON position.
#2. LNBF voltage. Disconnect the coax cable from
the LNBF. Check voltage from the middle wire to
the shield. There should be +12 to +19 VDC. If no
voltage is present, make sure receiver is on and
check for +12 to +19 VDC at ends of gray coax
cable (remove at box junction).
#3. ‘Mini-cable’ connection voltage at Control Box.
#4. Coax cable at Control Box going to
Heyco connector.
3. Check your connections. The receiver must
be connected to the power and coax connected
from receiver to the satellite dish. Check
demultiplexer connection.
4. Check your power supply. The +12 VDC
power supply must be hooked up. Check for +12
VDC on the roof at the connector.
5. Is the rear adjustable base bracket facing the
rear of the vehicle? See Figure 1, page 4.
7. Are the dip switches in the correct position (101 or
119)?
6. Loss of signal may also be caused by snow on
roof of vehicle.
8. If the unit still does not have a signal, power off and
power back on.
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
Signal strength screen meter shows some
signal strength, but constantly moves up and
down, and is never locked on satellite.
Check your power voltage. You may have dirty
power. You must have a minimum of 12 VDC to
power the stacked LNBF. If the LNBF shows no
signal strength, the unit will move and operate, but
you will not be able to lock onto a signal.
Unit continues to move, but never finds any signal.
Have signal strength on the even or odd transpon-
ders, but not on both transponders.
Demultiplexer is not hooked up properly for stacked
IF LNBF system, see page 7-8.
The unit continues to move and the signal strength
screen shows that it is finding the satellites, but will
never lock onto any satellite. Continues to search.
Be sure the switches are set on the correct numbers —
see page 5, step 5.
The GPS is not acquiring a signal.
The unit moves around in circles, then points off
the front of the coach.
Power unit off, then on.
The unit moves in circles and does not find the sat-
ellite, then begins to make grinding noise.
Check switches to make sure they are set correctly.
