Introduction

Congratulations! You have purchased one of

Winegard’s latest developments in the mobile satel-

lite reception product line —the Movin’ViewTM.

This system, used with your digital satellite receiver,

will deliver the best reception possible using GPS

(Global Positioning System) and precision gyro-

scopes.

How Does Digital Satellite

TVWork?

Satellite programming originates from an “uplink”

facility on Earth — the facility receives many signals

from different sources, combines the signals digitally

and transmits to the satellites. The satellites (22,300

miles above Earth) receive the uplink signal, amplify

it and then transmit it back to earth in the

Ku frequency band. This signal

is concentrated and reflected to

the LNBF* located at the “focal

point” of the dish. The LNBF

amplifies and converts the signal to

the 950 to 2050 MHz range. The signal

is then passed through a coaxial cable

to the receiver where individual chan-

nel selection and processing take

place.

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.

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

blocking the satellite “line of sight.”

• 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.

3. Remove screws holding dome to base and remove

dome. Place dome in safe spot to avoid damage. Place

base on vehicle roof in the location selected.

4. Remove wire ties used for shipping. There are

three; one on each side of the reflector and one at the

the rear of the reflector holding down the counter-

weight. See Figure 1, page 4.

DIRECTLY OFF REAR OF VEHICLE,

Figure 1. There is a 30 foot power cord and 30

foot coax cable going through the Heyco®con-

nectors on the base.

Placing the rear base bracket on the centerline,

facing the rear of the vehicle, will center the unit.

8. Using the chart,

determine the

minimum distances to

other equipment.

Measure these

distances as

demonstrated in Figure 3.

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.

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.)

FIGURE 4

FIGURE 5

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 page 8).

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! Tighten Heyco connectors when done.

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.

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.

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.

Initializing & replacing the dome after

connecting the receiver(s) —

1. Be sure vehicle is in a location free of all obstruc-

tions and with a clear view of the satellite.

2. DO NOT MOVE VEHICLE during the first initial-

ization. Power up unit, turn on receiver. FOR THE

FIRST TIME ONLY, the unit may take up to 10 min-

utes to initially find the satellite signal. The GPS is

also initializing at this time. After the GPS initializes,

the unit will begin searching for the correct satellite.

3. If the GPS does not initialize at this time, turn off

the unit. You may need to move the GPS antenna to a

different location on your roof. After you move the

GPS, DO NOT SECURE TO ROOF.

4. TEST YOUR SYSTEM BEFORE SECURING

THE GPS ANTENNA. Make sure the TV/receiver

have the correct satellite.

5. After the correct satellite has been found, secure

GPS antenna by removing adhesive backing and se-

curing to roof.

6. Install dome. NOTE: After Heyco conmectors are

tightened, apply bead of silicone around the connec-

tor where the exterior hex nut touches the base and

around the cables where they enter the Heyco on the

exterior of the unit. See drawing below. If second

receiver is not used, apply silicone to seal center hole

of third Heyco. See drawing below.

8. Before inserting screws on sides of dome, apply

silicone to ENTIRE oval slot in gasket AND to screw

threads, then insert screws and tighten. See drawing.

Connecting two receivers

1. Connect the coax cable coming from the MV-0500

to the “ SATELLITE IN” input on the primary re-

ceiver. The primary receiver is the reciever used most

often.

2. Run a second cable through the empty Heyco open-

ing and connect to the ground block-type feed through

and connect the other end of this cable to “Satellite

IN” input on the second receiver.

Operation

Yournew MV-0500 features:

• GPS technology

• Fast signal acquisition times

• Easy “one-button” operation

• Ability to toggle between satellites using

remote control, if subscribing to multi-

satellite programming

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 power switch to ON posi-

tion.

3. Allow up to 3 minutes for signal location. Sat-

ellite signal acquisition will occur with normal

operating conditions.

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.

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.

• Low maintenance

• Compatible with continental U.S. digital satel

lite receivers

• Winegard warranty

To operate your system —

To toggle between satellites when subscribing to multi-satellite programming—

The MV-0500 will toggle between two different

satellites. Both DIRECTV and DISH Network

have programming on more than one satellite.

When a channel is selected on the remote control

and it is not located on the satellite the unit is

currently on, the system on the vehicle will auto-

matically move to the new satellite.

DIRECTV programming

1. There is NO SETUP required for DIRECTV.

When you request a channel located on a differ-

ent satellite, the unit will automatically move to

that satellite.

DISH Network programming

NOTE: This must be a DISH 500 system. These steps

must be done each time the receiver loses 110 VAC

power.

1. Let unit acquire the satellite signal on satellite 119.

2. After signal has been acquired, press the MENU key on

the remote control or receiver.

3. Go into the SYSTEM SETUP menu.

4. Go into the INSTALLATION menu.

5. Go into the MULTI-DISH installation.

6. Scroll down to the CHECK SWITCH button and select.

7. The receiver will verify that you want to perform a

“Check switch.” Select CHECK.

8. The receiver will begin checking your switch by tog-

gling between transponders. When this is completed, a

message stating “satellite reception is verified” will show.

When it does, select OKAY. If this message does not ap-

pear, repeat steps 1 - 7.

9. Your system is now set up to toggle between satellites.

It will automatically move to correct satellite when chan-

nel is selected.

Signal strength screen meter shows some

signal strength, but constantly moves up and

down, and is never locked on satellite.

Unit continues to move, but never finds any signal.

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.

The unit moves around in circles, then points off

the front of the coach.

the next steps. Voltage must be +12 VDC, except at the

LNBF, see Figure 9, page 11.

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. 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.

7. Are the rotary dip switches in the correct position (101

or 119 or 092)?

8. If the unit still does not have a signal, power off and

power back on.

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.

2. Check your +12 VDC power switch. Make

sure it is in the ON position.

3. Check your connections. The receiver must

be connected to the power and coax connected

from receiver to the satellite dish.

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.

6. Loss of signal may also be caused by snow on

roof of vehicle.

NOTE: The power rocker switch must be ON for

Check your power voltage. You may have dirty

power. You must have a minimum of +12 VDC.

Make sure receiver is on and connected properly.

Check rotary dip switches for correct setting. (i.e.

DISH network 119°, DIRECTV 101°, etc.).

PROBLEM SOLUTION

Be sure the switches are set on the correct numbers —

see page 5, step 5.

The GPS is not acquiring a signal.
