Frequently Asked Questions - FAN73B7C-BL Furrion

What types of signals does this antenna support?

The Furrion FAN73B7C-BL supports TV (UHF/VHF), FM, AM, and LTE signals. It is compatible with HDTV standards such as DVB-T, ISDB-T, DTMB, and ATSC.

How do I install the rooftop antenna?

There are two methods: new opening (drill a 2" hole, route cables, and seal) or using an existing opening. In both cases, secure the antenna base with seven screws, attach the TV antenna wing, and connect cables to the ceiling mount bracket.

What power supply is required?

The antenna operates on 9-16 Vdc (12 Vdc typical) with a current consumption of <100 mA. The power supply must be turned off when connecting or disconnecting cables.

How do I perform a channel scan?

After installation, run a channel scan on your TV. This is necessary when moving to a new region or if channels are lost. Steps vary by TV, but typically found in the setup menu.

How do I switch between TV antenna and cable TV?

Use the ON/OFF switch on the wall plate. For antenna, press to turn on (indicator lit); for cable TV, press to turn off (indicator off). The vehicle must be connected to an external cable source for cable TV.

How can I test the power supply?

Disconnect the antenna cable from the power supply jack and check for +12 VDC. If present, the cable between power supply and antenna is faulty. If not, verify the indicator light is on and check polarity of red/white wires and the 12V source.

What is the warranty period?

Furrion offers a 1-year warranty against faults in workmanship and materials. The warranty must be registered within 6 months of delivery.

Is the antenna weatherproof?

Yes, the antenna features a UV-resistant, waterproof housing designed to withstand severe weather conditions. It is made of durable ASA material.

How do I connect the FM/AM antenna?

Connect the white cable from the rooftop unit (FM/AM antenna) to your audio system. The black cable (TV/FM antenna) connects to the power supply wall plate.

What are the FCC compliance requirements?

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to two conditions: (1) it must not cause harmful interference, and (2) it must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Mounting the Antenna

There are two ways of installing the rooftop antenna:

• Method 1 - Making a new opening. In this case the ceiling of the RV must be accessible.
• Method 2 - Using the existing opening in the vehicle roof.

Making a New Opening

1. Select a flat location where there is sufficient area to mount and seal the antenna to the roof surface. Do not install the antenna next to any other device on the rooftop.
2. Mark a basic hole outline on the RV rooftop using the antenna base as a template. (Fig. 1)*

1. Drill a 2" (50mm) circle hole in the RV roof using a hole saw. (Fig. 2)**

Installation

1. Thread the cables of the LTE antenna base through the opening. Put the LTE antenna base over the opening area. (Fig. 3)

NOTE: Make sure the center hole of the LTE antenna is aligned with the hole in the RV roof.

1. Fix the LTE antenna base on the RV roof using seven stainless steel self-tapping screws and tighten using a screwdriver. (Fig. 4) ^***

NOTE: Do not overtighten as damage to the base may occur, which will void the warranty. A screw angle up to 30 degrees is acceptable without damaging the base.

1. Insert the bottom collar of the TV antenna wing into the center hole of the LTE antenna base. (Fig. 5) Make sure the rubber seal on top of the LTE antenna base is in location.

1. Fix the TV antenna wing in the LTE antenna base using the two 4 x 12mm square socket pan head tapping screws provided with the product. (Fig. 6)

Using the Existing Opening

1. Unscrew and remove the old TV antenna from the RV rooftop.
2. Remove all caulking compound around the opening.
3. Insert the bottom collar of the TV antenna wing into the center hole of the antenna base.

NOTE: Make sure the rubber seal on top of the LTE antenna base is in location. (Fig. 8)

1. Fix the TV antenna wing in the base using the two 4 x 12mm square socket pan head tapping screws provided with the product. (Fig. 9)

Installing the Ceiling Mount Bracket

NOTE: It is recommended that you have all the wires connected before permanently installing the ceiling mount bracket onto the rooftop. See 'Wiring Diagram' section on how to connect the wires.

1. Push to remove the top cover of the ceiling mount bracket. (Fig. 13)

1. Follow the wiring guidelines below to connect the cables from the interior of the RV ceiling. See "Wiring Diagram" section for detail. Fix the wires with nylon cable tie. (Fig. 14)

Installation

- LTE Antennas: Connect to the rooftop unit by mapping the same wire color.

- Power Wires: Connect to the RV +12Vdc (current rating >1A) power source. Red is power wire, Black is ground wire.

- Network Wires: Connect to the network interface in the RV.

1. Cover the base of the ceiling mount bracket over the cutout area and secure with eight stainless steel self-tapping screws (not supplied). (Fig. 15)

1. Place back the top cover to the ceiling mount bracket. (Fig. 16)

Mounting the Wall Plate

The wall plate may be flush-mounted in most standard electrical boxes.

1. Select a suitable location that is not susceptible to moisture.
2. Mark and cut a hole in the RV wall.
3. Connect the antenna cables to the wall plate. See 'Wiring Diagram' for detail info.
4. Fix the wall plate in the wall using 2 stainless steel self-tapping screws (not included).

NOTE: The wall plate is sold separately, please contact the dealer for detail.

Connections

Wiring Diagram

Refer to accessories page for planning connections.

WARNING: The wall plate should be turned off while connecting cables.

Connect the cables from the antenna to distribution wall plate and to the FM radio (AM Radio needs to connect the FM/AM antenna from the rooftop unit). Connect the power cables from the distribution wall plate according to the diagram below.

Testing the Power Supply

Make sure your TV set is working properly.

- Disconnect the cable from the antenna jack on the power supply and check for +12VDC. If +12VDC is present, there is a cable problem connecting the power supply to the antenna, repair/replace the cable. If +12VDC is not present at the antenna jack, be sure the indicator light is ON. If not, check the polarity of the red/white wires and the +12VDC source.

Operation

Running a Channel Scan

To receive maximum number of channels, a channel scan is required once the antenna and power supply have been correctly installed and all cables have been properly connected. A new scan might find any new channels that have been added in your area or find any channels that have been changed or moved since the last scan.

NOTE: Antenna reception may vary based on transmitting antenna tower height, lobe pattern of the transmitter, height of the receiving antenna, weather conditions and terrain on receiving path, including trees, buildings and hills. The steps to perform a channel scan may vary between televisions or compatible devices. Always run a channel scan in the following situations:

• Anytime the antenna is moved or enters a new region
  • Anytime a channel is lost.

Selecting TV Antenna Reception

To receive TV antenna reception, press the ON/OFF switch and the power indicator will be lit.*

Selecting Cable TV

NOTE: The vehicle must be connected to an external cable source.

To receive cable TV, press the ON/OFF switch and the power indicator will be turned off.**
