The following are some of the key areas we suggest
you check which generally solve the most common
problems encountered with the operation of the
Status antenna.
Coaxial Connections
It is critical that all connections in the system are
fitted correctly and only quality plugs have been
used.
Coaxial Cable
Sharp bends, kinks and hot surfaces can easily damage
coaxial cable and should be avoided. Coaxial cable,
if placed in close proximity to electrical cables,
transformers or other pieces of electrical equipment,
may pick up electrical interference causing picture
quality to deteriorate, especially in poor reception
areas. Excess cable should be removed and NOT
coiled as this may cause picture distortion. An
inspection of the routing of the cable is highly
recommended to ensure all is correct.
Gain Control
In normal use the button should be rotated
clockwise for maximum. In strong signal areas the
amplification may need to be reduced. To reduce
amplification rotate the button anti-clockwise
until picture quality improves. The button rotates
through 270 degrees from MAX to MIN.
LED Light
Should the LED on the Amplifier not light, firstly
check there is power to the unit. Secondly check the
polarity is correct. Otherwise contact ourselves for
further assistance.
Short Hook Up - Test 1
This test isolates the wiring from the Amplifier
through to your TV/Radio points.
Unplug the coaxial plugs from the ‘TV’ sockets of
the Amplifier and using your TV fly lead with
Convertor 1 supplied. Connect your TV to the
Amplifier.
Please ensure the Antenna Dome is plugged directly
into the ‘ANT-IN’ socket of the Amplifier and switch
on. Tune in your TV for the strongest signal.
If the picture quality improves the fault lies with the
wiring of the system between the Amplifier and the
TV outlet socket.
Short Hook Up - Test 2
This test isolates the Amplifier by connecting your
TV direct to the Antenna.
Fault Finding
MAINTENANCE
Gaiter
We suggest you periodically check the gaiter for
any signs of damage or for wear.
If the rubber is caught by overhead obstructions it
may rip or tear which would allow water to work
its way into the fabric of the roof.
Over an extended period of time the gaiter will
wear at the contact area with the mast. Should the
gaiter begin to fail the signs will be small amounts
of water dripping down the outside of the mast,
however, the design of the Gaiter and Mounting
Foot ensures that water cannot work its way into
the fabric of the roof. Should this problem occur
contact ourselves for a replacement unit.
Spares & Repairs
Should you require any parts for replacements
or repair please log on to www.gradeuk.co.uk or

Antenna Dome Co-axial Cable
Check the routing of the coaxial cable from the
Antenna Dome to the Amplifier. Check to ensure
there are no kinks or trapped cable or if there are
loops of surplus cable which could be affecting
performance.
Customer Help Line
Should you still be experiencing difficulties and
require assistance, please do not hesitate to
contact us at the address below.
You must ensure that there is sufficient
strength in the roof structure to support the

• WiththeAntennasetforverticalsignals
To reduce the possibility of damage when
travelling, have the antenna pointing towards
the rear of your caravan/motor home.
Routing Coaxial Cable
Coaxial Cable is quite fragile and must be
handled with care. Please comply with the
following as failure to do so will severely affect
performance.
1. Do not crush, kink or over-bend the coaxial
cable which has a minimum bend radius of
25mm.
2. Any excess cable should be removed and
MUST NOT be coiled.
3. Avoid increasing the number of
connections or breaks in the coaxial
cable as they will reduce performance,
especially in weak signal areas.
4. Do not run coaxial cable next to mains
cable, leave a minimum distance of
120mm to prevent interference.
5. Do not allow the cable to come into
contact with any hot surfaces as this could
melt the insulation of the cable.
6. Keep away from fluorescent lighting.
7. Do not add excessive lengths of coaxial
cable, this will result in increased signal
losses and a reduction in picture quality.
8. Should the cable need to be lengthened,
use high quality cable and connectors
which are available from our Vision
Plus Range through our dealers or directly
from ourselves at www.gradeuk.co.uk.

1. Insert the driveshaft into the gearbox and
turn the handle anti-clockwise until the
gearbox has rotated through 900and
is vertical. Now remove the driveshaft.
ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
2. Whilst feeding through the coaxial cable,
lower the mast onto the gearbox and
gently over the three O-rings with a
twisting motion, being careful not to
trap or damage the O-rings. If necessary
use a soapy water solution as a lubricant
(DO NOT use anything oil based).
3. Secure the mast with the M5 bolt using
the Allan key supplied.
5. Now slide the whole
assembly down the
mast ensuring the
drive shaft locates in
the gearbox and the
‘H’ indicator is centred
in the window.
6. Once in place secure
with the M5 bolt
using the Allan key
supplied
VERY IMPORTANT –
When fitting the two
M5 bolts, the heads
must be flush with the

When positioning the Antenna & Mast, please
consider the following:-
1. Position in a suitable wardrobe or locker,
away from the edge of the roofline to
reduce the possibility of damage when
travelling.
2. Ensure there is sufficient space to allow
the mast to fully retract.
3. The mast needs to mount against a wall
for fixing of the Wall Bracket.
4. Ensure there are no obstructions on the
roof that would obstruct either the
lowering or rotation of the antenna.
5. Wherever possible, mount on the offside
of the vehicle to reduce the possibility of
collision with overhead obstructions.
6. You must ensure there is enough space
for the mast to retract fully and for the
location of the Amplifier.
7. Position so the Antenna Dome is not
shielded from incoming TV signals when
raised.
8. Check there are no electrical cabl es
before drilling the mounting hole.
Fitting
You must ensure that there is sufficient
strength in the roof structure to support the
antenna and mast.
To give extra stability and a professional finish
an Antenna Blanking Plate is available should
the antenna you’re replacing have a larger
footprint.
1. Using the enclosed Template against the
ceiling, position the centre of the hole for
the mast 50mm from the wall and drill a
50mm diameter hole. It is crucial that the
mast runs VERTICAL through the roof.
The Amplifier
Positioning & Fitting
1. Locate the Amplifier in the wardrobe or
locker close to the ceiling, adjacent the
mast, where it is easily accessible.
2. Fix in place using the two 38mm screws
Power Supply
1. The Amplifier requires a 12-24 volt power
supply from a fused auxiliary outlet fed
from the battery. If wiring direct to a battery
we recommend an in-line fuse (max 5 amp)
on the positive wire. If unsure please consult
with a qualified installer.

seal and is not recommended for long term use.
3. Switch ON the Amplifier and the LED will
illuminate and check the gain is set to MIN
by rotating the button anti-clockwise.
4. Rotate the antenna.
RED – Poor signal - keep turning.
YELLOW – getting better - slow down.
GREEN – Signals located, ready to GO.
5. If there’s no GREEN increase the Gain and
repeat the 360 degree rotation.
6. Once the transmitter has been located
increase the Gain to MAX.
7. Turn on your television set and tune in.
This will be necessary at all new locations.
8. Secure the Antenna by hand tightening the
Mast Locking Collar and Wall Bracket.
IMPORTANT
You may detect more than one transmitter.

RETAIL
The following are some of the key areas we suggest
you check which generally solve the most common
problems encountered with the operation of the
Status antenna.
Coaxial Connections
It is critical that all connections in the system are
fitted correctly and only quality plugs have been
used.
Coaxial Cable
Sharp bends, kinks and hot surfaces can easily damage
coaxial cable and should be avoided. Coaxial cable,
if placed in close proximity to electrical cables,
transformers or other pieces of electrical equipment,
may pick up electrical interference causing picture
quality to deteriorate, especially in poor reception
areas. Excess cable should be removed and NOT
coiled as this may cause picture distortion. An
inspection of the routing of the cable is highly
recommended to ensure all is correct.
Gain Control
In normal use the button should be rotated
clockwise for maximum. In strong signal areas the
amplification may need to be reduced. To reduce
amplification rotate the button anti-clockwise
until picture quality improves. The button rotates
through 270 degrees from MAX to MIN.
LED Light
Should the LED on the Amplifier not light, firstly
check there is power to the unit. Secondly check the
polarity is correct. Otherwise contact ourselves for
further assistance.
Short Hook Up - Test 1
This test isolates the wiring from the Amplifier
through to your TV/Radio points.
Unplug the coaxial plugs from the ‘TV’ sockets of
the Amplifier and using your TV fly lead with
Convertor 1 supplied. Connect your TV to the
Amplifier.
Please ensure the Antenna Dome is plugged directly
into the ‘ANT-IN’ socket of the Amplifier and switch
on. Tune in your TV for the strongest signal.
If the picture quality improves the fault lies with the
wiring of the system between the Amplifier and the
TV outlet socket.
Short Hook Up - Test 2
This test isolates the Amplifier by connecting your
TV direct to the Antenna.
Fault Finding
MAINTENANCE
Gaiter
We suggest you periodically check the gaiter for
any signs of damage or for wear.
If the rubber is caught by overhead obstructions it
may rip or tear which would allow water to work
its way into the fabric of the roof.
Over an extended period of time the gaiter will
wear at the contact area with the mast. Should the
gaiter begin to fail the signs will be small amounts
of water dripping down the outside of the mast,
however, the design of the Gaiter and Mounting
Foot ensures that water cannot work its way into
the fabric of the roof. Should this problem occur
contact ourselves for a replacement unit.

Antenna Dome Co-axial Cable
Check the routing of the coaxial cable from the
Antenna Dome to the Amplifier. Check to ensure
there are no kinks or trapped cable or if there are
loops of surplus cable which could be affecting
performance.
Customer Help Line
Should you still be experiencing difficulties and
require assistance, please do not hesitate to
contact us at the address below.
You must ensure that there is sufficient
strength in the roof structure to support the
antenna and mast.
Travelling
When positioning the Antenna Dome please
allow for the following:-
DO NOT TRAVEL:-
• WiththeAntennaraised
• WiththeAntennasetforverticalsignals
To reduce the possibility of damage when
travelling, have the antenna pointing towards
the rear of your caravan/motor home.
Routing Coaxial Cable
Coaxial Cable is quite fragile and must be
handled with care. Please comply with the
following as failure to do so will severely affect
performance.
1. Do not crush, kink or over-bend the coaxial
cable which has a minimum bend radius of
25mm.
2. Any excess cable should be removed and
MUST NOT be coiled.
3. Avoid increasing the number of
connections or breaks in the coaxial
cable as they will reduce performance,
especially in weak signal areas.
4. Do not run coaxial cable next to mains
cable, leave a minimum distance of
120mm to prevent interference.
5. Do not allow the cable to come into
contact with any hot surfaces as this could
melt the insulation of the cable.
6. Keep away from fluorescent lighting.
7. Do not add excessive lengths of coaxial
cable, this will result in increased signal
losses and a reduction in picture quality.
8. Should the cable need to be lengthened,
use high quality cable and connectors
which are available from our Vision
Plus Range through our dealers or directly
from ourselves at www.gradeuk.co.uk.

The following are some of the key areas we suggest
you check which generally solve the most common
problems encountered with the operation of the
Status antenna.
Coaxial Connections
It is critical that all connections in the system are
fitted correctly and only quality plugs have been
used.
Coaxial Cable
Sharp bends, kinks and hot surfaces can easily damage
coaxial cable and should be avoided. Coaxial cable,
if placed in close proximity to electrical cables,
transformers or other pieces of electrical equipment,
may pick up electrical interference causing picture
quality to deteriorate, especially in poor reception
areas. Excess cable should be removed and NOT
coiled as this may cause picture distortion. An
inspection of the routing of the cable is highly
recommended to ensure all is correct.
Gain Control
In normal use the button should be rotated
clockwise for maximum. In strong signal areas the
amplification may need to be reduced. To reduce
amplification rotate the button anti-clockwise
until picture quality improves. The button rotates
through 270 degrees from MAX to MIN.
LED Light
Should the LED on the Amplifier not light, firstly
check there is power to the unit. Secondly check the
polarity is correct. Otherwise contact ourselves for
further assistance.
Short Hook Up - Test 1
This test isolates the wiring from the Amplifier
through to your TV/Radio points.
Unplug the coaxial plugs from the ‘TV’ sockets of
the Amplifier and using your TV fly lead with
Convertor 1 supplied. Connect your TV to the
Amplifier.
Please ensure the Antenna Dome is plugged directly
into the ‘ANT-IN’ socket of the Amplifier and switch
on. Tune in your TV for the strongest signal.
If the picture quality improves the fault lies with the
wiring of the system between the Amplifier and the
TV outlet socket.
Short Hook Up - Test 2
This test isolates the Amplifier by connecting your
TV direct to the Antenna.
Fault Finding
MAINTENANCE
Gaiter
We suggest you periodically check the gaiter for
any signs of damage or for wear.
If the rubber is caught by overhead obstructions it
may rip or tear which would allow water to work
its way into the fabric of the roof.
Over an extended period of time the gaiter will
wear at the contact area with the mast. Should the
gaiter begin to fail the signs will be small amounts
of water dripping down the outside of the mast,
however, the design of the Gaiter and Mounting
Foot ensures that water cannot work its way into
the fabric of the roof. Should this problem occur
contact ourselves for a replacement unit.
