Installation Trouble Shooting Guide for TV antennas V9125-V9112-V9150-V9126
Where I best to install my new Glomex Antenna?
Your antenna should be mounted free and clear of any obstruction and as high as possible.
If I mount it on a radar arch, will the array interfere with the reception?
Yes and on the other way around. Make sure that the Glomex dome is either above or bellow
the radar array and never on the same "plane" as the array.
What cable should I use?
It is important to use only RG6 Twin Screen low loss cable.
We recommend that you use only a DSS quality cable.
How can I tell if a cable is either low loss or not?
A high quality low loss cable will have a white foam center insulator
where a lower grade of cable will be opaque and solid.
What type of connector should I use?
Use only "F" gold connectors for TV wire 6.8 mm or a wire with the same diameter of the used one.
How do I get the "F" connector into the base of the antenna?
Included in your Glomex Marine TV Antenna package is a flack plastictool; this tool is designed to slide
over the coax and grip the connector so it maybe twisted on.
Where should the amplifier be installed?
The amplifier should be installed in a dry well ventilated place that provides easy access
to the gain A/B switch built into the unit.
What if I don't want to cut my bulkhead to install the amplifier?
Included in your package there is black bulkheads mount to install that will accommodate the amplifier,
you will still need to drill a hole to accommodate the entry of the coax connections.
What power supply will need to power my amplifier?
You can use either a12 V dc or you can purchase the V9117 220 V dc power adapter.
Is there any difference between powering with 12 Volt or 220 V?
It depends upon the model you purchase: V9125TV – 1 TV set V9112 – 2 TV sets
(up to 4 sets if no cable length exceeds 15 feet), V9150 – 6 TV sets.
Is it possible to connect an AM/FM radio to my Glomex TV antenna?
Yes, by installing a TV/AM/FM splitter.
Can the Glomex TV antenna be damaged by lighting?
No because of its unique design and no active parts in the dome; so it won't attracted it.
Anyway, if it fall down very close to the boat it might damage it.
My antenna is experiencing a lot of "ghosting".
Check and make sure that it is not mounted on a flat metal surface as this will cause reflection of the signal
and thus "ghosting", or move the antenna through the remote control to attenuate the reflexions.
In a sailing boat, is the masthead the only place where I can mount the antenna?
It is the best place to install it. Make sure you use a Glomex V9173TV masthead bracket for your installation.
I have installed the antenna and I don't get the local station. What should I do?
First, gather a list of the broadcasting station that you should receive in that area. Next, pick a channel,
move the antenna through the remote control and regulate the gain to get the best images. If you use a Digital
Terrestrial Decoder go to menu, select signal research and move the antenna up to get a good quality signal.
Why do I have to adjust the gain control?
In the marine you have many different factors affecting your reception. If you are very close to a broadcast
tower you will need less gain if any. The further you are from the tower, the more gain you will need.
In marina with a lot of sailboats and larger yachts, you will have a lot of signal reflections and you will have
the ability to adjust the gain accordingly.
I can see no difference in the picture when I adjust the gain control.
Check and make sure you have power going to amplifier,
(check your electrical panel and make sure the proper breaker is ON).
I still getting a lot of interferences in my pictures and I have adjusted the gain control accordingly.
Go around your boat and check the connections you have installed.
Make sure you have connected the connectors properly.
How do I tell if I have installed a connector properly?
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
Make sure that the central conductor is long enough to insert into the connector on the TV or amplifier.
Also check and make sure there is no shield touching the center connector in the cable.
If there is a "short" you will see a see a strand touching the center wire.
I receive the pictures on the TV from the antenna but I cannot get
my VCR / shore connection / Satellite to display on my TV.
Make sure that the TV is set on the proper channel (UHF OR VHF) or video input line; furthermore check out
there is not a thread touching the wire. Secondly, in case of the V9112 is in the "shore" position in the case
of the V9112/SR (for Sea Ray owners) making sure the gain control is the "shore" position.
I have a sailboat but my coax is not long enough to reach the point that I want to install my amplifier.
You may connect an extension to the coax by using an F 75-Ohm connector. For every connection you put on line,
you lose gain and thus degrade your reception. This holds true even with the proper connectors. We strongly
recommend that you run a new coax that is the proper length. It may be more work but well worth it.
I have decided to use the optional Glomex bulkhead mount but the coax fits tightly into the box.
Is there a way to install this so the coax is not strained?
It is recommended that 90° F connectors be attached to the amplifier, than the coax installed
to the angle connectors.
I have a large number of TV and I cannot get good pictures.
If you have more than 2 TV you should be using an inline amplifier to boast the signal through the boat. If you have
a Glomex 50023 amplifier you should not run more than 2 TV's without the Glomex 50022/00 inline amplifier.
Also, keep in mind you should not have cable runs longer then 15 ft from the amplifier if you have an extra TV.
Questions-Réponses concernant l'antennes V9125-V9112-V9150-V9126
Quel est le meilleur emplacement pour mon antenne TV?
Votre antenne TV doit être éloignée de tout obstacle plat ou métallique et positionnée le plus haut possible.
Si je l'installe proche d'un radar, vais-je avoir des problèmes de réception TV?
Oui, et vice versa. Toujours s'assurer de ne pas aligner l'antenne TV et le radar sur le même plan horizontal.
Positionner l'antenne TV au dessus ou en dessous du radar mais jamais à coté.
Quel câble dois-je utiliser?
Il est important d'utiliser uniquement du câble RG6 faible perte.
Comment plus-je reconnaître un câble faible perte?
Un câble faible perte de bonne qualité a une mousse blanche isolante au centre du câble.
Alors qu'un câble de moindre qualité a un isolant opaque.
Quel type de connecteurs dois-je utiliser?
Utilisez un connecteur de type « F », de préférence plaqué or pour une meilleure connexion.
Comment puis-je brancher le connecteur « F » dans l'embase de l'antenne?
Avec votre antenne Glomex est livré un outil en plastique noir permettant d'y insérer le câble
et de visser le connecteur.
Où dois-je installer l'amplificateur?
L'amplificateur est livré avec un boîtier enjoliveur pour le fixer en saillie.
Vous n'aurez qu'à percer un trou pour le passage des câbles.
Quelle tension d'alimentation est nécessaire pour l'amplificateur?
Vous pouvez connecter votre amplificateur sur le 12V ou 24V ou bien utiliser un adaptateur V9116
pour le 110V (optionnel) o un adaptateur V9117 pour le 220V (optionnel).
Y a-t-il une différence entre l'alimentation en 12V et en 220V?
Il n'y a pas de réelle différence dans la plupart des situations. Cependant quand l'émetteur est très éloigné
de votre antenne TV, l'alimentation en 220V améliore légèrement la réception du signal.
Combien de récepteurs TV puis-je brancher sur une seule antenne TV?
Cela dépend du modèle de l'antenne : V9125 pour 1 TV, V9112 pour 2 TV
(et jusqu'à 4 TV si la longueur des câbles n'excède pas 4.50 m), V9150 pour 6 TV.
Est-il possible de connecter la radio AM/FM sur l'antenne TV?
Qui, en installant un répartiteur TV/AM/FM (optionnel).
