PREPARE THE ROOF
Use utility knife, cut out shingles from template you traced. Do not cut
bottom most shingle layer. Caution: When using utility knife, always
keep knife-edge pointed away from your body. Use pry bar to carefully
lift shingles surrounding the opening. Remove nails that prevent
CommDeck from sliding into place. After trimming shingles, drill 1"
hole along side truss to allow wire to pass through the roof deck.
(Refer to fig. 7) Caution: when drilling do not drill through rafter or
truss.
FINAL ASSEMBLY
Select hole pattern, use either large dish hole pattern ( 4 outside holes) or small dish hole pattern(4 Inside
holes). Insert rubber plugs provided into unused holes on cover to prevent water intrusion.
(Refer to fig 9) Peel off backing to expose adhesive on foam gasket. Center, and attach to inside cover.
(Refer to fig. 10) Next, fasten assembly label to the underside of the lid. Avoid covering any holes with the
label. Continue to follow directions on Assembly Label to complete CommDeck installation or continue to
mount dish. (Refer to fig. 11)
PRE-WIRING RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended to use a minimum of (4) RG-6
coax cables and (1) ground wire when installing the
CommDeck. Home run cables between the
commDeck and central power location or Video
distribution network. Leave a minimum of 6' of cable
at both ends to complete installation. Refer to all NEC
Codes for grounding requirements for your install.

Slide CommDeck into place. Top of flashing should seat
underneath shingles. (Refer to fig. 8) Lift the shingles to
expose the predrilled holes in the flashing. Install one
trusshead screw and neoprene washer in each of the (7)
predrilled holes. Finish by applying roof cement under the
shingles that contact the flashing.
