Winegard uses RG-59 for the short length of cable that comes pre-attached- the reason you need to know that is that the end F connector is different for each type of cable- RG-6 is larger than RG-59. There are only a few things that can go wrong with the Sensar and by far the most common is a problem with the coaxial cable, there are generally 2 types of coax used for Television signals, RG-6 or RG-59. Electrical Tune-up (and Coax cable repair)Īs I have often said- the Winegard Sensar is an excellent antenna (here at our shop, they outperform a large 12 foot multi-element “deep-fringe” antenna we had, which was much higher than the Sensars). Simply praying the gears and base with silicone lube will eliminate the “chunka-chunka-chunka” that you sometimes get when lowering the antenna, and keep the washers that provide the seal intact- protecting you from leaks. The reasons for this are two fold- if you have an EPDM (rubber) roof, you don’t want the petroeum getting on the membrane, and the worm gear that elevates the Sensar uses an EPDM set of washers to seal out water… using a petroleum based lube will destroy this set of washers, resulting in leaks. You want to use a pure silicone spray lube to do this… not WD-40 or any lubricant that contains petroleum products!

These pictures are from the Sensar owners manual, which you can download from – if you don’t have a copy, download, print and read the manual…. This should be done on a fairly regular schedule- a good time to do this is on a twice yearly inspection of the roof sealant (you do need to get on the roof to do this…. The first item to cover is regular maintenance- something everyone should be doing, whether you have problems or not.
