Rayzar® Air Amplified Local HD and Digital Broadcast TV Antenna

Rayzar® Air Amplified Local HD and Digital Broadcast TV Antenna
Introducing the Rayzar Air, Winegard’s next generation in digital
and HD broadcast TV antennas that deliver near Blu-Ray™ quality
programming. With 60 years of unmatched antenna design and
innovation, Winegard is once again leading the way in antenna
technology with this ultra-sleek antenna that rivals our industry
leading Sensar® antenna.
Multi-directional - Optimized to receive UHF TV signals from both the front and back with a wide
view of the antenna head capturing the full UHF spectrum. This doubles possible coverage area and
makes it possible to receive more channels than ever before.
Maximum UHF Reception - Unique element design provides superior UHF gain allowing
greater reception from farther distances. Antenna also receives high band VHF reception.
Ultra-thin and Sleek Design - Rayzar Air not only looks good, it is designed to withstand UV
and harsh weather elements with the same proven durable housing used for Sensar antennas.
In addition to getting the best HD signal, digital HD antennas continue to
be a staple for RVers by providing the ability to watch live local broadcast
programming. Tuning in to local news & weather is important to RVers and
when the programming is FREE, the value is unmatched.
Features and Benefits
Multi-directional
n
Revolutionary antenna design provides multi-directional front/back
coverage area for maximum channel reception in situations where
broadcast towers are geographically spread apart.

TOWER 2
TOWER 3
TOWER 4
• Maximum UHF and high-band VHF reception
n
Antenna is very easy to tune in, requiring minimal aiming
and/or re-pointing.
Designed & Tuned for North American TV Frequencies
n
Receive signals from opposite directions
for unsurpassed UHF coverage.
Unlike most imported antennas, Winegard’s antenna
design experts have optimized the Rayzar Air antenna
reception by tuning it specifically for North American digital
TV frequencies (high-band VHF and UHF channels). This
eliminates interference from other non-TV frequencies (like
radio) to maximize signal reception.

Surface Mount Technology
n
Amplifier is designed and built at Winegard using state-ofthe-art Surface Mount Technology for proven reliability and
unmatched quality.
• Same proven Amplifier used in popular Sensar antennas

FAQS
Q. What is the Rayzar Air?
A. The Rayzar Air is Winegard’s newest off-air digital RV antenna.
Q. What capabilities does the Rayzar Air have?
A: The Rayzar Air is a high-band VHF/UHF antenna with a bidirectional reception pattern, meaning it can receive signals from both the front and
back of the antenna. It may also receive low-band VHF signals in optimal conditions.
Q. How is the Rayzar Air installed?
A: The Rayzar Air is permanently mounted to the roof of your RV, similar to how the Winegard Sensar antennas are installed.

FAQS

Q. Is the Rayzar Air compatible with the Sensar lift assembly?
A: Yes – the Rayzar Air is sold both as a standalone unit (including full lift assembly) and as a conversion kit from the Sensar. This will allow a
consumer to retrofit a Sensar lift with the Rayzar Air antenna with a quick and easy process. The Rayzar Air is also compatible with the existing
Sensar’s wiring and power supply.
Q. What’s the difference between the Rayzar Air and the Sensar?
A: The Rayzar Air’s bidirectional reception pattern gives it more coverage than the Sensar, which will lead to less tuning required to receive
programming. It is also optimized for UHF reception, which a majority of US over-the-air stations are broadcast on.
Q. How is the Rayzar Air operated?
A: The Rayzar Air is operated by an interior crank assembly. It must be raised by cranking the interior handle and turned (using a directional
handle) towards the broadcast tower locations. Given the bidirectional reception pattern, the antenna will require less fine tuning than the
Sensar. A channel scan must then be run on the television to scan in channels received.
Q. Is the Rayzar Air compatible with the SensarPro signal meter?
A: Yes – the Rayzar Air is compatible with the SensarPro signal meter. The SensarPro provides detailed feedback on the signals the antenna is
receiving and allows users to add or decrease amplification to best suit their location for maximum performance.
Q. What channels can the Rayzar Air receive?
A: The Rayzar Air antenna can receive programming from the major local broadcast networks (e.g. ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, PBS) plus additional
networks (Qubo, ION, The CW, This TV, MyNetworkTV, Azteca, Telefutura, Univision, and Telemundo). The Rayzar Air antenna can also receive
local news, weather and educational programs that satellite and cable don’t offer. Availability may vary based on location and distance from
the broadcast tower.
Q. Does the Rayzar Air antenna work with any TV?
A: The Rayzar Air works with any TV or device that has an ATSC tuner. Devices that may have built-in ATSC tuners include TVs, laptops, PCs,
some satellite receivers, and digital recording devices (DVRs).
Tip: Any television manufactured after March 1, 2007 is required by U.S. government to have an ATSC tuner. If your TV menu has an option
for scanning for digital channels, then your television has an ATSC tuner.
Q. Will the Rayzar Air work with an analog television?
A: A large majority of over-the-air signals are now digital – the antenna does not differentiate between digital and analog signals. However, for an
analog TV to work with a Rayzar Air, a digital-to-analog converter box must be used in conjunction with the antenna.
Q. Can the Rayzar Air be connected to multiple televisions?
A: Yes. The Rayzar Air antenna can connect to multiple televisions through the wall plate/power supply that comes with the unit (or is from an
existing Sensar).
TROUBLESHOOTING
Q. What happens if the Rayzar Air antenna stops working or if I can’t set up the antenna properly?
A: Contact Winegard Technical Services by emailing [email protected] or by calling 1-800-788-4417.
