INSTALLING AND POINTING YOUR SATELLITE DISH
2) Select a length of cable that can be routed easily from the LNB to the ground block. If your
system is equipped with a dual-output LNB, select a second cable
that’s the same length.
3) Secure the grounding block to a stable mounting surface with
two screws, then connect the cable(s) to the grounding block.
4) Secure the cable(s) with cable clips. Do not forget to form the
drip loop and secure it in place with cable clips.
5) Install the #14 insulated ground wire on the ground terminal of
the ground block in accordance with National Electric Code section
820-33.
6) Route the ground wire to the ground rod.
7) Connect the ground wire to the ground rod. Remember to secure
the wire to a wall or some surface to protect it.
Connecting the Coaxial Cable to
the LNB
Installation Procedure
1) If you installed the antenna assembly onto a metal pole, go to step 2. Otherwise, route the
coaxial cable(s) through the mast and LNB support arm. Now
continue on to step 3.
2) Route the coaxial cable(s) along the outside of the pole and
inside the LNB support arm.
3) Insert the cable into the cable clip. This ensures that there will
be enough slack in the cable if you need to remove the LNB later. If
you are routing two cables, use a cable tie to bind the cables
together, then insert one of the cables into the cable clip.
4) Attach the coaxial cable(s) onto the LNB as shown.
Attaching the LNB to the LNB
Support Arm
1) Slide the cable connection end of the LNB into the rectangular opening in the LNB support
arm so that the LNB points toward the reflector.
2) Insert the retainer screw into the LNB mounting hole.
3) Use the appropriate screwdriver to tighten the screw.
For single LNBs or dual LNB installations using only
one side, a single coaxial cable will be used.
