Installation Guide
ࡗ Refer to the grounding diagram on page ii of the "Important Product Safety
Instructions." Note that this diagram suggests grounding the satellite antenna and
coaxial cable to the power service grounding electrode system of the building.
ࡗ If you install a grounding electrode system separate from the power service grounding
electrode system, connect the separate electrode to the grounding system in accordance
with the National Electrical Code and local electrical codes.
INSTALLING THE GROUNDING BLOCK
Depending on your mounting site and personal preference, you may want to install the
grounding block onto the side of the building, or on some other sturdy structure near the
satellite antenna. Make sure that the location is stable, and that you bolt the grounding
block down securely.
Locate the grounding block as close to the grounding rod as possible.
ATTACHING THE CABLE TO THE GROUNDING BLOCK
1. Using the shortest path possible, route the coaxial
cable from the LNBF to the coaxial terminal on one
side of the grounding block.
If you are using a dual-port LNBF, route both coaxial
cables to the grounding block.
2. For each coaxial cable attached to the grounding
block, connect a second coaxial cable onto the
coaxial terminal on the other side of the grounding
block. This is the cable that you will route into the
building to the recorder.
3. Insert one end of the ground wire into the grounding
terminal on the grounding block. Tighten the screw
to hold the wire firmly.
