Final Dish Assembly

3.Separate the messenger (ground) wire from the coaxial cable. Separate only the amount required to install the coaxial cable through the LNB arm. (Sony dish owners skip to next step.) Push only the coaxial cable through the bottom of the mast and out the top. Pull about 2 feet of cable out of the top. Loop the cable and push it through the LNB support arm as shown below.

4.Place some silicone grease on the LNB connector and connect the end of the coaxial cable to the LNB. (Sony dish owners: clip the coaxial cable to the LNB arm and skip to step 8.)

Tip

If you have a dual-output LNB, and are planning to connect your dish to two separate receivers, you should route both cables at this time.

5.Insert the end of the LNB into the end of the LNB support arm (push any extra coaxial cable back through the support arm).

6.Locate the special hex retainer nut and insert it into the LNB mounting hole on top of the LNB support arm.

7.Locate the phillips head screw and insert it into the LNB mounting hole from the bottom of the LNB support arm. Tighten the screw with a screwdriver

8.Locate the grounding hardware (bolt, star washer and nut).

9.Insert the bolt as shown below and attach the messenger (ground) wire to the foot of the mast (you may want to trim the extra messenger wire before attaching). You will connect the other end of that wire to the grounding block at the building entry point.

Tip

The hex retainer nut must be inserted into the top of LNB before the phillips head screw is inserted into the bottom of the LNB. Otherwise it is very difficult to thread the screw to the nut.

Note

When using a pole mount, you need to attach

the grounding wire to the metal pole using a 1 1/2” grounding clamp.
