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.

For single LNBs or dual LNB installations using only one side, a single coaxial cable will be used.

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.
