INSTALLING AND POINTING YOUR SATELLITE DISH ANTENNA

Installing the Satellite Dish Antenna onto a Metal Pole

The satellite dish antenna can be installed onto a metal pole. You will not be using the base plate or mast included with the satellite dish antenna for this procedure. Store these items in case you decide to move the satellite dish antenna to a new location in the future.

Have the following tools and materials handy during this process. Items marked with a asterisk

(*) indicate that they are included in the Do-It-Yourself Installation Kit (sold separately).

∙	Hole digging tools	∙	Guy wires and	∙ Metal pole (1¼-inch
∙	Wheelbarrow or		wooden stakes	inside diameter
∙	Wheelbarrow or			schedule 40
	concrete mixing box	∙	Hacksaw	schedule 40
	concrete mixing box	∙	Hacksaw	galvanized water pipe
				galvanized water pipe
∙	Carpenter’s level	∙	40-pound bag of	- 6-foot length
∙	Pencil or chalk		quick setting concrete	minimum)
∙	Pencil or chalk		(Qty 4)
			(Qty 4)

Installation Procedure

1)Use a hacksaw to cut the bottom edge of the pole at a 45° angle, as shown. This prevents the pole from rotating in the concrete over time.

2)Dig a hole at least 8-inches in diameter and 36-inches deep. If you live in an area where the frost line goes deeper than 30-inches, dig the hole at least 6-inches

deeper than the frost line.

3) Place the pole into the hole and place rocks (for example) around the pole to stabilize it in a vertical position.

4) Fill the hole with prepared quick drying cement. Shape the top of the concrete with a slope to improve drainage.

5)Using a carpenter’s level, plumb the pole in at least two

different locations on the side of the pole, as shown. These two measurements should be at right angles to each other. When the pole is plumb, secure it with the rocks, or attach guy wires to hold it upright.

6) Let the cement dry for 24 hours before you remove the guy wires or attempt to attach the satellite dish antenna to the pole.

With the pole installed, proceed to the section titled “Attaching the Reflector Onto the LNB Support Arm” later in this chapter.
