Installation Procedure

1)Use a sledgehammer to drive the ground rod 8 feet into the ground near where you installed the satellite dish antenna base plate.

2)Insert the ¼-20 x ½-inch bolt through the grounding hole on the base plate.

3) Install the ¼-inch nut onto the bolt.

4) Wrap the #8 aluminum grounding wire around the bolt between the star washer and the base plate in accordance with National Electric Code section 810-15, then tighten the nut.

5) Route the ground wire from the base plate to the ground rod. Use the ground rod clamp to attach the ground wire to the ground rod.

6) If necessary, secure the ground wire to the wall using insulated U-shaped tacks.

Installing and Routing the LNB Coaxial Cable

This section describes routing and installing the coaxial cable between the LNB and the grounding block. Depending on the routing of the coaxial cable, you may

choose to use a cable that can be buried. When normal coaxial cable is buried, its outer cover decays in the soil, and the cable’s life is shortened. Cables that are suitable for burial use a special outer

cover that resists breakdown. Some of these cables also have a special coating on their ground shields. This coating resists corrosion

if water gets into the cable. Anytime the coaxial cable is buried, use cable that is suitable for burial. Doing so will help prevent problems

in the future.

An important goal of your cable installation is to protect the cable

from physical damage and moisture penetration. To protect the cable from physical damage, secure it to walls or another stable surface

with cable clips. This prevents the cable from sagging and being damaged by people stepping on it or running over it with yard

equipment. Prevent moisture penetration by using weatherproof connectors, or by sealing any connection that is exposed to the elements. Drip loops provide a connection with additional protection by preventing moisture from traveling down the cable and entering the connection.

Have the following tools and materials available:

Phillips screwdriver

∙ #14 (or larger)
