INSTALLING AND POINTING YOUR SATELLITE DISH ANTENNA
Installation Procedure
1)Select the location where you will install the ground block. Choose a site that will be near the cable entry point into the building. Also, plan a short and straight
path for the ground wire to the grounding rod.
For single LNBs or dual LNB installations using only one side, a single coaxial cable will be used.
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
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
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 satellite dish 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.
