DirecTV HIRD-D01 Attaching the LNB to the LNB Support Arm, Connecting the Satellite Dish Antenna

DIRECTV SYSTEM FROM HUGHES NETWORK SYSTEMS - OWNER’S MANUAL

Attaching the LNB to the LNB Support Arm

1)Slide the cable connection end of the LNB into the D-shaped opening in the LNB support arm so that the LNB points toward the reflector. The end of the LNB may be rectangular or D- shaped, however either type will fit.

2)Insert the correct size retainer screw into the LNB mounting hole. Two sizes of this screw are provided to accommodate either LNB style.

3)Use the appropriate screwdriver to tighten the screw.

Routing the LNB Cable to the Satellite Receiver

During this step of the installation, route the LNB cable from the ground block to the satellite receiver. In most installations, there is more than one way to get the

LNB cable to the adapter from the grounding block. If the adapter is

near an inside wall, use the crawl space, basement, or attic area. When routing the LNB cable to the digital satellite receiver, take the

shortest possible path and always protect it from physical damage.

1) After verifying that there are no wires or pipes blocking the location where you near to feed the coaxial cable into the building , drill a ½-inch hole. If you are routing two coaxial cables, drill a second ½-inch hole near the first.

2) Connect one end of the cable to the ground block. Repeat this step if you are routing two cables.

3)Form a 3-inch to 5-inch drip loop in the cable(s) before inserting it in the access hole.

4)Secure the drip loop(s) and cable(s) to the wall with cable clips.

5)Inside the building, route the cable(s) to where the satellite receiver(s) are located. Depending on the installation site, this could be through a floor or wall, directly to the rear of the satellite receiver. If the cable goes straight through a wall, you can use a wall plate at the access point.

6)Seal the access point into the building with silicone sealant.

The satellite dish antenna and cable are now completely installed.

Connecting the Satellite Dish Antenna

You must connect the satellite dish antenna cable to receive a signal. You should unplug your digital satellite receiver from the power outlet prior to making this

connection. Once the satellite dish antenna has been mounted and the satellite cable has been run from the satellite dish antenna to the digital satellite receiver, you are ready to monitor the signal strength while adjusting the satellite dish antenna pointing.
