Installation Instructions
8. Thread the RG-6 coaxial cable through the mast support arm and
the Y-bracket. This cable should be long enough to run from your receiver to your LNBF.
Note: See Running Coaxial Cables on page 67 for cable installation guidance.
Note: You can have as much as 200 feet of cable between the DishPro LNBF and the DishPro receiver. However, you must use only RG-6 coaxial cables rated for 950 to 2150 MHz. Some cables may say "Swept tested for 2150 MHz." If you have any doubt about this, ask your DISH retailer, or look on the container the cable came in. Do not use cable company TV cables or cables from other satellite TV systems not rated for 950-2150 MHz. These other cables may cause signal loss. Do not use existing cables such as RG-59. Also, be sure that any outdoor connections are made using waterproof F-connectors.
9.Attach the Y-bracket, using the Y-bracket screw.
10.Connect the RG-6 cable from the DISHPro SAT IN connection on the back of the receiver directly to port 1 of the DISHPro Twin LNBF, as shown below. Be sure there are no multi-dish switches between the LNBF and the receiver.
Tighten all of the coaxial cable connection only by hand. If you use a wrench, you may over-tighten the connections and damage your equipment. Such damage is not covered by the Limited Warranty.
