Installation Guide
♦Refer to the grounding diagram on page ii of the "Important Product Safety Instructions." Note that this diagram suggests grounding the satellite antenna and coaxial cable to the power service grounding electrode system of the building.
♦If you install a grounding electrode system separate from the power service grounding electrode system, connect the separate electrode to the grounding system in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local electrical codes.
INSTALLING THE GROUNDING BLOCK
Depending on your mounting site and personal preference, you may want to install the grounding block onto the side of the building, or on some other sturdy structure near the satellite antenna. Make sure that the location is stable, and that you bolt the grounding block down securely.
Locate the grounding block as close to the grounding rod as possible.
ATTACHING THE CABLE TO THE GROUNDING BLOCK
1.Using the shortest path possible, route the coaxial cable from the LNBF to the coaxial terminal on one side of the grounding block.

Grounding Block with LNBF Cable
2.For each coaxial cable attached to the grounding block, connect a second coaxial cable onto the coaxial terminal on the other side of the grounding block. This is the cable that you will route into the building to the recorder.
3.Insert one end of the ground wire into the grounding terminal on the grounding block. Tighten the screw to hold the wire firmly.
