Shaw SAC-00-094 Mounting Locations, Dish Assembly, Do not install the dish, We do not recommend

Key points to remember when installing your Shaw Direct System:

•Do not drill any holes until you’ve confirmed the best location for the dish.

•Make sure the installation of the dish conforms to local electrical and building codes, zoning requirements and other applicable laws and regulations. If you are unsure, contact your local electrician or building inspector for assistance.

•For possible periodic removal of snow, choose a site that is easily accessible.

•Ensure thereare no visible obstructionsbetween the dish and your line of sightto the satellites. Keep in mind that trees will grow up and outward and may eventually block the signal.

•The maximum allowable length for the RG-6 coaxial cable connecting the receiver to your dish is 125 feet. Consult Shaw Direct if the cable will exceed this length.

•Use only RG-6 grade coaxial cable. Using lower grade RG-59 coaxial cable may result in excessive signal loss and poor reception. Cable grade type is indicated on the outer jacket of the cable.

•Do not install the dish:

•Under power lines

•Where it may be easily tampered with

•Where it is exposed to high winds, during windy or stormy conditions

2. Mounting Locations

Yourdish will typicallybe mountedon a solid base. To ensure your dish doesn’t move in windy conditions, choose a location where it can be securely fastened. The mounting surface should be rigid and solid.

IMPORTANT: The Elliptical Dish has a turn radius of +/_ 35 degrees. If you are mounting the dish on the side of your house, check the assembled dish and mounting pole to see if you can rotate the dish in the desired azimuth setting. If you can’t rotate the dish, choose an alternate location.

Key things to remember when choosing a mounting location:

•The mounting surface should be flat, even and in good condition.

•If you install the dish on the roof or side of your house, be sure to attach the bolts into a building stud, rafter or other solid surface.

•When mounting on the roof of your house,

use an adequate/approved sealant (for your type of roofing material) around the holes where the base of the universalmount meets the mounting surface. This will prevent the roof from leaking. (Consult with a roofing expert to confirm best sealant.)

•We do not recommend:

•Mounting the dish on a railing

•Installing the dish on aluminum or vinyl siding (these are unlikely to be structurally sound)

•Keep grounding requirements in mind (see section 11 for additional information on grounding).

3. Dish Assembly

Step 1: To avoid losing any hardware components, select a clear area on the ground for dish assembly.

Step 2: On the Universal Mount, insert the (2) 1/4" X 1/2" Carriage Head Bolts (Mast Adjusting Bolts), through the mast and the curved slot of the mount. Capture with

(2)1/4" External Tooth Washers and (2) 1/4" Whiz Nuts. Tighten the bolts just enough to hold in place (see Figure A).

Fig. A

Step 3: Attach the dish to the Clamp Mount Assembly using the (2) 1/4" X 1-3/4"Long Carriage Head Bolts (Antenna Mounting Bolts-Painted Head), (2) 1/4 Flat Washers and (2) 1/4"Whiz Nuts. Ensure the Center Pivot Pin on the Clamp Mount Assembly is inserted in the mating hole of the Dish (see Figure B).

Note: We do not recommend mounting the dish on the roof unless absolutely necessary. We also recommend that you consult a building expert for future tips on preventing roof leakage.
