INSTALLATION

STEP 1. After confirming that you have a clear line-of-

STEP 3. Adjust mount pipe so that it is plumb vertically. See Figure 5.

STEP 1. Assemble antenna as shown in Figure 1, except for LNBF and base/tube assembly.

STEP 2. Feed coaxial cable(s) through feed arm as shown in Figure 1.

STEP 3. Attach LNBF to feed arm. See Figure 1.

SITE SELECTION

sight from where you wish to mount the antenna, you must determine how you are going to mount the antenna and run your coax downlead to your receiver. Figure 3 shows a typical home installation. As indicated in the figure, you must ground both the antenna and the coax downlead before it enters your home. You can order all the accessories through Winegard or they can be found at most hardware stores.

STEP 1. Using the digital satellite receiver determine your azimuth (direction) and elevation. Refer to receiver manual to perform this step.

FIGURE 3

STEP 2. After you have determined your azimuth and elevation step outside to find the best location for the antenna. You will need a compass and a protractor or another means of determining elevation. Remember that the antenna must have a clear line-of-sight to the satellites. See Figure 2. The satellite signal will NOT travel through buildings, heavy tree cover and other obstructions.

STEP 4. Set antenna onto mount pipe. See Figure 1.

STEP 5. Feed coaxial cable(s) up through the mount pipe and through the LNBF feed. See Figure 1.

STEP 6. Attach coaxial cable(s) to LNBF. See Fig. 1.

STEP 7. Attach LNBF to antenna. See Figure 1.

STEP 8. Set elevation on antenna; align colored edge of clamp with degree marking. See Figure 6.

STEP 9. Run coax cable to point where you plan to enter the house. Be sure to secure the cable so that it will not flap in the wind (Cable Clips Model SW-0030 are ideal for this task).
