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

damage, 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. Make sure
