C Installing The Dish On The Mount - Bell EXPRESSVU 2700 Installation And Setup

4. Mark the location of one of the holes and remove the mount.
5. Drill the hole and attach the mount foot with the one fastener only.
6. Now, once again, position the top of the mast to be approximately plumb; then place a
level on the side of the pipe and pivot the mount foot slightly around the one
attachment and adjust the mount foot to make the pipe vertical. Once achieved, drill
the other 3 holes while the mount foot is still properly in place. (Alternatively, you can
mark the holes, remove the mount, then drill).
7. Attach the mount with the 4 fasteners; seal the holes with silicone to prevent water
damage to your dwelling.
8. Place your level on the front face of the top section of the mast and adjust the pipe to
be vertically level by pivoting around the base bracket. Tighten down the nuts on the
bracket when it is level. There are no further adjustments to make on the mount.
9. Check your work... The top of the mast should now be ÒplumbÓ!
If you have trouble fastening the mount to a surface, try mounting a solid
piece of wood to your dwellingÕs surface first, then fastening the mount to
the wood.
STEP 3.1C: INSTALLING THE DISH ON THE MOUNT
(46 CM DISH)
You have installed the mount on your dwelling and you have pre-assembled the antenna
unit, ready to be installed on the mount.
There are just a few steps here:
1. Slide the antenna assembly over the mast.
2. Lightly tighten the two nuts on the back of the mast clamp, so that the antenna can
pivot in the East/West directions but not be loose.
3. You are ready to carry out the antenna alignments, as soon as the wiring in Step 3.1D
is completed.
STEP 3.1D: CONNECTING THINGS TOGETHER (46 CM DISH)
The wiring is accomplished as follows:
1. Thread a length of coaxial cable through the dish as shown in diagram
2. Slip the weather boot(s) onto the LNBF cable(s). To do this, insert the end of the cable
with the screw connector into the smaller end of the boot and work it through. When
you are finished the boot should slide freely over the cable but hold snugly when
slipped up over the the screw connector. Be patient. This is a difficult and somewhat
painstaking job. (If possible, place weather boot on cable before putting on ÒFÓ
connector).
