  • Page 33: Site Survey

    Site Survey If you feel comfortable with drilling holes in the walls and/or roof of your home, climbing ladders, attaching wires to the ground according to NEC and local codes and following step-by-step instructions, you might consider installing your own system. The satellite is located over 23,000 miles away and the installation does require precise tuning and a great deal of patience to correctly install.
  • Page 34 Where Is The Satellite? Generally the dish will be pointed towards the South, Southeast or Southwest. The satellite is located south of Texas and Mexico directly over the equator. That means if you live in Miami, you must have a clear line of sight to the Southwest; if you live in San Francisco, you must have a clear line to the Southeast.
  • Page 35 Elevation Angle Finder Compass Using the aiming coordinates included with this system or found at http://www.GeoSatFinder.com along with a compass and the Site Check Angle Finder located on the last page of this manual, locate a suitable dish mounting position. While facing south, hold the compass level in the palm of your hand.

  • Page 36: Dish Mounting Options

    Dish Mounting Options We recommend ground mounting the dish on a 1 5/8” heavy wall galvanized post set in cement. Attach a bolt or muffler clamp to the bottom of the post to prevent the post from twisting in the hardened cement. These items are readily available at any hardware store.

  • Page 37: Dish Assembly

    Dish Assembly Once a suitable dish mounting location has been chosen it is time to set up the dish. Use the large cardboard shipping box as a working surface to prevent damage to the dish components during assembly. We recommend assembling the dish first and then installing on the post mount.

  • Page 38: Important Note

    If the reflector is warped, pick up the dish by the edges like a steering wheel and quickly thrust the reflector away from your body while holding the edges of the dish like passing a basketball. This action will cause the reflector to flex and it will spring back into the factory pressed shape.
  • Page 39 Attach the LNBF Arm to the Elevation Bracket. Assemble the Elevation Bracket and Post Clamp. The Post Clamp has two holes drilled. One hole is stamped with an A and the other with a B. Assemble the Elevation Bracket to the Post Clamp inserting Structural Bolt A (part #6) through the hole stamped A if the Dish Elevation Angle is between 10 -...

  • Page 40: Universal Post Mount Assembly And Install

    Universal Post Mount Assembly Mount the Universal Post Mount Foot Plate to a wall stud or roof rafter using two 5/16th x 3” lag bolts. Adding 5/16th x 2” lag bolts on the outer edges will increase stability. To prevent water leakage, use the included silicone sealant or other waterproofing product on all wall or roof penetrations.

  • Page 41: Lnbf Bracket Assembly

    If the post is not exactly plumb, the elevation scale will not be accurate and it will be very difficult to locate the satellites and properly Not Level Level tune the dish for reliable reception. The Most Critical step to providing a stable mounting platform for the dish is the installation of the Tripod Support Legs.
  • Page 42 Rotate the Twin LNBF clamp to the Skew Angle (LNBF Rotation) specified in the aiming coordinates. Standing in front of the dish looking towards the reflector, a Positive (+) Skew Rotation is set counter clockwise meaning that the left LNBF is rotated lower than the right LNBF.
  • Page 43 reflector so the white front face of the LNBF cap is slid 20mm (3/4”) LNBF forward of the clamp towards the reflector. Securely tighten both LNBF clamp screws (2). LNBF #1 is for SES1 101W (formerly AMC4) reception and LNBF #2 is for Galaxy19 97W. The LNBF Skew Scale is visible standing in front of the dish looking towards the reflector.

  • Page 44: Dish Aiming

    Dish Aiming Level and Secure Post Place the assembled dish onto the post. Set the Dish Elevation to the angle provided on the cover of this manual. The pointer for the elevation indicator is a white line that is visible through the elevation scale and is located near the edge of the elevation fastening nut.
  • Page 45 Compass Reading: Azimuth In North America, satellites are always located South of your location. To correctly aim the dish you must first accurately determine the exact compass reading angle (azimuth). Metals, electricity and other magnetic disturbances can cause the compass to point incorrectly. Compass readings should be made at least 10 feet in front of or behind the metal satellite dish and away from any large metal object such as metal buildings, air conditioners, vehicles, utility and power...

  • Page 50: Locate And Peak Satellite Signal

    Locate and Peak Satellite Signal While observing the Signal Quality (Q) reading, slowly move the dish towards the right. Reference the distant landmark or the string on the ground that you identified in your site check that corresponds with the Azimuth (compass) reading. Usually the satellite will be found within a few degrees either side of the compass reading.
  • Page 51 Once the correct satellite is located, make small adjustments in elevation and azimuth until maximum signal is indicated on the quality bar. Signal Quality (Q) readings should be 50% or better on the CGN TV channel to insure optimum picture and sound on all channels.

  • Page 52: Switch Installation - Single Room

    Note: Do not re-adjust the skew rotation of the twin LNBF clamp or adjust the LNBFs rotation or placement while locating the satellites. This will make the installation process very difficult! Switch Installation It is always a good idea to turn the Master Power Switch, located on the rear of the receiver OFF to prevent damage to the switch while connecting cables.

  • Page 53: Lnbf Adjustments - (Optional)

    Congratulations! The satellite system is properly installed and it is time to update the channel list. If any of the channels display a Signal Quality (Q) reading that is below 50%, additional fine tuning adjustments should be made to the dish elevation and azimuth aiming.

Rotate the LNBF in the circular clamp until the centering line on the LNBF aligns with the LNBF Rotation angle.

  • Page 59: Using Satellite Meters

    Using Satellite Meters Inexpensive satellite meters can speed up the installation process, but they only display the signal strength of a satellite. It is important to understand that signal strength satellite meters do not indicate if the dish is aimed at the correct satellite and they will not be useful for fine tuning the dish aiming or LNBF skew (rotation or tilt) for maximum Signal Quality.
