Before assembling the satellite dish, lay the reflector
on a flat surface. Verify that the reflector has not
been warped in shipping. If the edges do not lie
flat, hold the dish like a steering wheel and rapidly
flex the reflector away from your body. Repeat if
needed until the edges lay perfectly flat.
1.
Perform a thorough site survey using the included dish aiming
coordinates for AdventistSat Twin Satellite System. Verify line of
site for AMC4 101w co-located at the DirecTV 101w location.
2.
Install the dish on either the universal roof/wall mounting post
or mounted on a steel post set in concrete. It is very important to
have the post perfectly plumb before mounting the dish. Mast tripod
support legs MUST be installed if the dish is mounted with the
included universal post mount. Failure to install the tripod support
legs will result in a Charge Back to the contracted installer.
3.
Install the LNBF into LNBF clamp. The LNBF should be slid
in the clamp away from the reflector. Align the LNBF centering
marks with the LNBF rotation scale numbers on the LNBF clamp.
Standing in front of the dish looking towards the reflector, a Positive
(+) LNBF Rotation is counter clockwise (left), Negative (-) is
clockwise (right). The LNBF clamp has marking for 0°, -20° and
+20° degrees. Each mark is equal to 5°. If the aiming coordinates
specify a rotation greater than 20°, estimate the additional number
of degrees needed and set the LNBF rotation to the approximate
angle.
5.
The satellite receiver features very sensitive Strength and
Quality meters to align the dish. Connect LNBF #1 output to the
satellite receiver Digital LNB IN using either the 25' or 75' coax
cable.
6.
Tune the receiver to 3ABN Channel 3 (This is the strongest
transponder on the satellite).
