Quick Installation Instructions for Western Arc (WA)
Figure 2. DISH 1000.4 Antenna Installation Overview for Western Arc
1. Find azimuth/elevation/skew angles for your location (instructions on page 4 and tables on page 21).
2. Find a location for the satellite reflector with a clear line of sight and a sturdy mounting surface (page 4, step 1).
3. Mount the mast, making sure it is absolutely vertical (page 4, steps 2-4). Attach struts to the mast, using the
instructions that came with the struts.
4. Assemble the antenna assembly, setting the skew and elevation angles during assembly (pages 5-6, steps 5-7).
5. Mount the satellite reflector on the mast and point the satellite antenna to the azimuth angle (page 6, step 8).
6. Run cables between the antenna assembly and the receiver(s), leaving a service loop around the dish mounting
bracket and attaching cables to the mast using zip ties (page 7, steps 1-2 ).
7. Using a peaking meter attached to the DPP 1000.4 Western Arc LNBF
Port 1
, peak the satellite reflector on
119ºW using transponder 13 or 21. Lock the mast clamp bolts (see Table 1) and reconfirm maximum signal
(page 8, steps 3-4).
8. Using the azimuth fine-tune cam, fine-tune the azimuth angle to achieve maximum signal. Tighten the azimuth
bolts labeled with a T and reconfirm signal (see Figure 9, page 9). Do not tighten the azimuth fine-tune cam (see
page 9, step 5).
9. Using the elevation rod, fine-tune the elevation angle to achieve maximum signal. Tighten the top elevation rod
nut and then tighten the elevation bolts marked T. Reconfirm signal after tightening all elevation bolts (page 9,
step 6).
10. Connect the receiver cable(s) to the DPP 1000.4 Western Arc LNBF
Port 1
(and
Port 2
and
Port 3
, as necessary)
(pages 10-12, step 9; steps 7 and 8 are optional and depend on your configuration) and receiver. Some
restrictions apply when connecting legacy receivers (see page 11).
11. Run
Check Switch
test and confirm 110ºW, 119ºW, and 129ºW reception (page 12, steps 10-11).
12. Take a software download (page 13, step 12).
13. Run a
Check Switch
test and confirm 110ºW, 119ºW, and 129ºW reception (page 13, step 13).
14. Install additional receiver(s), if necessary (page 13, step 14).
15. If applicable, connect a second satellite reflector to the DPP 1000.4 Western Arc LNBF’s
LNB In
port (page 14,
steps 1-4).
