Attention!
These installation instructions are intended for use by qualified
professional technicians due to the complexity of the installation and compliance
to national/local building and electrical codes.
Never handle coax connection installations that are connected to a receiver or
accessory when that receiver or accessory is plugged into a live AC outlet.
Overview
Your DISH 500+/DISH 1000+ antenna system consists of a antenna assembly and a separate DISH Pro or
DISH Pro Plus LNBF kit.
These instructions guide you through the installation of a DISH 500+ and DISH 1000+ antenna system. The
DISH 500+ is capable of receiving digital television signals from three satellite locations: 110°W (DBS),
118.7°W (FSS), and 119°W (DBS). The DISH 1000+ is capable of receiving digital television signals from
four satellite locations: 110°W (DBS), 118.7°W (FSS), 119°W (DBS), and 129°W (DBS). These instructions
cover wall mounting only. For other mounting options (for example, pole mounting or non-penetrating
mounting), see the Retailer Care Site at retailer.dishnetwork.com.
Installation Considerations
This installation supports legacy receivers, but restrictions based on the connected switch must be followed.
Refer to the Installation Instructions for the switch used in your installation. Legacy receivers are receivers that
do not have the DISH Pro, DISH Pro Plus, or DISH Pro X logo (shown below).
This antenna assembly includes enhanced peaking controls for the azimuth and elevation settings that provide
the ability to more easily obtain an optimal peaking of the antenna system. Refer to Figure 1 on page 2 for
more details on the enhanced peaking controls.
The fine-tune azimuth and elevation settings require the use of a 1/2” wrench.
About the System
This system supports both DISH Pro and DISH Pro Plus 500+/1000+ LNBF assemblies.
The DISH Pro 500+ LNBF assembly provides reception from the 110°W, 118.7°W, and 119°W orbital
locations and supports a switch. Use a DISH Pro 34 (DP34) switch, DISH Pro Plus 33 (DPP33) switch, or
DISH Pro Plus 44 (DPP44) switch with the DISH Pro 500+ LNBF.
The DISH Pro 1000+ LNBF assembly provides reception from the 110°W, 118.7°W, 119°W, and 129°W
orbital locations. Use a DPP44 switch with the DISH 1000+. The DISH Pro 1000+ LNBF assembly uses the
included bracket to mount a DISH Pro Dual or DISH Pro Single to the DISH Pro 500+ LNBF assembly to
support the 129°W orbital location.
The DISH Pro Plus 500+ LNBF assembly provides reception from the 110°W, 118.7°W, and 119°W orbital
locations and does not require a switch for up to three receivers. If there are more than three receivers, a DISH
Pro Plus 44 (DPP44) switch can be added to support four receivers.
The DISH Pro Plus 1000+ LNBF assembly provides reception from the 110°W, 118.7°W, 119°W, and 129°W
orbital locations. The DISH Pro Plus 1000+ LNBF assembly uses the included bracket to mount a DISH Pro
Single to the DISH Pro Plus 500+ LNBF assembly to support the 129°W orbital location. The DISH Pro Single
connects to the DISH Pro Plus 500+ LNBF through the
