Dish Reflector Accuracy
Before assembling the dish it is
Extremely Important
to verify
that the reflector was not warped or bent during shipping. Failure
to check for dish warping or damage could lead to many frustrating
hours of trying to locate the satellite. This simple test may be the
most important step in a successful installation!
Bad - Warped Reflector
Good - Reflector
Find a perfectly flat surface such as a garage cement floor and lay the
reflector face down. Are the edges of the reflector laying perfectly
flat? If any area of the edge is raised by even an 1/8th of an inch
reception of the satellite signal will be affected! If you cannot find
It is important to check the reflector for warping before
assembly of the satellite dish.
Once a dish 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.
a perfectly flat surface or if the dish is already
installed, perform the string test.
Tape a string horizontally from edge to edge
across the center of the dish. Tape a second
string vertically from top to bottom on the
edges of the dish.
If the strings do not lightly touch in the center,
the dish is warped and it must be corrected
before aiming the dish.
