Carefully route the coax cable from
the dish to the ground block then
to the satellite receiver. Secure all
cables using appropriate cable clips
and nylon zip ties. Avoid using
wire staples as they can dimple or
penetrate the cable and can cause
loss of signal! Form drip loops and
cable loops as needed to prevent
water from running down the cables and entering cable connection
fittings or into wall penetrations. Remember to seal all exterior wall
and/or roof holes with a quality sealant or silicone caulking.

the structure ground. If you are
unsure of how to properly ground
your satellite system, please
consult with a local professional.
Copies of the NEC are available at
your local library or online.
Important Notice:
GEOSATpro recommends that you
DO NOT
use existing coaxial cabling that has been pre-wired or previously
used in your home. Often these cables are low quality RG-59, not
rated for satellite applications or have splitters and other devices
that are not compatible. Always connect the RG-6 type coax cable
directly from the satellite dish LNBF through the grounding block
and attach to the LNBF IN Digital connection on the rear of the
Satellite Receiver.
Cable splitters and other devices in the coax line may cause the
satellite receiver to shut down or malfunction. Do not use any device
in the coax line unless approved for satellite installation. Multiple
receiver installations must use a multiple output LNBF to avoid
tuning conflicts between the receivers. Splitters will not work!
