Multiple Room Install
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.

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.
Completing the Install and Grounding
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 Satellite IN 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!
