Quick Installation Instructions for Eastern Arc (EA)
Figure 1: DISH 1000.4 Antenna Installation Overview for Eastern Arc
1. Find azimuth/elevation/skew angles for your location (instructions on page 4 and tables on page 15).
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 satellite reflector, 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 reflector to the azimuth angle (page 6, step 8).
6. Run cables between the satellite reflector 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 Eastern Arc LNBF
Port 2
, rough peak the satellite reflector
on 72.7ºW using transponder 5 or 9 for maximum strength. Lock the mast clamp bolts (see Table 1) and
reconfirm signal (page 8, steps 3-4).
Note
: If using a peaking meter, only odd transponders are detected from
72.7ºW at this time.
8. Using the azimuth fine-tune cam, fine-tune the azimuth angle to achieve maximum signal. Tighten the bolts
labeled with a T and reconfirm signal. Do not tighten the azimuth fine-tune cam (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 side 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 Eastern Arc LNBF
Port 1
(and
Port 2
and
Port 3
, as necessary)
and receiver (page 10-12, step 9; steps 7-8 are optional and depend on your configuration).
11. Run
Check Switch
test and confirm 61.5ºW, 72.7ºW, and 77ºW reception (page 12, steps 10-11).
12. Take a software download (page 13, step 12).
13. Run a second
Check Switch
test and confirm 61.5ºW, 72.7ºW, and 77ºW 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 Eastern Arc LNBF’s
LNB In
port (page 14,
steps 1-4).
