Connecting a Second Satellite Dish
After completing the previous section(s) to install the DISH Pro Plus Twin LNBF, following the
instructions below to add a third satellite location from another compatible LNBF to the DISH Pro Plus
Twin LNBF. The added LNBF from the second dish must be a DISH Pro Single, DISH Pro Dual, or a
DISH Network bandstacked FSS LNBF.
Note
: You cannot do this installation if both receivers connected to the DISH Pro Plus Twin LNBF are
Legacy receivers (that is, receivers not marked with DISH Pro or DISH Pro Plus logos).
Installation Instructions
Refer to Figure 11 on page 14 while completing these instructions.
Install and peak the second dish antenna using a peaking meter and the instructions that came
with the dish antenna. Skip any steps regarding taking a receiver software upgrade since this
was done in the previous section.
Run cable from the second dish antenna location to the DISH 500 with the installed DISH Pro
Plus Twin LNBF. Cabling must meet
Cable Limitations identified below.
Cable Limitations
• Only RG-6 coaxial cables rated for 950 to 2150 MHz can be used in this installation. Do not use
existing cables such as RG-59. These other cables may cause signal loss. Also, be sure that any
outdoor connections are made using waterproof F-connectors.
• Refer to Figure 13 on page 16 and the following for cable length limitations:
- The length of the RG-6 cable must be 200 feet or less between any receiver and the farthest
LNBF in the system including both cabling to the DISH Pro Plus Twin LNBF plus any
cabling connecting an additional DISH Pro LNBF.
- If you are connecting a Legacy receiver (no DISH Pro or DISH Pro Plus label), RG-6 cable
length must be 150 feet or less to the DISH Pro Plus Twin LNBF.
- Cable length between the DISH Pro Plus Twin LNBF and a connected compatible LNBF
must be 80 feet or less.
Tighten all indoor coaxial cable connections to the receiver only by hand. If you use a wrench,
you may over-tighten the connections and damage your equipment. Tighten all outdoor cable
connections up to 30 inch/pounds maximum to ensure seal against moisture. Damage caused by
over-tightening is
not covered by the limited warranty.
Connect the coaxial cable between the LNBF on the second dish and the LNB I
N
port on the
DISH Pro Plus Twin LNBF. Refer to Figures 1 on page 2 and 15 on page 17.
