STEP 3.3C: INSTALLING THE DISH ON THE MOUNT
(90 CM DISH)
You have installed the mount on your dwelling and you have pre-assembled the antenna
unit, ready to be installed on the mount.
There are just a few steps here:
1. Slide the antenna assembly over the mast.
2. Lightly tighten the four nuts on the back of the mast clamp, so that the antenna can
pivot in the East/West directions but not be loose.
3. You are ready to carry out the antenna alignments, as soon as the wiring in Step 3.3D
is completed.
STEP 3.3D: CONNECTING THINGS TOGETHER (90 CM DISH)
The wiring is accomplished as follows:
1. Thread a length of coaxial cable through the
mast pipe and mast clamp as shown in the
diagram.
2. Route the coaxial cable through the side of the
feed support tube as shown in the diagram.
3. Slip the weather boot(s) onto the LNBF
cable(s). To do this, insert the end of the cable
with the screw connector into the smaller end
of the boot and work it through. When you are
finished the boot should slide freely over the
cable but hold snugly when slipped up over the the screw connector. Be patient. This is
a difficult and somewhat painstaking job. (If possible, place weather boot on cable
before putting on ÒFÓ connector).
4. Attach the LNBF to the LNBF cable(s). Slide the weather boot up securely to
cover the cable/LNBF connection at the base of the LNBF.
5. Slip the LNBF onto the end of the arm as shown, until contact is made with the LNBF
bracket stops and put in screw through arm and LNBF.
6. Route and fasten the cable in a neat, unobtrusive manner in such a way so it cannot be
damaged by accident. Connect the opposite end of the cable to your receiver, to the
connector marked ÒSatellite InÓ.
7. See page 1-36 for instructions concerning safety grounding.
The assembly and mounting of the 90 cm Dish is complete.
