MULTI-SATELLITE ANTENNA INSTALLATION
The procedures in this guide are specifically for the Bell ExpressVu's Multi-Satellite
Antenna installation. For more detailed information, you may need to refer to your
satellite system’s Installation Instructions/User Manual
1. Before you start, read all safety precautions in your satellite system’s Installation
Instructions/User Manual.
2. Use the Satellite Location "Look" Angles Chart located at the back of this manual for
specific coordinates to point the satellite dish in your area. The azimuth, elevation and
skew define the exact direction to aim your dish so that it can receive signals from the
satellite. Azimuth is the compass direction; elevation is the "up-down" angle; and
skew is the ‘side-to-side’ rotation angle of the satellite dish.
3. Using the azimuth and elevation angles from Step 2, find a location for the satellite
dish. With a compass, find the required azimuth angle. Then, use the elevation angle
to find out how high the satellites are in the sky from your location. Make sure
nothing blocks the line of sight to the satellites. For more detailed instructions on how
to find the satellites, refer to your satellite system’s Installation Instructions/User
Manual.
4. Mount the mast to a solid surface so that the dish antenna cannot move or be bumped
out of adjustment. Keep in mind that physical and environmental conditions can affect
your satellite dish’s ability to receive a clear satellite signal. The conditions to be
aware of are: eaves and overhangs on your building or house, wind, plant growth, and
deterioration of the mounting surface. Never mount to a tree.
5. Align the top part of the mast so that it is absolutely vertical. If the top part of the mast
is off vertical by only a few degrees, it will be difficult or impossible for you to find
the satellites. Take at least two readings with a bubble level, on sides of the mast that
are 90 degrees apart from one another (see diagram).
