Installing a Legacy DISH 500 System
INSTALLING A LEGACY DISH 500 SYSTEM
If the LNBFs in your system do not have the DishPro logo, you are installing
a Legacy system.
Important: You cannot use DishPro LNBFs and switches (those marked
with the DishPro logo) with Legacy switches and LNBFS (those without
the DishPro logo).
Note: If you are installing a Legacy system with two single or dual
LNBFs, follow the instructions that begin below. If you will be installing
a Legacy system with a Twin LNBF, skip the following section and go to
page 78.
Note: If you are installing a multi-dish system, follow either these
instructions or the instructions for installing a system with a twin LNBF,
and then follow the instructions that begin on page 81 to complete your
system.
FOR INSTALLING A LEGACY DISH 500 SYSTEM WITH TWO SINGLE
OR DUAL LNBFS
Note: If you are installing a Legacy LNBF (that does not have a DishPro
logo), you can have as much as 100 feet of cable between the satellite
dish’s LNBF connectors and the receiver, so long as you use only RG-6
cable. Also, be sure that any outdoor connections are made using
waterproof “F-connectors.”
1. Once you have the dish mounted by completing all the steps in the section
titled Mounting the Dish, label one coaxial cable “119” on both ends, and
the other coaxial cable “110” on both ends. These cables need to be long
enough to reach from the receiver to the LNBF. If you are installing dual
LNBFs and want to support two receivers or multiple dishes (see the
Wiring Diagrams that begin on page XX), you will also need to thread
two additional cables. If you do, make sure you also label one cable “119”
on both ends, and the other “110” on both ends (the section Grounding the
Dish (page 90) has detailed cable installation instructions).
2. Thread both coaxial cables through the mast (optional) support arm and
the Y-bracket. Make sure the cables labeled “119” are threaded through
