Completing Installation
Use the steps below while referring to Figure 1, page 2 for this installation.
Note:UseRG-6coaxialconnectionsbetweentheantennasystemandtheswitchandfromtheswitch
to the receiver location(s), using the following cable requirements. Grounding, other devices, and in-
home cabling must also meet these requirements.
• RG-6coaxialcablesratedforatleast950MHzto3GHzmustbeusedinthisinstallation.Do
not use existing cables such as RG-59 as it may cause signal loss. Also, be sure that any outdoor
connections are made using waterproof F-connectors rated for 3 GHz or greater.
• Follow the installation instructions included with the switch for cable length limitations.
The coaxial connection’s center conductor must not extend past the rim of the
F-connector;itmustbemorethanushwiththeF-connectorandnomorethanthe
thickness of a nickel.
Tighten all outdoor coaxial connections up to the torque values recommended by the
manufacturer to ensure seal against moisture. Damage caused by over-tightening is not
covered by the limited warranty. Tighten all indoor coaxial connections to the receiver
only by hand. If you use a wrench, you may over-tighten the connections and damage
your equipment.
Mount LNBF onto LNBF support. Mount the LNBF assembly on the LNBF support as
shown on Figure 1 (see page 2).
Connect peaking meter to LNBF. Connect a temporary cable to a peaking meter.
For the DISH Pro LNBF assembly: Connect the temporary cable to Port 2D (119°W) of the
DISH Pro DBS/FSS Dual Band LNBF. Port 2D provides signal from the 119°W satellite, while
Port 1F provides signal from the 118.7°W satellite (see Figure 5).
