Tighten the coax cable onto the LNBF by hand only.
Feed one end of the coax cable up from the bottom of the Mast Stand Pipe, through the pipe and out at the top. Failure to do so could damage your receiver. The elevation should be set using the white line (not the bolt!).Īlways connect the receiver to the power outlet last. The skew should be adjusted using the scale at the back of the dish. You may connect your receiver to any of the 4 outputs on the LNBF. Simply set it on the arm of the antenna per included instructions. 
The Quad LNBF does not need any adjustments.
A ladder if the antenna is to be mounted on a high location. The tools required to complete the antenna and LNBF positioning process are: The compass readings have not been corrected for magnetic variation so you should consult the magnetic deviation chart to get compass values on your azimuth (and you should also know how to use a compass, i.e. These three settings are listed by the look angles calculator. Consideration must be given regarding where to access the building, finished rooms or ceilings that must be contended with and how to get the cable to the receiver location.Īfter the dish and LNBF are assembled and mounted as per the instructions packaged with the dish, there are three critical settings that must be made to properly complete the install: When determining where to mount the antenna, carefully plan how and where to run the coax cable. For more information on how to perform a site survey, please see our site survey page.Įnsure that the placement of the dish will allow the mount to be securely fastened so the antenna will not come loose or be misaligned due to strong winds, or be subjected to accidents or vandalism. No trees or buildings can be situated where they will block the signal from reaching the dish. Before you install the antenna, you must ensure that the location you select will allow a clear line of sight to the satellite. You should still read the installation instructions provided with your satellite antenna and receiver and make sure your antenna is grounded before considering the installation to be over!Īlways make sure that your satellite receiver is on channel 299 while you are searching for the signal.Ĭonsult the look angles calculator and record the compass heading and elevation for the location nearest you. This guide focuses on the alignment procedure of your satellite antenna. If you follow these instructions carefully, you will not have much difficulty in optimizing the signals for your system. 
The satellite broadcasts with power equivalent to only a 50 watt light bulb so proper installation of the dish is critically important. It is important not underestimate the detail involved in pointing your dish accurately to obtain maximum performance. Shaw Direct uses both the Anik F1 (107.3°W) Anik F2 (111.1°W) satellites.
