1. How to Assemble a Zone 2 Satellite Dish
List of satellite dish components
- 60cm Satellite Dish
- Wall Bracket
- Wall Tube (Arm)
- Elevation Bracket
- Dish Bracket
- Fixing Kit
- Feed Arm
Tools Needed to Assemble Satellite Dish
- 10mm, 13mm socket and ratchet
- Philips screwdriver
Steps to Assemble Satellite Dish
- Open fixing kit and select U-bolts (qty: 2), nuts (qty: 4)
- Insert the U bolts through the wall bracket
- Thread on the nuts
- Insert the arm and tighten the nuts using 10mm socket and ratchet
- The wall bracket & arm assembly is complete
- Next insert U-bolts (qty: 2) through the elevation bracket
- Loosely tighten nuts
- Attach the elevation bracket to the dish bracket
- Using bolts and washers (qty: 4), tighten with 13mm socket and ratchet
- Use the bolts and nuts (qty:4) and the Philips screwdriver to attach the dish bracket to the dish
- Use the long threaded bolt and small nut to attach the feed arm to the back base of the dish bracket so the arm protrudes in front of the dish
- Finally insert the LNB (and plastic insert) into the end of the arm and secure with a tie wrap
2. How to Mount a Satellite Dish
Equipment needed to mount a satellite dish on a wall
- Zone 2 satellite dish, complete with wall bracket and arm
- Coach bolt M8 x 50mm & 10mm plastic plugs (qty: 4)
Tools needed to mount on a wall
- Cordless drill - ideally a 24-36v SDS Drill
- 8mm, 10mm drill bits
- 10mm, 13mm socket and ratchet
- Satellite meter
Criteria on where to mount the satellite dish?
- Dish must face South East (141 degrees i.e. direction of sun 11am BST)
- Wall must be a solid surface capable of carrying weight of satellite dish
- Signal must not be blocked by houses or trees (signal is coming in at 21 degrees to the horizontal)
- Place at back or gable end of house to minimise visual intrusion
- Place as close at possible to TV room to which the satellite cables are to connected so as to minimise cable run
Steps
- Place the wall bracket and arm in the correct location
- Use the cordless drill and 8mm drill bit to drill 4 guide holes
- Use 10mm drill bit to drill holes to a depth of 60mm
- Insert the 4 plastic plugs in the holes and mount the wall bracket using the 4 coach bolts
- Tighten the coach bolts using the 13mm socket and ratchet
- Attach the satellite dish to the arm of the wall plate
- Use 10mm socket to lightly tighten the dish 'U'-bolts so they are fixed to arm but the dish can still be rotated
- Follow steps in the how to align a satellite dish guide
3. How to Align a Zone 2 Satellite Dish
- Having already mounted the satellite dish on your wall
- Attach your satellite meter to the dish LNB
- Align the dish so that it is (1) perfectly vertical, (2) pointing south east (141 degrees).
- Rotate the dish slowly over and back
- Repeat adjusting the tilt angle by 1 or 2 degrees to until a signal is found
- Tighten the U-bolts and side bolts using the 10mm & 13mm sockets
- Disconnect the satellite meter
- Connect a cable with an 'F-type' connector from the dish to the satellite box
- Check that the signal is working
4. How to Run Cables & Attach Connectors
The next step is to run satellite cable to the satellite receiver
Tools needed
- Hammer
- Snips
- Drill
- SDS Drill Bit 10X450
Equipment
- Satellite Installation Kit
Prior to beginning you must decide
- Decide how to run cable
- Connect into existing cables in the attic
- Normally neater but requires additional connectors
- May need a multi-meter to be able to identify the correct cable
- May result in longer cable runs
- Run a cable directly from the satellite dish to the satellite receiver
- Fastest and easiest way to run a cable
- Cable runs are normally shorter
- Requires the drill of a hole through a wall
- Connect into existing cables in the attic
STEPS
- If the satellite receiver is to be located next to the external wall of a room
- Use a drill and an SDS Drill Bit 10x450 to drill a hole through the wall
- Ensuring to drill from the inside out
- To conceal broken plaster use either
- Hole tidy (insert inside and out before the cable is run)
- Cable cover nailed onto the outside wall after the cable has been run
- Feed the end of the satellite cable through the wall leaving enough cable to reach the front of the satellite box
- Now start tacking the cable using 7mm clips and a hammer
- Ensuring that the cable runs down from the hole that been drilled in the wall
- This will stop water following the cable into the house
- Continue tacking the cable
- Run cable vertically or horizontally but NEVER diagonally
- If possible hide cable under the plinth or behind drain pipes (using 300mm cable ties)
- Cut the cable leaving enough length to reach the LNB of the dish
- Put on an F connector on the each end of the satellite cable
- Screw the F connector on to the LNB
- Seal the connection using Insulation tape or ideally waterproof self amalgamating tape
- Secure the cable to the dish feed arm using either 300mm cable ties or Insulation tape
- Final step is to put on an F connector on the satellite cable next to the satellite receiver
How to Put on F-Type Connectors
5. How to Install Your Satellite Receiver
- Unpack the box
- Satellite receiver
- Remote control
- Screw the lead from the satellite dish into the LNB in connection
- Connect a scart or HDMI cable from your TV to the box
- Plug in the power lead
- Turn on the power switch on the back on the box
- After 5-6 seconds the box will come on and should automatically switch TV to AV channel
- You may need to switch AV channel on TV if it does not automatically switch over
