Resumen del manual
This antenna system also has a re s e rved position for a satellite located at 110°W for additional services. If such services are off e red in your local area, you will be notified. The installation pro c e d u res listed in this manual re q u i re basic knowledge in construction, assembly and wiring. In ord e r to safely install this antenna system, you must be able to perform the following skills: • Use hand tools for assembly. • Drill and seal holes in mounting surfaces. • Use a bubble level to plumb the mast. (Critical alignment - See Figure 2B.) • Use a compass and inclinometer or protractor to determine clear line of sight to satellite. • Install and run coaxial cables through the home from the antenna to the receivers. • Climb ladders or roofs to mount and wire the antenna. • Know local and NEC grounding codes. (The National Electric Code is published by the National Fire Protection Association, 1 Battery m a rch Park, Quincy, Massachusetts, 02269-9959 and may be available at your local public library. ) If you feel this installation is beyond your experience and skill level, then contact the store where the system was purchased for advice on professional installation services in your area. WATCH OUT for power lines which may be overhead, buried underground and/or hidden behind walls. Take extreme care to avoid contact with any power lines with ladders, satellite system part s or tools during the installation to avoid serious injury or death. Local building and electrical codes (see latest revision of National Electrical Code) require proper grounding of the antenna mount and coaxial cables. Improper installations may seriously damage the equipment or the building and cause injury or death to you. Contact a licensed inspector or electrician in your area for assistance. WARNINGS TOOLS REQUIRED • #1 Phillips Screwdriver • 5/16 Hex Socket or Spintite • 7/16 Hex Wrench open or combination end (Text Box comment For Service Assistance, please call: 1-888-726-2377 in USA (787) 750-4300 in Puerto Rico) • Electric Drill & bits • Bubble Level • Compass With Degree Scale (Text Box comment TQB2AA0368 Printed in USA) • Inclinometer or Protractor -1 HARDWARE SORTER Unpack and identify parts using figures in manual. Read manual thoroughly before beginning installation. -2 HARDWARE SORTER (continued) -3 WALL MOUNTED RAIL MOUNTED WALL MOUNTED RAIL MOUNTED MOUNTING LOCATIONS Typical mounting locations are shown below. The mounting surface must be solid and rigid to prevent the antenna from moving during windy conditions. When attaching to wood framed structures, use the center holes on the mounting base foot to fasten onto the center of a stud or rafter. When attaching to masonry stru c t u res, use the four outside corner holes in base foot and four appropriate Z \ v" double-expansion anchors or toggle bolts with flat washers (not included). When using an optional accessory 1.66 O.D. steel ground mount pole (not included), dig a 12" diameter hole 36" deep for the pipe. CAUTION: Make certain the area is free of underground utilities before digging. Place flattened end of pipe in concrete to prevent rotation and attach re q u i red ground wire to punched hole. The pipe should extend at least 30" into the concrete pier. (Refer to detailed installation instructions included in your optional pole mounting kit.) CHIMNEY MOUNTED Requires optional mount kit POLE MOUNTED Requires optional mount kit -4 PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION THE SATELLITE LOCATIONS The two main DIRECTV satellites are located 22,000 miles above the equator at approximately 101° and 119° west longitude. To look at these satellites if you live in Miami, you must have a clear line of sight to the Southwest; if you live in San Francisco, you must have a clear line to the South-Southeast. (110°W satellite not shown. If services from 110°W satellite are off e re d in your local area, you will be notified.) FINDING THE DISH POINTING COORDINATES Finding the dish pointing coordinates for your location includes presetting the azimuth, elevation, and tilt. This is done by following the directions from your satellite receiver that appear on your TV screen. To accomplish this, make sure that your satellite receiver is properly installed to your television so that you can see the menu directions on your TV screen. Your satellite receiver does not need to be connected to your antenna for this step. See the User’s Manual that came with your satellite receiver for more information about finding the antenna’s pointing coordinates for your site ZIP Code number. -5 USING THE DISH POINTING MENU SCREEN By simply following your satellite re c e i v e r ’s on-screen menu feature, you can obtain the precise dish pointing coord i n a t e s for your location. These coordinates include Azimuth, Elevation and Ti l t . Because this satellite antenna can be used with several diff e rent DIRECTV satellite receiver models, we can not show you the specific instructions for obtaining dish p...
