DUAL SATELLITE INSTALLATION MANUAL SAC- 00- 094
Welcome to Shaw Direct Thank you for choosing Shaw Direct. We’re confident you’ll enjoy all that Shaw Direct has to offer. Follow the steps outlined in this manual to correctly install your system, and soon you’ll be ready for the ultimate television experience. Before you begin with your installation, we’d like you to take a minute and get to know us, and get to know what we offer our valued customers.
1. Getting Started This Shaw Direct Installation Manual provides all the information you require to install your system. The instructions are fairly simple, providing step- by- step instruction for system installation. However, it will require skills in construction, wiring and assembly to correctly complete the installation. Quad LNB Important: We also recommend against installing the satellite dish on your roof, unless absolutely necessary.
Key points to remember when installing your Shaw Direct System: • If you install the dish on the roof or side of your house, be sure to attach the bolts into a building stud, rafter or other solid surface. • When mounting on the roof of your house, use an adequate/approved sealant (for your type of roofing material) around the holes where the base of the universal mount meets the mounting surface. This will prevent the roof from leaking. (Consult with a roofing expert to confirm best sealant.
4. Locating the Satellite Fig. B 1/4" x 1-3/4" Long Carriage Head Bolt (Antenna Mounting Bolt) Step 1: Determine the direction in which to point the dish. The primary satellite SAT A is located at 107.3 west longitude; the secondary satellite (SAT B) will be located at 111.1 west longitude.
Fig. F 0 Level Not Level ˚ 90 Fig. H 0˚ 27 If you live in Vancouver, the satellite will be to the Southeast 0˚ 18 Use bubble level to plumb mast so it is vertical in all directions If you live in Newfoundland, the satellite will be to the Southwest Curved slot Step 5: Estimate the SAT B elevation (angle) setting you recorded earlier, using a protractor if needed (see Figure G). Check any obstructions at that elevation. If there are obstructions, then select an alternate location for the dish.
Step 6: Attach the Quad Satellite LNB/Feedhorn Clamp Assembly to the Feed Support Arm. Loosen the Feed Arm screw enough to allow the clamp to fit snugly into the Feed Support Arm. Securely tighten the Feed Arm screw. require an assistant to monitor the signal level reading on the TV as you align the dish for maximum signal. 2.
Position yellow cursor (using navigator keys on the remote control) on the Provider ID and enter 4128 from the keypad 4. Draw a reference mark on the dish clamp and pipe mast as a starting point before you make any adjustments to the dish. To access this menu for DSR5xx, DSR207/209 and DSR317/319 model receivers, using remote 5.
If this LED light is RED it indicates NO SIGNAL is being received by the satellite receiver. The dish is not properly aligned to receive the Shaw Direct satellite signal. 9. Alternate Tuning Method Authorizing Receiver for Service If your receiver installer menu displays signal strength of between 80 and 90% and the satellite icon LED signal indicator on the receiver front panel is green, you have successfully aligned the dish to the Shaw Direct satellite. Congratulations! RECEIVER LNB Fig.
Step 7: While listening to the meter, apply gentle pressure to the top of the dish to move the dish – first slightly downward, then upward to see if you can increase the signal strength further. Carefully adjust the elevation until you’ve maximized the signal. Tighten the Elevation Adjustment Bolts. Step 8: Repeat Steps 2- 4 described in Fine Tuning (Section 8) to obtain the highest reading possible on the signal strength meter. Step 9: The dish should now be peaked to its maximum.
. Troubleshooting Problem #1: I’m having trouble finding the satellite signal. Try each of the following: • The cable can be plugged into any of the 4 available ports on the quad LNB, but must be plugged into the SAT IN port on the Shaw Direct receiver. • Make sure all cables are secure and re-verify your azimuth, elevation and skew setting for your location. Make sure the mast’s straight section is plumb.
Satellite Locator Chart Satellite Look angles are listed for both the 107.3W deg & 111.1W deg satellites. Use the settings for SAT B for dual satellite dish aiming. The reception of satellite signals in areas with a dish elevation less than 12 degrees may not be possible. Consult with your Shaw Direct retailer in your area. All information is listed in degrees.
