Installing a Legacy DISH 500 System
Note: If you cannot find the signal, turn the dish back to the original
azimuth setting. Then, loosen both elevation bolts just enough to be
able to tilt the dish. Tilt the dish up by two degrees, and then tighten
both bolts. Now, try turning the dish back and forth again. Repeat
these steps, raising and lowering the elevation, until you find the
satellite signal.
9. Once you have a signal, turn the dish assembly back and forth very
slightly until the signal strength bar displays the strongest possible
signal strength. Tighten the mast clamp bolts. Then, loosen the
elevation bolts and adjust the elevation of the dish up and down
slightly until the signal strength bar displays a strong signal. Do not
adjust skew. Tighten all the bolts in the dish assembly so that the dish
cannot be moved.
10. When you have the strongest possible signal, press the Cancel
button on the remote to exit the Point Dish/Signal menu. The
receiver displays an Attention message asking whether the
installation is complete. If the answer is yes, select the Yes option.
The receiver will begin taking a software upgrade. You will see a
Warning that “Vital program information will now be downloaded
into your receiver.” You will also see a status bar showing the
progress of this upgrade.
11. Once the software upgrade is complete, you will see a message that
your receiver’s memory is being upgraded.
While this message is displaying, the green power light on the
receiver’s front panel will blink. Do not disturb the receiver while the
green light is blinking.
This message may disappear, your screen may go blank for a few
minutes, and the green light may continue to blink. This is normal
and does not indicate a problem with the receiver.
12. Connect the “119” cable from the LNBF to the Dish 1 connection on
the multi-dish switch. Connect the “110” cable from the LNBF to the
Dish 2 connection the multi-dish switch. Connect a cable from the
multi-dish switch to the Satellite In port on the receiver’s back
panel.
Two dual LNBFs and two
SW21 multi-dish switches
