INSTALLING A DISHPRO DISH 500 SYSTEM
The following instructions are for installing a DishPro receiver in a
system with a DishPro Twin LNBF. If you are installing a multi-dish
system, you will need to follow these instructions and then the
instructions that begin on page 72. If you are installing a DISH 500 with
Legacy LNBFs (with no DishPro logo), go to Installing a DISH 500
Legacy System beginning on page 79.
Important: You cannot use DishPro LNBFs and switches (those marked
with the DishPro logo) with Legacy switches and LNBFs (those without
the DishPro logo). You must install your DISH antenna system with
either all DishPro LNBFs and switches or all Legacy LNBFs and
switches. If you mix the two, the system will not work.
Note: If you are installing a DishPro receiver into a system with DishPro
LNBFs (and/or switches), you can have as much as 200 feet of cable
between the LNBF and the receiver. However, you must use only RG-6
coaxial cables rated for 950 to 2150 MHz. Some cables may say "Swept
tested for 2150 MHz." If you have any doubt about this, ask your DISH
retailer, or look on the container the cable came in. Do not use cable
company TV cables or cables from other satellite TV systems not rated
for 950-2150 MHz. These other cables may cause signal loss. Do not use
existing cables such as RG-59. Also, be sure that any outdoor connections
are made using waterproof F-connectors.
