This document provides instructions for installing a parabolic antenna, including choosing a location, mounting the wall bracket, attaching the dish to the bracket, pointing the dish toward a satellite, running cables, and fine-tuning the signal strength. Key steps include finding an unobstructed location facing the desired satellite, drilling holes and securing wall mounts, screwing the dish assembly to the bracket while leaving some screws loose for adjustment, using apps or websites to identify the target satellite, connecting cables from the dish to the receiver, and adjusting the dish position for optimal signal quality.

INSTALLATION

2. PARABOLIC ANTENNA (DISH)
INSTALLATION
A parabolic antenna is an antenna that uses a parabolic
reflector, a curved surface with the cross-sectional shape
of a parabola, to direct the radio waves.
The most common form is shaped like a dish and is
popularly called a dish antenna or parabolic dish.

7. Installing the wall mount
First of all, you have to find an appropriate location. Take
into account these two requirements:
 The location must allow the correct orientation of the
dish to the satellite. Use the compass.
 There can not be any obstacles between the dish and
the satellite.

8. Cont…….
Take the "L" wall mount, and attach it to the wall
manually. Mark the positions of the future holes on the
wall.
Now, drill the four holes. Be careful choosing a
appropriate diameter. The ideal depth for the holes is
about 0,5 cm + wall plug length.

9. Cont…….
 Put the four fixings in their holes, and use the hammer
and the chisel to fix them.

10. Cont……..
 Now take the "L" wall mount, and screw it to the
fixings. Don't forget the washers.

11. Installing the dish
 The installation process will vary depending on the
brand and model of the dish.
Mount it all, including the LNB, and screw it on tightly,
except the screws that are marked in red. You will need to
turn and move the dish to orientate it correctly.

12. Pointing the dish to a satellite
 Which satellite should you point the dish to?
It depends. You should visit Lyngsat website to find out
what satellite is the most interesting for you.
Also you can use SATELLITE FINDER APP, for Android
in order to search for an appropriate satellite .
Then interface it with your decoder.

13. Wiring
Cut the cable insulation as described in the following
figure

14. lastly
Connect two "F" connectors, on both ends of the cable.
Connect one end to the LNB of the dish and the other
one to the receiver.
Now it is time for the fine-tuning. Turn on the digital
satellite receiver, choose the name of the satellite and
look for the option that tells you the signal strength and
quality. Then, move the dish slightly until you get the
best signal quality and strength.
