DANGER!!!
WATCH FOR WIRES! Installation of this product near power lines is dangerous.For your own safety ,follow these important safety rules.
1. Perform as many functions as possible on the ground.
2. Watch out for overhead power lines.Check the distance to the power lines before starting installation.We recommend
you stay a minimum of 6 meters (20 feet) from all power lines.
3. Do not use metal ladders.
4. Do not install antenna or mast assembly on a windy day.
5. If you start to drop antenna or mast assembly, get away from it and let it fall.
6. If any part of the antenna or mast assembly comes in contact with a power line, call your local power company.
DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE IT YOURSELF! They will remove it safely.
7. Make sure that the mast assembly is properly grounded.
WARNING!!!
Assembling dish antennas on windy days can be dangerous. Because of the antenna surface, even slight winds
create strong forces.For example, a 1.0m antenna facing a wind of 32 km/h (20 mph) can undergo forces of 269 N (60
lbs). Be prepared to safely handle these forces at unexpected moments.Do not attempt to assemble, move or mount a
dish on windy days or serious,even fatal accidents may occur .Channel Master is not responsible or liable for damage
or injury resulting from antenna installations.
SITE SELECTION
The first and most important consideration when choosing a prospective antenna site is whether or
not the area can provide an acceptable “look angle” at the satellites.A site with a clear, unobstructed view from a suitable
roof or wall facing south, southeast or southwest is required.Your antenna site must be selected in advance so that you will
be able to receive the strongest signal available.To avoid obstructions, it is important to conduct an on-site survey with a
portable antenna.
As with any type of construction, a local permit may be required before installing an antenna. It is the owner’s
responsibility to obtain any and all permits.
INTRODUCTION
This manual covers the installation of the Channel Master 1.0m
& 1.2m SMC antenna system with AZ/EL cap mount and
Ku-single polarity feed.
For best results in the assembly process, perform each step
in the same sequence as listed in this manual.
ASSEMBLY TOOLS REQUIRED
The following list of tools are those required for hand assembly and installation of the antenna.

1. When wind velocity exceeds 108 MPH on the .90m antenna at heights shown, the
ground pole must be a heavy wall pipe as f ollows:2” pipe (2³⁄₈” O.D .) Schedule 80
(.218”
wall thickness) and purchased locally.Field weld ¹⁄₄ x 1¹⁄₂ x 5 key as shown in
Fig.1.0
to prevent rotation in the concrete or use 3”O.D. ground pole and AZ/EL cap.
2. These charted values based on using Model 611652931 ground pole, 2.375 O.D. x
1.54 wall.When wind velocity exceeds 108 MPH, use 3”O.D .ground pole and AZ/EL
cap.
3. Pole and f oundation design based on the follo wing criteria:(a) Uniform Building Code
Exposure C and 1.5 stability factor , (b) Vertical soil pressure of 2000 pounds per square
foot, (c) Lateral soil pressure of 400 pounds per square foot, (d) Concrete compressive strength of 2500 pounds per square inc h in 28 days.
4. CAUTION - The foundation design shown does not represent an appropriate design
for any specific locality since soil conditions v ary and may not meet design criteria given
