1.

Disconnect the coax from the LNBF and connect it to the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“To RCVR” jack on the SF-1000.

 

 

 

 

 

2.

Plug in receiver and turn power on.

 

 

 

 

 

3.

Set receiver to the signal strength screen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note: See your Operators manual for your brand of receiver.

 

 

 

 

 

4.

Enter the local zip code in the appropriate area and note the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

azimuth and elevation angles that are displayed.

 

 

 

 

 

5.

Adjust the knob on the SF-1000 so the meter indicates

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

between 3 and 4.

 

 

 

 

 

6.

Connect one end of the supplied jumper coax to the “FROM

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LNBF” jack on the SF-1000 and the other end to the LNBF.

 

 

 

 

 

7.

Adjust the antenna to the azimuth and elevation angles that

 

5-5/8"

 

 

 

 

were determined in Step 4.

 

 

 

 

 

8.

Very slowly adjust the dish up and down and left and right

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

until the meter reaches 10 on the scale.

 

 

 

 

 

9.

Observe the signal strength meter of the receiver on the TV

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

screen to verify that the right satellite has been located.

 

 

 

 

 

 

10. If the right satellite was NOT located, readjust coarse

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

settings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

11. If the right satellite was located, set the adjustment knob on

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the SF-1000 back to 5 and continue peaking the dish.

 

 

 

 

 

 

12. As you reach 10 each time you peak the dish, move the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

adjustment knob back to 5 and continue until you can no

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

longer improve the signal strength.

 

 

 

 

 

 

13. Unplug the receiver from its power source.

 

 

 

 

 

 

14. Without disturbing dish position, disconnect coax from LNBF.

 

 

 

 

 

 

15. Disconnect coax from the “TO RECEIVER” jack on the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SF-1000 and connect this coax to the LNBF.

 

 

 

 

 

 

16. Restore power to the receiver.

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE: DO NOT adjust the “SENS ADJUST” on the back of the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SF-1000.
