C band install

Answer: Are you want to install own C-band satellite system for receive Free to air Channels. Yes, you can do it yourself. You should know something about before installing dish. First of all you should know that which satellite you want track. For example if you have chooses Insat 4A then go to Satbeams. According to signals choose size of dish. Please note, wrong dish size can waste your time and money. Satellite receiver is important part of this system so be wise when you choosing Set-Top box.

Because most of channels are migrating to mpeg-4 and HD technology so you cheap box can be dead in future. Choose original pure copper cable which will not waste your signals.

I am adding a another 10 foot dish to the farm so I thought I would take a few pictures of the installation. Hopefully this will be of some help to those installing a dish for the first time. When I first started installing dishes many years ago, I simply dug a hole, stuck in the pipe and poured in some concrete like all the other dealers. Then a customer in the sign business, showed me a much better way.

I began using a base plate and threaded rod method. I feel this method has many advantages over pipe in concrete. I live in a very cold climate here in Canada where the frost can reach 6 feet in extreme winters. The hole was also approximately 7 feet and 12 inches square. I don't remember the rebar size, but it is not that critical anyway. I always weld the rebar to the threaded rod with the rods firmly bolted to the plate. Not the other way around. You will notice that I weld 2 cross braces to the threaded rod, which will help keep the rods aligned to the holes in the base plate.

I skipped this step on my first one and paid for it by having a plate that wouldn't fit on the rods that were already cemented in. Reactions: johnnynobody , c-spand , phlatwound and 1 other person.

I used fiberglass infused concrete with my KTI in addition to threaded L-rods custom made , and a 5 foot deep hole. Been working great for over 10 years. Reactions: stecle. FTA4PA said:. Here's another option which may work. Each edges of the dish from tripod stand usually measure in 1mm to the scaler ring. Make sure you use followed-come scaler ring, as the will make the C-band dish Installation easy with good signal quality.

The focal depth i. When installing prime focus dish antenna. It serves as adjustment for the C-band LNB to see the wide and to determine at what scale get high signal. To calculate the focal length, you need to measure the depth d and diameter D of the dish at the unit. The focal distance f equal to the square of diameter D x D divided by 16 times of the depth d.

One of the advantages of C-band LNB possessed the scale written on it to fine tune and determine focal depth. Polarity skew simply means fine tune the signal polarity from the starting point Zero to either vertical or horizontal. It can also be regarded as longitude and latitude adjustment as it enhance dish alignment. First of all, make sure the receiver is off from the wall socket. Now power on the receiver from the wall socket, allow the receiver to complete booting and wait for 10 seconds before you do anything.
