Installation of 1.8 meter Satellite Dish with NPRM

Location of the 1.8 m Satellite Dish

• Some important things to take into account when placing you satellite Dish.

• Location of POE (Point of Entry)• Location of steel beams• Location for the Satellite Receiver

Location of POE

Location of Steel beams

This photo indicates the location of the post and steel beams close to the POE.The POE is within 6 feet of this Post which will give great support for this 1.8 meter Satellite Dish.

Location of Satellite Receiver

Server Room and Satellite Receiver Room. This picture indicates location of power outlets for the equipment.


This picture shows the beam structure above for running in the Dual Coax cable from the satellite dish.It also shows the direction the cable will run towards the satellite dish.


This pictures shows the direction the cable will be run to the satellite dish.

Building the 1.8 m Satellite Dish

• Layout your materials so it is easy to find the parts.

• Layout your you parts to form your non penetrating mount (NPRM).

• Lay down your rubber mats under your NPRM.• Tighten all your bolts.• Place your concrete blocks within your NPRM.


Lay out of boxes of materials.


Layout your parts to the NPRM, install rubber mats, and tighten the bolts.


Insert the concrete blocks into the NPRM for support for holding down the satellite dish. This mount should have been 8 blocks each side.

Installation of Satellite Dish

• Install the post mount on the mast of the NPRM.

• Install the dish to the post mount.• install the horizontal and vertical adjustments

for the dish.• Install the support arms to the dish and support

arm for the ODU.


• Install the ODU on the support arm.• Tighten all the bolts to the supports arms and

support arm for the ODU.

Installation of the Dual RG-6 Cable

• Install cable up as high as possible – q-deck.• Service loops at POE, satellite dish and direct

indoor unit (DIU).• Cable tied neat with UV tie wraps outside and

tie wraps inside.• Seal RG-6 Connectors on the ODU with rubber

tape then wrapped with black tape.• Tag RX with red tape and TX with blue tape.
