Check that there are no line-of-sight problems for the DIRECTV LNBs.2. Decide on the safest method for installing the kit.3. Use Table 3 to determine which side of the feed arm to attach the rail assembly to, and which mark defines the position of the LNBs on the rail assembly.4. Install the kit.5. Install the cables, using a multiswitch and, if necessary, a combiner. Run the cable from the multiswitch to the indoor unit (IDU) in the same manner as the DIRECWAY cable.6. If a fresh installation, peak the DIRECTV signal after peaking DIRECWAY. (The DIRECTV signal is also known as the broadcast s...7. Proceed to complete any other aspects of the installation, such as commissioning, confirming service, or site cleanup.Installation site checkThe 2 feed, rail assembly location, and LNB marksFigure 4: Feed arm side, facing the satellite reflectorTable 3: Rail assembly installation side and LNB marks99A/RightUse 2 feed818116.8B/Left142Use 2 feedInstalling the 2 feed1. If upgrading an existing installation, use a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the shroud screws.2. Remove the shroud from the feedhorn grooves and set it aside.3. Use a 3/16-inch Allen wrench to remove the two top clamp bracket Allen screws and any washers. See Figure 5.Figure 5: Remove top clamp bracket4. Remove the top clamp bracket.5. Locate the screw holes on the feedhorn. See Figure 6.6. Align the 2 feed screw holes with the holes in the feedhorn.7. Use a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver to install the three Phillips-head screws. See Figure 7. You cannot reach the fourth screw hole, so do not bother with the fourth screw.8. Replace the feedhorn in the feedhorn slot.9. Reinstall the top clamp bracket and the screws and washers.10. Use a 7/16-inch wrench to attach cables to the two LNB connectors.11. If an upgrade, replace the shroud in the feedhorn groove.12. Replace the shroud screws.Figure 6: Locate feedhorn screw holesFigure 7: Install three screwsInstalling the rail and LNBs on the feed arm1. Refer to Table 3 on page 7 to determine which side of the feed arm to install the rail.2. If you are installing the rail on the left side of the feed arm (left as you are facing the satellite reflector), orient the rail so that the BSS ¨Bˇ is right side up. See Figure 8.Figure 8: Rail orientation facing reflector, side BFigure 9: Proper orientation of mounting pad A3. If you are installing the 110 LNB, insert it into a feed clamp. See Figure 10.4. Align the feed clamp, spacer, and locking plate screw holes with the clamp screw holes.5. Use a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver to install the two Phillips pan head clamp screws into the aligned holes. Do not tighten the screws.6. Use a 7/16-inch wrench to install the coaxial cable on the LNB connector. Install the cable now because doing so after the rail is installed on the feed arm is awkward.Figure 10: Assembling LNB onto feed clamp assembly7. Slide the assembly onto the rail so that the locking plate goes inside the rail T-slot. See Figure 11.8. Position the LNB so that it is over the satellite alignment mark. The mark number can be read through the holes in the feed clamp. See Figure 12.9. Repeat the procedure for the other LNB.Figure 11: Slide clamp assembly onto rail; insert locking plate into T-slotFigure 12: Position LNB over satellite alignment mark10. Align the three mounting pad screw holes with the three holes on the feed arm. See Figure 13.11. Use a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver to install the three Phillips pan head screws in the feed arm holes. A complete installation looks like Figure 14.Figure 13: Install rail assembly on feed armFigure 14: Complete installationChapter 3Installing the combiner1. Locate the 110 LNB cable.2. Use a 7/16-inch wrench to connect the cable to the ¨Sat C Inˇ combiner port. See Figure 15.3. If the satellite at 99 provides DIRECWAY, connect one cable from the remaining LNB on the rail to the combiner ¨Sat B Inˇ port. See Figure 15.4. Connect a cable to the combiner ¨Out to Multiswitchˇ port. See Figure 15. This cable must be long enough to reach the multiswitch ¨Sat B In 18vˇ port.5. Proceed to Installing the multiswitch on page 17.Figure 15: Combiner connectionsInstalling the multiswitch1. Connect the cable attached to the combiner Out to Multisatellite port to the multiswitch Sat B In 18v port. See Figure 16.2. If the satellite at 99 provides DIRECWAY, connect the remaining cable from the remaining LNB on the rail to the multiswitch Sat B In 13v port. See Figure 16.3. If the satellite at 99 provides DIRECWAY, connect the 2 feed cables to the multiswitch ¨Sat A Inˇ ports. It does not matter which cable you connect to the ports. See Figure 16.Figure 16: Multiswitch ports4. Locate the multiswitch GND (ground).5. Loosen the GND screw. (Some grounds use a bolt and a nut.)6. Attach one end of the grounding wire to the GND screw.7. Tighten the GND screw.8. Run the ground wire down the back of the AZ/EL cap to the antenna mast base plate.9. Loosen the nut holding the 1/4-20 x 1/2-inch hex-head bolt installed in the grounding hole on the base plate. See Figure 17.10. Withdraw the bolt from the hole enough so that you can wrap the ground wire around it.11. Wrap the ground wire around the bolt between the star washer and the 1/4-inch washer. Then tighten the nut. You may need to supply the 1/4-inch washer.Figure 17: Grounding the multiswitchInstall cable, peak satellite signal, finish installationAppendix AWiring diagramsFigure 18: 116.8 DIRECWAY: 2 Feed, DTV/101 , and 110 Figure 19: DIRECWAY 116.8 : 2 Feed and DTV/101 Figure 20: 116.8 DIRECWAY: DTV 101 , one or two receiversFigure 21: 116.8 DIRECWAY: DTV 101 , up to four receiversFigure 22: 99 DIRECWAY: 2 Feed, DTV/119 , and 110 Figure 23: 99 DIRECWAY: 2 feed and DTV/119 Figure 24: 99 DIRECWAY: 2 Feed, one or two receiversFigure 25: 99 DIRECWAY: 2 feed, up to four receivers
