DISH 500+ and DISH 1000+ are satellite antennas designed to receive digital television signals from multiple satellite locations. They are capable of receiving signals from 110°W, 118.7°W, and 119°W orbital locations, and the DISH 1000+ also supports the 129°W orbital location. Both utilize a reflector assembly and a separate DISH Pro LNBF kit. DISH 500+ can be paired with a DISH Pro 34 (DP34) or DISH Pro Plus 44 (DPP44) switch while DISH 1000+ requires a DPP44 switch. The DISH 1000+ LNBF Assembly is created by adding a bracket to mount a separate DP Dual or DP Single to the DP 500+ LNBF Assembly to support the 129°W orbital location.

Installation Instructions

Attention!

These installation instructions are intended for use by qualified professional

technicians due to the complexity of the installation and compliance to national/local building and electrical codes.

Overview

Your DISH 500+/DISH 1000+ antenna system consists of a reflector assembly and a separate DISH Pro

LNBF kit.

These instructions guide you through the installation of a DISH Network DISH 500+ and DISH 1000+ antenna. The DISH 500+ is capable of receiving digital television signals from three satellite locations:

110°W (DBS), 118.7°W (FSS), and 119°W (DBS). The DISH 1000+ is capable of receiving digital television signals from four satellite locations: 110°W (DBS), 118.7°W (FSS), 119°W (DBS), and 129°W

(DBS). These instructions cover wall mounting only. For other mounting options (for example, pole mounting, or non-penetrating mounting), see the Retailer Care Site at retailer.echostar.com.

Installation Considerations

While all DISH Network satellite receivers can be connected to the DISH 500+ or DISH 1000+, the following models cannot detect the 118.7°W or 129°W locations: 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, JVC-

DVHS (IRR), and the DishPlayer 7100/7200.

This installation supports Legacy receivers, but restrictions based on the connected switch must be followed. Refer to the Installation Instructions for the switch used in your installation. Legacy receivers are receivers which do not have the DISH Pro or DISH Pro Plus logo (shown below).

About the System

The DISH Pro 500+ LNBF Assembly provides reception from the 110°W, 118.7°W, and 119°W orbital locations. Use a DISH Pro 34 (DP34) Switch or DISH Pro Plus 44 (DPP44) switch with the DISH 500+.

The DISH Pro 1000+ LNBF Assembly provides reception from the 110°W, 118.7°W, 119°W, and 129°W orbital locations. Use a DPP44 switch with the DISH 1000+. The DP 1000+ LNBF Assembly is created by adding a bracket to mount a separate DP Dual or DP Single to the DP 500+ LNBF Assembly to support the

129°W orbital location.

Quick Installation Instructions

Figure 1: DISH 500+ and DISH 1000+ Antenna Installation Overview

1. Find Azimuth/Elevation/Skew angles for the DISH 500+ or DISH 1000+ and your location (instructions on page

3 and tables on page 9).

2. Find a location for the dish antenna with a clear line of sight and a sturdy mounting surface (page 3, step 1).

3. Mount the mast, making sure it is absolutely vertical (page 3, steps 2 and 3).

4. Assemble the dish antenna, setting the skew and elevation angles in the process (page 3, steps 4-6).

5. Mount the dish antenna on the mast and point the dish to the azimuth angle (page 3, step 7).

6. For DISH 1000+ only, attach the 1000+ LNBF bracket and a separate DP LNBF to the DP 500+ LNBF Assembly

(page 4, step 8).

7. Run cables between the dish antenna and the switch, and from the switch to the receiver(s) (page 5, step 1).

8. Using a peaking meter attached to the DISH Pro DBS/FSS Dual Band LNBF

P

test and confirm 110°W and 119°W reception (page 7, steps 9 and 10). You may or may not

see the 118.7°W or 129°W locations until steps 12 and 13, below, are completed.

12. Take a software download, if you didn’t already (page 7, step 11).

13. Run a

Check Switch

test and confirm 110ºW, 118.7ºW, 119°W, and 129°W (for DISH 1000+) reception (page 8,

step 12).

14. Fine-tune the adjustment of the dish on 118.7ºW using the receiver’s

Point Dish

screen. Confirm reception of

110°W and 119°W, and 129°W (for DISH 1000+) after fine-tuning (page 8, step 13).

15. Install any additional receiver(s), if necessary (page 6-8, steps 7-12).

Locating the Dish Antenna

Use the Dish Pointing Angles starting on page 9 to find the azimuth, elevation, and skew angles using the

ZIP code from your location. DISH 500+ and DISH 1000+ use slightly different peaking angles. Ensure you choose the correct set of angles for the dish you are installing. Write the angles in the space provided below.

Azimuth

:

Elevation

:

Skew

:

Using these azimuth and elevation angles, find a mounting location for the satellite dish, which can be pointed towards the satellites located at these angles. Use a compass and the azimuth angle to find the direction along the horizon that the dish should be pointed. Then use the elevation angle to find out how high the satellites are in the sky from your location. Make sure nothing blocks the line of sight between the dish and the satellites. Make sure this line of sight will not be blocked by future growth of nearby trees or other foliage. Also make sure your mounting location provides sufficient clearance to rotate the reflector as needed to point toward the satellites.

Assembling and Mounting the Dish

Follow these instructions to assemble the satellite dish, mount it, and point it in the direction of the satellites.

Using the azimuth and elevation angles, find a location for the satellite dish which can be pointed towards the satellites located at these angles. Make sure nothing blocks the line of sight between the dish and the satellites.

Mount the mast to a solid surface so that the dish antenna cannot move or be bumped out of adjustment. Keep in mind that physical and environmental conditions can block your satellite dish’s ability to receive a clear satellite signal. Never mount to a tree or a public utility pole.

Align the top part of the mast so that it is absolutely vertical. If the top part of the mast is off vertical by only a few degrees, it will be difficult or maybe even impossible for you to find the satellites. Take at least two readings with a level, on the upper mast, that are 90 degrees apart from one another (see

Figure 1).

Assemble the satellite dish as shown in Figure 1, except do not attach the LNBF Assembly at this time.

Loosen the four skew bolts and set the skew by rotating the dish mounting bracket to align the mark with the required angle on the skew scale which you wrote down above. Tighten the skew bolts securely to keep the dish from rotating. See Table 1 for the required torque values. After the skew is

set, do not try to fine-tune the skew angle when aiming the dish.

Set the elevation by loosening then tilting the dish mounting bracket to align the edge with the required angle on the elevation scale. Tighten the elevation bolts snugly to prevent movement.

Slide the dish assembly down onto the mast. Make sure the pivot bolt rests on the top of the mast and that the mast is fully inserted into the tab. Turn the dish assembly so that it points in the general direction of the satellites, using the azimuth angle you wrote above.

Page 3

For DISH 1000+ installations, attach a separate DP Dual (or DP Single) to the 1000+ LNBF bracket using the included washers and screws. Slide the bracket onto the DP 500+ LNBF Assembly. Place the nut into the retaining feature on the back of the assembly. Insert the screw from the front of the

assembly and tighten according to the torque value (see Table 1 on page 6) to attach the bracket. See

Figure 2.

Installing the Receivers

Use the steps below while referring to Figure 1 for this installation.

Run RG-6 coaxial cables between the dish antenna and the switch, and from the switch to the receiver location(s) using the following cable requirements. Account for grounding or other devices and in-home cabling.

• RG-6 coaxial cables rated for at least 950 to 2150 MHz must be used in this installation. Do not use existing cables such as RG-59. These other cables may cause signal loss. Also, be sure that any outdoor connections are made using waterproof F-connectors rated for 2150 MHz or greater.

• Follow the Installation Instructions included with the switch for cable length limitations.

The center conductor must not extend past the rim of the F-connector more than the thickness of a nickel.

Tighten all outdoor cable connections up to the recommended manufacturer torque value to ensure seal against moisture. Damage caused by over-tightening is not covered by the limited warranty.

Mount the LNBF Assembly on the antenna feed arm as shown on Figure 1 (see page 2).

Connect a temporary cable to a peaking meter. Connect the temporary cable to

Peak the dish for the strongest possible signal on the 119°W satellite signal using the azimuth and

elevation settings you wrote on page 3. Do not adjust the skew.

Note

: If you cannot find the 119°W signal, try adjusting the elevation up or down one or two degrees. Ensure you are peaking the dish using transponder 11 or higher.

With the peaking meter still connected, tighten the mast clamp and elevation bolts using the torque values listed in the following table. Re-confirm signal strength after tightening the bolts.

Radio Interference

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. this device may not cause harmful interference, and

2. this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Modifying this receiver may void your authority to use the equipment. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

If none of the remedies stops the radio interference, you should contact a licensed radio/television technician, your satellite deal or call the Customer Service Center at 1-800-333-3474, for assistance.

Frequently Answers and Questions

Can I use a legacy receiver with the DISH 500+ or DISH 1000+?
Yes, but restrictions based on the connected switch must be followed. Refer to the Installation Instructions for the switch used in your installation. Legacy receivers are receivers which do not have the DISH Pro or DISH Pro Plus logo.
How do I find the azimuth, elevation, and skew angles for my location?
Use the Dish Pointing Angles tables starting on page 9 to find the azimuth, elevation, and skew angles using the ZIP code from your location. Ensure you choose the correct set of angles for the dish you are installing. Write the angles in the space provided below.
What kind of cables should I use for this installation?
RG-6 coaxial cables rated for at least 950 to 2150 MHz must be used in this installation. Do not use existing cables such as RG-59. These other cables may cause signal loss. Also, be sure that any outdoor connections are made using waterproof F-connectors rated for 2150 MHz or greater.
What are the recommended torque values for tightening bolts?
Refer to Table 1 on page 6 for the recommended torque values for various locations, including the mast-foot pivot through bolt, mast-foot locking nuts, reflector mounting bolts, clamp locking bolts, clamp pivot through bolt, elevation adjustment locking nuts, skew adjustment locking nuts, feed arm to skew bracket, feed arm to DISH 500+ LNBF bracket, and LNB and bracket attachment hardware.
What type of switch should I use with the DISH 500+ and DISH 1000+?
The DISH Pro 500+ LNBF Assembly supports a DISH Pro 34 (DP34) Switch or DISH Pro Plus 44 (DPP44) switch while DISH 1000+ requires a DPP44 switch.
Where can I find additional mounting options for the antenna?
For other mounting options (for example, pole mounting, or non-penetrating mounting), see the Retailer Care Site at retailer.echostar.com.
