DISH Pro & DISH Pro Plus Installation Considerations
Rev. 03/28/05
LNBFs AND SWITCHES
• DISH Pro LNBFs work with DISH Pro Plus switches. The DISH Pro Plus Twin functions the same as a
DISH Pro Twin LNBF when connected to any DISH Pro Plus switch.
• Legacy LNBFs and switches can not be used with DISH Pro or DISH Pro Plus LNBFs and switches.
• The maximum recommended cable length is 200 feet from the LNBFs to the furthest DISH Pro or
DISH Pro Plus receiver (150 feet for Legacy receivers).
• When mounting switches, position according to instructions on the label.
• Use drip loops to direct water away from F-connectors.
LEGACY RECEIVER INSTALLATIONS
• The DISH Pro Adapter must be used to connect any Legacy satellite receivers to a DISH Pro LNBF or
Switch.
o Legacy Receivers include:
Models 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000
Models 2700/2800/3700, 3800/3900, 4700/4900, 6000 (SuperDISH compatible)
DISHPlayer Models 7100, 7200
All OEM-equivalent models (e.g. RCA, JVC, Phillips)
• The DISH Pro Adapter is NOT needed when a Legacy receiver is directly connected to a
DISH Pro Plus LNBF or Switch.
DISH PRO PLUS (DP PLUS) RECEIVERS
DP Plus receivers can be connected with a single cable to DP Plus switches or LNBFs when used with a
DP Plus Separator. See the “Receiver LNBF/Switch Compatibility Chart” for details.
SINGLE-CABLE, DUAL-TUNER INSTALLATIONS
• Three DISH Pro Plus components must be connected together for this type of installation:
o DISH Pro Plus LNBF or Switch
o DISH Pro Plus Separator
o DISH Pro Plus (dual-tuner) receiver
• Two single-tuner receivers cannot be connected to a DP Plus Separator – they are not DISH Pro Plus
receivers.
INSTALLATION MATERIALS
Materials used in a DISH Pro or DISH Pro Plus installation must be rated to 2150 MHz and pass
DiSEqC 22 KHz tone. These materials include:
• RG-6 cable • Line amps
• Ground blocks • Barrel connectors
• Diplexers • Wall plates
• Splitters • Surge protectors
DISH Network Retailers, please refer to the latest “DISH Pro Approved Accessories List” located on the
Retailer Care Site.
