DIY Installation Guide
The Triple LNBF plate is designed to be used on systems receiving Optus D1 at 160E, C1 /D3 at 156E and D2 at 152E.
It is specifically designed to suit Gospell and other brands of vertically mounted LNBF’s as the fixing point is actually the F Connector which passes through the mounting plate and is fixed with an F connector nut and washer to the plate its self.

This style of plate is suitable for use with Ku dish types larger than 75cm in diameter. This means it will work on 75cm, 80cm 90cm, 1m, 1.2m and 1.8m
Mounting the dish
It is essential when mounting the dish, to have the pole or mount that the dish is attached perfectly vertical .If the mount it is not vertical then the method of receiving three satellites will not operate correctly.
Steps required mounting JX TRI LNBF system
1) Mount the LNBFs in the holder as shown in the picture.
2) Do not over tighten the “F” connector nuts or you will destroy the LNBF
3) Make sure the F connectors are pointing down wards with the LNBF body facing upwards.
4) Connect your signal meter to the centre LNBF and a-line your dish to the Optus C1 /D3satellite A signal above (75 dBuV is acceptable). TP 12407GHz. If your meter is the Squawker type peak for maximum signal.
5) This will work on Optus D3 as the FSS frequency configuration is 12.250 to 12.750 for New Zealand.
6) Connect your signal meter to the left hand LNBF and move the LNB upward for maximum signal on D2 (about 30 to 40 degrees from horizontal). ( 70 /73 dBuV output is acceptable.
7) Connect your signal meter to the right hand LNBF and move the LNB upward for maximum signal on D1 (about 30 to 40 degrees from horizontal). (70/73 dBuV output is acceptable

DiSEqC Switch installation
Due to there being three outputs a four way DiSEqC switch will be required.
We recommend Optus D1 be connected to Input port 1 or A ,Optus C1 to Input 3 or C and Optus D2 to input port 2 or B.
It is recommended that the satellite receiver be switched off whilst connecting the LNBFs and DiSEqC switch. Damage can be caused to the DiSEqC switch if this directive is ignored. See related story on DiSEqC switches in our technical information section.
The Satellite receiver configuration is usually set so that
Optus D1 is DiSEqC port 1, Optus C1 is DiSEqC port 3, Optus D2 is DiSEqC port 2
