Crestron SRD-ANT-1-PAK Antenna System
Pole Mounting
Attach the antenna to any pole (not larger than two inches in diameter) using the
U-bolt and saddle with supplied attaching hardware as shown in the following
figures.

Bracket
Mounting Hardware 2” DirecTV Pole
Saddle
1 ¾” Dish Network Pole
Hookup
After the antenna is mounted, refer to the illustration on page 1, connect cables,
adjust the antenna position, and finalize the installation as follows:
1. Connect an RG-6 coaxial cable (not supplied) not longer than 200 feet with
male F-connectors to the antenna. Provide a strain relief for the cable.
NOTE: For best results in all configurations, use quad-shielded RG-6 cable
whenever possible.
2. Using the supplied 3-foot F-Female to SMB adapter cable, connect the
RG-6 coaxial cable from the antenna to the radio’s antenna input.
3. Adjust the azimuth and elevation pointing of the antenna for best reception
using the antenna signal strength menu in the radio. The antenna has a beam
width of ± 25º, which is narrower than standard consumer-quality home-kit
antennas, but provides higher gain and rejection to multi-path interference.
The “Appendix”, which starts on page 8, lists exact magnetic azimuth
bearings and elevation pointing angles for many major cities throughout the
US and Canada.
4. Tighten all hardware and seal the outdoor connectors using the included
weather boot or other means to prevent moisture ingress.
Aiming the Antenna
Refer to the documentation supplied with the tuner/radio for information on
observing signal strength. Adjust the antenna as required to maximize the signal.
XM Reception
XM has two satellites located in fixed orbital positions in the southern sky (at 115°
W longitude and 85º W longitude). These satellites each carry all of the XM
