About Pivot Mount Starlink, As you may already know, Starlink installation has several conditions before you enjoy the internet.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, the dish has to be in an elevated position to keep it safe from animals and prevent obstructions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Secondly, it has to have at least 100 degrees of clear sky view for maximum signal reception. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the accessories that can help you achieve these conditions is the pivot mount. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this guide, we will discuss the pivot mount Starlink and how to install it to help you set up your network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A pivot mount is a Starlink accessory <\/a>suitable for mounting the antennae on a shingled roof<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n It features a predrilled base, which you mount on the roof, plus a straight pole for fixing the dish mast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The mount is perfect for patched and slanted roofs since it helps your dish face the sky while still angled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Once your pivot mount arrives, you can expect the following items from the box:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Depending on the installation surface, you may also need the following tools to help you complete the task:<\/p>\n\n\n\n A socket wrench<\/p>\n\n\n\n After you have gathered all the tools and materials necessary for the installation, it is time to check the following conditions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s now discuss the procedure you can use to install your pivot mount successfully:<\/p>\n\n\n\n As we said earlier, the dish requires a clear sky view to communicate effectively with the satellites in space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For this reason, ensure your installation area is free from obstructions. You may use the Starlink app to find a suitable position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, ensure the dish is far from any TV dishes or electrical mains to prevent signal interference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since you have the right installation location, you can now mark the necessary holes and drill them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, it would be best if you used a stud finder to ensure the hole position is away from the nails.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then, place the base of the pivot mount and trace its holes using a pencil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now insert the correct bit on the drill according to the screws and make the holes on the marking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00a0Finally, in this step, make balls from the sealing square. Use these balls to insert into the holes and place the sealing strip on top to seal them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Drilling holes on the roof<\/p>\n\n\n\n After that, hold the pivot mount firmly on the holes you made so they are directly above the surface holes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n While doing this, ensure the mount’s arrows point toward the roof ridges for proper installation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It would be best to use the lag nuts to fasten the mount in place. I would recommend fastening each lag nut about 90% first.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you place each nut in its hole, you can use the socket wrench<\/a> to fasten it tightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, you can adjust the pivot mount arm position to be about 5 degrees vertical. After that, use the knob to secure it tightly in position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The next step is to route the Starlink<\/a> ethernet cable through the wall and into the house.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n You should use the stud finder to ensure you do not interfere with plumbing and electrical systems when routing the cable.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Routing a cable on the wall<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this last step, carry the Starlink dish to the roof using the provided carrying bag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Once there, insert the dish mast properly on the installed pivot mount. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
