Multifunctional Signal Meter
QUICK START GUIDE
Interfaces
1. BATTERY ON/OFF switch (sometimes called as Main Switch) is for
battery disconnection.
2. DC Input 10...19V is the external supply for the battery charge and
power supply to Meter in the active mode
3. HDMI out for TV connection.
4. AV out for CVBS + Mono Audio connection to old style TV.
Also, works as RS232 port when special cable is connected.
5. “LNB” connector. Antenna cable connects here. LNB in satellite mode,
also terrestrial TV antenna and active antenna are connected here (only in
Combo model).
6. AV in / 12V. Input for CCTV cameras and CVBS (video+audio).
7. USB socket for software and settings updates / backups (USB stick is
required). Also, the Dr.HD USB Wi-Fi dongle can be used here.
Battery
The Multifunctional Satellite Meter is equipped with a high quality Li-Ion
battery, which allows you to work off-grid for a long enough period. For better
efficiency and longer usage, we recommend that you Switch off the battery
with main switch to prevent self-discharge when the Meter is not used.
Working time heavily depends on LNB loading, polarization mode and
temperature. Remember that shorter working is achieved in cold environment,
and also when horizontal polarization is used on Universal LNB. So, switch to
Vertical Polarization (13V) whenever convenient. Also, Motorised Dish
installation drains battery quickly when motor is powered from Meter. Average
working time is around 3 hours for typical 100mA universal LNB at room
temperatures (25 C, 75F).
IMPORTANT: The Meter is guaranteed to work only with original Dr.HD
battery. Using of unapproved by Dr.HD batteries can damage the meter and
voids the warranty. Please ask authorized dealer/distributor of Dr.HD if you
ever need to change battery.
Battery Charge and Power Supply
To charge the Meter, connect external power supply, switch the Main
Switch to ON position and make sure that the Meter is in the main menu
(battery symbol on display). If all is done correctly, the display will show a
charging battery symbol and the "Battery" LED will become RED. When
battery charge is finished, the LED will change color to GREEN. If battery
switch is in OFF position and PSU is connected, you will see LED flashing
red/green continuously. After opening a new Meter –fully charge it for few
hours, until LED is green.
When the Meter is powered by internal battery, the display will show the
battery charge status in percents. The same symbol can be found as an icon in
other menu pages. It helps the operator to understand how much time
remains.
NOTE: the working time depends on consumed current. Therefore, the
remaining percentage value displayed may change significantly in a short time,
when power consumption is substantially changing.
Charge is going, around 60% is done
Charge was well done, 100%
WARNING!
We have tried to make our Meter as user-friendly as possible. We made it
possible to charge from any satellite STB, if needed. However, there are
important limitations, which you should know about.
1. Please, charge or work from stabilized Power Supply Unit providing
from 12 to 15 volts, with current no less than 1A and no more than 2A. We
recommend to use ONLY the Dr.HD PSU (12V, 2A) that we provide with the
Meter. Also, you can charge from the DC car charging cable that we provide.
2. If main battery is flat (low), you can work with the the Dr.HD PSU
(12V, 2A) that we provide with the Meter. But, in case of short-circuit in the
LNB cable, the Meter won’t be able to show the red warning message about
over-current, instead it will reboot to protect itself. This kind of reboot is normal,
it is for protection. Please check your LNB cable immediately and find a reason
for over-current.
3. If necessary, you can charge from the LNB IN port of any Satellite
receiver. To avoid over-heating, remember to switch the receiver to any
transponder with Vertical polarisation, so the receiver provides 13 Volts to the
cable. This is important.
4. NOTE: If necessary, it is possible to work from any satellite
receiver’s power (13V, vertical), but we do not recommend to work on STB
power, because STB supplies only 500mA power and it won’t be enough
power to safely run the Twin/Quad/Unicable LNB, etc.
5. The safest operation is always from the internal battery. Please,
use it whenever possible.
6. Using other Power Supply Units, except provided by Dr.HD (12V,
2A) is prohibited, especially if the PSU units are providing more than 2A power.
These power supply units could be not stabilized, not filtered, not protected
and simply dangerous to use. The warranty does not cover use with such
PSUs.

CCTV mode
NOTE! The CCTV mode will be enabled automatically, when you insert the
special CCTV-cable into the AV IN connector. After this, CCTV camera will get
6…11V power supply from the main battery (voltage depends on mode of
work, and normally it is enough to test-power the CCTV cameras), and the
display will show the video picture from Camera, and audio will play on the
built-in speaker. The CCTV power output has shortcut protection. This mode
supports the analogue CCTV with CVBS PAL/NTSC color system and mono
audio.
IMPORTANT! The CCTV mode is a power-saving mode! Therefore, to
return back from CCTV mode, you must reboot the Meter! Unplug PSU
from Meter (if was connected) turn the main switch to "OFF" then "ON".
Remote control unit (RCU)
Using RCU is one more way to control the Meter, especially in the Set-Top
Box mode. We did our best to make RC as easy as possible and user-friendly
for all potential customers.
Firmware USB update
We are continuously improving the Dr.HD™ 1000S+ / 1000Combo
software, adding new functions, in order to provide the best functional and
convenient product for our customers.
User can find information about firmware of Meter. To do this, go to Menu -
>System Settings –> Software Manager .
How to update firmware:
1. Download the latest version of firmware at official Website:
WWW.DR-HD.COM .
2. Unzip files to the root folder of the USB stick. Firmware files have
“ssu” extension.
3. Connect the USB stick to Meter.
4. Be sure that Meter’s battery has 20% charge or more ,
otherwise connect PSU, to prevent update failures with power off reason.
5. Select Menu ->System Settings –> Software Manager- >Upgrade,
press OK.
6. Select ssu or xml file for updating, and press Ok to start update.
You will see pop up warning messages and running progress bar. The
update requires not too much time, within 2-3 minutes. Do not do anything
during that time. After successful update finder will reboot by itself and will
enter the main menu.
NOTE: NEVER touch the main switch or disconnect PSU when doing
software update or downloading the XML files.
Follow us for new SW updates for more functions and other upgrades! You
can check our official site, but better idea is to follow us on FaceBook, also
there are YouTube videos that may help you.
Database editor and settings USB update
The Meter has simple embedded satellite+transponder database editor. It
helps to insert some changes in settings in any moment of installation. For
example, you can change polarization of transponder, you can add new
transponders, etc.
For bigger changes it is wiser to use your PC. In this case, you can record
the satellites.xml and terrestrial.xml database files to the USB stick and
downloaded to Meter from USB.
How to update settings:
1. Download database files at the official site: WWW.DR-HD.COM .
2. Unzip files to the USB stick’s root folder. The setting database
files always have “xml” extension.
3. Connect the USB stick to the Meter.
4. Be sure that Meter’s battery has 20% charge or more ,
otherwise connect PSU, to prevent update failures with power off reason.
5. NOTE! The sequence of downloading is critical. Satellites.xml
must be downloaded before terrestrial.xml and they should be download
together (one right after another) always. Call Menu ->System Settings –>
Software Manager- >Upgrade, press OK.
6. In simple file manager select xml file and press Ok to start update.
You will see pop up warning messages and running progress bar.
Attention! Embedded database has memory limitations:
Maximal satellite items count is 61.
Maximal transponder items count is 2000.
Maximal terrestrial band count is 3 for 1000Combo (VHF I/II, VHF III
иUHF) and 1 for 1000S+ (UHF only).
Maximal satellite name length is 15 Latin symbols
Editing the Database on PC.
Some customers may like editing the Database on PC. In this case, you
can edit the XML file with some editor able to work with XML files.
Then, the edited file can be recorded to USB drive and downloaded to
Meter. But
REMEMBER TO RESPECT the maximal satellite and transponder counts,
as above.
