Description
The Satellite meter is a handy digital antenna measuring device for an quick
and easy alignment of satellite antennas. If a satellite is found, the meter
shows it on the display and emits a audible signal. Signal strength and quality
are displayed as numerical values and bar graphs. Another measurement
value is the forward error correction (FEC) and the bit error rate (BER),
Modulation error rate(MER),In addition, the picture quality can be revised on the
high-resoluted 4.3-inch TFT LCD screen. Many satellites are pre-programmed in
order to an quick antenna adjustment.
The scope of supply contains, among the charger, an USB connector which allows
you to update software.
A carrying case serves as protection and for the transport. It cares for better
readability of the display at sunshine.
Safety instructions
Attention!
Please read the safety instructions carefully before operating
the device.
Please follow all warnings and instructions on the equipment and
in the operating manual.
Safety of persons
Ensure that nobody can be hurt by falling tools or parts of the satellite
antenna during the adjustment and installation of the antenna. For your own

SM8800

security use a rope on sloping roofs.
General information
Attention!
The devise should only be operated with the supplied AC
adapter at the mains.
Do not open the meter or the included AC adapter. There is
danger of life through electric shock!
Wrong usage of the ports can lead to the destruction of the
measuring device.
Proceed carefully with the measuring device:
Avoid low temperatures (below 0 °C) or to high humidity.
The TFT display can be damaged by mechanical impacts.
Avoid excessive input voltages.
Do not operate with the device:
if it has visible damage,
if there are loose parts in the device,
if the device was located outdoors or in damp rooms a extended period of time.
Appropriate Usage
The measuring device meter was developed to measure signals of
digital satellite antennas and satellite systems. It is exclusively for this purpose
and should only be used for this purpose. Use the equipment only for the
purpose, which is described in this manual.
Follow all information in this manual, particularly the safety instructions on
page 4
Any other usage is rated as not properly and can result in damage or even injury.
There will be no liability for damages caused by a non-intended use.

Start of operation
Battery
Before the first operation with the measuring device charge the battery completely. (see also
chapter “Lithium-Ion battery” on page 10).
Load the accumulator during the first loading procedure at least 5
hours.
The maximum battery charging time is approximately 12 hours.
Switch-on the Device
ðPress 2-3 seconds the red power button on the meter.

Explosion danger!
Never the two poles (+ and -) connect with each other!
Attention!
Storing or operating accumulator no more than 40° C.
Not burning or damaging accumulator.
Not taking accumulator to contact with water.
Charging the battery
The maximum battery charging time is approximately 12 hours.
A charging circuit in the measuring device provides an optimal charge of the
battery. The device is charged if it is switched off.
èTurn the device off, if it is not already off.
èConnect the Euro-main cable with the external AC adapter.
èConnect the external AC adapter to the power grid.
èConnect the AC adapter to the low-voltage port at the bottom.
èThe battery is charged as soon as you connect theAC adapter to the
meter
The Power-LED shows the battery status:
Red: the battery is charged
Green: the battery is completely loaded
Storing of the batteries
Storing the batteries between 0° Celsius and 40° Celsius.
Loading the accumulator at a longer storage every two weeks to
avoid a depth discharge.

Lining satellite aerial up
-> Press the FIND button to display the menu satellite finding.
ðChoose a satellite.
ðTurn the receiving dish as long as the LOCK- LED lights, or the joists of the signal level
and signal quality are green.
Once a signal is found, the bar graph shows the signal strength and quality. In addition C/N,
FEC and a.BER ,MER) are displayed. In addition an acoustic signal is represented.
Notice!
The satellite call sign (see Figure 4) registers which satellite you
receive at the moment. At some satellites, as for example "Türksat",
a wrong satellite call sign is cosent on single transponders, hence,
the announcement can be falsified. Therefore, we recommend to
leave the setting on the preset first transponder with the search of a
satellite. Therefore the right satellite call sign is indicated in general
always.
ðSet up the satellite antenna exactly to receive the best signal.
Notice!
The C/N value should amount 6dB at least. Values of 10dB and more
are urgently if you liked to have a certain bad weather reserve. Or in
the case if the signal about a multicounter should be distributed to
several buyers.
The higher the C/N value, the better.
The BER value behind “10E” is important. The higher, the better.
The value should be minimal 10E-4. The optimum is > 10E-6.
