Descriptio
n
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 m
eter
shows it on the display and emits a audible signal. Signal strength and quality
are displayed as numerical values and bar graphs. Another measurem
ent
value is the forward error correction (FEC) and the bit error rate (BER). I
n
addition, the picture quality can be revised on the high-resoluted 3.5-inch
TFTLCD screen. Many satellites are pre-programmed in order to an quick
antenna adjustm
ent.
The scope of supply contains, among the charger, a USB cable which allow
s
you to update software
.
A carrying case serves as protection and for the transport. It cares f
or better
readability of the display at sunshin
e.
Safety instructi
ons
Attention!
Please read the safety instructions carefully before operati
ng
the devic
e.
Please follow all warnings and instructions on the equipm
ent
and in the operating manual
.
Safety of pers
ons
Ensure that nobody can be hurt by falling tools or parts of the satelli
te
antenna during the adjustment and installation of the antenna. For your o
wn
security use a rope on sloping roofs

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 ada
pter.
èConnect the external AC adapter to the power gri
d.
èConnect the AC adapter to the low-voltage port at the bottom
.
èThe battery is charged as soon as you connect the AC adapter to
the

Once a signal is found, the bar graph shows the signal strength and quality. In
addition C/N, FEC and a.BER (after BER) are displayed. In addition an
acoustic signal is represent
ed.
Notice!
The satellite call sign (see Figure 4) registers which satellite yo
u
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 an
d
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 distribut
ed
to several buyers
.
The higher the C/N value, the b
etter.
The BER value behind “10E” is important. The higher, the better. T
he
value should be minimal 10E-4. The optimum is > 10E-
6.

Notice!
The satellite call sign (see Figure 7) registers which frequency you

hence, the announcement can be falsified. Therefore, w
