Overview
The digital Satfinder is microprocessor controlled, making it very reliable and accur ate. Signal strength is presented graphically on the LCD-display in form
of thermometer-scales and in numbers (0-99). It can also present pitch tones (the higher tone the better signal) on a buzzer. The digital Satfinder is very
sensitive and can detect the weakest of signals, strong incoming signals (powerfull satellite, big dishes ) can easily be attenuated for better readout.

4. Buzzer Control Key
5. LED Backlight Control Key
6. ATT Increasing Key
(If the incoming signal is too strong, (the thermometer-scales
shows max and the signal strength value shows 99) it can
easily be attenuated by enabling this attenuation function, it
reduces the incoming signal to a lower level. There are four
step attenuation totally.)
7. ATT Reducing Key (The function is contrary to above item)
8. LCD Graphic Display
(It can display various measured parameters for the function
you selected. It has LED Backlight which user can freely turn
on or turn off.)
9. Adjustable knob
1. Switch the satellite receiver on, the digital SATFINDER will turn on by itself.
2. Set your dish to the proper azimuth and elevation settings.(The information should be supplied with your satellite dish ).
3. Adjust the knob until the signal strength display at 0%(the critical point).
4. Peak the signal by slowly moving the azimuth and elevation of your dish.The higher values, the better signal. If the digital SATFINDER‘s reading becomes
full scale, you can adjust the ATT to reduce the incoming signal to a lower level. Continue to move the dish until you have the highest possible meter
reading and the highest possible buzzer pitch.
5. Remove the jumper cable and digital SATFINDER, and reconnect the LNB/LNBF to your receiver.
1. To avoid a continuous full scale reading, do not use the digital
SATFINDER directly in front of the dish.
2. When using a LNB with gain higher than 60dB, insert a 5dB at-
tenuator between the LNB/LNBF and the digital SATFINDER. In
case no satellite receiver is at hand a 13-18V DC power supply
with F-connector can be connected on the Receiver side of
the digital SATFINDER to power the SATFINDER. • Under the following test condition:LNB gain =55dB, the carrier C/N=15dB.
• Insert a 5dB attenuator when operating with LNB gain =60 65dB.
