The Digital Satellite Meter Advantage
This portable satellite meter is used for identification of broadcasts throughout the world. The satellite meter is essential equipment where precise satellite identification is crucial - especially true in digital (DVB/DSS) transmission set-up in both the C band and Ku band ranges. Using the satellite meter, with easy adjustment and calibration the local installer can perform more accurate dish alignment quickly leading to fewer callbacks.
The satellite meter is programmable, user friendly and ideal for installation of VSAT, internet-over-satellite systems as well as the digital television antenna. Analyzing the data stream the satellite meter gives precise identification of the satellite desired and ignores any others in the arc.
Offering DiSEqC compatibility, positive satellite identification, and pinpoint accuracy. All-new digital satellite meter! used by professionals to make the installation of DBS satellite antennas and VSAT antennas much easier and faster.
With the advent and spectacular growth of digital satellite TV and two-way
satellite Internet services, there is a need for a tool to make dish installation quick and accurate, ensuring cost-effective operations to the installer. This the tool that professionals use. It has replaced the Channel Master 1009IFD.
It has been designed and tested to withstand the demands of use in challenging circumstances. The ABS cased meter is supplied with a shock absorbent case to help protect it from the elements and any unavoidable knocks and bumps in the field. The case has an ergonomically angled screen that maximizes visibility and enables hands-free use when the neck strap is worn.
The meter is operated using a three button control panel and the vital tasks can be completed with one hand.
Information is shown on a four line, LCD panel with backlight, giving readings of both Signal Strength and Picture Quality (BER) together. On the latest model the BER can be shown as an exact number or as a bar graph that shows rise and fall. Other main features are:

Easy selection and identification of chosen satellite
Compatible with all transmissions: Ku and C band DVB and DSS
Can be calibrated to suit local BER & Signal Strength conditions
Four line display of the vital information.
Picture quality measurement to maximize the accuracy of both cross-polarity and pointing accuracy.
Removable 'F' connector
Removable NiMH high-capacity battery
Recharge in the field using car lighter adapter.
LNB short circuit protection
LNB power supply
Alignment to the correct satellite first time, every time.
Control of 22kHz and DiSEqC-type switches.
Simple use with a three-button control panel.
Robust and lightweight. The unit weighs less than one kilo (2.2 lbs)
