SAT-2150 Satellite Meter

• About the SAT-2150 Satellite Meter
• The SAT-2150 simplifies satellite dish
  installation and allows precise alignment of the
  dish.
• The meter measures digital satellite signal
  level, bit error rate, and carrier-to-noise ratio
  to confirm a quality signal.

SAT-2150 Satellite Meter

• About the SAT-2150 Satellite Meter
• The positive signal lock feature prevents the
  meter from displaying a signal quality level
  unless the correct satellite has been targeted.
• The SAT-2150 does not require a connection to a
  receiver or television to align the satellite
  dish.

SAT-2150 Satellite Meter

• About the SAT-2150 Satellite Meter
• The SAT-2150 is preconfigured with a list of
  commonly used satellites in North America.
• The SAT-2150 displays dish elevation and azimuth
  settings for each stored satellite configuration.
• Up to 80 satellite configurations can be stored
  in the SAT-2150s memory.

• The Following Functions can be Performed with the
  SAT-2150
• The SAT-2150 calculates the elevation, azimuth,
  and polarity for the dish for each satellite,
  based on the dishs latitude and longitude.
• The SAT-2150 checks the signal level from the
  selected satellite.

SAT-2150 Satellite Meter

• The Following Functions can be Performed with the
  SAT-2150
• The features in the SAT-2150 allow for dithering
  (fine-tuning) of the dish.
• The SAT-2150 measures the bit error rate of the
  satellite signal.
• The carrier-to-noise ratio of the signal is
  measured.
• The SAT-2150 allows setup of dishes with multiple
  LNBs.

• Elevation, Azimuth, and Polarity Calculations
• Enter the latitude and longitude of the installed
  dishs location into the SAT-2150.
• Note Several websites can provide latitude and
  longitude values for specific street addresses.
• From the Utility screen, press the FIND key.

• Elevation, Azimuth, and Polarity Calculations
• Use the UP/DOWN keys to select the desired
  satellite.
• Press the F4 key to display the Orientation
  screen.

9
SAT-2150 Satellite Meter

• Elevation, Azimuth, and Polarity Calculations
• In the Orientation screen, the values displayed
  will be correct for the azimuth (AZ), elevation
  (EL), and polarity (PO) for the selected
  satellite, relative to the location of the dish
  installation.
• Note Record these settings. They will be used
  in the next step.
• Press the F4 key to display the Signal screen.

• Measuring the Signal Level
• Adjust the dish to the previously recorded
  elevation and azimuth values so the displayed
  signal (S) and quality (Q) levels are at their
  maximum.
• The SAT-2150 will display OK on the screen to
  indicate it has locked onto the signal.

11
SAT-2150 Satellite Meter

• Dithering the Satellite Dish
• Using the fine-tuning bolts on the dish assembly,
  adjust the dish in the vertical plane to achieve
  the best possible signal level (S).
• Using the fine-tuning bolts on the dish assembly,
  adjust the dish in the horizontal plane to
  achieve the best possible signal level (S).

12
SAT-2150 Satellite Meter

• Measuring the Bit Error Rate and Carrier-to-Noise
  Ratio
• After fine-tuning the dish, press the F4 key to
  display the Measurement screen, and the BER and
  C/N ratio.

13
SAT-2150 Satellite Meter

• Setup of Multiple-LNB Dishes
• Align the dish to the first target satellite.
• Press the FIND key to select a second satellite
  configuration.
• Use the UP/DOWN keys to select the second target
  satellite.
• Press the F4 key to display the Signal screen
  for the second satellite.

14
SAT-2150 Satellite Meter

• Note Follow the same keystroke procedure
  outlined in the previous steps to switch between
  two satellite configurations and their respective
  signal levels.
• Adjust the dish as necessary to achieve an
  acceptable compromise between both satellite
  signals, while toggling between satellite
  configurations.
