This meter displays a reading for a receiver that is not properly connected to the
dish LNBF or a menu setting is incorrect. A
Signal Level
reading of 0% could
indicate that there is bad connection between the receiver and the LNBF. Verify
that a coax cable is directly attached from the SAT IN port on the rear of the
satellite receiver to the LNBF on the satellite dish.
A Grey color
Signal Level
reading of 45% or better indicates that the receiver is
connected to a working LNBF. The low
Signal Quality
reading at or below 30%
indicates that the dish is not properly aimed or the LNBF is not properly rotated
to receive the satellite signal.
The Signal Level (S) is important when determining if the receiver is
connected to a working LNBF. A Signal Level reading of 45% or higher
indicates a connection to a working LNBF, but does not indicate finding
the correct satellite.
A Blue color
Signal Level
reading of 45% or better indicates that the receiver
is connected to a working LNBF. The Green
Signal Quality
reading at 50% or
higher indicates that the dish is properly aimed.
Meter Readings
While watching the Signal Quality reading, SLOWLY pan the dish towards
the east approximately 15 degrees away from the starting compass reading
provided for the target satellite. If the Signal Quality reading does not increase,
SLOWLY pan the dish back to the starting point then SLOWLY pan the dish to
the west approximately 15 degrees. If no Signal Quality reading is displayed,
increase or decrease the dish elevation by one degree increments and repeat the
slow panning of the dish. Once the correct satellite is detected, the meter will
display a higher Blue color Signal Level reading and the Green Signal Quality
reading will appear.
