Note that you must select only one LNB to receive 
video signals for a viewable picture. The AcuTrac®22 
is effectively dividing it’s attention to both ports LNB1 
and LNB2 when both bar graphs are presented. This is 
perfect for dish alignment but interrupts the data stream 
to the receiver(s) and they will present no video in this 
mode. 

If you want to check the video with the AcuTrac®22 in 
the line, press the “

UP

” button to select the LNB you 

would like to view. This illustration indicates that we 
have selected LNB1. The video data will now pass 
smoothly from LNB1 through the AcuTrac®22 and can 
be interpreted correctly by the satellite receiver. 

The AcuTrac®22 can provide much more information 
about your satellite system. To access the expanded 
menu area, press the “

ON/MENU

” button. The screen 

illustrated (right) will appear and provide a very 
detailed range of tests and adjustments. The menu map 
as well as details about what each function can do for 
you is listed in this manual. Press the “

UP

” or 

OFF/DOWN

” button to scroll the   arrowhead pointer 

up and down through the menu.

VIEW SIGNAL

This is the screen you will see when you first turn the AcuTrac® on. These bars indicate 

the general signal strength of both LNBFs. If desired, you can look at only one LNB by 
pressing the “

UP

” button. Press the “

UP

” button again to look at only the second LNB, 

one more press of the “

UP

” button takes you back to both LNBs.

VIEW RECEIVER

Displays the voltage provided by the satellite receiver or battery. Indicates the current 

draw in mA of the LNB (if only one is connected) or total draw of both LNBs if two are 
connected. Also indicates if a 22kHz tone is being sent by the receiver. These readings 
verify the receiver operation. Also, you can measure voltage at the receiver and then at 
the end of the coax, this will help calculate the voltage loss through the coax cable. 

Pressing the “

OFF/DOWN

” button brings up a second screen which displays the requested 

port number from a DishNetwork receiver. 

22KHZ MODE

The AcuTrac® 22 has a built-in 22Khz tone generator which can be activated by this 

function. This allows you to control many typical switches (such as the DirecTV 5x4 
switch) and select two different LNBs at the same time. For example, you can look at the 
119° satellite (if the 22KHZ tone is activated) on the top graph and 101° on the bottom 
bar graph simultaneously. If the 22KHZ is set OFF, the tone will NOT pass from a 
receiver. Note that the 22KHZ tone can only be activated on LNB1 (top port ONLY).

MAX HOLD

This function superimposes a small bar at the end of the bar graph (signal strength) which 

keeps track of the maximum signal received. This can be turned on or off as needed.

ATTEN 

The attenuate item is hidden from view, you must press the “

OFF/DOWN

” button to scroll 

down to it. This attenuates (reduces) both the signal meter readings to lower numbers. 
Handy if the bar graph is maxed out. Note that the ‘

A

’ text is now displayed. To turn this 

feature off, go back to >

ATTEN 

 and select OFF.
