XFTP SAT LITE Satellite Meter - Operation Manual
Signal Display
After loading a satellite configuration or pressing the
F4
Button to use
the last configuration, one of the two signal display screens will be
displayed for dish alignment as shown below.
You can switch between the view of bar graphs with signal and quality level
percentages or satellite name with percentages by pressing the
ENTER
Button.
S (Signal Level) - This is the satellite signal level indicated as a
percentage. The bar graph directly corresponds to the percentage
shown to the right. To obtain a better signal level, adjust the Azimuth
and Elevation of your satellite dish. Using the bar graph and speaker
tone, you can easily find the maximum signal level. When the bar
graph is longer, the percentage is higher, and the speaker’s tone is
higher, the signal level is stronger.
Q (Signal Quality) - This is the satellite signal quality indicated as a
percentage. The bar graph directly corresponds to the percentage
shown to the right. To obtain a better signal quality, adjust the
polarization (tilt/skew) of the satellite dish. Using the bar graph, you
can easily find the maximum signal quality. When the bar graph is
longer, the percentage is higher, and the signal quality is better.
With the desired satellite configuration highlighted, press the
ENTER
Button to load the satellite configuration. The display will momentarily
indicate
Loading... and then display waiting for a few seconds while
looking for a signal.
