Battery
The Multifunctional Satellite Meter is equipped with a high quality Li-Ion
battery, which allows you to work off-grid for a long enough period. For better
efficiency and longer usage, we recommend that you Switch off the battery
with main switch to prevent self-discharge when the Meter is not used.
Working time heavily depends on LNB loading, polarization mode and
temperature. Remember that shorter working is achieved in cold environment,
and also when horizontal polarization is used on Universal LNB. So, switch to
Vertical Polarization (13V) whenever convenient. Also, Motorised Dish
installation drains battery quickly when motor is powered from Meter. Average
working time is around 3 hours for typical 100mA universal LNB at room
temperatures (25 C, 75F).
IMPORTANT: The Meter is guaranteed to work only with
original Dr.HD
battery
. Using of unapproved by Dr.HD batteries can damage the meter and
voids the warranty. Please ask authorized dealer/distributor of Dr.HD if you
ever need to change battery.
Battery Charge and Power Supply
To charge the Meter, connect external power supply, switch the Main
Switch to ON position and make sure that the Meter is in the main menu
(battery symbol on display). If all is done correctly, the display will show a
charging battery symbol and the "Battery" LED will become RED. When
battery charge is finished, the LED will change color to GREEN. If battery
switch is in OFF position and PSU is connected, you will see LED flashing
red/green continuously.
After opening a new Meter
– fully charge it for few
hours, until LED is green.
When the Meter is powered by internal battery, the display will show the
battery charge status in percents. The same symbol can be found as an icon in
other menu pages. It helps the operator to understand how much time
remains.
NOTE:
the working time depends on consumed current. Therefore, the
remaining percentage value displayed may change significantly in a short time,
when power consumption is substantially changing.
Charge is going, around 60% is done
Charge was well done, 100%
WARNING
!
We have tried to make our Meter as user-friendly as possible. We made it
possible to charge from any satellite STB, if needed. However, there are
important limitations, which you should know about.
1.
Please, charge or work from stabilized Power Supply Unit providing
from 12 to 15 volts, with current no less than 1A and no more than 2A. We
recommend to use ONLY the Dr.HD PSU (12V, 2A) that we provide with the
Meter. Also, you can
charge
from the DC car charging cable that we provide.
2.
If main battery is flat (low), you can work with the the Dr.HD PSU
(12V, 2A) that we provide with the Meter. But, in case of short-circuit in the
LNB cable, the Meter won’t be able to show the red warning message about
over-current, instead it will reboot to protect itself. This kind of reboot is normal,
it is for protection. Please check your LNB cable immediately and find a reason
for over-current.
3.
If necessary, you can charge from the LNB IN port of any Satellite
receiver. To avoid over-heating, remember to switch the receiver to any
transponder with Vertical polarisation, so the receiver provides 13 Volts to the
cable. This is important.
4.
NOTE: If necessary, it is possible to work from any satellite
receiver’s power (13V, vertical), but we do not recommend to work on STB
power, because STB supplies only 500mA power and it won’t be enough
power to safely run the Twin/Quad/Unicable LNB, etc.
5.
The safest operation is always from the internal battery. Please,
use it whenever possible.
6.
Using other Power Supply Units, except provided by Dr.HD (12V,
2A) is prohibited, especially if the PSU units are providing more than 2A power.
These power supply units could be not stabilized, not filtered, not protected
and simply dangerous to use. The warranty does not cover use with such
PSUs.
