ADVANTAGES of UHF & Satellite Meter

DISADVANTAGES of & and Satellite Meter

  • Will not tell you which satellite or TV transmitter you are receiving signal from
  • Takes far more time to align than with a professional satellite meter
  • Will not work with wideband LNBs

PROCEDURE for Using FRINGE UHF Meter

  • Connect the cable coming from the UHF aerial to the "Coax connector" input on the Fringe meter.
  • Ensure that the meter in turned on.
  • Normally about 2 LEDs will light up if the aerial if it is picking up a low signal
  • Slowly rotate the UHF aerial with the aim of increasing the number of LEDs lighting.
  • When the number of LEDs starts to decrease again you know you have passed the peak and should start rotating the aerial in the other direction.
  • Remove the Fringe meter and feed the cable directly to the TV
  • Test signal on TV by tuning channel to the the correct frequency for your local TV transmitter - see Analogue Aerial Selection Guide

PROCEDURE for Using FRINGE Satellite Meter

  • Connect the meter lead from the  Satellite LNB to the "To LNB" Connection on the satellite finder
  • Connect the satellite cable coming from the satellite receiver toh teh "To Rec" input on the satellite finder
  • Make sure your satellite receiver is on. The satellite Meter LED should be on (powered by the satellite receiver) and give a reading of around 4 LEDs
  • Set the satellite dish to roughly the correct angle and direction e.g. Astra 2 satellite is found at 21 degrees elevation and 141 degrees on the compass (slight variation depending on what part of Ireland you are in).
  • Set the satellite finder"s scale to reading to about 5 by adjusting the control level found on the face of the satellite dish (clockwise turning with increase the reading)
  • Peak the signal by slowly turning the elevation and direction of the dish.
  • Verify on the satellite receiver that you have tuned the satellite dish to the correct satellite by switching to / tuning in a channel e.g. BBC 1 on the Astra 2 satellite.
  • Remove the meter lead and satellite finder and connect the LNB to the satellite cable coming from your dish.
