USES of Satellite Finder
- For aligning satellite dish to pick up a satellite signal

ADVANTAGES of Satellite Finder
- Inexpensive and handy tool for aligning a satellite dish
- A satellite finder removes the need to have a second person when aligning the dish
DISADVANTAGES of Satellite Finder
- Will not tell you which satellite you are receiving signal from
- Takes far more time to align than with a professional satellite finder
- Can only be used with satellite dishes - can not align a UHF aerial
- Will not work with wideband LNBs
PROCEDURE for Using 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 to the "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 2.
- 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. If the satellite meter reading tops the scale reduce the reading to 5 (by adjusting the level control) and continue to adjust until peak position is found.
- 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.
