The SF3000 Digital Satellite Finder Meter is an innovative professional satellite identification and alignment meter. This device is easy to operate. The signal strength and picture quality (BER) meter will speed up and improve your dish installation. It communicates with the satellite's digital transmissions with "Unique Satellite Information Data" (USID). While most pointing devices only give you a general idea that there are indeed satellites in the sky and allow you to peak the signal, the SF3000 takes you one step further by positively identifying the satellite. After selecting a country and city, the Finder Master Software will calculate the parameters to adjust the satellite dish automatically. The parameters include Azimuth, Elevation, and Polarization. They are displayed in graphic and table mode. This information can be downloaded by the RS-232 cable provided, from your PC to your SF-3000 easily and effectively to locate the satellites from your destination.

SF3000 FEATURES

• Total software upgrade
• Software stored in Flash memory for later upgrade
• Pre-programmed with most regionally used satellites
• Uses USID
• Signal strength and Bit Error Rate (Picture Quality) displayed simultaneously.
• Easy reading LCD display.
• Back lit display.
• Up to 80 satellites may be programmed.
• Bar-graph for Signal Strength
• Bar-graph for BER (Picture Quality).
• Satellite settings store in non-volatile EPROM
• Short circuit proof on LNB output.
• Internal battery powers the LNB
• Works with all stander, universal, linear (DVB) and circular (DSS) polarity LNBs
• Weight approx less than 2 lbs.
• Size approx: 9.84in W x 4.72in H x 2.36in D (250 x 120 x 60 mm)
• Set satellite's related parameter which includes LNB frequency and working voltage (mode of polarization), satellite downstream frequency, symbol ate, 22K situation etc.
• AZ, EL, and PO self-calculated for providing initial dish set-ups.
• Align dish without IR/D, TV and power.
• In alignment process, once a satellite is found by setting related parameter, we can adjust the dish's orientation and pitching angle according to inside audible tone
• Measure RF signal level, bit error rate, carrier-to-noise rate and current.
• Provides special software that can be used to check local position. AZ, EL, and PO for almost all big cities around the world in alignment process of a certain satellite.
• Plans can be downloaded from a certain website by RS232 port.
