Horizon Satellite Meter


Price:	N/A
Availability:	No longer available

Digital Satellite Meter (HDSMV2.5) for the easy alignment of satellite dishes. Battery driven the meter finds a satellite, chosen from the menu. 32 transponders or 16 satellites can be stored at any time. From a set up menu the following features can be customised on the display, signal strength in numerical or dBuV, BER in % Terms or numerical, carrier noise in dB, True BER after install, graph or Logarithmic. The satellite data is upgradeable from downloaded HEX files via Horizon web site taking around 30 seconds to update, this feature is very useful for specialist applications like broadband or Vsat installations. Different languages are available for the display with up to four languages being stored at any one time The meter comes as a kit with car charger, mains charger and computer interface lead along with a leather case.

Computer interface: Serial Port (COM 1,2,3 or 4) forUpgradeable software on satellite settings.
RF level can be displayed in dBuV (accurate to +-1dB) or linear scale (256 steps). Feature available in set up mode
C/N (carrier noise) is displayed in dB.
Quality (Pre B.E.R or bit error rate) is locking on faster making it easier to lock on to the satellite initially typical lock in less than 100 mS.
Instead of “found” to indicate lock of correct satellites actual B.E.R can be displayed. Feature available in set up mode.
The quality (Pre B.E.R) bar graph can be logarithmic rather than liner. Making it easier to peak the dish and helps with weak satellites. Feature available in set-up mode.
Diseqc switch commands available in submenu.
