The TRACKER LIGHT Digital satellite meter is a professional grade meter designed for satellite installations. With its FAST TRACK signal processor and audible tone generator it will make satellite locating and installation a simple process.

The meter calculates the elevation and polarization automatically and shows in the display, according to your location and satellite’s longitude.

The meter comes with a built in Global Satellite channel list, you can also download Satellite Parameters via PC or manually edit the user-defined Satellite Parameters. The Tracker Light can store 100 custom satellite parameters.

1. Positioning guide zone:
   
   
   A:  Indicates the azimuth direction.
   E:  Indicates the degree of elevation
   P:  Indicates the LNB polarization angle
   
   
2. Satellite Settings Zone:
   L:   Satellite longitude
   F:   Transponder frequency
   SR:  Symbol rate
   LO:  Local oscillator frequency
   LNB: 13V(vertical) or 18V (horizontal) polarization switch
   22KHz Control: “ON” indicates on, blank indicates off.
   
   
3. Channel number zone:
   User channel plan can save 100 user-defined satellite parameters; you can also save frequently used parameters here.
   
   Using  and  key select the channel. The meter has preset the data of most satellite channel plans in the world, and reserves 300 empty channel plans.
   
   Inputting the longitude and latitude of your location, the meter will automatically select and display a channel that you can receive.
   
   
4. Latitude and longitude settings & functions zone:
   LONG: Longitude
   LAT: Latitude :  It blinks when pressing  to indicate saved successfully.
    :  Indicates the mode of local channel plan.
   :   Hold  for 3 seconds until the symbol shows, indicating the speaker is off; Press and hold for 3 seconds again to turn on the speaker.
   :  Linked with PC
       : Shows current battery status,
           blinks when the battery is low.
   
   
5. Measurement zone:
   After setting satellite parameters, you should move cursor to channel number zone and press any numeric key from 0 to 9 to activate the measurement.
   
   S (Signal), Q (Quality) column.
   S, Q column displays the signal strength and signal quality in percentage.
   
   S,S/N and B: (Values)
   S:    Actual value of signal strength
   S/N:  Carrier noise ratio
   B:    Bit error rate
   
   
   Indicates the satellite signal has been locked.

*The “Locked” icon will show only on satellites that have a ID Frequency.
In general if the S and Q are showing strong values you are on the satellite frequency selected. Try to maximize the S and Q Bars to obtain the best satellite signal.

1. Input port: The port to connect with LNB (Satellite Dish LNB)
   
   
2. Output port: When the battery is low, connect this port with input   port of satellite receiver, then turn on the receiver to supply power for meter and get signal input.
   
   
3. LCD: LCD display with backlight. 
   
   
4. Option Key & shift key between default and user-defined channel plans: Single-press, the cursor will move downwards circularly. Hold for 3 seconds, screen will shift between default and user-defined channel plans.
   
   
5. Number digit key & backlight key: Single-press: cursor moves left Hold for 3 seconds to turn on or turn off backlight.
   
   
6. Number digit key & mute key: Single-press: cursor moves right Hold for 3 seconds to turn on (off) the speaker.
   
   
7. Save & delete key: Press to save modified items. Hold for 3 seconds to delete the selected item.
   
   
8. Load and unit key Single-press: load parameters in local channel plan to user-defined channel plan. Hold for 3 seconds to shift among the measurement unit’s dBuV, dBmV, dBm.
   
   
9. Numeric Keys: Enter numbers from 0 to 9. When cursor is in channel number zone, press any numeric key to start or stop the signal measurement. Hold “0” key for 3 seconds to enter local longitude & latitude modifying mode.
   
   
10. POWER:  ON/OFF
    
    
11. ON/Off Light
    
    
12. USB Port
    
    
13. Power Input
    
    
14. Speaker

Enter parameters:
In user channel plan, move cursor to channel number zone, press  Or  Key to select an empty channel plan, pressing  key to move cursor to L, F, SR, LO, LNB, 22KHz and enter the correct parameters one by one.

For example: Moving cursor to “L” and enter 146E:
Enter number when the digit blinks, using  or  key move the cursor. When the cursor is at “hundred” it won’t blink, directly enter “1”.

Continuing to use  or  key move the cursor to “E” or “W”,when “E” or “W” blinks, press any numeric key from 0 to 9 to shift between “E” or “W”. When the cursor is at “LNB” or “22KHz”, use any numeric key to
shift between the options.

After entering all parameters, press  key to save. The cursor moves to channel number area automatically and all parameters are saved into current channel successfully.
Note: As “L” is entered, the meter will calculate elevation and polarization and display on the positioning guide zone, according to local longitude & latitude you have entered, provided the satellite program is available locally. 

1.3 Signal measurement:
Make sure the cursor is in the channel number zone, press any numeric key to launch signal test mode. When the input port is connected with LNB, the meter will detect LNB noise and display the signal level, indicating the LNB is OK and connected well with the meter.

1.4 Signal searching:
Turn the antenna in the direction the meter indicates, the tone will become louder and clearer. When the antenna is close to the satellite, the meter will shows an increasing value of S (Signal) and Q (Quality) Bars and Ber.

Tech Tip:
Always try to maximize the signal on the Q (Quality Bar) before completing your installation.

Continue to turn the antenna slowly in the direction that makes the S/Q Bars increase. When the value is sufficient, the meter will sound a steady audio able tone. The  icon will appear on the display when signal is verified. Continue to tune the antenna until the meter shows the maximum S/Q bar reading.

Important Note:
In measurement mode, you can scroll different frequency’s by pressing the  or  keys by +/- 1MHz steps. Press  key to save.
