SATHUNTER+

1. GENERAL

1.1 Description

The consolidation of Digital TV boosted the installation of “Direct To Home”

satellite TV systems. The continuous release of new packages or 'bouquets' and

services such as Internet require new simplified installation procedures that are capable

of guaranteeing the quality of the signal received.

Because of the wide range of services offered by current satellites and the

increasing in the amount of signals, we have developed new tests, improving the ones

available in classic satellite detectors and meters.

The SATHUNTER+ is the answer to the need for an installation tool that allow

making the job in a fast way and it includes all necessary measurements to secure the

quality of reception. There is a need to discern among satellites, to adjust the antenna

and to check the quality of the digital signal.

The SATHUNTER+ has been designed to guarantee the maximum number of

installations with the best quality, helping the installer to evaluate the results.

The equipment determines if the quality of the signal is enough for reception. For

that, it is based on the internal BER measurement and the modulation error ratio (MER).

The SATHUNTER+ processes all the information and gives to the installer just

the information he requires, making his work as easy as possible.

The SATHUNTER+ is very easy to use and it guides the user through three

steps, enabling to localize the satellite, guaranteeing its identification and accurately

adjusting the receiver antenna to obtain the best quality of signal.

At the SATHUNTER+, the measurement to determinate the quality of the signal is

the MER, which is directly related to the BER (Bit Error Rate). The instrument displays

‘CBER’ and “MER” on the display in graphic bars and alphanumeric data.

The instrument is a useful tool when installing either a specific service or satellite,

or a series of services or satellites. Its specific use is determined by the configuration of

the instrument, which may depend on the country or geographical area.

The SATHUNTER+ has been specially designed to stand rough working

conditions. It includes a back-light display and offers a long battery life.

3. INSTALLATION

3.1 Power Supply

The SATHUNTER+ is a portable instrument powered by a lithium rechargeable

battery. The instrument comes with a mains adapter in order to connect it to the mains

for operation and battery charging.

3.1.1 Operation using the Mains Adapter

Connect the mains adapter to the SATHUNTER+ using the external power

connector [4] (see Figure 6.-) located on the right side panel. Connect the

adapter to the mains and it will automatically start the battery charging process. The

equipment will emit an acoustic indication. It will also display information about the

battery charging (see “3.1.3 Battery Charging”) on the screen. When the battery is

already charged, the instrument will automatically disconnect. To stop the charging

process, press any of the three keys [1], [2] or [3], for more than 2 s

(the battery-charging screen will disappear).

To start operation, keep any of the three instrument keys ( [1], [2] or

[3]) pressing down for more than 1 s. The instrument will start up. The battery

charging process will stop until the equipment starts up. The charging process will be

slower when the equipment is on.

CAUTION

Before using the mains adapter, make sure that it is the appropriate one for your

mains system: Mains power adapter model AL-101B.

The mains adapter is exclusively designed for indoor use.

3.1.2 Operation Using Batteries

The instrument is powered by a 7.4 V and 2.2 Ah Li-Ion battery.

In order to the equipment works using the battery, you need only press any

instrument key ( [1], [2] or [3]) for more than 1 s. With the battery fully

charged, the SATHUNTER+ has an approximate autonomy of 80 minutes in continuous

operation and at the worst conditions (powering a universal LNB and identifying a

signal).

USER’S MANUAL. SATHUNTER+.

Page 8 10/2010

When the battery is flat, you will hear an acoustic indication and the screen will

show the message “BATTERY LOW“. Afterwards, if the battery is not charging yet, it

will show the message “VERY LOW BATTERY” and it will emit a warning acoustic

indication. If it is not immediately connected to the mains, the instrument will

automatically switch off.

3.1.3 Battery Charging

To fully charge the battery with the SATHUNTER+ switched off, connect the

mains adapter to the external power supply input

[4] (see Figure 6.-). Then

connect the adapter to the mains. The charging process will start automatically. The

instrument will emit an acoustic indication and the display will show the battery voltage

level, the charge percentage and for how long the battery has been charging.

Figure 1.- Battery charging.

When charging is completed, the instrument is automatically disconnected from

the mains and it will emit two acoustic indications. At the same time the display will

show how long the battery has been charging.

The charging time depends on the state of the battery. If the battery is completely

flat, the charging process will take around 100 minutes. When the battery is fully

charged, the instrument will disconnect automatically. The charging process must be

carry out in a range of temperatures between 5 &C and 40 &C.

IMPORTANT NOTE

At starting the battery charging process and using the instrument for a long

period of time, it could be observed a heating of the instrument. This heating is

normal in the power margin that must be dissipated, according to the battery

charge status and the LNB consumption.

IMPORTANT NOTE

If the equipment is operating and the voltage adapter is connected, the charging

process will be longer. It will depend on the consumption.
