Frequently Asked Questions - SATMAX6 Elsys
How do I power on the SATMAX6?
Connect a 9V battery to the battery terminal, then rotate the sensitivity knob from the OFF position. The device will beep and the LED bar will light up.
How do I align my satellite dish?
Connect the SATMAX6 between your LNB and the coaxial cable. Then adjust the dish azimuth and elevation while listening to the beep. The strongest signal is indicated by the highest pitch and the most LEDs lit.
What does the beep indicate?
The beep provides an audio confirmation of the satellite signal strength. A solid tone or maximum pitch indicates that the dish is aligned for the best reception.
How do I replace the battery?
Open the battery compartment on the back of the device, remove the old 9V battery, insert a new one with the correct polarity, then close the compartment.
What type of LNB connector is used?
The SATMAX6 uses a standard F-type female connector for direct connection to the LNB's F-type plug.
Can I use it with any satellite?
Yes, the SATMAX6 works with any satellite signal in the 950-2150 MHz IF range, so it is compatible with all common satellites and LNBs.
How do I adjust the sensitivity?
Turn the sensitivity knob clockwise to increase the meter's sensitivity for weak signals, and counterclockwise to reduce it for strong signals. Start at low sensitivity to avoid saturation.
Why is my signal reading low?
A low reading can be caused by a misaligned dish, a faulty LNB, water in the cable, or too long a cable run. Check all connections and use the sensitivity control to compensate.
Is the SATMAX6 weatherproof?
The device is not waterproof, but it is designed for outdoor use during installation. Protect it from rain and never immerse it in water.
How should I clean the SATMAX6?
Clean the casing with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use chemicals or abrasive materials, and avoid getting moisture into the connectors.
