Frequently Asked Questions - Satmeter HD 1 Smart MEGASAT

How do I turn on the Satmeter HD 1 Smart?
Use the power switch on the device. Ensure the meter is connected to power via the receiver, power bank, or optional adapter.
How do I connect the meter to the app?
Download the BT Satmeter app from iOS/Android store. Turn on the meter and enable Bluetooth on your mobile device. The connection should happen automatically. If not, confirm pairing on your phone.
What satellites are pre-programmed?
The first three satellites are Astra1 (19.2°E), Hotbird (13.0°E), and Astra2 (28.2°E). A total of 8 satellites can be stored and edited via the app.
How do I align a satellite dish without the app?
Connect the meter to LNB and receiver. Select the desired satellite using SAT +/-. Move the dish slowly while watching the 'LOCK' LED. When it lights up, fine-tune for maximum signal strength on the LED bar.
How do I use the alignment function in the app?
Go to 'Alignment' and select your satellite and location. Turn and tilt your smartphone until the two satellite icons align. The app shows azimuth and elevation angles to help you position the dish.
What does the 'SHORT' LED indicate?
The 'SHORT' LED lights red when a short circuit is detected. Check all connections and cables immediately to avoid damage.
How do I configure DiSEqC or Unicable settings?
In the app, go to 'LNB settings'. Under 'Switch', select DiSEqC 1.0, 1.1, SCR (Unicable EN 50494), or SCD2 (Unicable EN 50607). Set the port, band, or position as needed.
Can I use the power bank to power the meter?
Yes. Connect the included Micro-USB cable from the power bank to the meter's USB port. Use the 2.1A output on the power bank for stable operation.
Why does the meter restart repeatedly?
This may be due to insufficient power. Try connecting the meter to a receiver or power adapter instead of the power bank. Also, connect the LNB after the meter has started to reduce inrush load.
How do I reset the app to factory settings?
In the app, go to 'Settings' and select 'Default settings'. Confirm the reset. Note that all custom satellite and transponder data will be lost.

To connect an external power source such Powerbank (4.8 - 6.0 Volt / max 10 Watt)

Note: If the meter restarts after switching on again and again, the supply voltage is insufficient for the LNB. In this case, use the receiver or a power adapter for power.

3. Instructions for measuring without a mobile device

  1. Connect „LNB“ on the measuring device to the connection of the LNB of the satellite system.
  2. Connect „Receiver“ on the measuring device to the coaxial cable leading to your satellite set-top box and then switch it on. Alternatively, a suitable power supply or other external power source (such as power bank) can be used via the USB port.
  3. Turn on the meter at the power switch. All LEDs light up briefly and then display the currently set parameters. Note: If the meter restarts again and again, check the connection for a short circuit or the power consumption of the LNB is too high. If the power consumption is too high, connect the LNB after the meter has started to reduce the starting load. Alternatively, connect the meter to a receiver or power supply as the power source.
  4. Use the SAT +/- buttons to select the desired satellite (eg Astra1 19.2° East).
  5. If necessary, you can change the transponder. Usually you start with TP1.
  6. Adjust the elevation required for your area and turn the system slowly, step by step, until the „LOCK“ LED lights up. Now use the TP +/- button to check further transponders of the satellite, if they are also displayed with the indication „LOCK“ to exclude a reflection or a wrong satellite.
  7. When you have found the right satellite, you will do the fine tuning. Carefully move the dish left, right, up, down until you reach the highest value on the 12-digit LED display. Tighten the fixing screws of the dish evenly.
  8. If necessary, you can use the app on the mobile device to get more information and make settings.
  9. Turn off the device and power sources and remove the meter.
  10. Connect your coaxial cable to the LNB and turn on your set-top box again. The set satellite should now be received with your TV.

Note:

If you use satellite systems or LNBs with special reception types (eg Unicable, DiSEqC circuits, ...), first you must set this via the app. By default, the satellites „Astra 1“ with DiSEqC 1.0 port 1 and „Hotbird“ with port 2 are occupied.
