Channel Master 1007IFD User Instructions

Model 1007IFD Satellite Signal Meter
with recharg
eable battery and charger
INTRODUCTION
The 1007IFD satellite signal meter has been designed for the installation and maintenance of a satellite TV system.It features signal strength measurement by both meter indication and audible tone indication for dish antenna peaking.
voltage and current measurement is also provided. An internal,
rechargeable nicad battery pack with output switchable between 13V, 18V, 13V/22KHz and 18V/22KHz allows a dish antenna to be installed prior to installation of the satellite receiver. The output voltage and 22KHz tone presence from a satellite receiver may also be monitored.The internal 22KHz generator allows “alternate satellite”selection on certain types of systems with an integrated LNB/multiswitch. A 117 VAC wall plug type charger is included.

OPERATION
1) Powering by Satellite Receiver or Internal Battery
This switch selects between powering the meter from the satellite receiver and simultaneously monitoring its LNB voltage and tone presence; or, powering the meter from the internal nicad battery with the ability to generate a 22KHz tone when required.
Note: Leave in the “BATTERY OFF” position so as not to drain the battery when:
a.The meter is not in use. b.The battery is being charged.
2) Battery Check
Verify the condition of the battery by pressing:BATTERY POWERED”plus18Vplus V. If the indication is “recharge” or in the yellow position, it will
be necessary to recharge the unit before use with the internal battery is possible.A further batter y test should be made under load (with the LNB connected). It is recommended that the unit is charged overnight after approximately three (3) hours use.Charging with the 24VDC source as supplied is recommended. Note the DC power input jack is center positive.
3) Wiring Diagram
A short cable should be used between the LNB and meter.Ensure the wiring is completed before the satellite meter or receiver are switched on.Be careful to avoid short circuits when the coaxial cables are connected or disconnected.
a. LNB powered from satellite receiver.
CAUTION! To prevent reverse powering the satellite receiver, never connect the satellite receiver to the meters LNB connector or damage to the satellite receiver may result.
b.LNB powered from built-in battery.
4) 13/18V Selection
This button only functions in the battery powered mode. Press the13/18V switch to select the desired LNB voltage.
Note: Avoid using the 13V position for extended periods.The 18V position provides cooler operation.
5) 0/22KHz Selection
This button only functions in the battery powered mode.The 22KHz mode must only be used with certain kinds of integrated LNB/multiswitch to select the “alternate satellite” where direct access to the LNB is not possible.
Note:The instantaneous voltage at the “trough” of the 22KHz waveform will be
0.3V lower than the indicated voltage. The presence of a 22KHz tone from either the satellite receiver or internal generator is indicated by the 22KHz LED.
6) LNB Voltage Measurement
Press the “V” switch. It indicates the DC voltage supplied to the LNB.
Note:The 13V and 18V LEDs provide a further indication of LNB voltage. The LNB voltage is greater than 15V when the 18V LED glows and less than 15V when the 13V LED glows.
7) LNB Current Measurement
Press the “mA” switch. It indicates the DC current supplied to the LNB.
8) Antenna Peaking
Coarse align the antenna using instructions supplied with your system. After switching on, press the “level” (and tone switch if required).Adjust the dish azimuth and elevation for maximum meter indication or highest pitch tone. Use the gain control to maintain 80-100% of full scale deflection where meter resolution is optimum.
CAUTION! Note the LNB volts,LNB current and signal level switches are interlocked. Never attempt to press more than one of these switches in at the same time or damage to the meter may result.
BATTERY CHARGING
For optimum battery life, follow these guidelines:
CAUTION! The 1007IFD is factory shipped with the battery in a partially charged state. It should be used without charging until the BA TTER Y TESTmode reaches the yellow position. It should then be charged overnight using the charger provided. The unit should then be charged overnight after each three(3) hours of use.
Note: Optimum batter y performance is obtained after the first few charge/discharge cycles.The powering switch must be in the “BATTERYOFF” position during charging.
