Pico Macom DSM1 Specifications
DSM1
Quick and easy alignment simplifies single and elliptical dish
alignment
Dual input and independent meter
display saves time by providing
simultaneous alignment and monitoring of two LNB orbital slots
without alternately switching
between feeds
Independent 22KHz tone switches
provide on-the-fly switching
between orbital slots for simplified
multiswitch testing and overall
ease of operation
Overall band power display allows
measurement of analog and digital,
C and Ku band signals
Variable-pitch tone provides simple
audible overall alignment reference
without looking away from the dish
Broadband satellite IF amplification and independent gain controls
allow optimization of signal meter
and audible tone indication
Internal battery pack supplies
13V-18V power to satellite LNB’s,
eliminating need for receiver power
during alignment and providing
simple method to test multiswitch
operation

Pico Macom’s DSM1 Dual Satellite Signal Level Meter is a full-featured handheld satellite IF meter providing a complete testing system in a convenient easy-to-carry protective
case. The DSM1 enables testing and alignment of single or multiple satellite antennae
and associated cabling. Dual signal paths and independent displays ensure quick and
accurate alignment of altitude, elevation and tilt-skew, thus eliminating the need of multiple satellite meters when used with today’s and next generation satellite dish antenna.
Connecting two LNB’s to the DSM1 provides simultaneous measurement, adjustment,
and monitoring, enabling skew alignment of elliptical multi-feed satellite dish antenna.
Unique to each side, variable audible tones enable rough signal peak detection through
higher pitch change as signal level increases. Simultaneously, the analog meter’s deflection provides precise acquisition for optimum system performance. The amplification
broadband detector and variable gain controls allow detection of a wide range of input
levels. The dual meters can be independently switched between level, current, voltage
and 22KHz tone, making the DSM1 the most complete troubleshooting tool available.
The internal battery pack provides voltage to two LNB’s simultaneously, both switchable
between 13-18VDC and allowing simple spectrum analysis and cable fault detection.
A battery charger and sturdy carr ying case with strap are included.
