Product Description
2 Product Description
The smartmeter S1 is a handy digital antenna measuring device for a quick and easy alignment of satellite antennas. If a satellite is found, the smartmeter S1 shows it on the display
and emits an audible signal. Signal strength and quality are displayed as numerical values
and bar graphs.
Another measurement value is the forward error correction (FEC) and the bit error rate after
Viterbi (VBER). In addition, the picture quality can be revised on the high-resolution 8.9-inch
TFTLCD screen.
Many satellites are pre-programmed in order to an quick antenna adjustment.
There is a protective pouch for transport and as a protection.

Safety Notes
3 Safety Notes
3.1 Safety of persons
Ensure that nobody can be hurt by falling tools or parts of the satellite antenna during the
adjustment and installation of the antenna. For your own security use a rope on sloping
roofs.
3.2 Appropriate Usage
The measuring device smartmeter S1 was developed to measure signals of digital satellite
antennas and satellite systems. It is exclusively for this purpose and should only be used for
this purpose. Use the equipment only for the purpose, which is described in this manual.
Any other usage is rated as not properly and can result in damage or even injury. There will
be no liability for damages caused by a non-intended use.
3.3 Hazards from Improper Use
Make sure the meter and especially the power plug are always kept
dry.
Do not expose the meter to temperatures below 0° C.
Connect the power plug only to 100-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.
Charge the meter only with the supplied power plug.
During electrical storms, disconnect the meter from the aerial and
CAUTION!
WARNING!
from the power supply.
Do not put heavy objects onto the meter.
Avoid mechanical influences that can damage e.g. the LCD display or
the housing of the meter.
Do not bend or crimp the cables.
Do not start to use the meter if you can see signs of damage or if you
can hear loose parts inside the device.
Danger of electrical shock from high voltage
Damages on the housing of the power plug or an improperly repaired
power plug can expose the user to mains voltage.
Do not open the supplied power plug.
Have the power plug repaired by qualified personnel only.
Taking the device from cold into warm temperatures can lead to condensation forming inside the device.
Do not connect the device instantly. Leave it switched off for a few
hours.

CAUTION
chain reactions inside the battery.
Do not store or use the battery in temperatures above 40 °C.
Never connect the two poles (+ and -).
Never expose the battery to high temperatures, e.g. close to stoves or
cookers or other hot objects.
Charge the battery only with the supplied power plug.
Damages on and improper use of the battery can lead to fumes leaking from the battery. When inhaled, these fumes can irritate the respiratory tracts.
Avoid any damaging of the battery.
If fumes leak from the battery, open the window and seek medical
advice if you experience health problems that may result from inhaling
battery fumes.
Defective batteries can leak and spill battery liquid onto close-by objects.
Check the objects affected.
Clean or, if necessary, replace the objects affected.
4 Initial Setup
4.1 Charging the Battery
Charge the battery completely before you use the meter for the first
time.
The battery can be charged regardless of
An integrated automatic charging system ensures optimum charging of the battery.
Switch off the meter, if it is not yet switched off, to ensure that the complete power of the
power supply can be used to charge the battery.
• whether the meter is switched on or off or
• whether the battery-switch on the underside of the meter is set to
On or Off.
smartmeter S1 11
Initial Setup
Plug the power plug into a 230-V socket.
Connect the low-voltage plug of the power plug to the low-voltage socket on the bottom
of the meter.
The battery starts charging as soon as you connect the smartmeter S1 to the power plug.
4.1.1 Charge Control
• Charging is indicated by a continuously moving battery symbol in the display:
The POWER LED lights red.
• Completed charging is indicated by a steady battery symbol filled with four bars: .
The POWER LED lights green.
4.1.2 State of Charge
The current status of the battery is continuously displayed:
• If the battery is not adequately charged, the battery charging icon will be displayed in red
with 1 or 2 lines (corresponding to the state of charge). You should charge the battery.
• If the battery is sufficiently charged, the battery charging icon will be displayed in green
with 3 or 4 lines.
Basically, the meter is also charged if it is switched on, then the
charging period becomes longer.
When you charge the battery for the first time, charge it for at least 5
hours.
The maximum charging time is 12 hours.
.
4.2 Switching the Meter On and Off
4.2.1 Switching on
1. Ensure that the battery-switch on the underside of the meter is set to an ON position.
2. Press the power key to switch on the meter.
In case of disconnected power supply, the smartmeter S1 will be

6.8 NIT
The smartmeter S1 is equipped with NIT. NIT means Network Information Table and is
transmitted in the data stream of the satellite. It contains data regarding to transponders and
channels, such as frequency, sound carrier or symbol rates.
To align a satellite antenna you can also use the NIT display. When a signal is found worthy
to receive, the NIT display tells you to which satellite your antenna is actually aligned.

16 Operation in a Unicable System
16.1 About Unicable
The smartmeter S1 allows for changing the receiving mode to the unicable standard. This
makes it possible - depending on the antenna type - to connect up to eight independent
receivers to only one main line.
For this, an own IF channel and a corresponding frequency should be set for each receiver
via the settings menu.
Allocation of channels and frequencies depends on the used LNBs and/or multi-switches.
The data sheet and the technical documentation of your LNB and/or multi-switch include an
allocation table similar to the following table.
