FAQs

Do I need batteries for the T135A?

No, the device is powered directly by the satellite receiver via the coaxial cable.

Can this device identify which satellite I am pointing at?

No, this is a signal strength meter and will detect any satellite signal it is pointed towards.

Why is the needle pegged at the maximum level?

The sensitivity is likely set too high. Slowly turn the dial until the needle returns to a readable range.

Is this suitable for all satellite dishes?

It is compatible with most standard satellite systems using LNB-to-receiver coaxial setups.

Does it work in the dark?

Yes, the device features a backlit display for clear reading in low-light conditions.

Troubleshooting

No reading on the display

Check all coaxial cable connections to ensure they are tight and properly seated in the 'LNB' and 'REC' ports.

Needle stays at max regardless of movement

Adjust the sensitivity control dial counter-clockwise until the needle drops to a mid-range position.

No audible tone

Ensure the satellite receiver is fully powered on and supplying 13V/18V through the cable.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Eliminates the need for a second person during dish alignment
No external batteries required for operation
Lightweight and highly portable for mobile setups
Audible signal makes it easy to track changes while hands are on the dish

Cons

Analogue display requires more manual interpretation than digital units
Requires manual adjustment of the sensitivity dial for peak accuracy
Does not provide channel identification or signal quality verification

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the device, connect one end of a short coaxial cable to the satellite dish LNB and the other to the 'LNB' port on the finder. Connect a second cable from the 'REC' port on the finder to your satellite receiver. Once the receiver is turned on, the finder will automatically receive power.

Compatibility is standard for most analogue/digital satellite systems utilizing coaxial connections. For care, ensure the cable connectors remain free of debris to maintain a clean signal path. Store the unit in a dry, protected environment when not in use to prevent damage to the delicate needle movement or the plastic casing.
