The signal level will increase on the signal bar if any satellite signal is detected. If the beeper is enabled, then the pitch of the beeper will increase with signal strength. Once the instrument locks on a satellite transponder, the display is changed to include SNR (signal to noise ratio) and BER (bit error rate) bars and numeric values.
Menu The following menu is shown on the display when pressing down the "OK" button in the "EasyFind" mode: This is the Main Menu. Use the "UP"/"DOWN" buttons to scroll up and down in the menu system. Use the "OK" button to choose the selected function. Pressing the "OK"...

Send DiSEqC Pressing “OK” when the arrow “>” is pointing to “Send DiSEqC” will enter the selection menu where the DiSEqC commands LNB1, LNB2, LNB3, LNB4 can be sent. When you select one of the LNB commands, it is sent at the next tuning. The EasyFind satellite selected may have a DiSEqC command already selected.
Setup Pressing "OK" when the arrow “>” is pointing towards "Setup" will enter the setup mode. In setup mode these parameters can be adjusted. These settings will be restored on power on. • Language: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Swedish •...
Appendix A – Using LiteEdit to Edit Satellites The Satellite list (Satlist) stored in the Satlook Lite can be changed using the LiteEdit program. When the LiteEdit program is loaded, it will show the last edited satellite list. Use “Import List” to load a satellite list to edit.

DiSEqC: 0=off, 1=LNB1, 2=LNB2, 3=LNB3, 4=LNB4 If a DiSEqC command is required for tuning, this can be added to the satlist file instead of manual selection. Also stored in the file is a version number for reference which is displayed on Info display.
Connect the Rs232 cable from the computer to the instrument. You will need to connect the Satlook Lite to the charger as part of the firmware update process, but do not connect it yet. Run the “LiteEdit” application.

Normally the download will start and indicate the number of bytes remaining to transfer. Sometimes, the Satlook Lite might miss the download request and continue to start. If this happens, unplug the instrument and restart the firmware download. At the end of the download, use the Setup->Info screen to check the “SW version” to ensure that the new version is loaded.
Appendix C – LNB Type Description There are several bands used for satellite transmission in use worldwide. In Europe, Ku band is predominantly used with some C band usage. In the US, C band, Ku band and Ka are used. The Ku band in US is divided into DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite) and FSS (Fixed Satellite Service) bands.

Universal LNB The Universal LNB can receive either horizontal or vertical polarisations depending on the LNB line voltage. 13V is used to select Vertical polarisation and 18V is used to select Horizontal polarisation. The Ku band for satellite reception is 2050 MHz wide (12750 - 10700) while the receiver input is only 1100 MHz wide (2150 –...
Most DiSEqC commands are 3 bytes in length but some can be up to 6 bytes long, so the transmission time of a DiSEqC message is on the order of 40 to 80 milliseconds. DiSEqC Commands Supported in Satlook Lite LNB1: 0xe0, 0x10, 0x38, 0xc0 LNB2: 0xe0, 0x10, 0x38, 0xc4...
Appendix E - DVB-S Description DVB-S uses phase shift keying to digitally modulate a carrier. Quadrature phase shift keying is used in both and the digital data is encoded as a 90 degree phase shift in the signal. This gives 4 possible states for each sampling interval. The sampling interval is called the Symbol Rate and each state of 2 bits is a Symbol.
