USER’S MANUAL. SATHUNTER+. Figure below shows the display of SATHUNTER+ in detect mode. Among the data shown, there is the voltage average supplied to the LNB and if it is being applied the 22 kHz signal. Figure 10.- DETECT function. If no signal is detected, the display will show horizontal bars at minimum level and the percentage of power rate at 0 %. - Page 21 USER’S MANUAL. SATHUNTER+. Note: We advise to assign two test points to each satellite, the first one with vertical polarization and the second one with horizontal polarization in order to guarantee the identification of the satellite. The key [2] enables you, as you can see at figure 11, to change the selected test point in a sequential way.
