The HD-STM features a LNB and cable test for satellite
installations. Pressing the Sat or Back soft key will return
you to the last selected satellite.
How this works: The Test function checks for possible
Cable or LNB fault conditions and provides a indicative result
as a guide only. The RF Level is checked without power and
then LNB power is applied, if the RF level increases then the
LNB is OK. If the LNB current is too low or too high then then
LNB or cable has a Fault condition.

After a few seconds the LNB and Satellite Cable Test
would have completed and the results will be displayed
in the centre of the screen as illustrated on the left.

If a Fault condition is reported back this indicates there is
no communication between your meter and the LNB and
examination of cable and connections is recommended.

SAT
In an LNB Fault condition it is most likely that the cable is
correctly passing voltage to operate the LNB but there is
no RF return from the LNB indicating that the LNB could
be at fault.
