UPM 1400 Main menu The image below depicts the main menu. Menu items are selected by using the cursor keys. Confirmation is done by pressing the OK button, gives access to this menu For quick adjustment to lighting conditions, various screen adjustments can be made using the function keys. -
Page 11: Satellite, Tp Search: Functions And Settings
UPM 1400 Satellite, TP search: functions and settings Important parameters such as LNB command and control signals are also permanently set in the TP search menu. Incorrect settings lead to malfunctions ! After selecting the desired satellite from the list of satellites offered, by pressing the OK button, you are now in the TP search menu for DVB-S/S2 signals where the reception parameters are specified, the transponders are classified and TV programs can be searched. -
Page 12: Satellite, Tp Search: Add/Edit A Transponder
UPM 1400 Function Key Options F1 - starts a channel search on the selected transponder F2 - displays signal level and quality in an enlarged display mode In the Zoom Signal menu, the signal level is displayed on the left and the signal quality is displayed on the right, both values in very large scale. -
Page 13: Satellite, Sat Identification
The example below shows the automatic identification of satellites during the search. The UPM 1400 searches for all satellites until it receives a signal for LNB 1 with the correct satellite ID. In the example below, the Astra 19.2E satellite has been detected at the DiSEqC LNB1 port. -
Page 14: Satellite, Packet Control: Satellite List
UPM 1400 Satellite, packet control: satellite list With the packet check function received on the TPs, all stored transponders of a respective satellite are measured and evaluated one after the other. By evaluating over a longer period of time, for example, errors can be determined that only occur sporadically. -
Page 15: Satellite, Diseqc Search
If you need to check an existing multi-satellite setup, you can use the DiSEqC search to quickly and easily check the current setup. The UPM 1400 checks all connected satellites, identifies them and displays the corresponding DiSEqC port. The analysis begins as soon as the function has been selected. You can cancel the search at any time by pressing the Exit button. -
Page 16: Satellite, Spectrum
UPM 1400 Satellite, spectrum The signal spectrum shows a graphical representation of the signal carriers on a certain satellite polarization in a certain frequency band. The selected frequency is displayed via a cursor in the form of a green line. -
Page 17: Satellite, Spectrum: Constellation Diagram
The screen shot below shows the rating and constellation diagram of a QPSK DVB-S modulated transponder by pressing the F2 key The UPM 1400 evaluates the signal parameters of a channel and displays them graphically using a constellation diagram. Ideally, the device receives a noise-free and interference-free signal. This is shown in 4 quadrants over many small dots which are grouped together and form circles. -
Page 18: Satellite Configuration, Alignment Settings
Satellite configuration, alignment settings Now that the antenna is pointing south and the elevation angle has been set to suit your location, the UPM 1400 can be connected to the LNB. The easiest way to line up is through the TP search menu. The detailed explanation of the different functions of this menu item can be found in chapter 5.1. -
