SatHero SH-500G Satellite Meter with GPS

The SatHero SH-500G packs a lot of bang for the buck when it comes to high tech satellite meters. With its huge 7 inch full color screen, Fast Sweep technology and GPS finding, this meter makes satellite finding and dish aligning a snap.  I was skeptical at first when we tested this meter and after hours of rigorous testing in the field and on the bench tests, we found this meter to be one of the best satellite finders that we have tested so far. It might not feel as solid as others because of its plastic case, but it does the job at an affordable price.  We only produce videos for equipment that we like.  Check it out below and don’t forget to see all the features below the video.

Trimax SM-4500 Digital Satellite Meter

 

The question I get most often from emails I receive on the Trimax digital meters  is, “How does this meter compare to the Bird Dog meter?”  There are only a few similarities.  The Trimax SM-4500 digital satellite finder has many functions and it would take to much time to elaborate on all of them now.  So, we have produced a video on my Youtube channel covering most of the function the Trimax digital meters has.  Now back to the major differences.  First, you have a video monitor where you can clearly see the results of your alignment.  With the other meters you can’t see if your image is tiling or braking up on you, but with the Trimax SM-4500 digital satellite finder you can.  It has a 3.5 inch screen for you to view your channel. Plus you can see your video image and C/N ratio by pressing an F key.  Monitoring your radio stations on the Trimax SM-4500 digital satellite finder is no problem either.  Just hit an F key and you’re there.  Want to check the C/N ratio on your radio stations?  Just hit another F key, how easy is that? 

Now the feature that I enjoy the most from the Trimax SM-4500 is the real time spectrum analyzer, watch the video on our website.  www.IdealSatelliteServices.com/trimax_sm-4500.html

QuickSweep Technology

The question I get over and over again is what does the QuickSweep Technology do for my Lexium FastAlign 5110Pro?

That is a very good question because there is only one meter that offers this technology that is so affordable and so full of features in such as small package.  For those of you that do not know what a FastAlign® 5110Pro digital satellite meter is, well this meter is a professional grade satellite meter that allows a professional technician to align any satellite dish, C, Ku, or DSS, with ease.

Yes! this meter is priced very affordable, yet offers all the options needed by a technician to easily and quickly install any satellite dish.

Okay so lets get into what the QuickSweep Technology is.
The QuickSweep technology is used inside every Lexium FastAlign 5110Pro satellite meter finder.

This refers to the quick turn around time between the time that your dish locks onto the targeted satellite signal and the time that it’s displayed on the meter screen.  This is made possible by the super fast processor and decoder used inside the FastAlign 5110Pro line of professional satellite meters. As you may have experienced with other meter with slower processors, usually, you have to move your dish very slowly, or move and stop, move and stop, in order to allow the meter or satellite receivers to process the signal it receives and turn around and display it on the screen.  This sometimes can take up to 3 or 4 seconds.  3 or 4 seconds may not seem like a long time, when you consistently move your dish in order to try and lock into your targeted satellite signal, you may very easily pass your targeted satellite without getting a reading on the meter.   This will waste your valuable time every time you try to do a satellite installation quickly and move to your next installation job, not to mention it can be very frustrating.

So again do you see the benefit to using a Lexium FastAlign 5110Pro satellite meter!

When it comes to meters, the choice is clear.  Rely on the best by using a Lexium FastAlign 5110Pro satellite meter finder for your installation business regardless of where you are located around the world, in any continent, in any country!

Difference Between The New Lexium FastAlign 5110Pro &The 5100 Meters

The FastAlign® 5110Pro digital satellite meter is a professional grade satellite meter sold by Ideal Satellite Services an authorized dealer. This meter allows a professional technician to align any satellite dish, C, Ku, or DSS, with ease, thanks to the QuickSweep Technology exclusively available on LEXIUM meters.  Priced afford-ably low, yet offers all the options needed by a technician to easily and quickly install any satellite dish.

The FastAlign® 5110Pro allows the user to use the parameters of the hundreds of preprogrammed satellite settings in the FastAlign® 5110Pro or the user can edit the transponder, symbol rate, polarity, and LNBF LO frequency all on one screen & directly from the oversize keyboard of the meter or with the new and improved PC software with the built in QuickRecovery® software.

Improvements over the older FastAlign® 5100Pro:
The new & improved Lexium FastAlign® 5110Pro has a few major differences than the previous model.

1.  One of the most useful and obvious improvement is 3-digit azimuth reading.  Now, you can be anywhere in the world and you can easily find the azimuth, elevation, and polarization of your targeted satellite.  Just type in your latitude and longitude and the meter will automatically calculate your satellite dish settings for you.

2.  A brand new screen that will give you a much better visibility in direct sunlight.

3.  New and improved power circuitry draws less power from the battery while the meter is on stand-by (off).  This gives you longer battery life than the older model, or the fake LEXIUM meters you may have seen being produced.

4.  There are some changes that are made to the PC software of the new model. See the software improvements below QuickRecovery®.

1.  The first difference is the QuickRecovery®Software, which is only available on this meter Lexium FastAlign 5110Pro.

2.  The second difference is that we have added a 22KHz switch column to the satellite list.  Now you can set your 22KHz switch to “ON” or “OFF” and the setting will be saved when you load your meter with the new satellite list.

What is QuickRecovery® Software?
QuickRecovery® Software restores your FastAlign 5110Pro satellite meter back to original factory condition after power or software/data transfer interruption that can almost always result in a dead meter.  Here is how.

If you have had any experience with programming a satellite receiver via computer, you have more than likely ran into a situation that you accidentally either lost power, loaded a non-compatible software or channel list, or had an interruption during your transfer that resulted in your receiver “going bad” or dying and becoming useless.  You may have heard people mentioning that you have to open the receiver, find the flash memory and  having to JTag the receiver in order to reset or erase the flash memory and reloading the default software or channel/satellite list or software.

This is the same for almost any electronic device, including satellite meters.  Software or data is stored on your meter’s flash memory.  If you load the wrong software, or if you loose power while you are loading data to your meter, the flash memory becomes unusable resulting in a dead meter.  Before, you had to open your meter, find the flash chip, use JTag hardware & software to erase the flash memory, then load factory software back onto your device.  Sounds complicated?  Yes, it could be, and it can also be very time consuming.

But now, with the all new QuickRecovery®Software that is built into the loader of the FastAlign 5110Pro, you don’t have to worry about any of this.  If you were to load the wrong software, or if your power or data transfer gets interrupted, you can use the “Recovery” button on the loader software of the FastAlign 5110Pro satellite meter and your meter will go back to the original factory software and setting!  This is another reason why you should always purchase a brand name satellite meter, like the Lexium FastAlign® 5110Pro.

The satellite meter also features back light to allow the satellite installer to install in the dark.  The screen is divided into 5 sections.

The top section provides the Azimuth, Elevation, and LNBF Polarization of the desired satellite.

The left middle section provides the location of the desired satellite, the transponder frequency, symbol rate, LNBF LO frequency, LNBF polarization ( 13=V / 18=H ), and 22KHz power.

The right middle section provides signal information such as signal level, signal quality, strength, and signal noise.  If there is no “S” reading, there is no connection between the LNBF and the meter.

The left bottom section provides the databank of the pre-programmed satellite parameter.

The left bottom section provides the users Latitude, Longitude, and and meter information.

Which Satellite Meter Should I Purchase.

I always get this question asked: Will a satellite meter make my job easier?  I always reply why of course it will, free to air satellite installers and subscription installers use meters because it speeds up the satellite scan and installation procedure.  Then, I explain the whole procedure and show them my video that is on our Youtube channel. What is the next question?  Which meter should I buy?  I have used many expensive and elaborate type of meters and they all work great.  Some are better than others of course and some easy to use and other are very complicated.  But I have narrowed my research to 2 meters.  One meter gives a video display on the screen of what is on the satellites transponder and frequency and the other has all the standard feature as any professional meter.  In fact this meter is a professional meter, but with out the high cost as all the other and has 2 times the warranty. What meter am I talking about?  The meter that I am talking about is the Lexium FastAlign 5110Pro digital satellite finder.  I have learn to love the functionality of this meter, for the size and its powerful performance.  The Lexium FastAlign 5110Probatteries last a long time on a single charge and it now has a longer stand-by shelf time.  I can monitor the signal intensity, signal quality, dbmv, Carrier to noise, etc.  Plus a very nice feature that is designed right into the all the Lexium FastAlign 5110Pro meters is the satellite location in its arch.  You enter your lat and log and at the top of the meter it will calculate your Azimuth, Elevation and Skew.

I can go on and on, but to talk is cheep and seeing is believing.  So, check out this meter in action pay us visit at: Ideal Satellite Services
