Trimax SM-4500 Digital Satellite Meter

Leave a reply

 

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

Leave a reply

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!

High Gain FTA LNBF’s

Leave a reply

Technology is rapidly changing now days and in the communications department faster than ever here in North America.  I especially like to see the changes that have taken place with LNBF’s (Low Noise Block down-converter with integrated feed) What does an LNBF do? Well it amplifies received signals and converts them from microwaves to lower L-band frequency signals which are then sent along a the coax cable to the satellite TV receiver. An LNB can be either single or double or even have 4 outputs.   Example if you decide that you want two TV’s with a satellite receiver a double LNB is required allowing the viewing of different channels on other televisions.  As a provider of Free To Air satellite equipment to installers, hobbyists and professional satellite providers we are constantly looking for better equipment.  Things that we look for are of course quality, performance and WARRANTY.  I judge a company by two things, service and warranty.  If the quality is there then I have a good match for providing my customers with the same.

I am going to introduce to you the Standard ESX-521 LNBF great for KU band and FTA satellite dishes.

The ESX-521 LNBF is HD ready and packs a gain of 70 db’s of gain and low noise of .2 db’s, well take a look at the specs.

Which Satellite Meter Should I Purchase.

Leave a reply

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

That email is just one of the many satisfied customers that has purchased the Lexium FastAlign 5110Pro meter from our website.
I do need to say a couple things about the Lexium FastAlign 5110Pro and that is this meter is very compact, in fact it fits in my coat pocket. I do love the feature the meter has to use in conjunction with the receiver to power the meter. You see I used the meter 3 days without charging and I forgot to charge it overnight, so the series feature saved my neck.
Did I mention this meter is very fast, it locks in on the signal even if you scan the azimuth quickly.
