Smart Electronics NIT satellite meter.
Smartmeter S1.





The Smartmeter S1 NIT satellite meter with built in TV. Lightweight!
We have sold "Smart Titanium" LNBs for many years. Now Smart Electronic in Germany have introduced a new exciting
satellite meter. An "NIT" meter does not use the transponder frequencies transmitted from a satellite (which can go
out of date) to identify (ID) the satellite. An NIT meter uses the network ID on a satellite to identify a satellite. It is
highly unlikely the network ID would ever change. With meters that are not NIT, the manufacturer looks for a frequency
that is (hopefully) unique to that satellite. Sometimes there is no unique frequency and the meter suffers from
"cross ID" (sees the satellite in two or more places and only one place is correct). If there is a unique frequency,
it may change in the future, if that happens the satellite can no longer be found without a software upgrade or
manual input of new data (if a keyboard is built into the meter). There are less problems with an NIT meter as
it does not rely on volatile frequencies. Usually NIT meters are quite expensive but this one is very very reasonably
priced AND it has a built in TV. Smartmeter S1 Specifications. - the screen is 3.5-inch TFT-LCD, 720 x 576 pixel
for display of menus, values of strength and signal quality, numeric bar graph, spectrum analyser and TV pictures.
Battery and meter separated by a proper on-off-switch, Period of operation 4 – 8 hrs. (depending on operation mode)
Frequency range 950 MHz to 2150 MHz, Input level -65 dBm to -25 dBm, LNB power supply 13/18 V, max. 700 mA
LNB control signal 22 kHz, DiSEqC control, USB socket, AV connections for video and audio. You can input an external
signal to appear on the TV screen. DC input for mains or car charger. LiIon 2700mAh battery. Weight only 0.48Kg.
Weight including canvas case and shoulder strap 0.54Kg. Mains charger and car charger included. Beware - there are
some cheap meters that have a built in TV but they are just a small satellite receiver in a meter type case. Proper
satellite meters either don’t have a built in TV, or, if they do, it is best to make sure you see the key words
“NIT” and “Spectrum Analyser”. Links to a pdf download of the S1 manual is below.
Mini review. Testing the Smartmeter S1. 19/02/2013
Boot up is almost instant. The menu system is very easy to use with nine icons on the main menu page that appear when
you turn on the meter. When you use the cursor to highlight an icon the menu name appears at the top of the screen.
Selecting "TP Search" and the meter will find the satellite using the NIT system. To try to fool the meter we connected
it to a dish on Astra 2 at 28E but asked the meter to find Astra 1. There is a usually a cross ID between Astra 2 and
Astra 1 which can fool many meters. It showed both signal strength and quality when looking for Astra 1 but the network
ID displayed "Astra 2 found" and this proved the NIT function was working well. After finding any satellite, switching
to a TV picture confirms everything is OK. The sound is also very clear. Ideal when playing back media files through the TV.
The spectrum analyser was also tested and it produced very easy to read clear results. There is also a search system in
the "Satellite Identify" menu which is an excellent additional tool. If you connect the meter to a satellite dish and you
don't know what the dish is pointing at, the meter will search through all of the satellites until it finds the one the dish
is pointing at. This may take a few minutes but it does work. There is a PC editing program on the manufacturers web site.
Satellite Superstore has edited the 94 satellites in the memory to be in an easy access logical order for the UK and Europe.
The new dataset developed by us is loaded into the meters prior to being shipping out. Everything about this meter is fast
and easy. Very impressed. Satellite Superstore are authorised distributors of Smartmeters for Smart Electronic.
Satellite Superstore has sold professional meters since 1999 and so our usual high level of support is available.

installers may prefer the S20 to the S1. The S20 (and the S1) work on both Ku band and Ka band. (use of Ka band
is increasing). Also note there is a link below to a pdf download of the S20 manual.

Primesat SF-600 low cost professional
meter. Built in rechargeable battery.





Identifies satellites. Light - only 306g. Easy to use.
This meter has a built in battery and can be connected direct to an LNB (using the input connector). To find the satellite, no
other connections are needed, the meter will find the selected satellite. Even though connection to a satellite receiver is not
required, it does have an IF loop through (and output connector) which can connect to a receiver in case the user wants to
monitor the picture on a TV set at the same time. Mains / 12 volt charger and USB data connection lead included. This meter
is ideal for DIY, mobile caravan use or installers. Since it identifies the satellite, set up time is usually under 2 minutes.
Please don't mix this meter up with others you may find on the Internet which look similar. These meters are specially built and
prepared for the Satellite Superstore and they have our own prescribed dataset installed at the factory. We wanted the meters
to be simple to use but also have some useful options. For that reason 3 satellites are pre-programmed. Astra 2 at 28E for the
English channels from freesat or Sky, Astra 1 at 19E and Hotbird at 13E. If you are in a caravan and touring a long way from the
UK, Astra 2 may be difficult to find and may need a dish too large to carry. With this meter you can switch to Astra 1 or Hotbird
and still find some useful channels including "BBC World". To put more than 3 satellites into the meter would have made it more
complicated and not so quick and easy to use. 3 satellites seemed like the best balance for the budget / quality meter market.
Note - other satellites can be added manually using the buttons on the meter if required. (Similar looking meters found on the
internet are usually full of Chinese satellites and may not have been pre-prepared. Or if they have, Astra 2 may be mixed up
with all of the many Chinese satellites and that can be confusing. The unwanted satellites cannot be deleted.) There are none
of those problems with this Primesat meter. Also note, similar looking meters usually do not have a built in battery. Very cheap
meters which do not ID the satellites can take much longer to use and whilst they may be OK for a one off installation, they are
not recommended for regular use. An ideal meter for finding the satellite quickly at an excellent and very competitive price.

satellite meter.





Identifies satellites. Built in TV. Easy to use. Only 448g.
This meter is ideal for installers, mobile caravan use or DIY. Since it identifies the satellite, set up time is usually under two
minutes. Please don't mix this meter up with others you may find on the Internet which look similar. These meters are specially
built and prepared for the Satellite Superstore and they have our own dataset installed in our workshops. This includes 43
satellites. Satellite number 1 in the list is Astra 2 at 28E for the English channels, but other satellites include Astra 1 (19E),
Hotbird (13E), Thor (1W), Hispasat (30W) and many others. Indeed all of the satellites we can see in our Sky with a reasonable
sized dish are included. If there are changes in the future, satellites can be added or edited using the keypad. To use the meter,
you switch on using a proper on-off switch (so no battery drain while off) then select "Installation", then "Dish setting".
Astra 2 appears at the top of the screen and is highlighted. At the bottom of the screen are the signal strength and signal
quality meters ready to start. It could not be easier. Once the satellite is found you can switch to TV (or spectrum Analyser)
if you wish. This meter is at a very competitive price. Full telephone support is available for all of our customers.

Satcatcher Setsat meter.

A very high quality reliable meter. Identifies satellite.



Case included. Mains charger included. Many satellites in database. The meter comes in a strong padded case.
This is a high quality robust meter from a UK manufacturer.
That means fast support from the manufacturer on the very rare occasions there may be a problem. We have sold many
of these meters in the last two or three years and there have been (almost) zero returns. Only a very very rare battery
issue where a replacement battery needed to be sent out. This is a fantastic reliability record. It is difficult to describe
the qualities of this meter until the customer actually holds it and uses it. In your hand it feels like a robust professional
piece of kit with a high build quality. It has a full keypad which means any changes to satellites in the sky can be entered
manually through the keypad without needing a computer or manufacturers software. The display is not large but this fact does
give the meter an advantage - all parameters are displayed by scrolling up and down with the cursor or pressing the appropriate
button but with a strong case and smaller screen this makes the meter much less likely to be damaged by day to day regular use
(especially if dropped). This meter is very easy to use. If an engineer at Satellite Superstore wants to set up a dish, or use
the test facility dish farm outside to test an LNB etc. it is the meter of choice they will want to use. This is because it
is so quick and easy. It is slightly larger than other meters in this price range (although still only 800g) and again
this means that there are no fiddly small buttons and indeed they are proper buttons and not just marks that flex on a
membrane. Until you hold and use this meter you don't really realise how good it is.
