Questions and answers
why has my s201 meter stopped showng sinal quality
Your Labgear S201 meter may have stopped showing signal quality due to several possible reasons:
1. Weak or No Signal – Ensure the satellite dish is correctly aligned, and the LNB is functioning properly.
2. LNB Short Circuit Protection Activated – If there is a short circuit in the LNB connection, the meter may disable signal detection. Check the cable and connections.
3. Incorrect Satellite Selection – Verify that the meter is set to the correct satellite and transponder.
4. DiSEqC or 22kHz Tone Settings – Ensure these settings match your satellite system requirements.
5. Low Battery – If the battery is low, recharge it using the provided charger.
6. Software Issue – Try updating the meter’s software using the USB port and supplied cable.
Check these factors, and if the issue persists, inspect the device for faults or consider resetting it.
