Customer Questions & Answers
What are the dimensions, weight and items included in the WS-6912 box?
The Satlink WS-6912 measures approximately 158 mm x 95 mm x 43 mm and weighs around 0.5 kg. The box includes the meter, internal rechargeable battery, power adapter, protective case and short coaxial cable. Please check with the supplier for the exact accessory list, as it may vary.
Is it compatible with Ku-band and C-band satellite systems? What frequency range does it support?
Yes, the WS-6912 supports Ku-band and C-band signals thanks to its 950 to 2150 MHz input frequency range. It is compatible with most standard LNBs for digital satellite television, provided the transponders are within that range.
Does the internal battery require any specific maintenance and what is its expected durability?
The internal battery is rechargeable and, under normal use, usually provides several hours of continuous operation. It is recommended to fully charge it before extended use and avoid storing it discharged to maximise its service life (typically 300-500 charge cycles). Batteries may need replacing after 2-3 years depending on use.
What should I do if the unit does not detect a signal or shows frequent quality errors?
It is recommended to check the coaxial cable connection, confirm the level and type of signal from the selected satellite, and verify the transponder data. Frequent errors usually indicate incorrect tuning parameters, dish alignment issues or a faulty LNB. Likewise, the input range must be between -65 and -25 dBm. Please refer to the manual for reset procedures and firmware updates.
What is the Satlink WS-6912 satellite finder used for?
It is used to align satellite dishes and locate DVB-S/DVB-S2 satellites accurately through digital signal measurement.
