Customer Questions & Answers
What types of signals can the Satlink WS-6909 measure and analyse, and what advantages does it offer over terrestrial-only or satellite-only meters?
The Satlink WS-6909 can measure and analyse both DVB-T digital terrestrial TV signals (DTT, COFDM) and DVB-S satellite signals, making it easier to work on mixed installations without needing two devices. It supports QPSK, 16QAM and 64QAM demodulation, with a frequency range of 46–870 MHz for terrestrial and 950–2150 MHz for satellite, covering most current standards. Compared with dedicated meters, it offers versatility, although it may lack some advanced functions found on professional models focused on a single signal type.
What are the dimensions, weight and exact box contents of the product?
The Satlink WS-6909 measures approximately 180 × 95 × 48 mm and weighs around 0.5 kg. The package usually includes: the WS-6909 meter, mains charger, short test coaxial cable, strap or carry case, and user manual. This may vary by distributor, so it is advisable to check the accessories list when buying.
Does it need an external power supply to operate and what electrical compatibility does it offer with satellite LNBs?
The meter includes a rechargeable battery for portable use. It can supply power directly from the RFIN input to devices such as LNBs, supporting 5V, 12V, 15V, 18V or 24V (maximum 100 mA), compatible with most standard LNBs and active antenna devices. It is important to ensure the load does not exceed the specified maximum current to avoid overload.
Can the unit measure technical parameters such as BER, C/N ratio and signal strength, and what are its operating ranges?
Yes, the WS-6909 measures key parameters such as BER (Bit Error Rate), carrier-to-noise ratio (C/N), signal strength and signal quality in both DVB-T and DVB-S. It operates effectively with an input level range of 40–110 dBμV for terrestrial and -65 dBm to -25 dBm for satellite, covering the needs of installation and fine-tuning in domestic and semi-professional environments.
What safety elements and standards does it include, and how does it compare with higher-end devices in robustness and protection?
The WS-6909 complies with basic CE electrical standards for electronic equipment, but due to its portable category and price, it does not have reinforced EMI shielding or advanced overvoltage protection on the inputs. Higher-end devices may include greater robustness, ESD protection and additional professional-grade certifications. It is recommended to handle the meter using good practice and avoid connecting it in environments without proper discharge protection.
What is the Satlink WS-6909 signal meter used for?
It is used to measure and analyse terrestrial digital television (DVB-T) and satellite (DVB-S) signals, allowing you to check signal quality and strength for installations and maintenance.
What types of signal can the Satlink WS-6909 measure?
It can measure DVB-T (Freeview) and DVB-S (satellite) signals, including parameters such as BER, C/N, signal quality, FEC and signal strength.
How long does the Satlink WS-6909 battery last?
The lithium-ion battery has a capacity of 3000 mAh and offers 4 to 6 hours of operating time when fully charged.
Is it compatible with DiSEqC systems?
Yes, it is compatible with DiSEqC 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 and USALS versions for LNB control and satellite switching.
Does it include a car charger?
Yes, the meter includes a car charger as well as the AC/DC power adapter.
