Applies to: H30FLEX satellite measurements at an accessible documented test point. Options and reference numbers vary.
Match your symptom
| What you see | What to do next |
|---|---|
| No lock on all test channels | Check plan, LNB and switching settings before alignment. |
| Lock but quality fails | Compare the quality profile with the actual test point. |
Work through these checks
Confirm the satellite plan
In Setup, select Sat band and the intended satellite plan. Choose current transponders in Satellite Test; an old channel entry may no longer be transmitted.
What the result means: A failed test can be a plan mismatch, not a moved dish.
Check LNB and switching
Compare Universal/C Band/Other, oscillator and DiSEqC selection with the installation record. Never guess supply settings on an unfamiliar shared system.
What the result means: These settings determine which signal the meter receives.
Match the assigned SCR slot
For a single-cable system, compare multiswitch, standard, slot and frequency. The active SCR icon identifies the selected slot; subsequent tuning changes apply to that slot.
What the result means: Do not overwrite another receiver’s allocation.
When to stop and get help
Stop for supply alarms or unknown communal wiring. If settings match but no current carrier locks, give the results to an installer; do not climb or move the dish as a test.
What to tell support
Record reference, firmware, test point, plan, transponders, LNB type, SCR allocation and measured quality/profile.
Common questions
Should I change the geographic area to fix a plan?
Export customer plans first. The manual warns that changing area removes existing channel plans. Adding a repository plan is a different operation.
