Connect a short jumper cable (coaxial) from the LNB on your satellite dish to the port on the RV3 marked "TO LNB."
Slowly pan the dish horizontally (Azimuth) and vertically (Elevation).
The Deutsche Technologie RV3 manual does not oversell the device. It clearly states that the RV3 is a “beeper with a meter,” not a spectrum analyzer. It cannot identify which satellite you are pointing at—only that a signal exists. Therefore, the manual urges users to use known, active transponder frequencies from their receiver. Additionally, safety warnings include never looking directly at the sun when aligning a dish, ensuring the dish is securely mounted to avoid falling, and disconnecting the finder during thunderstorms to prevent lightning damage.
Use the meter's built-in functions to find and lock a signal: Select Satellite : In the menu, move the cursor to and use the arrow buttons to choose the desired satellite Configure LNB : Ensure the LO Frequency in the meter match the hardware on your dish Adjust Dish Position
Go indoors and plug in the satellite receiver. Turn the receiver power switch ON.
Tighten the dish brackets securely, ensuring the signal level does not drop during tightening. Step 6: Disconnecting the Finder
Always keep a high-quality 3-foot RG6 jumper cable in your RV kit specifically for the RV3.
If the RV3 is "beeping" constantly with a high reading, press the button to reduce the sensitivity until the scale reads about 20%–30%. This gives you "room" to see the signal increase as you move the dish. Step C: The Sweep
