FUNCTIONALITY  
The MSK 125 is a mobile multi-purpose measuring device intended for analogue TV and  
Satellite, FM radio and for DVB-C, DVB-S(2) and DVB-T for battery and mains operation. The  
integrated 6.5 Ah lithium-ion battery and a rechargeable 230 V AC power unit are included in  
the scope of supply.  
A micro controller is responsible for the entire controlling, keypad query and display of  
frequency and level on the LC display. The receiving frequency is indicated in MHz. The  
level is measured with a peak and mean value detector and displayed digitally in dBµV or  
dBmV. Correction values are determined during the MSK 125 level calibration and stored in  
an EEPROM. This ensures precise level measuring. Up to 100 measuring device settings  
can be stored as well.  
A second micro controller allows you to store several 1000 measuring results on an SC card  
or to read the SD card (up to 1GB) via USB.  
For transmitter location the display has a bar graph. Additionally, a level-dependent bearing  
sound facilitates directing an antenna without having to look at the display.  
The audio unit with integrated speaker can process and render SAT NF signals, the TV NF  
signals of B/G, D/K and I, FM sound signals as well as DVB-C, DVB-T and DVB-S(2). NICA  
and AM sound rendering (standard L) is also possible.  
Remote power feed of 5 ... 20 V/max. 600 mA (in 0.1 Volt increments), the superposition  
of 22 kHz and the possibility of sending DiSEqCTM commands covers all currently  
known requirements. With DVB-T a 5 V antenna feeding voltage can be received at the  
RF connector. Also, the MZV 10 preamplier or similar preampliers can be fed remotely.  
The integrated, transective 5.7“ TFT colour display with a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels  
allows for picture evaluation of analogue and digital TV and SAT signals in the dark as well  
as in sunlight.  
A large black and white LC displayshows the measurement results with very high contrasts.

DISEQCTM (DIGITAL SATELLITE EQUIPMENT CONTROL)  
The DiSEqCTM system is used to control systems with extended  
control functions. DiSEqCTM uses a serial, bi-directional transmission  
process with a master and one or multiple slaves. The data bits  
are generated with pulse width modulation of the already existent  
22 kHz carrier and are superimposed with 600 mVSS of the LNB  
remote feeding voltage. The digital code words are composed  
of 8 data bits and one additional parity bit for the recognition of  
transmission errors. Multiple code words form one DiSEqCTM  
command. Code words are entered in hex code:

COMMAND OVERVIEW FOR DISEQCTM  
If a DiSEqCTM matrix is activated via DiSEqCTM command, it  
must rst be ensured that the analogue LNB control voltage  
is set to the correct Satellite frequency plane. I.e. if a vertical  
satellite frequency plane is required, it is essential to set  
the analogue LNB control voltage to 14 V. Then the correct  
DiSEqCTM command can be selected and sent.

MAINTENANCE  
The device maintenance is basically limited to outside cleaning.  
DEVICE CALIBRATION  
The caliber interval depends on the use and load and should be between one and two years. Calibration  
can be done by Kathrein customer service. For address see next page.  
OUTSIDE CLEANING  
For outside cleaning a soft cloth, non-linting duster or paint brush is recommended. For strong  
contamination spirit or mild soapsuds can be used as well. Never use any dissolvers like nitro-cellulose  
combination thinner, acetone, etc., as these may damage the plastic parts and labels.  
INSIDE CLEANING  
Caution!  
Since inside cleaning requires opening the device, such activity must be done by authorized personnel  
only. The device should be dust-cleaned inside in regular intervals, app. every one to two years, to  
ensure optimum ventilation. Cleaning intervals are based on the daily operating time and the dust volume  
in operating rooms. For inside cleaning remove the back wall or the control part. Dust deposits can  
be removed using a brush or grease-free compressed air.

TECHNICAL APPENDIX  
SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO  
To determine the carrier-to-noise-ratio (C/N) for analogue  
transponders, the following values must be known:  
• Ambient noise level (adjust parabolic antenna so that no  
satellite signal is received)  
• max. reception signal  
• Bandwidth correction  
The following formula applies:  
C/N = reception signal level - ambient noise level - bandwidth correction  
(MSK 125 measurement bandwidth) 6 MHz  
Bandwidth correction value = 10 log ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––  
RF bandwidth reception signal  
Bandwidth correction value = 6.37 dB for 26 MHz bandwidth (Astra)  
Bandwidth correction value = 7.78 dB for 36 MHz (Eutelsat, Intelsat,  
Kopernikus)

CALCULATION OF SAT IF FREQUENCY USING THE MSK 125  
This is done as follows:  
IF = reception frequency - oscillation frequency  
The oscillation frequency is made up as follows:  
9750 MHz oscillator frequency is used for a reception frequency between 10700 MHz and 11700 MHz.  
10600 MHz is used for a reception frequency between 11700 MHz and 12750 MHz.  
Hence the values for ARD - Das Erste are:  
IF = reception frequency - oscillation frequency  
IF = 11836 MHz - 10600 MHz  
IF = 1236 MHz
