Verifying RF Signal Strength

Viewing Signal Strength for a Wireless Sensor

To verify the RF signal strength received by the EA800 perform the following procedure:

If the remote sensor transmitter you are verifying is battery powered, it may take up to 30 seconds for the console

to receive a transmission from the remote sensor.

The console displays an approximation of signal strength as indicated by the

number of filled boxes on the screen as shown at right.

Note: The date and time shown at the bottom of the

PERFORMANCE screen is the

time stamp of the last received transmission.

Ensure that at least 2

Signal Strength bars are displayed as shown at right. If not, it is

recommended that the sensor be relocated until at least 2 bars are achieved. More

bars reduces sensor alarm latency, reduces the probability of communication

alarms, and increases battery life.

For additional information on how to improve signal strength, refer to Winland

application note AN00101, found under Literature at www.ea800.net.
