WIRELESS SENSORS:
Problem 1
The 2800 won’t add my wireless sensor or the 2800 has frequent
wireless communication alarms.
Cause
There are several possibilities:
a) The sensor may be too far from the
2800
b) The sensor may not be receiving
power.
c) There may be interference from
another 2.4GHz device.
d) Sensor antenna may be poorly
positioned relative to the 2800.
Solution
a) Move the sensor or the 2800 so that
they are closer to each other
b) Add a repeater between the 2800
and sensor.
c) Change to a different wireless
channel on both the 2800 and all of
your sensors.
d) Increase the distance from other
2.4Ghz devices such as wireless
routers or laptop computers with
wireless capability.
e) Make sure the power supply wires
are connected correctly.
f) Check that the batteries are
installed correctly.
g) Adjust the sensor antenna or
reposition the sensor.
Problem 2
There is a delay from the time the alarm occurs until the 2800
responds
Cause
a) The sensors only communicate with
the 2800 once every 20 seconds so
a delayed response to an alarm is
normal.
