Testing (Signal Strength)
•
Use the Service PIN to go to the TEST menu.
•
Select App for application module and then W/L for wireless.
•
Select Scan. Activate a sensor.
•
The screen will display information about each sensor it receives. E.g. Cnt56DB5 (door/window contact and its
address), 014 (input #14), 80 02 4 (sensor transmit codes).
•
Press XESC escape to return to the TEST screen. Press Signal.
•
Activate a sensor. Screen indicates signal strength of sensor it receives. E.g. “Strength is 8 !”. Signal strength of
7 to 8 is acceptable. Signal strength of 6 or less is poor to unacceptable. The input point # transmitting will also
indicate: (Tx: 014).
•
Another method to check if a sensor is transmitting is to stand near the RF module holding a sensor and activate
the sensor. The large green LED, visible through the module’s cover will flash upon activating the sensor to
indicate signal transmission.
