RF (radio frequency) signal link testing
This unit provides a convenient RF link test, to ensure good RF transmission without setting off the alarm.
Hit the TEST button and hold for a couple of seconds. The unit will sound one beep or five consecutive beeps. This will depend on whether the unit is set to ON or OFF. Continue to hold this TEST button for three seconds until you hear three consecutive beeps. The unit will send out a RF alarm signal
to the receiver inside the house without setting itself off.
The receiver inside the house should sound within ten seconds after this three consecutive beeps. If the receiver does not ring, move the receiver to another location and check the installation again. Ensure all POOLEYE devices are set to the same channel. (Refer to channel A/ B select of both pool side alarm transmitter and receiver).
IMPORANT NOTES:
Remember to check the RF link periodically to ensure good RF transmission. If the RF signal is weak, replace the battery in the pool side alarm with a new one.
RF signal can be transmitted through a solid wall. However, it is possible that this may weaken the RF signal. To avoid this, it is important to place the receiver in a straight line of sight to the transmitter whenever possible.
The microprocessor (built in the transmitter) is programmed to make three attempts to send the encoded RF signal out to the receiver. If the first attempt fails, the transmitter will change the coding and make a second attempt. If it fails again, the transmitter will change the coding and try for the third time. As a result, you may experience a few seconds delay between setting off the pool side alarm transmitter to the receiver.
Battery level affects RF signal strength.Weak battery in the pool side alarm transmitter will give weak RF signal out.
