Setting the RF Validation Level
An RF transmitter must send repetitions of data for the receiver to accept it as valid data. In some installations, interference and physical structures may interfere with the receiver's ability to detect the transmitted signal. The signal may become distorted. The receiver can be set to use either two or three repetitions of sequential signals to validate and accept the signal data. To set the receiver's RF level.
