Signal Strength Testing/Wireless Systems

To test the operation of wireless transmitters, proceed as follows.

1. Enter the Fault-Find Mode. (See Dealer Mode on page 52. Panel must be disarmed).

2. Fault a point of the transmitter to be tested by opening the loop. If the signal strength of the transmitter is

3 or greater, the keypad will beep, as follows:

Signal Power

Beeps

0-2

0

3

1

4-5

2

6-7

3

8-10

4

3. Restore the wireless point (close the loop).

The transmitter signal strength will be displayed on a scale of 3-10 with 3 considered marginal and 10 considered excellent. Note that if the signal strength is less than 3, the keypad will not beep and the strength will not be displayed. Except in the Fault-Find Mode, signal strengths less than 3 will be entered into the system log. Upon zone restore, the keypad will beep once.
