The PS has a Radio Signal Test mode that monitors the state of the radio link to the CS for site survey. In Radio Signal Test mode, the frame loss and signal strength of a synchronous slot, and the signal strength of the other slots can be measured when the PS is monitoring the CS. After installing the CSs temporarily as planned during site planning, set the PS to Radio Signal Test mode and locate each CS to measure its coverage area. Then, record the results on the map of the installation site.

Testing the Radio Signal Strength

After locating the CS(s) temporarily, execute the Radio Signal Test using the PS. Directly after entering Radio Signal Test mode, the PS scans channel 0 for a CS that it can connect to. The channel to be scanned can be changed by pressing the appropriate keys 0 through 9.

*1 : Channel number

*2 : Slot number

*3 : When a slot is synchronised, "SYNC" is displayed.

*4 : Radio signal strength level

*5 : Frame error (0000 to 9999)/Frame counter (0000 to 9999). Frame error indicates the number of errors out of 10 000 radio signal receptions. An increased number of frame errors indicates greater radio signal interference and more frequent noise during conversation. The ideal number of frame errors is "0000".
