Note: Although each unit can serve as C-Jam master it is very important that
just one
is actually
designated as such and sending out broadcasts. All other units just set to C-Jam mode as slaves.
Changing from “Master” to any other mode will immediately stop C-Jam broadcasts from this
unit.

The Antenna Menu is also available under Sys/Config for configuration when no ACN mode is currently
selected.
Sequentially adjust the ACN RF settings. First, select individual default ACN channels for “C-Jam” and
“TRX” mode. Frequencies refer to channels 11 through 26 of the IEEE 802.15.4 LR-WPAN standard (see
Appendix for details). Afterwards enable the Low Noise Amplifier if required. This will improve the
reception with a slight impact on battery life. In “Extended” menu view on ACL204 and ACN-TL you can
persistently select between internal and external antenna and lastly increase the radiated power. Since
this may not be legal depending on your local regulations the last setting is PIN protected. Please
consult your dealer if in doubt.
Note: Fitting an external antenna will give you the most noticeable range boost of all tweaks and
comes at no cost of battery life. As such, more recent ACN devices such as ACN-LS and ACN-ML
do not offer internal antenna. If you plan on using the ACN intensively, retrofitting an external
SMA antenna to Lockit and Tiny Lockit is highly recommended.
