8. Checking the rF reception level.
The range of the remote control can depend strongly on the environment in which the unit is used. Metal walls,
fences, columns etc. can infl uence the operating range. The RSSI value offers an indication as to how well a data
packet will be received. This value varies between 28 and 85. One has the greatest risk of losing communication from
a value of 80.
You can monitor the range in the following way:
• Set a zone to active (sound on)
• Go to the settings menu
• Choose ‘RF Network’
• You will see the RSSI value of the last message received.
• Press on volume lower/higher.
• You will see the RSSI value changing each time you press the volume buttons.
Here some indications:
RSSI: -28…-70 : Good range.
RSSI: -70...-80 : Suffi cient range.
RSSI: >-80
: Poor range, possible loss of communication.
Whenever the antenna symbol is moving, there is no connection with the base unit (ART8.8 or ART5.4)
9. rF network reset.
9.1 With an rF network reset, all synchronised settings will be deleted from the memory. At the same time, the
system will adjust to the best RF channel taking the ambient conditions into account. Any network reset takes place
on the ART5.4/8.8 base unit.
You can perform a network reset in the following way:
• Press briefl y on the set-up button on the ART5.4/8.8 until the text ‘RF Network reset’ appears on the display of the
ART8.8/5.4
• Press and hold the set-up button on the ART5.4/8.8
9.2 rF Extender.
If the range of the remote control appears insuffi cient in certain environments you can make use of the optional
‘EXT5.4/8.8 RF extender’. This product extends the working range of the RM54.88 remote control. Consult the
instructions of this product for more information.
