10. Pair the transmitter by aligning the IR ports (the divot on the transmitter and the small round port in
the upper center portion of the receiver front) and clicking the trigger.
11. After pairing, the transmitter defaults to using the Down band. Calibrate with the transmitter in a
housing in both the Up and Down bands, then perform an AGR test as described in the Falcon F5
operator's manual.
Full Scale Sensitive Pitch (FSSP)
FSSP mode requires an FSSP-capable transmitter. FSSP provides 0.1% pitch resolution throughout the
entire range of ±99.9% slope for precision grade work.
FSSP is included on Falcon F5 19" and 15" fluid pressure transmitters with software v2.1.1.0 or
higher. You can view a transmitter's software version by selecting

while holding the IR port to the receiver as if you were pairing. If you select FSSP
mode while pairing but it is not available on the transmitter, the transmitter will pair but only
provide the standard pitch resolution.
After the transmitter pairing request screen, select

But in FSSP mode, the FTP transmitter retains and transmits 0.1% resolution at all times within ±99.9%
slope.
