Exit and Start Over

It may be convenient to enter the menu once to run tests and configure 
settings. However, if you want to exit the menu without waiting for it to 
time out you can use the first menu item. 

• When the green LED blinks once, press and hold the 

[Teach]

 button 

until the white LED blinks twice. The MC-31 then flashes all the LEDs 
and exits the menu.

Range Confirmation Test

The Range Confirmation Test quantifies the wireless signal strength with a 
linked controller that has range confirmation capability.

1. Press and hold the 

[Teach]

 button until the white LED blinks twice.

2. Press and release the 

[Teach] 

button to cycle through the menu of 

color LEDs and stop when the blue LED blinks once.

3. Press and hold the 

[Teach]

 button until the white LED blinks twice to 

initiate the Range Confirmation Test.

After the MC-31 transmits and receives a Range Confirmation message, the 
signal strength status is then displayed (see table below). 

The test runs for 50 seconds. To exit before time-out, press and hold the 

[Teach] 

button until the white LED blinks twice.

Note:

The sensor should be linked to one controller only to run 
the test properly. Disable repeaters in range.
