Overview

The Matrix RF Signal Tester is used to evaluate the 
Matrix RF signal quality for locating the Transceiver(s) in 
a new or existing Matrix facility. 

The quality of Matrix RF signals can be affected by 
building characteristics such as building size and type of 
construction. Other RF devices located in the building or 
close by can also interfere with Matrix RF signals. The 
RF Signal Tester will assist you in positioning the Matrix 
Transceiver(s) in the best possible location.

The RF Signal Tester is battery powered and contains 
RF hardware identical to that used in Matrix Meters and 
Tank Level Monitors (TLMs).

The RF Signal Tester requires a Matrix Transceiver 
to function properly.

 The Transceiver must be posi-

tioned in the building as close as possible to the position 
of intended installation. The Transceiver must be pow-
ered up, but does not need to be connected to a PC.

If the facility already has a functioning Matrix system, 
the RF Signal Tester can utilize the existing Transceiver 
without interrupting or interfering with the Matrix system. 
A second “test” Transceiver can still be used, if desired, 
as long as its dip switch settings are not already in use 
by another Transceiver in the facility.

Removing and Replacing the Battery

1.

Remove the battery by pressing in on both battery 
lock buttons (E) and pulling the battery (F) out and 
away from the Signal Tester. See F

. 1.

2.

Place the battery in the Graco Matrix battery char-
ger. 

See Instruction Manual 309502 for details.

3.

Replace the battery by pressing in on both battery 
lock buttons (E) and pushing the battery (F) into the 
Signal Tester.
