Product Summary
The RF Sniffer is a portable diagnostic tool used to assist
installers during installations and service technicians when
troubleshooting a system. Since radio waves cannot be
seen, the RF Sniffer provides audible indication of sensor
transmission. The installer or service technician can use the
RF Sniffer to determine if a wireless sensor is transmitting.
How It Works
The RF Sniffer listens for transmission from ITI wireless
sensors and emits a low tone when it detects the presence of
the ITI carrier frequency. These tones represent rounds of
sensor information transmitted by the sensor. Each round
(or beep) contains a data stream of information.
How to Use It
Simply hold the RF Sniffer within 15 cm of the transmitter
in question, then trip the transmitter and count the beeps
from the RF Sniffer.
Ìi
The RF Sniffer is a short range device and should not
be used in place of a sensor test. Use the RF Sniffer
only to verify that sensors are transmitting. Do not use
it to determine transmitting range, which is dependent
on the panel receiver and the installation environment.
What the Beeps Indicate
8 Beeps
Open or alarm transmission for intrusion type sensors.
Restore or tamper transmission for Learn Mode sen-
sors.
Alarm transmission for Learn Mode fire and panic sen-
sors.
4 beeps
Restore and tamper transmissions from all SX-V sen-
sors.
16 Beeps
Alarm transmission for SX-V fire and panic sensors.
Steady Tone
Runaway (defective) transmitter.
Using the RF Sniffer for Troubleshooting
A good example for troubleshooting with the RF Sniffer is
to use it to check a sensor if the system protests when arm-
ing. Use the RF Sniffer to verify that the sensor protested by
the system is transmitting a restore signal.
Replacing and Disposing of Lithium
Batteries
The RF Sniffer is powered by one 3.6 VDC, 1/2 AA lithium
battery. When the beep volume diminishes, replace the bat-
tery immediately.
1/"
Replace only with SAFT LS14250 battery. Observe
polarity when installing a new battery. Installing the
battery backwards may cause damage to the sensor.
Dispose of used batteries according to the
manufacturer’s instructions and/or local government
authorities.
