[985] - Radio Initialization Status
The radio initialization status provides installers with the status of radio communication. It is displayed as an 8-digit toggle
option, with each digit indicating a task in the initialization process.
1. Radio power up
2. Received the SMS from C24 Communications
3. Radio reset
4. Radio attached to network
5. Receiver 1 initialized
6. Receiver 2 initialized
7. Receiver 3 initialized
8. Receiver 4 initialized
For example, the radio initialization status code 12-45--- indicates that radio has been powered up, it has received SMS sig-
nal from C24 Communications, the radio is attached to the network, and receiver 1 has been initialized. This code would
update to 12-45678 when receivers 2, 3, and 4 are initialized.
If the radio initialization status code does not indicate any problems, proceed with installation as per this manual. If troubles
are reported, reset the initialization process. If this action does not fix the problem, refer to the trouble shooting section in this
manual.
The following table shows each digit position in the status code, each digit’s value and its assigned meaning in the eight-
digit code:
