• The command is compatible with PHE-3FB2.
• Commands “1” and “0” are compatible with PHE-3FBE1.
• Since the “S” command can control Flashing Pattern 2, as well as Buzzer Patterns 3 and 4,
it is recommended to use the “S” command for controlling those operations for this product.
When using the “S” command, do not use the “1” or “0” commands.
• After sending a control command to the Main Unit as per it’s specifications, if the control
commands are sent without waiting for the reply data from the Main Unit, it will not operate
normally (Which is how it is supposed to operate when a NAK reply is not received).
