Fault
Possible cause
Testing and rectification
Sensor signal
is not
received.
Sensor does not send.
Send a test packet by briefly pressing the key
on the sensor. LED must flash once.
If necessary, test the battery state using PUII.
Sensor lies outside the
range of the I/O-Unit.
Test the wireless link using the "wireless meas-
uring system". If the display value is smaller
than "8", change the installation location. Alter-
natively, use a repeater or an external antenna.
Sensor has been removed or
interchanged.
Replace the sensor or/and re-register.
Incorrect or no sensor registered
to the I/O-Unit.
Check the sensor list on the Processing Unit
web page.
If necessary, re-register the sensor.
Antenna not connected correctly. Check the antenna installation, plug connectors
and the laying of the antenna cable.
I/O-Unit is installed in a
shielded area.
Test the wireless link using the "wireless meas-
uring system". If the display value is smaller
than "8", use an external antenna.
Interfering transmitter (continu-
ous transmitter) present.
Test the wireless link using the "wireless meas-
uring system". Display value should be 8-9 in
the vicinity of the I/O-Unit. If necessary, rectify
the interfering transmitter.
Sensor is
sometimes not
received.
Sensor lies in the fringe range
of the I/O-Unit.
Test the wireless link using the "wireless meas-
uring system". If the display value is smaller
than "8", change the installation location or use
a repeater.
Sensor lies in the fringe range
of the I/O-Unit.
Increase the power reserves of the wireless link:
Mount the base and the sensor as high as pos-
sible to minimise the absorbing characteristics
of the floor, and the effect of objects and per-
sons.
Intermittent change of the
ambient conditions (enclosure,
door, objects, persons, interfer-
ing transmitter, etc.).
Increase the power reserves of the wireless link:
Change the installation location of the sensor or
the I/O-Unit (the other sensors of the I/O-Unit
then must be recalibrated) or use repeaters. If
necessary, rectify the interfering transmitter.
The installation location of the
sensor changes periodically
(mobile sensor).
Change the installation location of the sensor so
that it lies in the receiving area.
Interfering transmitter
sometimes present.
Rectify or switch off the interfering transmitter.
