Testing Signal Strength
To initiate a signal strength test, push the Test button on
the sensor (see location of Test button in
Figure 102
and
Figure 103
).
•
Models WZS: LED1, LED2, and LED3 respond by
indicating signal strength. You can view them on the
sensor (
Table 66
) and the receiver (
Table 67
).
•
Model WDS: Test symbols on the sensor display
indicate signal strength (
Table 66
). LED1, LED2, and
LED3, on the receiver, respond by indicating signal
strength (
Table 67
).
