4.8 Diagnostics
4.8.1 General Guidance – "Diagnostics" Flow-Chart & Menu Options
The DIAGNOSTICS menu enables you to test your system and to verify proper operation of your PowerMaster 360
panel, wireless devices attached to it and the communication (GSM/GPRS/SIM) modules.
IMPORTANT!
Reliable reception must be assured during the initial testing and also throughout subsequent system
maintenance. A
device should not be installed in location where signal strength is "poor".
If you get "poor" signal
strength from a certain device, simply re-locate it and re-test until a "good" or "strong" signal strength is received. This
principle should be followed throughout the diagnostic test procedure
.
The diagnostic test process is shown below.
The "
07.DIAGNOSTICS
" menu contains several sub-menu options, each covering a group of configurable features and
parameters related to the communication and reporting as follows (see the list in Step 3 of the chart below):
