Field Strength Indicator
Note:
This feature is NOT available for 869 MHz wide band RF modules.
While the OCU is in Programming Mode, it is possible to determine whether there are other OCUs or sources of
interference on the selected RF channel and how strong that signal is (i.e., its field strength). The level of the
signal can either be displayed via the ‘STATUS’ LED or output as an acoustic buzzer signal.
If there is a signal on the selected RF channel, it is recommended that you switch to another, free RF channel.
Note:
The field strength received from other OCUs should be as low as possible in order to rule out any
possible interference with the radio link between OCU and MCU.

7.10 Free RF Channel Scan Feature
Note:
This feature is NOT available for 869 MHz wide band RF modules.
This OCU has a function that allows you to automatically scan all channels in the respective frequency ranges for
busy channels or nearby interference. During the scan, the OCU performs field strength measurements and
creates an internal virtual channel suggestion list. When the scanning process is completed, the RF channel with
