Wireless Operation (Signal
Strength)
While in Fault Find mode the keypad will
provide an audible (Table 6) and visual (Figure
5) indication of each transmitter’s signal
strength. The signal strength metering is based
on a scale of 4 to 10, with 4 being marginal and
10 being excellent.
The keypad will beep out a number, from 1-4,
corresponding to the signal strength of the
transmitter. See Table 6. Each beep is 1-
second long. The keypad will sound a short
beep for transmitters with signal strengths of 3
or less.
Signal Strength Logging Mode
The Signal Strength Logging Mode is a
troubleshooting tool which allows the collection of
signal strength information for all transmitters on
the system. Normally the Signal Strength of
Supervisory Signals are not logged; during Signal
Strength Logging Mode the signal strength
information for all supervisory signals received
over a two hour period will be saved to the LOG.
Local Activation

signal strength information.
