3.0 Basic Functions
While the RF200D is in normal operation the three PCB switches have some engineer
friendly features, as listed below:
Site Survey Mode
This mode sends out a beacon signal every second to assist the engineer in finding an
ideal location for installing the RF200D. You should aim for a minimum of 2-3 bars of signal
strength for a reliable link.
By pressing switches 1 & 2 together for a brief second the RF200D enters ‘Site Survey’
mode. Site Survey mode only sends out a beacon signal and does not control any of the
RF200D’s outputs. To exit this mode, again press switches 1 & 2 for a brief second, or
replace the box cover for 5 seconds. It is only advisable to enter one unit into site survey
mode at any particular time.
Channel 1 or 2 Input Test
Holding down either switch 1 or 2 for half a second sends the corresponding channel ‘ON’
signal. Any receiving device paired to this channel will activate its corresponding outputs.
Again this is useful for a engineer to check a channel is working correctly.
Tamper Switch
Holding down the tamper switch for 5 seconds simulates the box lid being closed and
switches off all of the internal status LED’s. The RF200D will also send a status packet on
the tamper switch changing state. There is also a one second delay when you release the
tamper switch before the status LED’s become active. Holding down the tamper switch
while in configuration mode for 5 seconds exits configuration mode without saving any
new changes.
