PROGRAMMING
The Radio Signal Strength Test can be used to test the radio signal
from any Ness radio device. The strength of the radio signal received
is displayed on the zone lights 1–9 and beeped by the keypad.
The higher the number displayed (and beeped) the stronger the
signal received.
Use
P08E 0E
to test Radio Keys, (press Panic button). Note that in
this mode, the R8 will respond to radio signals from any
programmed radio device. To avoid confusion from multiple radio
signals, this test is best performed while standing out of range of
any programmed radio PIRs.
Use
P08E 1E–8E
to test the signal strength of a specific radio device
on zones 1–8.
TO RESET THE TEST
The last signal strength tested remains flashing on the display. Press
keypad E or Radio Key ON button to exit from the current test. The
panel is then ready for another radio test.
To completely exit the Radio Signal Strength test, simply go to another
programming option or exit Installer Program Mode, (P + E).
