RF (radio frequency) signal link testing
This unit provides a convenient RF link testing, to ensure good RF
transmission without setting off the alarm.
Hit the
?
button and hold for a couple of seconds. The unit will sound
one beep or five consecutive beeps. This will depend on whether the
unit is set to ON or OFF. Continue to hold this TEST button for three
seconds until you hear three consecutive beeps. The unit will send
out a RF alarm signal to the receiver inside the house without setting
itself off.
The receiver inside the house should sound within ten seconds after
this three consecutive beeps. If the receiver does not ring, move the
receiver to another location and check the installation again. Ensure
all
POOLEYE devices are set to the same channel. (Refer to channel
A/B select of both pool side alarm transmitter and receiver).
IMPORANT NOTES:
Remember to check the RF link periodically
to ensure good RF transmission. If the RF
signal is weak, replace the battery in the
pool side alarm with a new one.
RF signal can be transmitted through a solid
wall. However, it is possible that this may
weaken the RF signal. To avoid this, it is
important to place the receiver in a straight
line of sight to the transmitter whenever possible.
The microprocessor (built in the transmitter) is programmed to
make three attempts to send the encoded RF signal out to the
receiver. If the first attempt fails, the transmitter will change the
coding and make a second attempt. If it fails again, the
transmitter will change the coding and try for the third time. As
a result, you may experience a few seconds delay between
setting off the pool side alarm transmitter to the receiver.
Battery level affects RF signal strength. Weak battery in the pool
side alarm transmitter will give weak RF signal out.
