Problem: Radio Range seems less than it should be.
Check the placement of the directional antenna. Generally, the higher on the wall it is placed, the better the signal
pattern will be. If this link has been working for some time, inspect the antenna to see if it has been moved out of
alignment. Check the line of site between directional antennas to verify that no new construction or tree growth
has occurred, blocking the directional antenna link
If the problem persists and you have access to another CRM, try replacing the CRM. If this makes a difference, it
is possible the CRM may have become damaged, reducing its effectiveness. Contact your distributor for
assistance.
Problem: Retransmissions are excessive.
Verify that you selected and saved the correct
Estimated Distance on the A
NTENNA A IMING page (see Aiming the
Directional Antennas on page 33). This also sets internal CPU transmission timers. Using an incorrect setting can
cause retransmissions, which reduce the link’s efficiency and speed.
