Verifying RF Signal Strength
Verifying RF Signal Strength
Viewing Signal Strength for a Wireless Sensor
To verify the RF signal strength received by the EA800 perform the following procedure:
If the remote sensor transmitter you are verifying is battery powered, it may take up to 30 seconds for the base unit
to receive a transmission from the remote sensor.
The base unit displays an approximation of signal strength as indicated by the
number of filled boxes on the screen as shown at right.
Note: The date and time shown at the bottom of the PERFORMANCE screen is the
time stamp of the last received transmission.
Ensure that at least 2 Signal Strength bars are displayed as shown at right. If not, it is
recommended that the sensor be relocated until at least 2 bars are achieved. More
bars reduces sensor alarm latency, reduces the probability of communication
alarms, and increases battery life.
For additional information on how to improve signal strength, refer to Winland
application note AN00101.
