Testing (Signal Strength)

Use the Service PIN to go to the TEST menu.

Select App for application module and then W/L for wireless.

Select Scan. Activate a sensor.

The screen will display information about each sensor it receives. E.g. Cnt56DB5 (door/window contact and its
address), 014 (input #14), 80 02 4 (sensor transmit codes).

Press XESC escape to return to the TEST screen. Press Signal.

Activate a sensor. Screen indicates signal strength of sensor it receives. E.g. “Strength is 8 !”. Signal strength of
7 to 8 is acceptable. Signal strength of 6 or less is poor to unacceptable. The input point # transmitting will also
indicate: (Tx: 014).

Another method to check if a sensor is transmitting is to stand near the RF module holding a sensor and activate
the sensor. The large green LED, visible through the module’s cover will flash upon activating the sensor to
indicate signal transmission.

RF Module sensor inputs OK or Not OK and Tamper can be checked in System Status/Area/Points.

RF Module, hand held keypad(s) and sensor status

can be checked in System Status under App – Wireless

using the left or right arrow LCD keypad keys for conditions such as low battery, sensor loss. Disregard any codes
in lower right corner of these screens.
