Select Network and Transceiver ID
If necessary to determine the Transceiver dipswitch set-
tings see Determining Transceiver Dipswitch Set-
tings on page 8 for a guide. It does not matter if an
RS232 connection or an RS422 connection is used
or will be used in the installation. To perform the test
all that’s needed is a powered on Transceiver and the
correct network ID and Transceiver ID entered into the
RF signal tester.
1. Press the left button (B) under PROGRAM to dis-
play the current Transceiver’s network and address
(NET WK ID A, TRANS ID A). See F
IG. 4.
2. If necessary, enter a new letter for the network ID
and address ID for the target Transceiver. These
new settings are based on the target Transceiver dip
switch settings. (See manual 309498 for detailed dip
switch instructions).
Press the SELECT button (A) to toggle between the
Network and Transceiver ID. Use the center
up/down buttons (C) to change letter designations.
See F
IG. 4.
3. Press the PROGRAM button (B) to save settings
and return to the Main screen.
Performing the RF Signal Test
1. Press the trigger switch to begin testing the signal
quality between the tester and the Transceiver. See
F
IG. 5.
Once the RF test begins, the Signal Tester transmits ten
test messages to the Transceiver and “listens” for the
Transceiver to send a signal back to the Signal Tester
acknowledging that the message was received. This
series of ten test messages is called a test interval and
takes approximately ten seconds. However, the ten sec-
ond interval can vary depending on the RF environment
and signal quality.
IMPORTANT: Do not move the Signal Tester while test-
ing a specific location.
2. Once the series of ten signals is complete the Sig-
nal Tester screen will display the results as either a
GOOD SIGNAL or BAD SIGNAL. See F
IG. 6.
