Signal Strength and the Indicator LEDs
Signal Strength LED
Off: The signal strength less than one.
Flashing: The flashing is in proportion to the signal strength. The frequency increases as the signal strength
increases from greater than 1× the user-selected signal strength threshold to 4× the signal strength threshold.
On: The signal strength is greater than 4× the user-selected signal strength threshold.
Output LEDs
Indicate that a target is present within the taught range and the signal strength is above the required signal strength
threshold.
