Programming Menus 8-41
RADIO PA TEST
Function: This menu allows you to test radio panic attack buttons on the system, without causing alarms. Details of the unit
under test are displayed.
Additional Information
Location of Node
See HUA Node in 3GS Hardware.
Radio Field Strength
Some units do not support this feature. The Radio Field Strength
percentage will help the installer to determine the optimum
location for placement of a HUA Node. The installer can test a
node’s ability to receive a signal by activating an RPA button at
different locations throughout the premises. A low reading of signal
strength may require the node to be relocated. If relocation does
not provide the required coverage, an additional node may be
added to the system, placed in a suitable location and re-tested.
Battery Low
If the RPA battery level is below 7.5Vdc, the RPA will not operate
correctly and the system will display an RPA Battery Low message (in
which case batteries must be replaced). If the low battery condition
is ignored, the transmitter will eventually fail to transmit (the
transmit indicator will not illiminate when buttons are pressed).
