Viewing the Repeater’s Signal Strength
Sections [548] to [549]
Once the repeaters have been installed and assigned to the control panel, the signal strength of each repeater can be verified in sections [548] to [549]. Section
[548] is the viewer for repeater 1 and section [549] is the viewer for the repeater 2. Sometimes moving the repeater or control panel by a small amount will greatly
increase the signal reception.
