Wireless Repeater Signal Strength
The signal strength for wireless repeaters is visible in sections [548] and [549]; these sections represent repeaters 1 and 2, respectively. To view the signal strength, proceed as follows:
1. Enter the wireless repeater’s respective section (e.g., for repeater 1, enter section [548]).
2. Press the repeater’s anti-tamper switch. As shown in table 15, the number of beeps correspond to a preset signal strength range.
NOTE: The visual representation of a repeater’s signal strength is dependent on the type of keypad. For LED keypads, zones 1 through 10 will illuminate, depending on the signal strength. For instance, a signal
strength of 8 will result in zones 1 through 8 to illuminate. For LCD keypads, a ten-level progress bar composed of arrows will appear, followed by the numeric value. For a signal strength of 8, eight arrows will appear,
followed by the number 8.
