TESTING

Performawalktestaroundzone1andactivateapendantatallextremeswhereyouexpectradiocoverage.
Theprint‐outwillshowtheRSSIvaluesforallZonedNetworkReceiversthatpick‐upthependanttransmission.
Typicalprint‐out;
RP0095ZONE0120/0513:16ON (ReceivedPower=95forZone1)
RP0078ZONE0220/0513:16ON (ReceivedPower=78forZone2)
RP0067ZONE0320/0513:16ON (ReceivedPower=67forZone3)
AL0038PENDANT20/0513:16ON (AlarmfromPendantID0038)
CA0038PENDANT20/0513:16ON (CallAnsweredfromPendantID0038)
CE0038PENDANT20/0513:16ON (CallEnded fromPendantID0038)

ThiscallwouldbereportedasZone1(theonewiththe strongestReceivedPower). 
TheRSSIvalueswilltypicallyrangefrom120(maxstrength)downtoabout40.Note:ifaZonedNetworkReceiverdoesnot
pick‐upthetransmissionnothingwillbeprintedforthatzone.
IfneighbouringzonesarereceivingsimilarRSSIvaluestheirsignalstrengthshouldbeattenuatedtogivethemaximumRSSI
valueforthezoneyouarein.See“AttenuatingRSSIvalues”below.
RepeatwalktestsforallzonesandattenuateRSSIvaluesasnecessarytotryandachievebestcoverag eforeachzonewith
minimumoverlap.TheReceivedPowerwillbeprefixedwitha*ontheprint‐outwhenRSSIvalueisattenuated.

RP*068ZONE0220/0513:16ON (*meansReceivedPowerhasbeenattenuated)

Pleasenotetheset‐upof ZonedNetworkReceiversisnotanexactscienceasmanyfactorsaffectradiorange,insome
casesacompromisewillhavetobemadebetweenrangeandoverlap.FullsitecoverageusingStandardNeworkReceivers
willalwaysensurenopendantalarmcallgoesun‐detected.
