Diagnostics
The diagnostics function shows all wireless (radio)
input and bell signal strengths and battery strengths.
Signal Strength (Inputs and Bells)
One of the most important factors for a reliable
wireless installation is the signal strength between
a wireless device and the panel. If a device is out of
range it will not be able to send events to the Enforcer
panel therefore it is recommended that a signal
strength test is performed before fixing devices into
place. The Enforcer has an advanced signal strength
mechanism that operates by monitoring all inputs/bells
after 5 minutes from the start of the test. It will perform
this test every 16 seconds.
NOTE: When performing a signal strength test it is
recommended that the system is tested in the 'worst
case scenario' for example with all doors and windows
closed.
Once the function is entered, a count down from 300
will begin, when 0 is reached the input results display
will be shown, or press t during the count down
to go to the input display immediately, one of the
following will be displayed:

information
0
Missing (reposition and retest)
1
Weak signal (reposition and retest)
2
Good install position
3
Excellent signal
The signal strength can also be read from the wireless
device LEDs.
GREEN LED = Good. RED LED = Bad
When the display is showing the input status, pressing
t will show each individual input and a detailed
signal strength reading will be shown as follows:
Result
Excellent [50 to 100]
Good [30 to 49]
Weak [0-29]
Missing [-]
