RADIO TROUBLESHOOTING

How can I fail my signalling paths without having to disconnect them?
To fail each path select menu options N or O
• Menu N – Fails primary path
• Menu O – Fails secondary path
Using the A or B button scroll until you see menu N or O on the display, then press and hold the C
button until you see (_). Press the A or B buttons to toggle between Y & N, then press C to select the
option.
Y = Yes, fail the path.
N = Normal, restore the failed path.
"Y" will only fail the path for a total of 15 minutes.
What does the flashing dot in the right-hand side of the display indicate?
The flashing dot in the right-hand corner of the display indicates that DualCom Pro is actively
transmitting data.

How can I check the signal strength of each radio module?

You can check the signal strength of each radio module on a commisioned device via the My Base App.
Alternatively you can toggle between the signal strength of each radio module, move DIP Switch 4 of
the secondary radio module to ON or OFF (opposite position). The display of the DualCom Pro will read
GSM 1 or GSM 2 followed by the Radio Access Technology (RAT) and signal strength between 1-10 (10-
100%) dependant on the radio module.

Does my unit have a roaming SIM?

Yes, all variants of DualCom Pro devices come with at least 2 Roaming 4G SIMs
If the signal strength of my DualCom Pro is under 3 (30%) what can I do to improve my
signal strength?
For all radio variants:
• Avoid coiling the aerial cable
• Move the aerial away from electrical equipment/wiring
• Move the aerial to a higher point in the property or closer to a window/door
Where you are using a dual radio variant, it is possible to purchase an additional Radio/Wi-Fi Module
Enclosure with in-built aerials. This will enable you to locate the secondary radio module in a different
location. Please visit the CSL Installer Shop for more information.
