High Power/Low Power Mode

The default Low Power Mode range of the IF-006 transmits up to 1.2km with a clear line of sight. The North
American variants of the Layer N IF-006 offer a High Power Mode feature that boosts the wireless transmit signal
range of the device to 3.2km with a clear line of sight.
Note: Utilizing High Power Mode will lower the battery life of the IF-006. Refer to the table below for battery life
estimations based on transmit power and update time.
To utilize High Power Mode, navigate to the
Device Settings tab in the SYNC interface.
Click Additional Settings under the Interface
Settings section.
Check the High Power Mode box to enable it.

Transmit Interval

The Transmit Interval determines the time between readings for the Smart Probe. Probes connected to the IF-006
will have their transmit interval automatically set to 10 seconds if it is set to a number less than that to prevent
wireless congestion. This transmit interval will also be reset to your minimum interval based on your Layer N Cloud
account level once the IF-006 is paired. The Transmit Interval can be adjusted by navigating to the Device Settings
tab in the SYNC interface and will appear beneath the Sensor Settings section.
Note: SYNC can also be used to set passwords for your Layer N Smart Probes (refer to section 5 Setting Passwords).
For more information on Omega's SYNC configuration software, refer to the SYNC User's Manual.
