Background Noise
This screen shows the background noise (dBm) for
Channel A and Channel B or the RF Channel Pair in-
use.
A larger -dBm number indicates less background noise.
Further from 0dBm is better.
• Excellent = (-125dBm or better)
• Good = (Between -110dBm and
-125dBm)
• Poor = (Between -105dBm and -110dBm)
• Very Poor = (-105dBm or worse)
If this screen is showing high levels of RF noise, RF communication with paired devices may be negatively affected
and could cause repeated or delayed communication, as well as link faults. This would also negatively affect battery
life as a result.
If you are experiencing issues try the following troubleshooting steps:
1. Re-check the installation section of the manual that discusses environment conditions. Has anything changed
since installation?
2. Are there any other RF devices installed that could be communicating on the same RF channels?
3. Re-survey the site – does this noise show in the background scan?
a. Does it affect all channels?
i. If yes and this wasn't found during the initial survey, then it must be something in step 1 or 2.
ii. If this was found during the initial survey, and the root cause either could not be identified or could not be
changed, then the site is not suitable for a REACH Wireless installation.
b. Does it only affect certain channels?
i. Try re-configuring the system to use these channels. This will require the REACH system to be factory
reset, so this should only be done by a competent person and with access to the commissioning sheet
that was filled in when the system was originally installed.
