If the panel sounds less than the required number of beeps when a zone/sensor is
tripped, this indicates wireless sensor signal strength is below acceptable limits.
Distances from the receiver and/or installation environment are most likely affecting
the sensor’s signal strength. Contact your dealer/installer if this occurs.
