Sensor testing notes
• Conduct sensor test in all possible environmental conditions (for example: interior
doors open and closed, HVAC system on and off, wireless music system turned on
and off).
• Conduct sensor test whenever changes are made to the installation environment
that may impact RF performance (for example: mirrors installed, metal backed
wall paper, addition of other RF equipment).
• If a sensor doesn’t meet minimum packet requirements, contact your installer.
