TX Power Setting
Transmitters shipped from the factory will have its Transmitter Power (TX) value set according to its
Model Number and this value is consistent with those values given in Table 7-4.
The TX Power setting may be changed via the Authentication Device when a special application (app) is
installed. This app is considered to be Honeywell sensitive material and is made available only to the
qualified Professional Installer.
Due to radio approval body regulations, changing the TX Power setting is only available if the
professional installer option has been explicitly enabled on your Authentication Device.
WARNING:
The Transmitter must be Professionally Installed in accordance with
the requirements specified in this document. Only the specified
power settings, antenna types and gains and cable lengths
(attenuation) as outlined in this document are valid for Transmitter
installations.
Maintenance
The IR Port will show LRV, URV and other configuration information.
