Wireless Keypad Signal Strength

The signal strength for wireless keypads is visible in sections [591] to [598]; these sections represent keypads 1 through 8, respectively. To view the signal strength,

proceed as follows:

1. Enter the wireless keypad’s respective section (e.g., for keypad 1, enter section [591]).

2. Press on the keypad. As shown in table 21, the number of beeps correspond to a preset signal strength range.

NOTE: The visual representation of a keypad’s signal strength is dependent on the type of keypad. For LED keypads, zones 1 through 10 will illuminate, depending

on the signal strength. For instance, a signal strength of 8 will result in zones 1 through 8 to illuminate. For LCD keypads, a ten-level progress bar composed of

arrows will appear, followed by the numeric value. For a signal strength of 8, eight arrows will appear, followed by the number 8.
