Solution 2000/3000- RF Diagnose & Signal Strength Test

Modified on Thu, 14 May at 1:45 PM

On IUI-SOL-TEXT codepad, we can type in [1][4] to do RF Diagnose.

For example, the two numbers 95/89 in the brackets, 95 is Signal Level and 89 is Signal Margin.

Signal Level

This parameter indicates the relative strength of the signal. The measurement returned is a value ranging from 0 – 99 with each digit encoded as a BCD (Binary-Coded Decimal).

Bit 8	Bit 7	Bit 6	Bit 5	Bit 4	Bit 3	Bit 2	Bit 1
10’s Digit				1’s Digit

Note: The higher the value the stronger the signal.

Signal Margin

This parameter represents a relative measurement of the amount of signal level above the noise floor. The measurement returned is a value ranging from 0 – 99 with each digit encoded as a BCD.

Bit 8	Bit 7	Bit 6	Bit 5	Bit 4	Bit 3	Bit 2	Bit 1
10’s Digit				1’s Digit

Note: The higher the value number, the greater the signal margin.

To check the signal strength using an ICON keypad, follow the steps below:

1. Enter the installer code or Master code, followed by [1][4][1] and the [#] key.
2. Enter the device number (1-16) you want to check the RF strength, followed by the [*] key.
3. Codepad indicator 1 ~ 16 is on or flashing depending on strength.

-16 indicators are on - strongest

-16 indicators are flashing - weakest

4. Press the [#] key to exit.
