Spectra 1759MG 19
6.2 Viewing the Wireless Transmitter Signal Strength
Sections [631] to [638]
Once wireless transmitters have been installed and assigned to the Spectra 1759MG, the signal strength of each transmitter can
be verified in sections [631] to [638]. Each section represents the signal strength viewer for a specific device. For example,
section [631] is the viewer for the device in section [601] and section [638] is the viewer for the device in section [608]. Please
note that this feature only works with wireless transmitters assigned to an Expansion Input (zone) as described in Assigning
Wireless Transmitters to the Receiver on page 18. A reading of 1 is the weakest and a reading of 8 is the strongest. An average
reading of 3 or higher is acceptable. Sometimes moving the transmitter or control panel by a small amount will greatly increase
the signal reception.
After entering the desired section, ignore the first reading as it will not be accurate.
You can also use a beep sequence feature to verify a transmitter’s signal strength. When you press a transmitter’s anti-tamper
switch, beep tones emanating from all the keypads connected to the communication bus will advise you of the transmitter’s signal
strength.
This feature cannot be used with any remote controls assigned to the control panel.
6.3 Serial Number Display

This feature will display the serial number of any wireless transmitter on any Spectra keypad.
