Colored points on the graph represent each state change or supervisory signal
transmitted from a sensor to the panel. Points are colored based on frequency.
The YELLOW line represents a dBm level where signal strength is “Poor” and
potential RF failures could occur. This line dynamically adjusts to 12 dBm
above the ambient RF noise floor in the environment.
The RED line represents a dBm level where signal strength is “Critical” and RF
failures are likely. This line dynamically adjusts to 6 dBm above the ambient
RF noise floor in the environment.
TROUBLESHOOTING: If a sensor falls below the yellow line, try changing it’s
orientation (vertical/horizontal), move the sensor to a different part of the
door/window or adjust the panel’s RF pigtail antenna.
