Improving Wireless Signal Strength
As you make changes to the module location to improve signal strength, request updated signal readings to
verify changes. To request an updated reading, press and hold the "5" key for 2 seconds. In the image below,
the radio has 3 out of 5 bars or 13/31 and is connected to the network.
Radio: 123__ 13
Connected
Guidelines for optimal wireless signal strength:
Install the module above ground level, as high up as possible within the structure.
l
Install the module near or adjacent to an exterior-facing wall of the structure.
l
Do not install the module inside a metal structure or close to large metal objects or ducts.
l
Upgrade the antenna. Contact DSC technical support for antenna options.
